Posted by Bill 15 Days, 4 Hours, 54 Minutes and 30 Seconds Why, the time 'till the release of the fourth Harry Potter film, of course. And before you snicker too loudly, note that "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was the turning point for the series, when a vaguely amusing children's story hardened into a narrative with violent consequences. Director Mike Newell: Newell concedes that this fourth Harry Potter film is even more intense than its immediate predecessor, The Prisoner of Azkaban. "I think it's darker, and crueller. But you can't keep making these films for little kids. It's clear that JK Rowling is now not writing for little kids. She's moved on up, and you'd better do the same." Sounds good. I could take or leave the first two movies (though the second was better than the rambling, sickly-sweet first), but Alfonso Curan's third effort was a mildly spooky visual treat. With the source material of Rawlings' strongest book of the series, the promised dark tone and Ralph Fiennes playing the psychopathic Lord Voldermort, I get the feeling that this fourth outing will be a very good flick. Accio Potter. The international trailer can be viewed here.

And I don't even really care for Harry Potter all that much. Posted by: Kathy at November 2, 2005 09:19 PM Is this the one where Harry finally tags Hermione? Posted by: harrison at November 2, 2005 09:33 PM It's so nice to know there are other adults who are into the Harry Potter books/movies. Posted by: Monica at November 2, 2005 10:16 PM Oh, well, I'm actually like eleven years old. But still, good books. Posted by: Bill from INDC at November 2, 2005 10:27 PM I'm so glad that there are others as excited as I am! And they *are* good books (the movies should just keep getting better and better). I found a great clip from the Quidditch World Cup here: http://www.omelete.com.br/cinema/news/base_para_news.asp?artigo=15235 Posted by: Richmond at November 2, 2005 10:43 PM There's another wicked awesome trailer over at the official Warner Brothers site for the movie. Posted by: Watcher at November 2, 2005 10:56 PM But will Dawn French be back as the Fat Lady? Posted by: jeff at November 2, 2005 11:23 PM I've noted the same transition you have, Bill, but I've also noted the same transition with LOTR. As I said on my own blog when I linked you, here, I suspect Rowling of using Tolkien as a model in this regard. Posted by: Bithead at November 3, 2005 11:07 AM Oh sure, every fantasy author uses Tolkien, in many regards. Posted by: Bill from INDC at November 3, 2005 11:14 AM "Is this the one where Harry finally tags Hermione?" - harrison Uh, no. They are like, 14. And that they aren't into each other. But you would have to read the books to know that. I didn't like the last one visually. Liked the darker tone, both in the story (which was in the book) and the lighting and all that; but it didn't really look magical, like the first two. Especially didn't like how they were in normal clothes all the time (especially Ron, who wouldn't have that much, besides stuff to go out to London and such). That, and how mountain-ish it was. I didn't think that there was anywhere in the British Isles with topography like that. Posted by: TheRoyalFamily at November 3, 2005 03:39 PM Hell, the most recent book was so bleak it was downright depressing. Good, though. Can't wait to see what H-wood does with all that.
