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 would never watch this cut of GOF for two reasons: One, it is a crude version with poor quality in special effects, and two, I want to build up my suspence for the FINISHED and COMPLETE product on November 18, 2005, even if it kills me!

Why is everything in Chicago? I live in LA and yet nothing. No Parties no screenings. I mean it is the entertainment capital of the world.

WOW!! I live 2 hrs. away from Chicago!!!! I still wouldn't want to see it though, I'd rather wait for the finished product. The Babel Fish translation wasn't that good, I barely understood what it said!

That would be fun, to be able to sit down, watch, and then make comments (like, PLOT, WHERE'S THE PLOT?????) Then again, I am sure that isn't what they wanted. Alas, I am once again, on the wrong side of the rockies for this one.

Screening can be really dissapointing! Without the effects, and wityh just crude cuts, the flow of the film is all wring. Better to wait 'till Novenber...long lines and sold out theatres and all:)

I reckon that this is a hoax. no way would the studio executives let an advance screening go out this early.

I wouldn't want to attend that preview. I would rather wait for it to be polished and perfect than to see it in its unfinished form. I mean, it spoils the illusion!

Oh man, would I love to attend that screening. Chicago is too far for me. Even New York would have been a greater possibility. They should give us Canadians here in *hint hint* Toronto a chance at Hp magic hehehe ^_^ Have fun all u that go!

If I only had like major connections I would love to be one of the first people to see the movie. But, I do think there should be major security going on. I know I don't want someone to sneek in any kind of camara and copy the movie, it's not even finished!

It would be awesome to go.
Although, I dunno, babel fish translations aren't very good at all.
I have to ask myself, wouldn't it be funny if we were all working ourselves up over nothing, because we'd completely missunderstood the original text?
And I answer myself, no, no it wouldn't be. Probably it would just be infuriating. I'm kidding though, I trust the source.
