I enjoyed watching this movie far more than the others. I think they did a good job of sticking to the basic plot of the book, ie, the Triwizard Tournament and Voldemort's return. I loved the scenes before the ball when the boys were trying to get dates. Very 14 year old boyish, methinks.
As for the poll, I always kind of liked Luna with Harry, but as Rowling has it set up, Ginny will be his girl. But, you know? That's the way it works, right? Hermione can take care of herself, so she gets the sidekick, and Ginny's the damsel in distress, so she gets the hero.
Visually the movies improved, def. And I loved Neville in this movie. I even kind of preferred the change of Neville helping Harry with the second task instead of Dobby. It was sad that they couldn't fit in the whole Barty Crouch, Jr. sequence with Winkie and the Azkaban switch and all of that. I think the Moody is really Barty, Jr. would have been more impressive.
But you have to take into consideration artistic liscense. I also thought this movie was directed better than the others. Yes, that includes Prisoner of Azkaban and the oh-so-talked about Cuoron...or...however you spell it.
