Goblet of Fire: Notable Moment

I found it very interesting how different some things in the Goblet of Fire movie were compared to in the book. One of the main parts in the book that I think differed drastically from the movie was when Harry, Hermione, and the Weasley family went to the Quidditch World cup. In the book it was portrayed in way more detail of course because the movie could only put about two hours worth of the 734 page book. Because of this, I was able to get a way better picture of the famous tournament from the actual book. The magical atmosphere before the actual game was shown in greater depth along with the teams mascots performances. The movie also does not include the Weasleys getting to sit in the nice box seating therefore not introducing the character Winky.

I believe the difference between the movie and the book is something important to notice. Sometimes a sceene from the movie can poorly portray something from the book that you really enjoyed. My favorite part from the book, the Quidditch World Cup, was definitely not even close to my favorite scene in the movie. The books details of the magical flags for each team and the descriptions of the souvenirs Ron, Harry, and Hermione bought was better than the movies portrayal. I feel like some of the magical essence in the book was left out in the movie. The movies short scene of the Irish team’s mascot was nothing compared to the books description of the leprechauns and veela. “A hundred veela were now gliding out onto the field, and Harry’s question was answered for him. Veela were women…the most beautiful women Harry had ever seen…except that they weren’t-they couldn’t be-human.” I don’t even remember the movie showing the Bulgarian mascots. Without these important details from the book this scene in the movie was not nearly as cool to me.
