1. My Favourite
Movie scene:
The Graveyard scene
(Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire)
2. Significance:
O The resurrection of Lord Voldemort in "Goblet of Fire"
graveyard scene marks a turning point for the "Harry
Potter" movies, things got dark and went downhill
very quickly for Harry after this point. The whole
climatic scene at the end of the fourth "Potter" movie
-- from Cedric being killed to Harry's close escape --
are some of the most engaging minutes the "Harry
Potter" franchise has produced. Plus, it marked the
introduction of Ralph Fiennes to the series, as a
brilliant and terrifying Lord Voldemort.
3. Scene Summary:
O After Harry Potter, Victor Krum, Cedric Digory and Fleur Delacour
tackled the maze in the final stage of the TriWizard Tournament, only
Cedric and Harry remain. They decide they want to win together, as they
are upset by the way wizards will turn on one another. In the scene,
they are both transported to a graveyard via port key. Voldemort
ordered Pettigrew to "kill the spare," and Cedric was struck with the
Killing Curse. Harry was then trapped so that Pettigrew could take
some of his blood, to use in a Dark potion to restore Voldemort.
Pettigrew also took a bone from the grave of Tom Riddle and his own
hand, as part of the potion. Voldemort was reborn and constructed a
silver hand to replace the one Pettigrew lost. He then pressed a long
bony finger on his Dark Mark, calling his Death Eaters to him. Harry and
Voldemort duel and then harry transports himself and Cedrics body
back to Hogwarts, on instructions from Cedrics spirit for his body to be
returned to his father.
4. Lighting in this scene:
O The lighting in this scene is very dim, with the added
effect of fog. This is to create an air of mystery and
suspense. It also is effective in creating an eerie
atmosphere. It is dark, yet, everything and everyone in
the scene is still clearly visible.
5. Camera Angle:
O The camera angle in this scene changes as the scene plays out.
O Initially, at the beginning on the scene in which Cedric is killed,
there is a wide shot of him and Harry and the entire graveyard. This
shows us our setting. Then there are close up shots of both Harry
and Cedric.

O When Voldemort is re-born, the shots are mainly low, looking up at
Harry, then up at the changing Voldemort. This allows us to get a
clear picture.
O After this, there are many wide shots, then low shots looking up at
Voldemort. There are also some eye level shots of Harry, so we can
see his expressions clearly. There are some medium shots of Harry
and Voldemort. For the climax of the scene a wide shot it used, so
that we can view all the action taking place with ease.

6. Make-up:
O The make up used in this scene is very important and
key to the scenes effectiveness.
O Harry has some make up on to give the effect that his
face is covered in dirt and cuts from taking part in the
tournament and battle. This adds to the distress that he
is in. We can see he has been through a lot.
O Voldemort of course has special effects make up, which
give him his alien-like appearance.
O Harry and Cedric both have cuts and bruises to convey
to us as we watch, the fighting and struggling they had
to do just to make it through the tournament.
O Finally, Harry has his iconic lightning bolt scar on his
forehead, so we all know who is Harry.
7. Costume:
O In this scene, the costumes are based on what “House”
the character is in. Harry wears the Griffindor colours,
Cedric wears Hufflepuff etc.
O The costumes worn are distressed, torn, covered in
both blood and dirt. Again, showing what the characters
have gone through.
O Voldemort wears a long black cloak which adds to the
air of mystery surrounding him and makes him seem
more ominous.
O The other characters in the scene wear black/dark
clothing also to show they are also evil characters. To
make them seem scarier.
8. Non-Verbal Communication:
O There is not really any non-verbal communication
between characters in this scene.
O However, without speaking, Harry does manage to
convey his fear and despair whilst Voldemort is leaning
over him, ready to end his life once and for all.
O A close up on his face allows us to see this
communicated clearly, without using spoken word.
O (this happens at 1:01 in the Battle video linked)
9. Sound and visual effects:
O There are some very important special effects in this scene
and without them the scene wouldn’t be anywhere near as
exciting.
O Sound effects are used when Harry and Voldemort are
having their battle. They are both using their wands to cast a
spell and the sound it makes is really spectacular. (1:49 in
the Battle video link)
O Along with this, the use of the wand in this scene always
comes hand in hand with some visual effects. Flashes of
coloured light and lightning like effects when magic is used
can be seen in both video links. Without it, the use of the
magic wouldn’t have anywhere near as much visual impact.
O Also in Voldemorts re-birth, the special effects are a ball of
fire which engulf him as he is reborn, also the cauldron
which is bubbling with blood is a really cool and spooky
special effect. Each are highly visually dynamic.

12. Why I love this scene:
O This is my favourite scene from a film because it was a
really significant scene in the Harry Potter franchise.
Up until then there had been no physical person acting
as Voldemort. There had just been his voice. Now
Voldemort is reborn and back to cause even more
trouble for Harry. Also, I love this scene because it was
eerie, scary, and had a brand new character
introduced (Cedric). I love the special effects in this
scene too, the coloured light, and the “canopy” of
light, during the battle is amazing to watch. It is both
scary, exciting and sad as Cedric dies. The characters
in the scene, the effects, the lighting, the sounds, all
add to it being a really visually dynamic viewing
experience.
