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 debate going because it want to see the movie in its full magnificence. However, going and making constructive criticism could make the final movie better for all HP fans.

This is really weird. Isnt this book and the actors British? Then why is America the first? Maybe its one of the biggest continents in the world, but still! For me it would be easier to fly to England than to America.

For those of you in England that are complaining about not being able to see the rough cut of the movie I really don't feel too bad for you. You have plenty of HP related events that those of us in the USA can not go to. As for me I don't live anywhere close to Chicago, but I would rather wait and see the final version with the special effects anyway. With all the tri-wizard tourny stuff it just wouldn't be the same without the special effects. I can wait until November.

I wouldn't want to watch the screening.
*gasps*
Seriously, no special effects nothing. Once the movie finished in all its glory gets released I'd be sitting there nit picking al the things that weren't there, have a running commentary of 'oooh you can just the sets edge there' etc etc...
Nope, I'd rather watch the finished product and be obliviously happy. =)

Man! I wish I was in Chicago on July 9th! Even though this movie is going to leave out a lot of stuff that's in the book (the Dursleys, Mrs. Weasley, house elves) I think it will still be pretty good.

That sounds awesome! Seeing the film in the raw version though, I dunno...
It would be nice, but I think I'd rather wait until it comes out with all the special effects and stuff in Novemember to see it. Still cool though....the general public get to go to the screening!

Well, I don't have connections, and I don't live in the Chicago area, so it looks like I am just going to have to view the film in November like most of the general public. I think it'd be awesome to see the film beforehand, being that I'm dying to see another HP film, so anyone who does get to view GoF on Saturday, lucky duck!

I would much rather see the finished product than a rough cut. Think of all the elements that would be missing! Dragons, port keys... Practically every part of the movie would need specail effects. I'll wait until November, even though I'm within Driving distance of Chicago, the movie just won't be the same.
