The first time I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I was disappointed because it departed from the book so much. However, having seen the film again recently, I’m forced to admit that the Harry Potter films stand on their own. Truth be told, I wasn’t a Harry Potter fan until I saw the first movie. I went out the next day and bought the first three books, and I had them read within a week. So I guess if the Harry Potter films had never been made, I would never have been a fan, and that would be sad.
