#15A - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: REVIEW SERIES

This week on The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast, we’re diving back into our Review Series with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!

Like the previous installments—and likely those to come—we’ve split this review into two parts. In Part 1, we break down Act 1 of the film, while Part 2 (dropping bright and early tomorrow) will pick up with Act 2, wrap up with Act 3, and conclude with our final thoughts and scores.

We’ll be dissecting the film act by act, scene by scene, and scoring it on a scale of 1 to 10. With a new director at the helm, Goblet of Fire stands out as one of the most action-packed entries in the series. Frequently cited as a fan favorite for kicking off Harry Potter marathons, this movie has a special place in the hearts of many.

Join us as we share our thoughts, critiques, and where this installment ranks among the rest of the Wizarding World!
