Yes, it’s that time of year again; another monster of a Potter movie is about to apparate into Leicester Square and once again, is expected to take the muggle world by storm. This is the fourth instalment of Hogwarts hi-jinks and personally, it’s my favourite.
Don’t be alarmed but the Goblet of Fire does take a darker stance than its predecessors and is definitely the beginning of fearsome things to come. Lord Voldemort is unveiled as a threat to democracy in the Wizarding world, conniving reporter Rita Skeeter is on the scene and Harry's life is in more peril than ever.
Leicester Square will be decked out in all things Potter and no doubt it will be an absolute spectacle. The all-star cast just gets better as they churn the movies out; Ralph Fiennes, Miranda Richardson and Brendan Gleeson are set to join Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, Julie Walters, Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon and Robbie Coltrane on the red carpet. Not forgetting of course, the three not-so-little returning starlets who managed to clinch the roles of Harry, Herminone and Ron. Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe will no doubt be waving and looking as pleased as punch as they step on to the red carpet. For Harry, 'Difficult times lie ahead', but for these three youngsters things can only get better.
