HDTV News has a very positive review of the recently released Goblet of Fire High-Definition DVD: The Goblet of Fire is possibly one of the best HD transfers to date, with clean crisp pictures looking stunning and at times almost 3D like in quality. Warner have made a real effort to provide all of their High Definition release with Dolby TrueHD which adds to the superb mix, especially when pushed through a decent quality amp. The whole experience is an assault on the senses that will leave you demanding more of the same. Unfortunately, these discs require a very pricey HD DVD player or an XBOX 360 with a separate HD add-on. Prices for this new technology will likely decrease over the next year.

Patrick Doyle, the composer for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, held a public screening of the fourth film last night at Syracuse University, followed by a Q&A session with students. The Daily Orange reports that Doyle answered questions about the movie, his career, the music industry and the world of film composing.
"Working on 'Harry Potter' was unusual, he said, because he worked closely with the director as well as the sound designer, editor and conductor to integrate the music and make it an essential part of the film."
Additionally, Matt and I were able to chat with the composer yesterday afternoon and you can hear the full interview on the next episode of MuggleCast. Many thanks to Syracuse University, David Rezak and The Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries!

UPDATE: It is being reported out of Manitoba that the band has lost the $40 million lawsuit.
There's an update today concerning a story that dates way back to 2005. Prior to the release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the Canadian band The Wyrd Sisters attempted to stop the film from playing in Canada because their band name was used in the film.
The case has now been settled - but details have not been disclosed:
A $40-million lawsuit launched by The Wyrd Sisters, a little-known Winnipeg folk group, has been settled out of court, representatives for both sides confirmed to The Canadian Press. However, the settlement is subject to a confidentiality clause that prevents either side from revealing what, if any, money has changed hands.
You can read a timeline of events concerning this case right here. We're still glad Canada got to see Goblet of Fire after all!

There's a new interview out today with the actor who plays Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. In it, he talks about his reaction to receiving a nomination at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards (which we first reported earlier today).
Of special interest is his comments about a scene they were planning on shooting for Goblet of Fire, which they ending up scrapping:
"In the fourth film, I got turned into a ferret," he said. "In the original script, it says that in the transition back from ferret to human, I was going to be naked, and I was going to have to run through the courtyard with about 60 extras and 50 film crew and run out with my cheeks on show. For some reason, they pulled that at the last minute. I don't know why. Maybe they thought it was too explicit for young viewers. Maybe something about not having a wide-angle lens!"
