From Rifftrax:
Widely considered to be one of the five or six best Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire is a breath of fresh air for a series that desperately needed one. Casting aside the familiar tropes of the first three movies in favor of bold new innovations such as Quidditch, a sinister new faculty member and dragons, The Goblet of Fire leaves the viewer wanting more! And then continues for another hour and a half…
We welcome aboard dynamic new characters such as Viktor Krum, who has a line or two; Fleur Delacour, who the books made seem a lot hotter; and Madame Maxime, who engages in a romance with Hagrid. One has to imagine blackmail, a bar bet, or a fetish so vile we dare not speak its name played a major role in that one.
Will Harry enter the prestigious Triwizard Cup tournament? Let’s just get this out of the way: yes, of course he will. Will he win, let alone survive it? Again: yes. Will a student actually die, justifying all the jokes we’ve made about this series over the years? And if so, will that student be portrayed by a previously unknown actor who went on to become one of the most universally loathed characters in one of the most universally loathed series of the past three decades? We’re not telling! (but you may just want to keep some champagne on ice.)
Tuck into some moldy bread and stinking salmon with Mike, Kevin and Bill as they cast their name into the Goblet of Fire, attempt to win the Triwizard Cup and get busted trying to sneak some Clash of the Titans collectors glasses out of Burger King.

[re: Howart's Express] A train like that ought to have at least one fastidious Belgian detective aboard at all times.— Rifftrax,

[as Harry] Ron, I’ve been thinking. What do you put the odds of you having a career once these movies are done?— Rifftrax,

[re: Harry has no choice] Okay, do the adults who keep putting on the tournament where kids die have a choice?— Rifftrax,

[re: Hogwart's in snow] Eh, sure, it’s pretty. They don’t show you the solid acre of yellow snow around Hagrid’s house. Curse of the animal keeper, I guess. The animals have nothing to do with it.— Rifftrax,

Neville’s transformation into Oscar Wilde is right on schedule. [laughter] Got a schedule for that, does he? [laughter] Yes. Very rigorous.— Rifftrax,

[as Olympe] Let’s get the hell out of here, ladies, and back to one of the countless schools Voldemort isn’t obsessed with destroying.— Rifftrax,
