Who do you think should win?
The Verdict Franchise Civil War
Goblet of Fire's edge means the Horntail on the rooftops and the underwater maze still generate more competitive energy than Hogwarts in ruins. Newell's single-film tenure gave Goblet a restless quality — adolescent drama one scene, genuine peril the next, the graveyard sequence landing with a weight the earlier films never attempted. Yates's finale is more assured filmmaking, but assurance reads differently than surprise. The narrow gap says Goblet's volatility is a feature, not a flaw.
