The maze *was* scary, but I didn't like the change at all. To me, the
whole point of the Triwizard tournament was to test the champions'
knowledge of magic, plus their inventiveness and nerve, to some
extent. In the movie!maze they (the champions) couldn't show any of
that, the only thing they could do was run, and the TWT was *not* a
running competition :-)!. The champions couldn't fight the maze with
magic, and their courage couldn't help them either - it was just
senseless running all the time (but again, it *was* scary :-)).

What's more, because of this change in the maze scene the movie-makers
didn't include the last conversation between Harry and Cedric - you
know, "you take it" - "no, you take it" etc. I love this conversation
so much, and I sometimes even cry when I read it ;-(. It is so
touching, and it makes me pity Cedric even more. You get the sense of
what kind of person he was from this scene more than from any other.
I'm really sorry this scene was not in the movie.


zanooda, thinking that both Harry and Cedric were at their best during
that last conversation in the book!maze.
