The Goblet of Fire is not as bad of a film adaption as I remember (especially when compared to Prisoner of Azkaban)
And I think just watching them so close together without the other superior films next to them it just made me dislike Prisoner of Azkaban a little bit more and like Goblet of Fire a bit more. I remember I told my friend before we watched them, I was like, okay, so we're going to watch the one where Sirius Black is introduced and then we're going to watch the worst adaption or at least one of the worst adaptions
But I think that these, along with other scenes that were made to be longer or more extravagant than they were in the books, serve to give visual replacements for interiority that we get in the books that is probably hard to convert to the screen. So we get this clumsy shorthand for what the students think of Bobatins and Dermstring instead of, I guess, the students speculating about them. So I guess I can allow it. I suppose even if it's not fully accurate portrayal
And I think it is well deserved because his reaction to Cedric's death is the only moment in the films like really apart from Dabi dying that consistently will make me cry. It's just so gut wrenching to hear him say oh, that's my boy, that's my son. And this is another moment where I wish we had gotten more of his character in the movie like we do in in the book book
