With the World Quidditch Cup and Tri-wizard tournament happening at the same time, this movie has more action sequences than the first three.
When screenshots were initially released for this movie, the first thing I noticed is that the Weasley boys sported long hair ... it's actually becoming for the twins, but on Rupert Grint who plays Ronald - he looks like a girl.
The new characters in Harry's circle introduced in this installment are Mad-Eye Moody, Cho Chang, and the Tri-wizard entrants: Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour and Viktor Krum. The movie's Cho is indeed charming, and Cedric is the typical hunk. However, Fleur looks more like the girl next door instead of the flirty pouty blonde I imagined, and Viktor is one handsome jock although in the books he isn't much of a looker and he limps.
The house elves are absent in this movie. So there are no S.P.E.W. jokes, no Winky covering for Barty Crouch, nor is Dobby present to help Harry prepare for the second task. Dobby's role in that scene is taken over by Neville, who I think is slowly being given more attention to prepare moviegoers for his bigger role in the next film, if they will follow what happened in Book 5. I imagined Rita Seeker to be more thin faced, and the Senior Crouch to look more dignified instead of comical.
That said, I still think that the movie is true to the spirit of the novel even if it changed some things.
