According to a report on Bad Taste, the first screening
of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is scheduled to take place in Chicago, IL this Saturday (July 9th). It may be possible for the general public to get tickets to the event & I suggest (if you can) you place a few calls to the local AMC theaters to see if that is possible.
Babel Fish translation of the article:
The post-production is still in course, in particular as far as the special effects, and the assembly will not be that definitive one... But some watching lucky people will be able to assist to one special projection of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire this Saturday, that is between 48 hours.
The test screening is a practical one accustoms them of the production houses, than they use it as a system in order "sondare the land" and to assess that the public appreciates the relative choices to the scenario, the recitazione and the assembly of the film. The spectators receive a module to compile with their impressions, and before the projection a responsible of the production house perceives that the film still is not completed, and that not there will be definitive the sonorous column neither the special effects. Insomma, one "crude" version of the film, a work in progress sure still imperfect, but perhaps just for this still more moving! And for we, than we are not therefore fortunate from being able to assist to the projection?
It is expectable that in the immediately successive hours to the screening some book reviews appear on Internet, probably rich of spoiler! We of Bad Taste will hold to you we inform to you...
We have asked for confirmation on this story but I'm not sure if we will hear anything, secrecy and all that. If you have a chance to see the movie please let us know and if we see any reports of the screening online we will be sure to bring them to you.

I do like the movies but it's still really the book that I'm holding out for. I can wait for the movie as long as I get my hands on that book at midnight on the 16th!

Not to be a spoil sport- but has anyone verified that the movie is actually playing? I searched the internet and haven't found anything else written up about the advanced screening- Warner Brothers isn't offering a contest for tickets either, like they usually do. Is it only in Chicago or will it be in other American cities?

It's a Warner Bros. Picture, thats the only reason the US gets to have a screening. Which that still does not explain Chicago. I would understand California. What's so great about Chicago?? I would prefer to see the completed picture. Maybe even an extended version!! Hint Hint

WHY does nothing ever happen in Canada? It's always in England or the USA. That is totally not fair! Oh well, I suppose I'm happy for the people who DO get to see it though...

I REALLY wish I lived in Chicago! Jeez, doesn't it figure? My family used to live a few hours away many years ago. If only they hadn't decided to move to the other side of the country before I was born! Then I could have gone to the preview! D@rn Them! *g*

I'm making phone calls right now! I think it's great that they're holding this kind of event so near to my home. I never get to do anything this exciting. Everyone just thinks we're hicks here in Kansas.

Oh I would love to see a test screening of HPGOF!! I can't wait till it comes out!
Also, I have another comment- sorry if it isn't relevant.. I think IF it is possible, a PERSON translating the article would do a better job than BabelFish :) just a thought..
