More parallels

Hi there again, movie fans,
I have thought of more parallels and "things aren't what they seem" and 
whilst I know these are obvious, I want to put them out there and 
further acknowledge the poetry of this film. 

There are two really big "not what they seem" things, the mankey old 
boot and the tri-wizard cup and they are again in parallel. The boot 
begins the thing, the cup ends it. I have to contrast this with POA and 
tell you, I did understand that film as well. I couldn't see where 
Cuaron was going with his material. Is there some thread there that I 
am missing? Was it more than a lot of beautiful film pieced together 
with some necessary plot bits? I know he was creative with cues like 
the stone hitting Harry and the wolf call so I know he had a plan. I 
just do not understand it. Knowing that GOF has a plan, follows the 
book in so many important ways was a great thing to see. I think this 
one, for all the things I miss (there are many but alas I digress 
again) is the closest to what Harry is about.
Running to make lunches!
