History Film / HarryPotterAndTheGobletofFire

''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'' is the fourth film in the ''Film/HarryPotter'' series, directed by Creator/MikeNewell and released in 2005. Newell was chosen to direct after Creator/AlfonsoCuaron, who directed ''Prisoner'', announced that he would only be able to direct one installment in the series out of personal preference and scheduling conflicts.

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 apply as a candidate.

** One of the death eaters observing the climactic duel gives an enthusiastic little clap when Harry "bows" to Voldemort.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Ron berates Hermione for going to the Yule Ball with Krum, calling it "fraternizing with the enemy," since Krum is from Durmstrang, a rival school (and is one of Harry's competitors in the Triwizard Tournament). This coming from the man who tried asking out Fleur Delacour, whom is from Beauxbatons, another rival school (and is another of Harry's competitors in the Triwizard Tournament).

** Harry and Ron. Creator/DanielRadcliffe stated in an interview that he had to dance poorly just to fit his character--he's a master at it.

* LittleNo: Hagrid, just after Harry's name has come out of the Goblet of Fire.

* MoodWhiplash: The scene where Moody demonstrates the Imperius Curse on the whip scorpion starts out comedic before it takes a turn for the serious when Moody almost tries to make the poor little thing ''drown herself''. Ouch.
* MythologyGag: Right before Harry stumbles across Crouch's body in the forest, the others can be heard a short distance away singing the Hogwarts school song--a case of EarlyInstalmentWeirdness from the books as it is sung at Harry's first opening feast in ''Philosopher's Stone'' and then never again.

** The real Mad-Eye Moody. After being discovered in the trunk, Dumbledore says he'll get him out in a minute, but in the final cut of the film, he never appears after this. It's most likely that he was supposed to appear at Cedric's funeral in the final cut of the film, as in the book.

* WinBackTheCrowd: In-universe, sort of. Harry gets decidedly unpopular when his name gets picked for the Tri-Wizard Tournament as many people think he's being a GloryHound. A downplayed example, as most Gryffindors are still on his side and cheer for him come the dragon battle.

* AdaptationalJobChange: Frank Bryce is erroneously called a "caretaker", rather than a gardener.
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: In the book, Moody uses three spiders to demonstrate the Unforgivable Curses. In the film, he uses a single tailless whip scorpion.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Albus Dumbledore when he asks Harry if he put his name in the Goblet of Fire. The book actually specified that he asked the question ''calmly''. Film Dumbledore not only charges at him yelling but even manhandles him. One of the most infamous examples of this trope ever and the subject of numerous memes and parodies.

* BalefulPolymorph: Draco is turned into a ferret by Moody when he tries to curse Harry, and promptly humiliated in front of everybody until [=McGonagall=] intervenes. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Draco immediately bails before Moody pulls another trick]].

* SeldomSeenSpecies: The arachnid that Mad-Eye Moody uses the Unforgivable Curses on during class is a tailless whip scorpion.

* DarkerAndEdgier: This trope is notable to this specific film in particular, as it was the first in the series to get bumped to a 12 rating in the U.K.(As well as a PG-13 rating in the U.S).

''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'' is the fourth film in the ''Film/HarryPotter'' series, directed by Creator/MikeNewell and released in 2005.

The film marked the big screen debut of Creator/RobertPattinson (Cedric Diggory), who a few years later shot to stardom in the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' series.

It's also notable for being the least faithful to the book, along with its successor, ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix''.

* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Ron Weasley gets this when Professor [=McGonnagal=] chooses him to help demonstrate the waltz.

* AdaptationDistillation: The three trials that Harry saw in the pensive in the book are reduced to one. Bagman's trial is omitted due to the character being AdaptedOut, and Karkaroff and Crouch Jr's trials are combined into one by having Karkaroff turn in Crouch Jr, which he doesn't in the book. The other Death Eaters on trial with Crouch Jr. are also adapted out.

** The film portrays Barty Crouch, Sr. as having a nice, but stiff and professional, persona. This is different from the book where he is portrayed as harsh and strict, as well as a stickler for rules and regulations. Also, his dirty laundry regarding his son and Bertha Jorkins has been cut.

** The entire role of Ludo Bagman was removed. As a result, every scene throughout the film which involved him is removed from the film. This means that Fred and George's bet is not included.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Albus Dumbledore, of all characters. In the book, he ''calmly'' asks Harry if he put his name in the Goblet of Fire in order to clarify whether Harry's entry was a trap set by someone or just him breaking the rules. Here, in a very out-of-character moment, angrily shouts Harry's name, lashes out at him, pinning him against the wall in a threatening manner whilst yelling in his face. In other words, automatically accusing Harry of breaking the rules and treating him like some troublemaker.

* LittleNo: Hagrid, just after Harry's name has come out of the Goblet of Fire.

* OhCrap: Just ''listen'' to [[spoiler:the scream that Fleur gives]] when she [[spoiler: realises Cedric's dead and try ''not'' to think of how horrified she must actually ''be!'']]

* ''Film/{{Hop}}'': The three Pink Berets from are Fluffy, Patch, and Bit. Fluffy and Patch stick the landing after using the secret bunny tunnels to arrive in Los Angeles, while Bit pratfalls. Later, Fluffy and Patch enter the mansion where E.B. is staying via an AirVentPassageway, immediately ready for melee combat. Bit once again tumbles to the floor, and must right herself.

---> '''[=McGonagall=]''': "I will not have you, in one night, besmirching [Gryffindor's] name by behaving like a babbling, bumbling band of baboons!"\\

* AdaptationalHeroism: Barty Crouch, Sr. comes off a lot better than in the book due to a lot of his dirty laundry([[spoiler: viciously disowning Barty Crouch, Jr. in a public show trial, later smuggling him out of Azkaban at the request of his dying wife, subjecting him to a decade of house arrest under the Imperius Curse, and subjecting Bertha Jorkins to a powerful Memory Charm when she discovered the truth in addition to railroading Sirius to Azkaban without a trial.]]) being cut.

** Barty Crouch Jr does not have straw-coloured hair in the film, but is portrayed with Creator/DavidTennant's natural dark hair colour.

In other words, automatically accusing Harry of breaking the rules and treating him like some troublemaker.

** Inverted. The book states that Harry is up to his neck in the water, completely covered by foam. In the film he's only up to his waist, allowing for some {{Fanservice}}.
** PlayedStraight during the graveyard scene: in the book, after [[spoiler:Voldemort regains his body,]] he's nude and has to ask for his robes, but in the film, robes coalesce around him as his body reforms for censorship reasons.

** Amos Diggory. In the book, he's rather rude, brash and boastful about Cedric's accomplishments. In the film, he's quieter and far more polite. This was likely done because whilst Cedric had been established in the third book, he wasn't in [[Film/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban the film adaptation]], and this creates sympathy towards Amos as a character at the film's conclusion.

** A minor one for Draco and his Slytherin crew. In the book they talk disrespectfully throughout [[spoiler:Dumbledore's eulogy for Cedric]]. In the film[[note]] sitting behind Viktor Krum and the Durmstrangs[[/note]], they're just as silent and solemn as everyone else.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The movie excised a lot of Barty Crouch Jr.'s more sympathetic traits, particularly his love for his mother and the scorn and neglect he received from his father, which partially explained why he looked up to Voldemort as a mentor figure. In the film he joins the Death Eaters just ForTheEvulz.

** Barty Crouch Sr. is less a stern minister follower than his book counterpart, and appears to be a bit more nervous and stuttering.
** Amos Diggory is not a pompous braggart and is very kind to others, especially Harry. [[spoiler:This makes his reaction to Cedric's death even more heartbreaking. His personality was likely changed for exactly that reason.]]

** Bertha Jorkins' role in the film is taken out entirely, which effectively removes much of the backstory in the main plot of the story.
** The Dursleys are completely omitted and there is no reference to them at any point in the film. Therefore, the incident where Fred and George slipped a ton-tongue toffee to Dudley, and the argument they get into with their parents was omitted also.
** Bill, Charlie and Percy Weasley are omitted. This means the first time Harry sees Bill is when he formally introduces himself during ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallowsPart1''.

** The Veela mascots are omitted from the film entirely, while Leprechauns as mascots was minimised heavily. Instead, the Irish National Quidditch team creates a glittering firework of a leprechaun, which is obliterated by the Bulgarian National Quidditch team flying through it.

** Ginny has a bit more screen time than she does in the book, since she's around for more of the three main character's conversations. Sadly, this would be the most she would get in regards to this trope for a while.

* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Harry ducks behind a gravestone as Voldemort goes into his EvilGloating phase. Realizing there was probably no way to escape, Harry visibly steels his jaw and comes out to face him, "Fine, have it your way." [[spoiler:It is precisely this courage that calls out the prior souls from the Voldemort's wand, allowing Harry to escape.]]

** Harry right after [[spoiler:Pettigrew launches a Killing Curse at Cedric]] and right before [[spoiler:Cedric gets hit with it]].
** Amos Diggory gets a couple of very grief-stricken ones when he is [[spoiler:kneeling over his dead son's body]].

** Padma Patil gains any traits that Lavender Brown had in the book, as in the books she's in Ravenclaw and isn't seen until the Yule Ball. In the film she is in Gryffindor and is shown walking around with Parvati in Lavender's place. The two are even seen sitting together in Divination in the following film!

* DeadHatShot: The first sign of [[spoiler:Mr. Crouch's corpse]] is Harry finding his hat lying on the ground before nearly tripping over his feet.

** Moody telling Karkaroff that he used to think "as dark wizards do." [[spoiler:Guess who turns out to be a dark wizard masquerading as Moody?]]
** Myrtle mentions seeing Polyjuice potion when she comes upon Harry in the prefects' bath, and Snape later accuses Harry of stealing the ingredients of Polyjuice potion from his office. None of our heroes make use of Polyjuice potion in ''this'' movie--but [[spoiler:Barty Crouch Jr.]] is.

* ''Film/{{Hop}}'': The three Pink Berets from are Fluffy, Patch and Bit. Fluffy and Patch stick the landing after using the secret bunny tunnels to arrive in Los Angeles, while Bit pratfalls. Later, Fluffy and Patch enter the mansion where E.B. is staying via an AirVentPassageway, immediately ready for melee combat. Bit once again tumbles to the floor, and must right herself.
* HellIsThatNoise: The golden egg makes a [[SarcasmMode very lovely]] '''SCREEEEEEE''' noise when opened. [[spoiler:When opened underwater, however...]]

* IncendiaryExponent: When Wormtail enacts the ritual to [[spoiler:resurrect Voldemort]], every ingredient he puts into the potion sets itself on fire when added. When the last ingredient is added, the entire cauldron goes up in flames, which soon coalesce around [[spoiler:Voldemort]] to form his robes.
* InelegantBlubbering: Understandably by Harry and Amos Diggory when [[spoiler:Harry brings Cedric's dead body back from the graveyard]].
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: After [[spoiler:Barty Crouch Jr]]’s Polyjuice Potion starts to wear off and he can’t find any more, he decides to blow his cover by mentioning the graveyard Harry was sent to before Harry does.

* KarmaHoudini: Zig-zagged with Rita Skeeter. She publishes several false accounts of Harry and his friends throughout the tournament to feed the needs of her tabloid followers. Unlike in the book, she is not seen again after the first challenge has been completed but still gets her latest rag published nonetheless. Not helping is the fact that in the book, it is ''explicitly stated'' that she was barred from the competition by Dumbledore, and that [[spoiler:Hermione blackmailed her into stopping her stories]], neither of which happens in the film. However, the film also cuts out many of her more malicious moments, and her gossipy, overblown articles are shown in a less destructive light. As well, the film removes the subplot of [[spoiler:her being an illegal animagus who uses her animal form to spy on people]]. Overall, while still obnoxious and unpleasant, she isn't as much of a bully as she is in the book.

* LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand: There's a diegetic example with a real brass band playing a celebratory tune for the winner of the Triwizard Cup... which falters out when they notice [[spoiler:Harry screaming and crying over Cedric's body.]]

* MamaBear[=/=]PapaWolf: [[spoiler:Among the dead that subdue Voldemort are Harry's parents. Not even death can keep Lily and James from protecting Harry.]]

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The Death Eaters are symbolized as Klansmen--check out the KKK-inspired headgear, torches and "burning signal".

* OhCrap: Just ''listen'' to [[spoiler:the scream that Fleur gives]] when she [[spoiler:realises Cedric's dead and try ''not'' to think of how horrified she must actually ''be!'']]

* SoundtrackDissonance: When Harry returns with Cedric, happy music plays and cheers sound through the room. [[spoiler:Then they realize Harry is sobbing and Cedric isn't moving.]]
* SpottingTheThread: Barty Crouch Sr. recognizes [[spoiler:Barty Jr.]] disguised as [[spoiler:Moody]] when [[spoiler:he licks his lips]] in the same manner that he is shown doing during the PensieveFlashback.

* WhamLine: At the denouement, Harry and Moody have a conversation about [[spoiler:Cedric]]'s fate and [[spoiler:Voldemort's return]] when Moody says something that gives Harry pause:

** Specifically applies to the movie version. When walking off by himself in the Forbidden Forest, Harry finds [[spoiler:Barty Crouch Sr.'s theoretically dead body]], and the camera cuts to Harry going to see Dumbledore. What happened to [[spoiler:Crouch]] is never brought up again and never explained in the movie (though it is in the book).

* WinBackTheCrowd: In-universe, sort of. Harry gets decidedly unpopular when his name gets picked for the Tri-Wizard Tournament as many people think he's being a GloryHound. A downplayed example, as most Gryffindors are still on his side and cheer for him for him come the dragon battle.
* YouAreNotAlone: Though it isn't outright said in the book, in the film Dumbledore says this to Harry a couple days after he returns from the graveyard.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Barty Crouch Sr. comes off a lot better than in the book, due to a lot of his dirty laundry ([[spoiler:viciously disowning Barty Crouch Jr in a public show trial, later smuggling him out of Azkaban at the request of his dying wife, subjecting him to a decade of house arrest under the Imperius Curse, and subjecting Bertha Jorkins to a powerful Memory Charm when she discovered the truth]]) being cut.

* DemotedToExtra: If they weren't already AdaptedOut, chances are a character suffered this in the film. Likewise, while Rita Skeeter does appear, her subplot is deleted. See KarmaHoudini.

** Three during the scene were Snape repeatedly catches Harry and Ron speaking to each other in his class:

** Harry has one after he and Cedric arrive at the graveyard, when he realises whose graveyard they're at. He has an even bigger one when he senses voldemort's presence. In fact, half of Harry's expression during the whole scene seems to be this.
