Greg Alba and Tara Erickson dive into the magical chaos of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the film that takes the Wizarding World to new heights with the Triwizard Tournament, the Yule Ball, and the terrifying return of Lord Voldemort. This reaction covers all the film’s most iconic moments, including Harry vs. the Hungarian Horntail, the underwater challenge in the Black Lake, the maze’s deadly traps, Cedric Diggory’s tragic death, and Voldemort’s resurrection, which remains one of the most chilling scenes in the entire franchise. The film introduces Barty Crouch Jr. (David Tennant) in a major twist, as well as Mad-Eye Moody (Brendan Gleeson), whose lessons on the Unforgivable Curses left a lasting impact on Harry and fans alike. The emotional weight of Cedric’s fate, Dumbledore's "Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?" moment, and the shocking final duel make this one of the darkest and most defining entries in the series.

Starting point is 00:01:45 And I like that. But also, I kind of liked how this ended on a, on a bittersweet. I was like, oh, my God, what's happening? I really like how this ended on a bitter sweet note. um today some days feel a bitch of sweet i liked i just liked how she was like this means everything is going to change right and he's like yeah um i really really like the ending to this movie like that was so realistic and it was really just like strong and grounded and it just i don't know i just i loved it i love that i love that writing yeah and that note of that
Starting point is 00:02:27 of everything's going to change like so despair like i think that that yes is that combination that is that you said bittersweet of yeah like it's going to be hard but we're going to make it through we'll do yeah yeah all of that yes that one yes it's a surprisingly strong yes moment yeah to end on as opposed a cliffhanger of like dangers ahead you know uh yeah i agree i agree yes movie definitely uh my state has definitely change from where I was before. I feel a lot better. Like for the better, right?
Starting point is 00:03:00 Yeah, absolutely. I feel a lot better. Yeah. And that's what movies are supposed to do. Like, that's why we get addicted to movies. It's because you go in and you lose yourself and then you're like, oh, that's why I love them. You could walk out feeling different than before you started. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Takes you away. It's more than just escapism. Like, it can literally shift your state of being in bed time, which can affect the rest of your night's day. Yeah. So thank you, Harry Potter and the Galpoena. So here's what happened when I saw it. Oh, yeah. The movie just started.
Starting point is 00:03:32 You see how early Robert Pattinson comes in? Yes. These three guys next to me were super loud, never met them, the total strangers, and they clearly read the book. Oh, okay. And they were all Andrew Gordon's. Oh, God. So the second Cedric Diggery, Robert Pattinson shows up on screen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:54 All three of them just start going like, oh, God. oh yeah he dies right yeah he dies he dies and i was like what the fuck oh my god and i did turn to them the goal and i said hey i've never seen i just said i've never seen i've never read the book so can you guys not do that please and they were cool they were like oh sorry yeah i don't know why you have to tell someone that in a theater why would you say out loud in a theater oh he dies right all three of them i can't just to play the whole like we've read the book thing We're bonding. Nope.
Starting point is 00:04:29 If you're by yourself, that's my reaction video is like this. If you're by yourself, that's why you do that. That's when you do that shit. You don't do that in a theater full of people, you know? Not at all. That would piss me off. Yeah. So I was distracted the whole time.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Yeah, because you're like, when is he going to die? Why does he die? I couldn't pay attention to the movie because I was just so mad. I was thinking about the alt. This happened the same thing when I saw Interstellar the first time. Something really bad happened that day that day when it happened. and then I couldn't pay attention. During that.
Starting point is 00:04:58 And so I get so like back then especially, I would get like the rage blackout in a sense of like, yeah, all I'm thinking about is my like how inferiority. I haven't processed what's happened on screen because I've already had ADHD and I'll not be paying attention to the dialogue or anything that's happening. Because you're thinking about the bad thing that happened.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Yeah. And I'm just thinking about, I can't remember if I'm trapped in the theater with this anger right now. Yeah. It's happened with that. Happen with Interstellar and it. in with a million dollar baby. The first time I went through a real breakup a couple hours before I watched it.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Oh my God, no. That, yeah, I was like, I don't know, 14 or something. I love that movie. But my, so, and then moving forward, it was like weird. Before we watched this, I was thinking so much about that because I noticed I didn't treat getting to know the Harry Potter movies anywhere near as important or significant after that day. Right, because they messed it up.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Yeah, yeah. So it's kind of, and I'm like, no wonder. I had like PTSD. I don't remember so much of the movies because of that one experience that because I'm like, wow, watching Gobble to Fire. I'm like, none of this like seems familiar. I forgot that this was Voldemort's first time he shows up, but I didn't remember Robert Pattinson will die. Yeah. I did remember when we were watching.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, and now I'm going to tell you before you guys will flip it out in the comments, the, the Ralph finds, I got him confused with, um, Patrick Stewart? No, no, no. Michael Fossbender. Yeah, who plays Black Widow's husband. Black Widow's husband?
Starting point is 00:06:34 Yeah, who's Black Widow's husband with the red hair and the exact same eyes as Ralph Fienes? Who do you think Black Widow? Black Widow doesn't have a husband? I'm sorry, not Black Widow. When she's in the show. Who? Black Widow? No.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Black, Scarlet. Scarlet. Sorry, Scarlet. The Disney show is Scarlet and she's in the. Harlow Witch? Yeah, and she's in the house with the husband. Oh, you know, Paul Bettany. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:07:01 God bless. Oh, I can see how you got them confused. Yeah. They look alike. So, everyone, I'm glad this happened. I made a lot of mistakes about all the names just now, but we got that clear to up. Okay? All right.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Don't worry. People have already common police. Oh, I know. I know. I'm not even in the comments, but I just, I had to let the people know so that some of the people are listening to it now go, oh, they are sick. Right. She's not insane. Right. Although I am a little bit. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:31 But what did you think of this movie? I really, I really enjoyed it. I thought that we really got to dive deep into them being teenagers. Number one, I did think that Hermione had a bit of a toad. She literally from the last movie to this movie in when she would be annoyed in her one line that she had in this, not her one line, but she goes, boys. Right. She seemed annoyed. All the other films, I know that Hermione probably would have delivered it. I was like, boys. Right? She grew up in this movie. They all did. They all had the teenage hormones that were like, and I'm sure that it was a slight direction as well to be like, these things that happened to you, you're going to get more ticked off than you probably have before. Specifically between we finally see a disruption between all of them, between Ron and Hermione. That really that Hermione and Ron do like each other. My most favorite scene was when Hermione
Starting point is 00:08:32 calls him out and is crying and is like, you messed up everything. Like, I love that. That's like the heart of the story here, although we don't really have to pay attention to it. The rest of it is like, of course, we want to fly around in a broomstick and see dragons and how is he going to escape
Starting point is 00:08:48 and become friends with Cedric and there's a bunch more to it. But I think at the heart of it is obviously the relationship between them three and I really liked also how Ron and him sort of sewed up their relationship and the moment that that happened. It was just so teenager-esque and I really like seeing them like that. It gave us that the sense and it showed us how grown up they are in a way and especially the end of like everything's going to change now and with his, yeah, it just summed it all up of like they are all a lot more grown than I expected.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Yeah, I would agree with you on that. I think they do feel the most like teenagers struggling with their emotions in this one. Yeah. And it's easy to forget about that aspect of what teenagers actually have to go through. Like, I like those little touches over. I'm sure some people find Ron, like, annoying in this movie. But I'm like, I don't know, I'm just being a teenage. I'm sure back, I bet even like a younger version of me would find Ron really
Starting point is 00:09:54 annoying but because I'm older now and I've had like time to observe my past I'm like oh yeah it's like you're weird with your emotions you don't know how to I mean don't struggle with it but like especially when you're a teen who's like a good-hearted teen but you don't know how to process some of these more complicated emotions of like how to express how you feel yeah you you say mean things you do mean things sometimes not everyone but a lot of teens do and I know what it's like to be that teenager when you're making those mistakes right so I find it it does make them more real and relatable yeah and it's cool to watch like these guys who are literally growing up on screen together who again are just it's easy to take it for granted like
Starting point is 00:10:35 you know watching them so consecutively from that first harry potter movie where you do see the kind of green and child actory to now you're like oh you are these characters yeah like you're not you're not acting you know and it is nice to see yeah and and and watch their evolution as I would say this is the most adventurous one for sure. I think, like, the amount of stuff from mermaids to, what was the first one, dragons, a ball, the maze. I think, like, and they started off with the, actually, you know, weirdly, they start off on a Quiddish World Cup. And we don't see it. Yeah, we don't see it.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Yeah. Oh, damn. And the last half, I thought, got really dark. I would put this on par with Harry Potter. I would say if I'm going to rank, I would say Prisoner Maskerman is my favorite so far. And I would say this and Chamber of Secrets are tied. I think there's definitely elements that this movie does better than Chamber of Secret.
Starting point is 00:11:43 It's weird because they're all amazing movies. Yeah, they are. And so I don't want to say by putting in a ranking that is, putting down how amazing this movie is. I do think that there's aspects that could have been a little bit more. You know what it is when I think about it? I feel like there was a very specific voice about one and two because of the same director. There's a very specific voice about three and I didn't really find as specific of a voice in this one from the direction.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Yeah. Not to say it's badly directed. I just start to interrupt. I just don't feel it's as like. like we can really talk about what it because they're juggling a lot more different things and because it has a bit of that Harry Potter one syndrome where yeah oh we got a lot we got to put in this one you know this is a thick one and we got I'm sure if I looked at the page count it would be significantly longer be just because of how much is in here even with the ball feeling like there's
Starting point is 00:12:40 a version of this where you can kind of see it with existing without having the ball right you get why it's still in the movie right there yeah so that's really like the one of the things that do think kind of gets in its way but the movie is consistently engaging and consistently entertaining and um i just i think like two is is a little bit sharper and it's in its focus and that's probably the one thing i'd give over to over this one but this is a really fun film with like some great horror and yeah i agree i think i think three just really had the point of view in shooting because there was such a style there that led us when you get handheld and you get
Starting point is 00:13:24 POV that leads us into what character are we looking through the lens as right and they did a lot of like long shots like a lot of those tracking shots just give us a lot of the environment all in one versus this one was a little bit back to the original way of shooting positive with one and two there was more stagnant shots and some zoom stuff like you were saying sam ramy like with the horror like a quick, like, zoom in, stuff like that. I don't know if that is why you feel the last one had more of a point of you or not. I am just saying that could be possibly why.
Starting point is 00:14:01 There was more POV shots and more, like, handheld, which kind of throws you in the moment a little bit more. And this one was a little bit more stagnant. But I don't think that either of those directing styles pull an audience out of seeing what the character is going through. It's just a style choice. That's all I'm saying. It's a stylistic choice.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Because we're still very, very affected by everything that happened here, especially like in the maze and like that girl is dying. And then, you know, then they're with Voldemort and then he died. And all of that is not, it's not shot like, oh my God, this is a oneer. No, it's not. But it's like still so engaging. right um so yeah i'm glad yeah i think a lot of it's emphasized on that because it's by no means
Starting point is 00:14:54 directed bad no god no poorly not at all not at all it's great and a movie that questions like what are your strengths i feel like okay if we compare strengths one is more at a 10 and one and the other was like kind of an eight or nine you know yeah so it's very minimal but um i i think the last half of this movie does go because it's kind of like teetering in between being really dark and a little bit lighter for sure lighter than the last one but i think the last half it goes it goes pretty dark in a way that i thought was really engaging the twist of crouch uh was really well done because even though i was able to piece it together like 20 minutes before it happened um it there's still other clues that you never would have suspected no like i love how we it must have been
Starting point is 00:15:41 with the weird hair that had it had in there and we both noticed it like your hair looks kind of weird huh? That was a giveaway to the audience We noted it but we had no idea
Starting point is 00:15:54 where it was led and then it just had us go that had me at least going I guess if we just read way too much into it because it must have just been a choice for that night and I think it actually
Starting point is 00:16:04 was a clue to let you know because it does feel a tad out of character I suppose but I mean, the light is gleaming off of it. I'm looking at the movie going hair and makeup and the director is going to read that in video village and go, what in the actual F if it wasn't intentional? So anytime I see something like that, I'm like, I wrote it off for a second, but I'm like, that's intentional. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:29 But oh man, but the guy plays Mad Eye Moody, Brendan Gleason. He's great. What an amazing addition to this cast. I think he brings so much personality and presence and for the dark arts. mentor leader type of character because while i'm looking forward to seeing what he does in the next one because he did such a great job he did i don't know what i'm trying to say is the movie didn't do any of the cliche stuff of like what's wrong with you moody you're acting different you don't remember this moody like even though he wasn't actually the real mad-eye moody right he still crafted
Starting point is 00:17:04 a character that felt at least like the history was there and everything so like oh what does he do differently when it's the real mad-eye moody when he's already so believable here yeah you know that'll be fun to see yeah like cool because he's such he's such a good actor if you guys saw chernoble he's the lead in that oh that's why he killed crouch what do you mean like why crouch junior killed his dad when he first confronts him in the woods and then he's like don't you remember the last guy who sent to the ministry and he said it was such like uh um like there was a pain in the way he said it. And then his dad was found dead moments later.
Starting point is 00:17:44 He killed his own dad. Yes. Yes. Sorry, I got confused when you were like, I'm like Moody. You're saying when Crouch was, yes. Yeah, in the woods when Crouch Sr. was found dead. Right. Oh, see, I like the way all that was handled.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Yeah. It really is cool. It's smart. Like I said this about the last movie, too. There are all these puzzle pieces in these Harry Potter movies that, obviously in a book right is like a big puzzle but this move all of these movies even though they've different directors they do a really good job of kind of giving us pieces of the story and and allowing us to place it together without a lot of exposition it's just very good storytelling and really good
Starting point is 00:18:24 writing which is obviously the the books I'm sure are very well written but um a really good film you know when you come out of it and you're talking about it and you're like oh be Because when he was there and he was playing, he was moody, he said that, like, that is what's, that's what's really, really fun about this story and these books. And like, I think that what this and this franchise has a really good job of is gives the audience information and allows you to, like, work through it without overfeeding you stuff, right?
Starting point is 00:19:04 It allows the audience to feel like smart. And there's not a lot of movies that do that. There's some that it's just too much exposition where you're like, yeah, we've got it, man. And this franchise never does that. And I'm sure it's due to the books. But I think that's what makes it so much fun is that we know we're probably not going to get the answers in these movies very easily. Some of them we've called out, like, fine. But there's other ones that.
Starting point is 00:19:34 you're like wait it takes a second we're going to get there and that's really fun yeah yeah this whole movie was a blast i love to with the games how um exceptionally different each each level was allowing us to introduce some the this world's versions of different of a different take on the i mean the dragons are pretty much a dragon but the mermaids in particular something very different and those abilities and getting to go under water in the world like the environments but what was what was neat is that they have this goblet of fire set up and again it's lost credit to the books but I thought this movie sells the tension really well is that it's the every when you hear this introduction okay the games right something about
Starting point is 00:20:19 the try was or winning the tri cup and like you want to win it and part of me was here going okay well why would I care to win this like like what me is an audience member like why does it matter because I was under the impression Harry Potter was going to be in it right and then he wasn't picked and I was like oh that's weird and then when he was picked I was like oh this is about him just surviving yeah we're screwed yeah this is not about him trying to win it because if he gets the trophy hooray um he gets to prove himself as a worthy wizard sure yeah but it wasn't really it was just about surviving so it gives a different element of stakes I agree because we're not looking at the win we're literally looking at
Starting point is 00:20:56 please don't just make it out alive yeah just make it out of life you don't really care for him to come in first place you just you could care less there's no focus on be first place right you know and it's just about surviving the game yeah and and I think that the games are really engaging and we were on our toes when the dragon came in with a dragon
Starting point is 00:21:14 first in that first game is like blowing fire and he's it's like almost there and he's just running around these rocks I mean we were both like what the I mean I was like how are we going to do this yeah the action's incredible in it all right
Starting point is 00:21:30 DC fans, time to prove you're a real DC fan. Because there's an official licensed DC strategy game on the way and it looks insane. It's called DC Dark Legion and it throws you into an all-new story where you lead the fight against the Batman who laughs and his twisted army of Dark Knights, dark corrupted versions of the Justice League, inspired by Dark Knights Metal. So what kind of game is this? DC Dark Legion is a strategy game where you build your own team of over 200 DC heroes and villains. So that of course includes characters like Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern, the Joker, Harley Quinn, and of course, the Batman.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Who is voiced by Roger Smith, same actor from Batman Arkham Origins. You'll be managing your own Batcave. Upgrading of a new tech. And strategically choosing how to power up your squad. Every move matters and the stakes are huge. Your strategy determines the fate of the DC universe. Now, I actually got a chance to play it early, and you know what? It's pretty freaking cool.
Starting point is 00:22:22 It's got that strategy and RPG feel where you really have to think about your moves. Not just mash buttons like I normally do. Plus, seeing all these DC characters interact in this kind of setting, that alone makes it worth checking out. And here's the best part. The game is open for pre-registration right now. Sign up early. You'll get a free mythical hero.
Starting point is 00:22:38 A ton of other rewards when the game officially launches on March 14th. DC Dark Legion is coming to iOS, Android, and PC. So if you want to jump into the story from day one, now is the time to sign up. Click the link in the description box for that. I'll definitely be playing more when it's fully out. Will you? Yeah. I love the Hermione performance, Ron.
Starting point is 00:22:59 everyone was great and the the Voldemort reveal how'd you feel about Voldemort? I mean, what do you mean? Like the actor? I love him. I think he plays a great Voldemort. Very believable. I think that's really really good casting because you need someone and I think, I don't know if Ralph has a theater background but you need someone who's like the second
Starting point is 00:23:23 they're on screen. They have a very commanding presence and he does because Voldemort is, you are never supposed to talk about a character and then never see him, especially like an improv or really in a script, right? Yeah. And he has been built up, so he better be so like,
Starting point is 00:23:44 and believable when we see him. Otherwise, this movie would have tanked, I think. People would have been P-Oed about like, that's going to be, But I'm like, if they clapped back at him, I don't know why they would. He did a fantastic job. He's definitely a villain and he plays it absolutely grounded and believable.
Starting point is 00:24:09 I believed it all. That's exactly. The Voldemort knows makeup like that? Yeah, I'm like, I would have been, that's what I'm like, is he like claustrophobic? Like, that's wackadoo. So I looked it up as you were talking because what you said, we were pointing out of the thing I was that I thought of too and but then so I looked it up I was like I don't know if he played him in the first one when it was like that weird thing in the back of the guy's head oh right and he didn't
Starting point is 00:24:37 refines didn't play him then oh yeah no we would have recognized him right yeah so this is his debut and and that's that was such a that's exactly what I was thinking when I want of this guy's been being built up for several movies yeah he better be he better be like there there he has to be a The Voldemort, he has to surpass what you'd expect. Like, be what you expect, but be more than what you'd expect. Yep. And he brings that. And he's got to be scary.
Starting point is 00:25:07 And if he's going to be having fun, it can't be too much fun or it can be cheesy and corny. You know, like there's a very specific level you have to hit. And I don't even know what level that is, but it's one of those things you can just sort of feel when it's there. And you're like, oh, he's doing it. He's really, he sells it day one of his debut. Like, this really is. Voldemort here and not how I expected.
Starting point is 00:25:29 I guess his physical form is taken on that way because of a variety of factors. I'm sure that's not what Tom Riddle evolves into looking like. Right. Yeah. I was like, is this what you've turned into me? Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:25:42 So he must be, this just must be his new physical form and not them being like reanimated or something. Yeah, right, right. Okay. Which I really love because like in any villain when you're acting it,
Starting point is 00:25:56 Like, you kind of have to have the level of, like, you kind of have to be boiling underneath the whole time. And I feel like that's what he delivered. Yeah. Like, you just, you have to make the audience feel like you could blow at any point. Like, you're just, you're unstable. And he did a good job of that. How do you feel about, before we're going on some trivia here, how do you feel about Dumbledore? Well, we've talked about it.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Since he first came back, it is a change in demeanor of, like, the other Dumbledore was had this warmth that, like, he could still be serious. But he was, like, on our side. He was, like, felt more of our friend. This one, I like him. He's a good actor. When he came at Harry in this movie, I literally went, whoa. Like my body moved back and I like that. But I do miss a little bit from the previous actor's warmth in that,
Starting point is 00:27:02 in his performance. I miss that. But the guy's still good. This Dumbledore's a little more stern, right? Yeah, absolutely. Or the other Dumbledore just seemed like like omnipresent. Yeah. Like I'm your grandfather who's been around for hundreds of years.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Totally. You know, yeah. Like, and when he, when you get in trouble by him, It's not because he scares you It's because you're like Damn, he's disappointed in me And you don't want him to be You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:27:30 Yeah, I mean, it's like it's weird Like they're very different Dumbledors Which is a really cool thing to do When you're gonna get a different actor Because you can't just do You want to have your own Yeah, yeah Or it looks like
Starting point is 00:27:44 The original Dumbledore feels like Oh, this guy feels like an ancient wizard Who's been around for like centuries Agreed And then this Dumbledore doesn't really have He still has, like, a bit of a grit to him, you know, like, yeah, intensity to him that feels, I guess, more human, a human wizard where the other one just felt wizard wizard, you know.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I actually get what you mean by that, which is a good thing. It can make it feel, you know, more grounded. He's more the headmaster of the school who also happens to be a wizard. Yeah. Which, yeah, it's cool. Yeah, it's cool. I like him. Let's wrap to some facts here.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Let's do it. Okay, so during the course of filming, Daniel Radcliffe matured a lot physically. Mike Newell, the director said, I've just been working on a scene which we shot in our first week. And Dan still looks like the little kid that he was in Sorcerer Stone. Now 11 months later, he doesn't look like that at all. Oh, wow. That's insane.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Which one? This one. Mike Newell. Mike Newell only received $1 million to direct, whereas Chris Columbus, the director, of the first one received $10 million plus a percentage of the gross. Wow. What a disparagingly big difference in the day. You got $10 million and gross and this guy only got a million for the fourth installment.
Starting point is 00:29:07 That's insane, right? Wow. I mean, Chris Columbus is an exception or established director. He had done so much. He deserves that rate. It's like when you work your whole life and you've been really good at something. You're like, I'm not doing it for that. I am me now.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Give me what I'm worth. And he's also setting up the franchise. Yeah. And Mike Newell, this is not only a million dollars in his pocket is also a credit that goes, you directed a Harry Potter. You're going to have a lot of work now. Yeah. Henry Cavill audition for the role of Cedric Diggery. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:29:45 That's cool. Alfonso Corone was offered a direct again, but to Klein because he was still working on postper. production of prisoner boxing man damn okay yeah see we felt this that's why it was pushed in there yeah director Mike Newell decided against the studio's original idea of adapting
Starting point is 00:30:02 the extremely long book and a two separate movies to release several months apart figure that he could cut enough of the bulky of the books bulky subplots to make a workable movie Alfonso Caron convinced him Alfonso Caron Oh convinced him to just do one
Starting point is 00:30:18 because I'm sure Alfonso Caron maybe had a similar feature when looking at his books are long so I'm sure he had a similar feeling but it doesn't feel like that with the movie like a prisoner of askeband it feels like it's long but tight you know yeah this had one of the largest underwater sets the actual largest one was from the abyss but that's crazy 132,000 gallons of water holy shit yeah wild um Katie leong had an intended to audition for cho chang her father told her where the auditions to be in She decided to go before a shopping trip.
Starting point is 00:30:53 She was chosen for more than 4,000 girls. Oh, my God. Wow. Wow. It took two days to film Ray Fines' role as Voldemort. That's it. Damn, that's pretty impressive. That's it.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Only one location. In and out. Oh, wow. Rosamund Pike was a choice. For Rita Skeeter. Oh, okay. Got it. Mike Newell's the first English director.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Huh. Okay. Oh, no wonder there's difference in music He passed on it Oh, no way Oh wow That's what I was saying Even the end doesn't have it
Starting point is 00:31:32 John Williams passed on this Because he was working on a different film That's why Uh Let's see here You're skim interesting ones right Bub of This is good content
Starting point is 00:31:51 So fast This is good content M. Night Shammal I was considered To direct but turned it down I'm glad he didn't do it First Harry Potter film To Our Gross's predecessor Oh were they on a decline?
Starting point is 00:32:05 I don't know That's why they were like We can only pay you $1 million It's not $10 million plus this Oh this is the first Harry Potter To be raged PG-13 Versus the other ones were only PG. I mean, they had some sexuality.
Starting point is 00:32:18 It's true. I think that really will up your rating. That upped it to 13, huh? It was only released. No, that's boring. Ralph Fiends, Brendan Gleason, and Clemency Posey would all start together in Bruges. That's fun. David Tennant, your favorite guy, and Shirley Henderson, we're on an episode of Doctor Who where Tenet was the doctor.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Oh, no way. She was in Money Myrtle? Okay, what are the spoiler ones? But are they going to... Okay. Oh, Alan Rickman wears black contact lenses. Oh my God. One of the first takes, Hermione,
Starting point is 00:32:55 in the Cinderella moment and the pink dress, she tripped and fell down the stairs. Aw. Oh, my God. At least one full-scale dragon was constructed on set, which could even blow real fire.
Starting point is 00:33:11 The dragon was created partially from the back. Basilisk puppet scene in Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets. That's wild. Holy shit. Dude, the underwater scenes like Daniel Radcliffe, he locked around 41 hours and 38 minutes of filming underwater. Isn't that crazy? Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Yeah. At one point during training, he inadvertently signaled that he was drowning, sending the crew to a huge panic to bring off to the surface. Oh, in the book, the Bobonts is a... All Girls Academy. me. The eyes give me the impression that both months all girls kind of wears drums, it's all boy ones. In the book, however, both schools are co-ed. Oh, yeah. Because I was wondering that.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I was like, why are we the only magic school that's co-ed? I meant to say that, but I didn't. Oh, where he finds it's not wearing any makeup to cover his notes. The editors digitally removed it. Oh. That makes sense. I'm watching it. Like, how do you do that? Nice. Because I'm like, how did he breathe? Yeah, okay. Got it.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Oh, because he said it would be better for the actors thought that the expression in his eyes would provide a better idea of Lord Voldemort's insanity and malignity. Oh my God. Hold on. Robert Pattinson has stated that he would much rather play Cedric Diggery again, despite the character being killed off in this movie, then play Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga, the role in which he's best known. Are you insane? Is he, wow, that's, that's blasphemy. I mean, people with the Twilight, and I'm saying, he did a fantastic job and I do agree that being in Harry Potter I would love it but I'm saying if you're a Twilight fan you're like what that's wild I do wish if oh that's one of my things with the movie too is as much as they're they truncated stuff I do wish that we got to know Cedigarie a lot better me too me too because his death would have especially it would have hit us would have hit us better and and like I get pretty emotional when the dad saw him because I'm sorry to the dad and the primal removal of
Starting point is 00:35:12 motion of father and son happening in terms of the character cedric diggery i'm like we don't know we don't really get to know him like at all he has like a few lines in this movie and his death is so important it's such an impact like to become the revelation for this school then to be like hey we have to unite no more competition because voldermort's here and cedigory is the start the symbol of that i really do think like they should have given him more i'm betting the books you know him better because here I'm like, we don't know him at all. At all. Which is probably why they were like, let's make a two movies.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Because imagine if he died at the end of the second one, people would be crying. Oh, yeah. No, a thousand percent. Yeah. For sure. The kids had around. Well, okay. There's just a billion facts here.
Starting point is 00:35:59 So I'm just got to like skim to make sure we're like getting ones that sound fun or compelling to talk about. No Mrs. Weasley here in this one. No Dudley's either. Oh, yeah. Ron had is that a strange brother named Percy in the books? Oh, really? Huh. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:36:22 That's weird. Okay. The books in Dumbledore's library are actually phone directories in disguise, which I think is funny. Oh, wow, except for two ear infections, Daniel Reckliff. Oh, I'm doing the underwater filming. Yeah, that sucks. If you're underwater that much, yeah, that would suck. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Five characters had big parts in the book. They were completely written out of this movie. The characters were Ludo Bagman. Winky, the former Crouch House Elf. Dobby, the House Elf. Dobby, Bertha Jorkens. A woman who was tortured by Voldemort. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:37:08 and some other Bellet Strick, somebody. First movie not to the Dersley's. Wow. Okay, because they're making the Harry Potter show right now, HBO. You know about this?
Starting point is 00:37:21 What? Yeah, they're making a show. Ah! I just didn't come out. I don't know. Next year, two years from now. We're going to watch the show. They're rebooting, like, all of Harry Potter
Starting point is 00:37:34 via through the show. So they're going to start from the first book. And now to learn that there's, like five characters missing from gobble to fire that are major i'm like oh that's what the show can do who's going to play harry in the show do we know we don't know it's under wraps huh i hope it's timothy shallomay because they're already shooting it i hope it's fin wolfhard i hope it's i hope it's um young hercules from the 90s early 2000s okay you're done now listen oh my god they they have to be in pre-production though already shooting it.
Starting point is 00:38:09 And they've kept it under wraps. I don't know if they're already shooting it right now. Oh, they're casting right now. Oh, they're casting. That's why we don't know. All right, fine. Wow, I'm excited. I can touch you now as Ray Fine's favorite line from all of the movies. Okay. Only Harry Potter movie did not contain Hermione casting a spell. Oh, yeah. She didn't do much.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Oh, the newspaper headline Harry Potter and the Twizzard tournament was considered a a title of the fourth book I wouldn't I don't like that as a title did you say twizzard didn't I say trit oh try wizard my god from the twizzards
Starting point is 00:38:47 I don't think I would like the twizzard tournament I skipped the eye and just combined I don't know what I was doing the R and the I just I said wizard
Starting point is 00:38:58 oh yeah I said twizzards like a twizzler oh they wrote out Bobby, the elf, but they gave a slightly larger role to Neville instead. Okay. I like that. Neville's been around for a minute. He needed a little more screen time. This was his best Neville, for sure. I absolutely agree. And he looks a lot older. And again, we are thrown into, like, they are very believable as teenagers. And so is Neville. Like, he looks like a teenager now. Oh, wow. The name's Thomas and Mary of Oldenmore's parents,
Starting point is 00:39:35 Tom Riddle. Their names are. not mention in the book, but J.K. Rowland still did come up with it. Oh. Yeah. And apparently they were a transgender couple. Ding, ding, ding. You go so fast. Like, you're not reading that. You think we're going to read paragraph? You think we're going to read a novel? No, I don't even know why we're still doing it. Because there's some interesting ones here, Tara. Oh, and you can read them. Look, wait, I just saw something about one of my favorite bands. Franz Fernham was the first choice of performance the weird sisters but they declined
Starting point is 00:40:10 Oh the mess of been the band at the At the thingy The fuck the the the yule ball Okay I just want to see if there's anything about that hair That we picked up on my god You'd have to type like hair Don't worry There's only eight choices here

Starting point is 00:40:45 and goblet of fire Clue? Yes, of course it was. What was with the hair and goblet? Yeah, all their hair. I do think their hair looked weird. Yeah, they all had long hair. Harry's hair looked very strange at times.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Yeah. Maybe we're the only ones who noticed it. I think it was true, though. All right, guys, we're just trying to find the goblet of fire. Thank you so much for being here. All right. We're going to check out of here now. Keep a lookout because the next one is Order of Phoenix.
