Notes:
(1) '"Madame Maxime!� said Fleur at once ... "Zey are saying zat zis little boy is to compete also!" Somewhere under Harry’s numb disbelief he felt a ripple of anger. Little boy?'
- Well, Harry is somewhat shorter than average.
(2) "Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?� [Dumbledore] asked calmly."
- Yes, "calmly." See gif.

Notes:
(1) For someone who doesn't think much of muggles, Fudge sure loves to wear their clothes.
(2) "Sirius Black!" [Mrs. Weasley] shrieked, pointing at him.
"Mum, shut up!" Ron yelled. "It’s okay!"'
- Often a good "shut up" is the quickest remedy for hysteria.
(3) Dumbledore forces Sirius and Snape to shake hands. Ever the teacher, ever the students.

Notes:
(1) Fawkes uses his tears to speed up Harry's wounds healing. That's handy... sort of like wizard Polysporin.
(2) Now that Fleur likes Ron and pays him attention, I guess she's not hot no more. Not surprising. (see gif)
- Alternatively, once kissed, perhaps her veela powers wore off.
- Alternatively, perhaps Ron's shifted his attention elsewhere.

Notes:
(1) Harry's first clue should have been that Crouch always called Voldemort "The Dark Lord." All upright wizards use "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." The boldest just say Voldemort.
(2) Wonder if all the lip licking meant David Tennant needed ChapStick on standby?
(3) Karkaroff fled? Who's going to sail the ship back to Durmstrang? Magic, most likely.

Notes:
(1) Not the most impressive group of Death Eaters here. A bunch of no-names, Buckbeak's would-be executioner and some Slytherin dads.
(2) Wormtail speaks rat. Apparently being animagus gives you the ability to speak to animals. I guess McGonagall speaks cat.
(3) Voldemort gives a traditional villain tell-all monologue. A tad cliché if you ask me.

Notes:
(1) '"Stop being noble," said Harry irritably. "Just take it, then we can get out of here."'
- Yeah, Cedric, stop being noble! Wait... no! Be noble! Take a dive!
(2) First student death, and the series is never the same again.
(3) Baby Voldemort is no Baby Yoda.
(4) Color-changing tattoos would be a goldmine!
(5) "Lord Voldemort had risen again."

Notes:
(1) Harry: "Mrs. Weasley, you didn’t believe that rubbish Rita Skeeter wrote in Witch Weekly, did you? Because Hermione’s not my girlfriend."
Molly: "Oh! ... No � of course I didn’t!"
Narrator: "But she became considerably warmer toward Hermione after that."
(2) In North America we say "uh" not "er." The sphinx's password's "spiduh" to us.

Notes:
(1) Continuity error. This is set in 1994, the Macarena (see gif) wasn't a thing until 1996.
- The male cheerleader on the right's creeping me out.
(2) "Fleur ... was eyeing Bill with great interest over her mother’s shoulder. Harry could tell she had no objection whatsoever to long hair or earrings with fangs on them."
- Fleur loves ze bad boys.

Glitchreads:
(1) Somehow, my recent review for "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" switched editions. Normally I'd switch it back, but it's the second review I've written for the book, and ŷ only lets you switch the edition of either your earlier or more popular review. So now my book covers no longer match! and my OCD is driving me nuts!

Notes:
(1) Krum's oddly puritan about Hermione possibly being with other guys. Who knew?
(2) Hagrid: “The less you lot ’ave ter do with these foreigners, the happier yeh’ll be. Yeh can� trust any of ’em.�
Harry: “You were getting on all right with Madame Maxime.�
Hagrid: “Don� you talk ter me abou� her! ... You can� trust any of ’em!�
- Xenophobic much?

Notes:
(1) 'Both Harry’s and Ron’s [Easter eggs] were the size of dragon eggs and full of homemade toffee. Hermione’s, however, was smaller than a chicken egg. Her face fell when she saw it.
"Your mum doesn’t read 'Witch Weekly,' by any chance, does she, Ron?" she asked quietly.
"Yeah ... Gets it for the recipes."
Hermione looked sadly at her tiny egg.'

Rochelle ✿ The second point has always annoyed me in the films; shaking Harry around like that just isn't something Dumbledore would ever do!


⠶⠶ Calmly


Reenah Dumbledore in the GOF film is something we'll never get over.

Exactly! As much as I think Michael Gambon was a capable enough replacement for Richard Harris, I think his Dumbledore was too brash, energetic and loud.

Yes, it's one of Dumbledore's most defining characteristics!

Virginia Ronan ♥ Herondale ♥ That "calmly" is probably the biggest difference between the books and the movies! *lol*


Jayson Virginia Ronan wrote: "That "calmly" is probably the biggest difference between the books and the movies! *lol*"

Yes, I agree with that! At the very least, it's one of the scenes that differs the most between the books and the movies. As well, I think it's emblematic of the change in Dumbledore's character, which doesn't resemble the books at all apart from strictly superficial things like being old and having a beard.

Maja Ingrid "DID YA PUT YA NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYAH?!?!?!?!?" Dumbledore asked calmly


Annie Yeah book Dumbledore wouldn’t manhandle a student nor would he get flustered. Concerned, yes, but not off balance


Jayson Maja Ingrid wrote: ""DID YA PUT YA NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYAH?!?!?!?!?" Dumbledore asked calmly"

He also sounds positively Irish in that scene. Which makes sense, since the actor's Irish. I'd just appreciate some accent consistency.


Jayson Annie wrote: "Yeah book Dumbledore wouldn’t manhandle a student nor would he get flustered. Concerned, yes, but not off balance"

Yes, it's an essential part of Dumbledore's character to be calm and unflustered. The only time he ever lost composure was during the sixth book when he was drinking the insanity broth. Frankly, being so calm all the time is what makes that scene so powerful, (view spoiler).
