Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


This is Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This year he finds himself facing the triwizard tournament as the fourth opponent, which breaks the rules of the tournament. This, however, was not the doing of Harry but of a more sinister force. On can feel the evil in this movie because of all of the darkness in it. Professor Alastor Moody, for example who turns out to be a traitor in disguise, is shrouded in ambiguity as a foreboding that this character would turn out evil. He is consistently dressed in dark colors and in shadows, which signify evil about him. Lord Voldemort himself is always carried in a black cloth which archetypally means death, this is fitting because Voldemort is technically dead; however, he can not die because of precautionary magic used. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is the exact opposite of Lord Voldemort, he is the Jesus Character in a sense whereas Voldemort would be the devil. Dumbledore is ever omnisicent and is always shrouded in the light which is an archetype for goodness. The Gryffindors colors are crimson and yellow, crimson being a color that indicates passion which tends to be true for the greater majority if not all of the gryffindors. The gray in the colors of the Slytherins represents ambiguity because one is not born evil, one is made that way. In this case it more specifically represents their stuggle of children to try to live up ti the expectations of their parent,wheter they want to or not.
