Both adventure films, but Mike Newell and David Yates had different things to say about it.

11 BingeBracket voters have picked between Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire leads 55% to 46% — close enough that a few dozen votes could change the picture.

The Verdict

Two mid-series Potter films splitting the vote means neither the spectacle-driven approach nor the character-driven approach has a clear advantage within this franchise. Goblet of Fire voters want the tournament; Half-Blood Prince voters want the Pensieve memories and the slow unraveling of Snape's loyalties. Both are valid Potter experiences.
