Harry Potter and the Imposter Male Professors!

I'm goin' to jail!
Harry Potter returns for yet another year at Hogwarts Academy of devil worship...blah blah blah...After the surprisingly well done and surprisingly dark Prisoner of Azkaban I was fairly excited for the new PG-13 Goblet of Fire, and I wasn't disappointed. In fact I was amazed at how much darker this was, it almost looked like Nightmare Before Christmas and Batman Returns at times. Director Mike Newall does a fabulous job turning Hogwarts into a tangible, believable, truly magical place. The world of Harry Potter in the previous film seemed too busy showing us random computer generated creatures and the clue club adventures of Harry, Ron and Hermione to truly get us involved in Harry's world. This one greatly expands the world of magic by showing us the ministry of magic and students from other schools. Also, the focus shifts almost exclusively to Harry, finally turning him into a hero instead of a confused little boy who has every piece of the puzzle fall into his lap.
Another big plus for GOF is much improved acting, especially from little Danny Radcliff who managed to widen his range beyond a stare of astonishment. I was also pleased by the near of absence of Malfoy and his snooty father played by snooty British actor Jason Isaacs. The absence of their hammed up performances really kept this movie at a nice, "believable" level.
Complaints: The dude whose cell phone rang during the movie, which is annoying enough, but then he answers it and proceeds to have an entire conversation in the packed theater. "Uh yeah dude, I'm at a movie right now, yeah dude, where you at? Sure mang, I'll pick you up afterwords..." to which I proceed to turn my head and yell "shut up", which is followed by several others, to which the guy proceeds to talk even louder to prove his point that no one puts baby in a corner. To this, master of the cell phone, I salute you. Never back down, brah.
As for the movie itself, I wish there could have been more Gary Oldman and Alan Rickman, I love those guys. SPOILER, sorta...I wish there hadn't been yet another professor who ends up being a pawn of "the one who cannot be mentioned" or whatever his name is. Dear JK, you're turning Harry Potter into Scooby Doo. END SPOILER!
...Yes, well, not much else to say other than that I highly recommend this one, an all around good time and an above average film. And for the nice quick Gary Goldman cameo I give this one a 8.743/10 Hermiones
