Let me say I really like how Warner does the single disc and the two disc editions

This art is okay. I don't like that it reflects how much more of an Action movie it is, it seems like such a typical blockbuster DVD cover compared to previous artwork. At the same time though, #4 was kind of a summer action movie.
My continual dismay with the Potter DVD's is that they all lack a comprehensive "making of" and the greatest slight of all, a commentary track. Both of these ommissions with every one of the DVD releases screams DOUBLE DIP from the roof of Hogwarts. You know that JK Rowling will make one hell of a commentary track. Director and writer commentary track and finally, the kids together on another track. There is no excuse for the lack of these other than we are being set up, like with Begins, for a major double dip where we get the really good stuff. The extras to date on these DVD's are standard fluff. I appreciate Warners upfront attitude with the single and double disks, but somehow I think this concession is to pacify us for the double dip coming. I hope they don't try and pull the new technology game on us; release more comprehensive versons of all these DVD's on the new Blu-ray or HD-DVD (can't remember which Warner's signed on for) and slight the old technology. I also have to echo the sentiment that Warners should have kept with the style of casing and art they used for the first two movies. From a pure collector/presentation respect, having to releases in cardboard slip cases in drawn style followed by two in plastic photorealistic styles (not to mention Goblet uses a new "widescreen" banner"
doesn't make for a "clean" collection. But that is a very slight complaint.
As for the movie, enjoyed this one a lot more than the bore known as The Pisoner of Azkaban. I know many hailed that as a better, darker film than the previous two. But darker doesn't always mean better. Just look at the box office as Azkaban slipped way down. Goblet kept the faithful as well as brought back in the general population, while offering us the best performances among the kids yet. It was still dark, with the first death of the series, yet still managed to become the 2nd highest grossing in the franchise.

THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT THE WHOLE YEAR LONG!!!!!!! AND THE COVER ART ROCKS!!!!!!!
Only a month and a half away. YAY!
Hey, LL - I know the artwork says different, but there was a rumor flying around that "Goblet" was going to carry a Mike Newell commentary. I've been frustrated with a lack of these as well, so i'm hoping the rumors are, indeed, true.
And hey - Skywalker? Welcome to DVDActive, but take yourself off caps lock. It's considered shouting, which is thereby considered rude. Happy posting, bro...

I wish there was a commentary, but oh well. I'm definantely getting the double disc (looks like the return of the digipak), though I like the single disc version's art better. This 4th film was the best and cant wait to own it!
again with this double and single disc bullish. I hope WB don't repeat this trend with their HD releases

My least favorite book in the series but one of my favorite films in the series....definitely must buy. And I like the cover.
Never read any of the books, but this was the first movie in the series that even I could tell large chunks of things had been omitted in the film version, which leads me to believe that the movie needed a bit more work in the screenplay and editing areas to make it flow a bit more smoothly. Other than that it was decent, but still my least favorite of the four movies.
Like the other DVD releases, the apparent exclusion of a commentary track is a disappontment. I had hoped that Warner would give us adults who like these movies a little bit more substance on this release, but oh well. I'm still holding out hope that they at least do away with the overly frustrating menu system.

This dvd has already been announced as a date-to-date release with DVD. The WB is supporting both Blu-ray and HD-DVD.
Their is supprose ot be commentary from Mike Newell. It's says so on ********
Well, we don't post rumours like other sites. Just information direct from the distributors.
HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE (2005)
This was such a good movie. Not as good as HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN but better than HARRY POTTER AND THE SOCERER'S STONE and HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS. For a minute there I thought that Warner Bros was only doing a single-disc but then I scrolled down to see a Two-Disc Special Edition as well. That is the one I'm getting. And March 4th is like so soon! I cant wait!

Well, David Heyman confirmed that Mike Newell was contributing an audio commentary to the fourth film. Maybe it's unlisted... I do like the covers though. This film and POA are the better Harry Potter films out there, Chris Columbus's first two were good but felt rather aimed at the kiddies.

No way! Warner Bros ditched the Digipack years ago. Its the slipsleave, thats all studios are doing now-a-days. Even Fox stopped the Digipack, they were cheap and a lot of money to make.

In this case it's a good thing - the book was WAY too long and wasn't very good - kind of muddled. I liked how the movie was alot tighter.

Yes, but remeber back when films 1-3 came out you could get a 2-disc Spec.Ed. for the price of what they will price the single bare-bones edition now?
How unfair is that?
I understand the logic. Give the movie-only for rental chains/casual viewers and the goodie-filled for the fans.
But seriously, why the hefty price differential?

Good artwork and for me I hater of ALL the Harry Potter movies, GOF was actually watchable for me.
I'm definitely going to buy this movie. I LOVED HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE!!! IT IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to buy the Two-Disc Deluxe Edition.

Hefty?!?! I'd hardly call $1.99 a hefty difference.

I really wanted to love this film, but came up pretty disappointed. I think Newell is a much weaker director VISUALLY, than the Cauron, and it hurt this film, especially when compared to the third film. Like Matt, I never read the books, so I'm just generally not a big fan, this is just an outsiders perspective on the series, of which the first two episodes were very weak.
My favorite book and movie is Prisoner of Azkaban, but Goblet of Fire comes darn close movie-wise. Goblet of Fire would have been my favorite movie if, and this is going to sound petty, John Williams had done the score. I own the Harry Potter soundtracks, and the music in GoF was not as magical and haunting as John Williams' scores for the first three. His themes in Prisoner are so awesome. I hope they get him back for the upcoming last three movies. The only complaint I had about Prisoner was the case. I really liked the digipaks for Sorcerer and Chamber, but what can you do? I love this cover art, too. Can't wait for this, good thing it's not much of a wait...
But one question: Why are they floating above the water?
WTF. What is up with that high price? I mean, I know the retail at the stores will be lower, but man. I though DVD prices were coming down over time, not going up as is the case with this.
That said, I seriously can't wait to get this. I love the HP movies and the books. I really loved this latest one, and since I own the first three, I will for sure add this to my collection. And the double disc for sure. I love features, and I agree that a commentary on these films (especially from JK Rowling) would be awesome. I am pre-ordering this ASAP. Can't wait!!!!!
