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.

Its a DAM good thing this is an American movie because I would be really Pi%%ed off if it had been a British movie and the first pre-screening of it had actually come out in America. Phew, once again, Im just so relieved its an American movie...wait a second...

No! Chicago is way too far. It should be in New York, then I wouldn't have to travel halfway across the country to see it.

I would rather wait for the finished produt than going to see that screening. But it is really cool, and whoever gets to go is pretty lucky.

It would be really cool to see this, but I think I'll wait till it comes out this fall so that I can see the finished product, not just a kind of finished one. I think I would be dissappointed if I saw this and then they ended up cutting parts of it out.

I think it's a bit unfair that the US gets all the preview stuff! Didn't JK Rowling insist that it should be a British project?! How come we don't get it first?! Although part of me doesn't want to see the movie in its unfinished state...Grr! Perhaps we should just content ourselves with waiting for the HBP to come out! :)

Why did it have to be the 9th? Why couldn't it be the same weekend as Spellbound when I'm going to be in Chicago? Oh well, I guess I will just have to wait until November 18th like everyone else. Besides, I bet you have to have some kind of connection to be able to see the screening in the first place.

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!
