During Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts a competition will be held between three schools of wizardry, and contestants will be magically chosen for the very dangerous event.

| 282883 | Justin Brown | Medium Popcorn | Fresh | 3/5 | 2025-03-12T18:15:02.000Z | 2025-03-12 18:15:02 | Compared to the previous entry, this was rather boring but the world building was pretty cool. The teachers at Hogwarts are grossly incompetent. |
| 282884 | Brandon Collins | Medium Popcorn | Fresh | 3/5 | 2025-03-12T18:14:27.000Z | 2025-03-12 18:14:27 | It's a bit overlong and drags at times but it sets up some really amazing things for future films. Also, Ralph Fiennes and Alan Rickman are fantastic as always. |
| 282885 | Sean Axmaker | Stream on Demand | Fresh | — | 2024-01-06T03:29:19.000Z | 2024-01-06 03:29:19 | [Director Mike] Newell brings a distinctively British sense of low key, wry humor to the spectacle without losing the increasingly serious dimensions of the drama, and he brings out marvelous shades of personality from our evolving young heroes. |
| 282886 | David Nusair | Reel Film Reviews | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2021-12-13T14:00:22.000Z | 2021-12-13 14:00:22 | ...a woefully uneven installment that feels, for the most part, as though it should be a good hour shorter... |
| 282887 | Mike Massie | Gone With The Twins | Fresh | 6/10 | 2020-09-29T06:21:56.000Z | 2020-09-29 06:21:56 | It's increasingly evident that seven books and as many as eight theatrical adaptations fuel the need for too much filler subplots or nonessential side characters. |
| 282888 | Debbie Lynn Elias | Behind The Lens | Fresh | — | 2019-11-13T22:15:34.000Z | 2019-11-13 22:15:34 | More precious than a Golden Snitch in a game of Quidditch, this is one of the Must See films of the year. |
| 282889 | Guillem Martinez Oya | Cinematismo | Fresh | 4/5 | 2019-07-11T07:30:32.000Z | 2019-07-11 07:30:32 | Good film directed for a teenage audience in which not only is magic taught but also how stereotypes affect it while the film itself recreates some British stereotypes. [Review in Spanish] |
| 282890 | Ellie Lucas | The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) | Fresh | 3/4 | 2019-06-05T21:03:36.000Z | 2019-06-05 21:03:36 | For the first time, the stakes of this battle of good and evil become painfully evident. |
| 282891 | Rachel Wagner | rachelsreviews.net | Fresh | B- | 2019-04-04T00:23:26.000Z | 2019-04-04 00:23:26 | It feels rushed and there are definitely the most plotholes in this entry in the series. Still, when it does work it really works. |
| 282892 | Jeremy Jahns | JeremyJahns.com | Fresh | — | 2018-01-26T01:27:54.000Z | 2018-01-26 01:27:54 | Goblet of Fire is great, very watchable and re-watchable. |
| 282893 | Sukhdev Sandhu | Daily Telegraph (UK) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2014-12-08T15:25:20.000Z | 2014-12-08 15:25:20 | Where Newell really scores is in taking a leaf out of Peter Jackson's book and cranking up the fear factor. |
| 282894 | Peter Bradshaw | Guardian | Fresh | 3/5 | 2014-12-08T15:23:24.000Z | 2014-12-08 15:23:24 | For those like me who are outside but sympathetic to the faith, it looks like another handsomely made, good-natured and high-spirited family movie, which is dramatically stymied through being locked within school grounds. |
| 282895 | Victoria Segal | New Statesman | Fresh | — | 2014-12-08T15:21:43.000Z | 2014-12-08 15:21:43 | For the first time, adults might actually enjoy a Harry Potter film as much as children. |
| 282896 | Jim Schembri | The Age (Australia) | Rotten | 1.5/5 | 2014-12-08T15:19:38.000Z | 2014-12-08 15:19:38 | Goblet is really just a glorified, 157-minute teaser trailer, an empty epic of proportions that truly stagger. |
| 282897 | Jay Stone | Canada.com | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2014-12-08T15:17:04.000Z | 2014-12-08 15:17:04 | The adolescent subplot is treated sweetly by Newell. The awkward dances and dating faux pas at the school ball feel like additions from some other, less mythic series, and form a welcome respite from the intense magic-making of the rest of the film. |
| 282898 | Michael Kleinschrodt | Times-Picayune | Fresh | 4/4 | 2014-12-08T15:15:58.000Z | 2014-12-08 15:15:58 | Much of the credit goes to Radcliffe and his co-stars, who have become better actors with each film. They have become increasingly adept at conveying great emotion as each film demands more of them. |
| 282899 | Cosmo Landesman | Sunday Times (UK) | Fresh | — | 2014-12-08T15:14:46.000Z | 2014-12-08 15:14:46 | I think this is the best Potter film yet, for one simple reason: it's not like a Harry Potter film. |
| 282900 | Amy Biancolli | Houston Chronicle | Fresh | — | 2014-12-08T15:13:21.000Z | 2014-12-08 15:13:21 | In its last third, The Goblet of Fire builds to a climax of such overpowering dread that you might just forget the rest. Harry grows up in an instant, and the film does, too. |
| 282901 | Matt Soergel | Florida Times-Union | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2014-12-08T15:11:55.000Z | 2014-12-08 15:11:55 | The acting is stronger than ever in this fourth installment. |
| 282902 | Dennis King | Tulsa World | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2014-12-08T15:10:44.000Z | 2014-12-08 15:10:44 | By demonstrating to us how Harry and his friends are budding and changing and struggling, the film demonstrates the progressive richness of Rowling's storytelling skills and oddly haunting allure of her writing. |
| 282903 | Daniel Saney | Digital Spy | Fresh | 5/5 | 2014-12-08T15:08:43.000Z | 2014-12-08 15:08:43 | All in all, Goblet of Fire is certainly the best Potter yet, with most of the cast doing their roles justice, some great direction and Steven Kloves' screenplay makes the core of Rowling's novel into a fast-paced but easily-comprehensible enjoyable movie. |
| 282904 | David Ansen | Newsweek | Fresh | — | 2014-12-08T14:58:45.000Z | 2014-12-08 14:58:45 | Kloves has streamlined J. K. Rowling's 700-plus-page opus into cinematic fighting form. And the special effects, which threatened to overwhelm the first two movies, are seamlessly integrated. |
| 282905 | Steve Persall | Tampa Bay Times | Fresh | B+ | 2014-12-08T14:57:54.000Z | 2014-12-08 14:57:54 | Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is mostly satisfying, simply because such technical precision and meaningful special effects are rare in fantasy films today. |
| 282906 | Dan Webster | Spokesman-Review (Washington) | Fresh | — | 2014-12-08T14:56:41.000Z | 2014-12-08 14:56:41 | This fourth segment of now-adolescent Harry Potter's story, while arguably the best made, is also the most gruesome, and dark. |
| 282907 | Nanciann Cherry | Toledo Blade | Fresh | 4/5 | 2014-12-08T14:52:29.000Z | 2014-12-08 14:52:29 | With its grand special effects, many small moments of charm, and continuing development of the characters, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire takes us into a world that, evil or not, makes us reluctant to leave. |
| 282908 | Unknown Critic | Total Film | Fresh | 3/5 | 2013-11-22T16:51:16.000Z | 2013-11-22 16:51:16 | Newell vividly conjures up a world fraught with real danger. |
| 282909 | Sloan Freer | Radio Times | Fresh | 4/5 | 2013-11-22T16:50:32.000Z | 2013-11-22 16:50:32 | As young wizard Harry Potter continues to mature, so too does this exciting fantasy franchise. |
| 282910 | Leah Rozen | People Magazine | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2013-11-22T16:48:02.000Z | 2013-11-22 16:48:02 | Goblet again serves up a delicious who's who of British acting, with hilarious contributions from newcomers Brendan Gleeson as instructor Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody and Miranda Richardson as nosy reporter Rita Skeeter. |
| 282911 | Christy Lemire | Associated Press | Fresh | — | 2013-11-22T16:05:38.000Z | 2013-11-22 16:05:38 | Goblet of Fire is more effective in these smaller, more intimate moments than in the bloated bombast of its larger set pieces. |
| 282912 | Felix Vasquez Jr. | Cinema Crazed | Rotten | — | 2013-06-15T09:30:49.000Z | 2013-06-15 09:30:49 | Very boring, recycled from the previous installments, and immensely underwhelming. |
| 282913 | Joe Morgenstern | Wall Street Journal | Fresh | — | 2011-07-16T05:15:01.000Z | 2011-07-16 05:15:01 | It's downright scary how good this movie is. |
| 282914 | Film4 Staff | Film4 | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2011-06-27T17:30:38.000Z | 2011-06-27 17:30:38 | A huge cast, plenty of special effects and Harry gets a battering -- pretty much as you'd expect. |
| 282915 | J. R. Jones | Chicago Reader | Rotten | — | 2011-06-27T17:29:24.000Z | 2011-06-27 17:29:24 | A marked disappointment after Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, this fourth installment in the franchise is a 157-minute holding pattern. |
| 282916 | Julian Roman | MovieWeb | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2011-04-26T05:15:23.000Z | 2011-04-26 05:15:23 | The Goblet of Fire is a more mature story and its young stars prove they have the acting skills to grow with their characters. |
| 282917 | Joshua Starnes | ComingSoon.net | Fresh | 8/10 | 2011-03-22T16:07:46.000Z | 2011-03-22 16:07:46 | Easily the best Harry Potter film so far. |
| 282918 | R.L. Shaffer | IGN DVD | Fresh | 7/10 | 2010-11-06T13:09:52.000Z | 2010-11-06 13:09:52 | The story is engrossing, but Mike Newell's adaption is a little too dull and by-the-numbers following Alfonso Cuaron's visual tour-de-force. |
| 282919 | Fernando F. Croce | CinePassion | Rotten | — | 2009-09-01T11:58:58.000Z | 2009-09-01 11:58:58 | Chapter four in the boy-wizard franchise, and still no good scenes, interesting characters, or true imagination |
| 282920 | Mark R. Leeper | rec.arts.movies.reviews | Fresh | — | 2009-04-03T03:15:29.000Z | 2009-04-03 03:15:29 | +2 out of -4..+4 Followers of the series will find a more mature Harry and a more mature style, less sugary but not actually drier than the previous films. |
| 282921 | Michael Wilmington | Chicago Tribune | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2008-10-18T03:27:46.000Z | 2008-10-18 03:27:46 | Goblet has enough sense of real kids maturing and believably facing problems to cast some genuine spells. |
| 282922 | Tim Grierson | Screen International | Fresh | 3/4 | 2008-07-23T07:10:52.000Z | 2008-07-23 07:10:52 | A solid but mostly uninspired melding of the adventure and fright that have been the benchmarks of the franchise. |
| 282923 | Garth Franklin | Dark Horizons | Fresh | — | 2008-01-15T03:15:22.000Z | 2008-01-15 03:15:22 | Like a fine wine, Harry Potter continues to improve with age as each succeeding film version of Rowling's books seemingly surpasses the last. |
| 282924 | Joe Lozito | Big Picture Big Sound | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2007-07-14T03:26:51.000Z | 2007-07-14 03:26:51 | Finally we're seeing Harry (the character and the series) grow up. |
| 282925 | Shirley Sealy | Film Journal International | Fresh | — | 2007-03-01T03:22:23.000Z | 2007-03-01 03:22:23 | The action in Goblet of Fire is more exciting and faster-paced than in previous Potter films, and visually, it is by far the most splendid. |
| 282926 | Betsy Bozdech | DVDJournal.com | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2006-10-21T23:14:38.000Z | 2006-10-21 23:14:38 | With its dark tones, themes of teenage angst, scary creatures, and moments of true danger and suspense, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is no kid flick. |
| 282927 | Peter T. Chattaway | Christianity Today | Fresh | 3/4 | 2006-09-28T14:37:57.000Z | 2006-09-28 14:37:57 | This new story starts off as just another adventure, more or less, but by the end, the situation faced by its protagonists has become much darker, and much more dire. |
| 282928 | Jonathan Barnes | Sight & Sound | Rotten | — | 2006-09-28T03:15:46.000Z | 2006-09-28 03:15:46 | Never feels anything other than a single thread of a larger narrative. |

| 282931 | Anthony Quinn | Independent (UK) | Rotten | 3/5 | 2006-06-24T03:23:06.000Z | 2006-06-24 03:23:06 | Newell handles this unfamiliar material competently enough, but the film never picks up any true momentum. |
| 282932 | Angie Errigo | Empire Magazine | Fresh | 3/5 | 2006-04-01T03:25:04.000Z | 2006-04-01 03:25:04 | It's refreshing that Potter 4 aspires to be a paranoid thriller rather than yet another detective mystery. House points, too, for the movie's terrific effects and considerable charm. |
| 282933 | Rory L. Aronsky | Film Threat | Fresh | 5/5 | 2006-03-21T17:03:23.000Z | 2006-03-21 17:03:23 | The series is now being treated as it should be, with the right mix of magic, danger, and drama, without watering anything down just so a younger audience can be snagged. |
| 282934 | James Kendrick | Q Network Film Desk | Fresh | 3/5 | 2006-03-18T03:27:18.000Z | 2006-03-18 03:27:18 | Anything but a disappointment. Even if it doesn't achieve the lyrical enchantment of Prisoner of Azkaban, it nonetheless makes good on Rowling's darker turn in the series. |
| 282935 | John J. Puccio | Movie Metropolis | Fresh | 9/10 | 2006-02-21T12:43:52.000Z | 2006-02-21 12:43:52 | For me, the best entry in the series--the sweetest, the most exciting, the most moving, and the most touching. |
| 282936 | Derek Adams | Time Out | Fresh | — | 2006-02-09T03:16:14.000Z | 2006-02-09 03:16:14 | Goblet is deliciously dark, wickedly funny and superbly mounted. |
| 282937 | Kurt Loder | MTV | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2006-02-07T11:22:17.000Z | 2006-02-07 11:22:17 | In the book this is a wholly engrossing story -- an epic tale of good and evil and loss and yearning. Transported to the screen, however, it has sustained a few dinks and dents. |
| 282938 | Paul Byrnes | Sydney Morning Herald | Rotten | — | 2006-01-17T03:15:28.000Z | 2006-01-17 03:15:28 | It's too episodic, relying on action rather than emotion. The pace is headlong, so that the characterisation suffers. |
| 282939 | Pete Vonder Haar | Film Threat | Fresh | 4/5 | 2006-01-09T03:15:31.000Z | 2006-01-09 03:15:31 | The film's quick pace and near-constant action carries you along quite nicely. |

| 282941 | Sara Brady | Premiere Magazine | Fresh | 4/4 | 2005-12-27T03:16:13.000Z | 2005-12-27 03:16:13 | Even though Goblet of Fire clocks in at a robust 157 minutes, Newell handles the massive story with seeming ease, keeping the pace taut and intensifying the pervasive menace that lurked more subtly in the previous films. |
| 282942 | Mark Pfeiffer | Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema | Fresh | B+ | 2005-12-12T14:34:15.000Z | 2005-12-12 14:34:15 | With the Triwizard Tournament as the centerpiece, director Mike Newell fashions an action film for children that may be without any reasonable challengers. |
| 282943 | Jon Popick | Planet S Magazine | Fresh | 8/10 | 2005-12-09T12:04:09.000Z | 2005-12-09 12:04:09 | Closer kin to numbers one and two in the series, in both massive running time and playing like more of a book-on-film than the artistic peak achieved by Alfonso Cuarón in the third installment. |
| 282944 | Randy Shulman | Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) | Fresh | 4.5/5 | 2005-12-08T19:31:44.000Z | 2005-12-08 19:31:44 | Without ever losing sight of what makes a Potter film truly magical, [director Mike] Newell provides an aura of genuine dramatic gravity. |
| 282945 | Sean Burns | Philadelphia Weekly | Fresh | — | 2005-12-08T00:48:06.000Z | 2005-12-08 00:48:06 | The most focused Potter movie yet... it's all about puberty and death. |
| 282953 | Tasha Robinson | AV Club | Fresh | — | 2005-12-06T19:35:23.000Z | 2005-12-06 19:35:23 | Whenever it hits its stride, it's a well-acted, vividly executed, full-speed-ahead special-effects extravaganza that puts as much bang as possible into every remaining scene. |

Rowling's fourth installment and serves them up in one heck of an action-packed, albeit darker, film. Parents, be forewarned--this isn't kid's stuff anymore. |

| 282975 | Pablo Villaça | Cinema em Cena | Fresh | 4/5 | 2005-11-24T22:41:58.000Z | 2005-11-24 22:41:58 | Tenso e envolvente, embora substitua a complexidade psicológica e emocional do filme anterior por uma montagem mais preocupada com a história do que com os personagens. |
