Harry Potter and the Goblet of Firementary
Added 2024-06-21 10:00:10 +0000 UTC“Oh, look, she’s dating the Cossack!” - Eric on Hermione’s dance date
Instead of JAMMING UP the holiday commentary slot with another Potter track, we decided to dive back in early and tackle the fourth entry in the popular film franchise, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! The second-longest of these films, this one features R-Pats as the doomed Cedric Diggory, a school administrator who’s also a GIANT. WOMAN., underwater shenanigans with angry mer-people, and a new teacher who’s A-okay with torturing his kids! Bring on the Hogwart’s Corporal Punishment! And remember a simple commentary track doesn't equal endorsement, so yes, we still think JKR is a bigoted sack of shit!
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Robert Pattinson, Jason Isaacs, Tom Felton, Timothy Spall, David Tennant, Robbie Coltrane, David Bradley, Warwick Davis, Frances de la Tour, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Brendan Gleeson, Miranda Richardson, Gary Oldman, Shirley Henderson, Ralph Fiennes, and Michael Gambon as Dumbledore; directed by Mike Newell.
If you are watching along (which we encourage) and have to re-start your sync for any reason, we start the movie at the 00:00:05 mark and the commentary starts at the 00:05:28 point of this audio track! Thank you for continuing to support WHM on Patreon—you keep this train moving!

2025-05-08 03:35:08 +0000 UTCBeen going back over all the commentary I don't need to buy films for and after this one I'm left wondering when the guys will continue with the rest of the movies and when/if they do will they still be available on streaming lol

2024-06-30 22:12:59 +0000 UTCWe had to learn the electric slide, square dancing, line dancing (but we just did it in place scattered around the gym, so we weren't even really in lines), waltz....The worst mistake I ever made was opting to take swimming instead of track (we had to pick one of the two). So many unpleasant memories of gym classes.

2024-06-27 16:26:45 +0000 UTCY'all think if Harry left Cedric tangled in the maze he'd still be alive?

2024-06-26 23:25:01 +0000 UTCI decided to read the books a few years ago after all these films came out and I still can't believe how much info is missed out from the films.

2024-06-24 15:40:45 +0000 UTCYall discussing what Tom Felton has been up to reminded me that he was in most of the 3rd season of The Flash.
Swan Benson
2024-06-24 14:02:19 +0000 UTCThe talk about drinking in an abandoned place at the beginning reminded me of my rebellious youth in the Chicago suburbs breaking into a condemned Catholic seminary school and church called Maryknoll.
Dan sulin
2024-06-24 12:42:57 +0000 UTCAs someone whose contempt for this series is bred by familiarity, I find listening to Eric acquire his in real time to be delightful.
HockeenightsCT
2024-06-23 20:21:41 +0000 UTCNow I'm even more excited for y'all to do the next one. These kids get tortured by Imelda Staunton for like 95 minutes.

2024-06-23 14:48:34 +0000 UTCSo Adidas has a contract to make custom track suits for Hogwarts?

2024-06-23 01:49:19 +0000 UTCFirst time watching for me, too.

2024-06-22 23:25:53 +0000 UTCYes, we had a dance unit too! We are all like 12 and we had to square dance I think the teachers hated us 🤣

2024-06-22 20:37:32 +0000 UTCEric deep sighing through this 🤣🤣
Nyasha Wesson
2024-06-22 17:50:40 +0000 UTCDumbledore's unneccessary aggression towards Harry in that one scene will never not be hilarious. I feel like Gambon didn't have a grasp on the character until Order of the Phoenix.

2024-06-22 16:25:39 +0000 UTCThe twist in this movie is that he's a special boy to the bad guys too.

2024-06-22 05:01:38 +0000 UTCMy gym class in Middle School did Tai Chi for some reason
Ray
2024-06-22 05:01:05 +0000 UTCI've waited so long for this one. This movie was one of the classic cases of being the only dvd we owned. So, of course, I hate it.
Ray
2024-06-22 04:58:40 +0000 UTCI hope Eric is okay, the way he said, "I wish there was a candy cart lady to be nice to me" hit hard

2024-06-22 00:06:04 +0000 UTCAfter listening to it: still cried despite my mom being dead for 20 years (JFC I'm old), but your commentary was great!

2024-06-21 22:47:00 +0000 UTCWe had to do square dancing in gym class as well. Think that was the only dancing we learned tho
Ryan Keyport
2024-06-21 21:48:40 +0000 UTCMaybe the real treasure was the owls we became along the way. Another great Pottermentary! I do really like this film, but it's always fun hearing you guys tear them apart 🙂
Tony King
2024-06-21 21:17:28 +0000 UTCThis is the last movie I saw with my mom before she died, so I always get emotional when I watch it. I'm so excited to listen to you guys tear it apart.
I.C. Weiner
2024-06-21 19:14:58 +0000 UTCYou’ve got half the cast of In Bruges in this film, but what it’s missing is Harry and Ron catching stray c bombs from Brendan Gleason’s character.
Josh Perrigo
2024-06-21 15:57:49 +0000 UTCYes yes and more yes!!!!! These are some of my all-time favorite things you guys do--and that's saying something! I hate Harry Potter--grew up on it, loved it, realized how many subtextual slurries in Surri pervaded it. Also J. K. Rowling is a loathsome human being, and that's saying something! Love you guys, can't wait to hear Erick's perpetual rage and confusion at at all things Potter. Don't forget to wear the Blue!
Zora McBride
2024-06-21 15:39:48 +0000 UTCAin't nothin wrong with liking the Werthers. It's when you see them at the store and go "hmm..." That's when you have to start scheduling certain exploratory procedures.
Mark Ibarra
2024-06-21 15:15:22 +0000 UTCIn the next movie, Hogwarts exits the wizarding world because they don't want Bulgarians in their school.
Eren Keskin
2024-06-21 14:02:25 +0000 UTCYeah but in the film version, Steve uses his Brian Cox voice.
Mark Ibarra
2024-06-21 12:37:15 +0000 UTC"Did you put your name into the VHS Trailer Game winners list, Eric?" Steve asked calmly.
