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.

Critics Consensus

The main characters are maturing, and the filmmakers are likewise improving on their craft; vibrant special effects and assured performances add up to what is the most complex yet of the Harry Potter films.

4/5

Where Newell really scores is in taking a leaf out of Peter Jackson's book and cranking up the fear factor.

3/5

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.

For the first time, adults might actually enjoy a Harry Potter film as much as children.

A-

An underrated submission into the cinematic Harry Potter canon, no doubt, and a thrilling one-off experience from a director who took a swing in multiple manners.

Compared to the previous entry, this was rather boring but the world building was pretty cool. The teachers at Hogwarts are grossly incompetent.

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.

Very bad compared to the other movies. The only funny thing is the memes created from this. "HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!"

By far worst movie of the series ! Did they even bother to read the book ? Took out all the charm of the book giving the weasleys the poor seats when they had the same high end box next to the M O M in the book ! And of course the famous did you put your name in the GOF said calmly !

Rating: 8/10 ⭐️ I expected a fun tournament, but the dark shift into a thriller totally blew me away. What Worked: 60-foot tank gives the underwater scenes a terrifying, tactile weight. Through my Faith Methodism lens, seeing Harry risk his lead to save a competitor’s sister reminds me that true grace prioritizes others over glory. Fiennes presence and Doyle’s darker score perfectly anchor the dangerous climax. The Cuts: The opening act really dragged for me; skipping the Quidditch match makes the campsite attack feel abrupt. Keeping it spoiler-free, Dumbledore aggressively manhandling Harry feels wildly out of character and awkward. Plus, condensing a 600-page book sidelines the day-to-day magic, leaving the trio’s usual sleuthing no room to breathe. Verdict: A stunning, high-stakes turning point. Perfect for intense thrills, but skip if you want cozy magic. Favorite Line: “Dark and difficult times lie ahead.”

Over all this movie was good I just wish they added more to the maze than they did. This movie could have been made into 2 parts adding more from the book

Good. But this is when the movies should of became two parts. Way too much missed opportunities that "had" to be cut or completely changed to stuff into one movie. Was one of my favorite books which is why I was very disappointed in the movie.
