Officially it became the fourth movie in history to earn that much in its initial days of showing, just behind Star Wars, James Bond and Lord of the Rings series. Though all the previous Harry Potter films went on to top a quarter-billion dollars in ticket sales, the new Potter movie outpaced them all. Hollywood is now hoping that the new Harry Potter would somehow pull up the movie industry that is currently suffering from sluggish sales. Harry Potter fans seem to like most Harry's performance during a triwizard tournament with its spectacular cinematography, and his encounter with the evil Voldemort. Many of them claim the Goblet of Fire is by far the best of the Potter series. The current film is much darker than the last two. This is also the first Harry Potter film that did not receive a PG rating. Instead, it earned a PG-13 rating due to its ominous theme. Nonetheless, wizardry fans are screaming with obvious delight. Although many of the subplots from the 734-page book were dropped, none of the fans are complaining.

One of the fans said he liked the subtlety of the story. Another said the film has a good moral for the young people, specially when the young Potter chose to help others even at a great risk to himself.

With the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter hasn't yet lost his charm among moviegoers, though he's obviously grown older and starting to struggle with love. Perhaps it because his fans are growing up with him, and they all want to see what series of events would happen next to him. Even adults are anxious about what the new movies brings. According to the movie's distributor Warner Bros., 38% of the moviegoers who went to see the Potter film were adults without children.
