| Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire may not break with all the Potter traditions, but the fourth film is far more ambitious than its predecessors, conjuring up a gothic complexity that has earned the series its first 12A certificate. |
The Phillipine Daily Inquirer
| While it leads inevitably to a set-up for the next Harry Potter movie, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" proves itself a cheeky, imminently watchable parable of growing up and a tale of transformations where the anguished action hero must face down adolescent awkwardness as well as awe-inspiring evil. Wicked, indeed. |

| Newell delivers the first of the five-star Potters, adding a level of boarding-school charm the series was desperately lacking. |
TotalFilm
| If there's a problem, it's with the length of Rowling's source material; it's simply too long to fit into 160 minutes without having large chunks of storyline left on the cutting room floor. |
| As a spectacle, though, 'Goblet' is deliciously dark, wickedly funny and superbly mounted; it also sports some fine turns, especially Ralph Fiennes' evil Lord Voldemort and Brendan Gleeson's cockeyed wizard, Alastor Moody. |
