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.

Man, first Spellbound!, now the GoF preview... What's so special about Chicago, anyway? :-P Granted, I've only been to O'Hare, so perhaps I've missed something...

That's weird that they would play it so early since it's comming out in November... I would still so love to see it though, even if it's not totally completed.
It would be so much fun!

Why do the Americans get everything first?
Its a British movie for christs sake!
Wouldn't it have to be made by a British studio, using British money, British mapower and British resources to be considered a British film?
As for Americans getting everything first, the movies usually premiere in the UK first (unless there is a holiday involved, as there was for the PoA premiere).
And with respect to Chicago, they don't even get a premiere, so it's nice that they've finally got something.

I would love to participate in something like that soooo much!
Wouldn't everyone be pea green with envy if you saw GOF four months early?!

Hmm. Confused. I thought this film didn't come out until November! I really doubt this is true, as this would spoil the whole aura of secrecy surrounding HP. Perhaps there is a full screening within WB, but I really doubt there would a public screening so far in advance!
And if it is true, why is it being shown in America? A British film, filmed in Britain, with British actors...someone see a pattern here?

I think that it would be so fun to go see the first screening, that would be so much fun! I hope that November comes as fast as July did, because I really can't wait much longer for this movie to come out!!! :)
OH, and they always screen the movie to the big wigs early, I'm thinking that it will be hard to get tickets if you are just an "oridinary" Harry Potter fan! :) I would think you would have to have connections of some sort!

Oh! Chicago again! No offense but how about Louisville or even Indy? That way I could have a concievable chance of going?! I can't wait for information on the movie...it will probably only make the wait seem longer though.

OOhh! I wanna go! How neat would it be to see all the mistakes. Then whenever you see the real version in November you could see all the cuts they made. How exciting. I'm glad the movie isn't coming out until November. It gives me something to look forward to after I finish this book (which will take about a day).
