[Sundae]

Oops. Even more in that case!

No problem. I have no idea what the obscurity value of the reference was...

That would have been very cool, but the effects budget had already been blown.

Is this the best that Beauxbaton can produce?

They're French. I'm surprised they showed up.

And Fleur! What was she doing in the contest? According to the film she got through the 1st test somehow - presumably coached by Madame Maxime, then bottled it on the 2nd, leaving her sister to an unknown fate, then showed as much magical power & courage as a blancmange in the maze.

The dragon chase was ridiculous and completely inaccurate. In the book, Harry got through that task relatively easily. In fact, he got through all of the tasks very easily. Had they made him get through them as he did in the book, they could have spent a bit more time on character development and other interesting subplots.

Fleur did suck... I wish that they would have done more with her disdain towards Harry - that was a bit funny in the book. She was a bit of a duffer in the movie...
