History Film / HarryPotterAndTheGobletofFire

The movie won a BAFTA for Best Production Design and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Art Direction. The DarkerAndEdgier tone (even more so than [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban its predecessor]]), the maturity of the characters, and more complexion in writing and performances were many reasons why critics loved this movie. It grossed over $102 million after a mere five days, going on to rack up just under $900 million, becoming the most commercially successful film of 2005. Hell, at the time it was one of the top ten highest-grossing movies '''''ever'''''. Damn.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Dumbledore, as depicted by Michael Gambon, has a highly theatrical, slightly effeminate flair. After ''Deathly Hallows'' [[IncrediblyLamePun came out]], [[WordOfGod Rowling]] said in interviews that [[WordOfGay she had always intended Dumbledore to be gay]]. She also said that she had told each actor secrets about the character that might be helpful in characterization.

Following the events of ''Film/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban'', Voldemort now has a loyal follower by his side and is making plans to become stronger and regain his body. Meanwhile, Hogwarts is hosting the Triwizard Tournament between three Wizarding schools in Europe, and Harry discovers that he has been selected to compete, even though he is below the age restriction and did not, as a matter of fact, actually apply as a candidate...

* WinBackTheCrowd: In-universe. Harry gets decidedly unpopular when his name gets picked for the Tri-Wizard Tournament -- but wins them over with the dragon battle.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Dumbledore, as depicted by Michael Gambon, has a highly theatrical, slightly effeminate flair. After ''Deathly Hallows'' [[IncrediblyLamePun came out]], [[WordOfGod Rowling]] said in interviews that [[WordOfGay she had always intended Dumbledore to be gay]]. She also said that she had told each actor secrets about the character that might be helpful in characterization. Presumably this was something about Dumbledore she had told Gambon. She also admitted in an interview after outing Dumbledore that the screenwriters for one of the films had handed her a script once where Dumbledore reminisced about some young witch he loved in his youth, and she handed back the script with the words "HE'S GAY!" pointing to the offending line. It was also suggested in-universe by Rita Skeeter's rather scathing interview book, which gave a cruel new twist on Harry's relationship with Dumbledore.

* ICantDance: Harry and Ron in ''Goblet''. Subverted with Neville, who actually rehearsed dance steps and ends up having a much better time at the ball than Harry and Ron.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Pettigrew taking off ''his whole hand'' with a pithy little blade about four inches long in ''Goblet of Fire''.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Dumbledore, as depicted by Michael Gambon, especially in ''Goblet of Fire'', has a highly theatrical, slightly effeminate flair. After ''Deathly Hallows'' [[IncrediblyLamePun came out]], [[WordOfGod Rowling]] said in interviews that [[WordOfGay she had always intended Dumbledore to be gay]].

* AnswerCut: In ''Goblet of Fire'':

* BeautifulAllAlong: Hermione appearing gorgeously dressed and with neat, beautifully arranged hair in ''Goblet of Fire'' has essentially none of the effect to the audience that it had in the books, since the filmmakers had already shown her prettily made-up in the previous film with no given explanation. Her own admission that cleaning up like that takes hours and doesn’t want to bother with it on a daily basis is also promptly ignored, so she looks consistently gorgeous throughout all the films.

* HotScoop: Rita Skeeter as played by Miranda Richardson in ''Goblet of Fire''. She also seems to be a bit of a MrsRobinson.

* MaleGaze: Briefly in ''The Goblet of Fire'', with a long tracking shot of the Beauxbaton girls' butts when they enter the Great Hall of Hogwarts (eliciting a "Bloody hell!" from Ron).
* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: The fourth film carries the disclaimer "No Dragons Were Harmed in the Making of this Movie."

* UnderwaterRuins: The arches at the bottom of the Black Lake in ''Goblet of Fire''.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Instead of a monster-filled maze, the third trial of the Triwizard Tournament in ''Goblet of Fire'' becomes this as both Harry and Cedric are tempted to perform actions neither would normally consider all for the sake of winning.

* WinBackTheCrowd: In-universe. Harry in ''Goblet of Fire'' gets decidedly unpopular when his name gets picked for the Tri-Wizard Tournament -- but wins them over with the dragon battle.
