Goblet of Fire VS Half-Blood Prince

[Noctis]

Rather strange coupling, but I'm curious.

 

For me, HBP wins easily. It absolutely destroys GoF in characterization, and it's the film that I admire more and more with each viewing. It's slow, but it's rewarding. Acting, writing, directing, and visuals all go to HBP. Definitely. Score, however, definitely goes to GoF.

 

Please rate the films on a scale of 1-10.

 

GoF: 6/10 

 

HBP: 9/10

This is a tough choice. I'm not even sure I can make it. They have a near-equal number of strengths and flaws for me.

[DAR]

I haven't watched both in awhile but I'd say HBP

[The Dark Alfred]

GoF easily.

[acsc1312]

HBP, easily. HBP- 9 (still my fave in the series)GOF- 7.5

[ChD]

Half blood Prince is the second best after DH1...

 

Goblet had many flaws.

[Lordmandeep]

GOF is rough around the edges but it was the 2nd or 3rd  most attended HP film for a reason in NA.

 

It was a lot of fun.

[ddddeeee]

GoF is a blast. HBP is very good too but I give the edge to GoF.

[John Marston]

HBP. GOF is the worst HP movie in every way

[Michael Gary Scott]

GOF is one of the best books and movies.

[Lordmandeep]

I think HBP was liked by the fans while GOF was like more by the general audience.

[Michael Gary Scott]

I'm in the minority then cause I'm a fan and liked GOF better

[acsc1312]

GOF is my favorite book, but man was the movie a disappointment.

[Noctis]

I think HBP was liked by the fans while GOF was like more by the general audience.

 

General audience definitely enjoyed GoF more, but HBP was extremely divisive among the fanbase when it first came out.

[Lordmandeep]

Well I know this is going to make you mad Notcis...

 

I am a HP fan but not a die hard fan so I enjoyed the more entertaining aspects of GOF.

May it be the action scenes, the interesting story about a tournament and the new characters and all the funny scenes around the dance.

 

 

HBP is a very well made film but lacks the "fun" factor... 

[Noctis]

I actually find HBP a lot more fun to watch. It's a VERY funny film.

[Heretic]

HBP is SO funny, but, then again, so is GOF. HBP is beautifully filmed, with absolutely stunning cinematography. Inferi in the firestorm was breathtaking. It's the best flowing Potter by far, its pacing is brilliant and sets the tone perfectly. It feels dark and subsided just like it should, and characterisation is spot on. Emotions are rawly portrayed, especially by Emma. It's a film that has grown on me tremendously since I first saw it, when I wasn't actually sure I liked it much at all.GOF is incredibly fun, and I also love it, but HBP is a level above.

GOF easily. It's the only Potter movie I've seen without getting bored.

[John Marston]

the GOF movie was horrible. Terrible script and the acting was so off in that movie. The worst HP movie by far
