The key premise is that Harry's name, though he was not eligible to compete, is called from the Goblet of Fire, which selects the schools' champions. Because of this condition of taking part without wanting to, the film works as a competition story between schools and at the same time as a mystery asking who put Harry in that position and why. The various dangers that strike during the tournament supply the spectacle of an adventure, while the Dark Mark at the start keeps reminding us of a threat growing outside the tournament. The way a tournament that began as an event for unity gradually darkens is the color of this installment.
The cast includes Ralph Fiennes, Jamie Campbell Bower, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman and Rupert Grint. Maggie Smith also appeared in 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' and 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban', and Alan Rickman in 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban', so audiences who have seen the earlier films can enjoy following the faces that the same actors carry on. It is rated 12 and over, and it has been available on Coupang Play with a subscription since September 14, 2021.
What to watch for
- 01
The scene in which the Goblet of Fire produces the name of an ineligible contestant is where every question in what follows begins, so the reactions of the characters around him are worth watching too.
- 02
Because several wizarding schools gather in one place, you can see how the wizarding world outside Harry's own school is portrayed.
- 03
The way the story that begins with the Dark Mark picks up again in the final phase of the tournament is the axis of tension.
Suited to viewers who want to follow both the adventure of a wizarding school tournament and the conspiracy hidden behind it, and to those watching the 'Harry Potter' films in order.
