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.
