Perusing Mugglenet (as I am wont to do on occasion) I came across a
report from someone who has seen the press preview of Goblet of
Fire. It warns for spoilers (so don't go there if you don't want to
know what WB have done with the story - and I won't divulge too much
either). Anyway, he says we should go to the cinema with an open
mind and not worry about what they have or haven't got in from the
book (safe in the knowledge that we know the nuances and the true
gems of wit and literary greatness that Jo first created).
It sounds as if the visual effects are stunning (but we knew that
already from the trailers), we don't get to see much Quidditch at the
World Cup, and Bill (ahh, Bill), Charlie, Percy and Molly are all
absent, as are Dobby, Winky and Rita Skeeter's animagus alter ego.
Anyway the point that I am gradually (and some would say repetitively
and rather labouriously) getting to is that we haven't seen Voldemort
yet.
What we have seen apparently, is the weakened Voldy before he's
rejuvinated - and it sounds like this guy (whoever the lucky so and
so was) felt the transformation was really something, and I've read
that although minimal make up was used, even Ralph Fiennes's nephews
didn't recognise him ... Mmm
Not sure I would go for Voldy but I feel a crush coming on - Barty
Crouch Jnr looks really quite evil and deranged (I fell for David
Tennant as Casanova AND I get to enjoy him in Dr Who very soon!!!
Yippee!!!)and of course we get the luscious Lucius (Jason Isaacs just
has to look a certain way and my knees wobble), oh, and lets not
forget Snape ... I just always fall for the bad guy! I'm soooo
excited about this new film, almost as excited as I was for HBP - can
I cope with all of it in less than 6 months? Answers on a
postcard ...
