First half is shamefully old, but I've finally completed a two-part Goblet of Fire movie recap at my lj, if anyone's interested. Part One and Part Two.
Yes, the Entry of the Women’s Chorus (Beauxbatons) and the Entry of the Men’s Chorus (Durmstrang) was straight out of Gilbert and Sullivan. I haven’t decided if it’s more like the Rapturous Maidens/Heavy Dragoons in Patience or the Fairies/House of Peers in Iolanthe.
I know it warps canon since neither school was supposed to be single-sex, but it had no effect on the story, since all the important characters from Beauxbatons are female and all the important characters from Durmstrang are male. Personally I don’t mind the change, mainly because I’m a big opera fan—especially Gilbert and Sullivan. I got a kick out of seeing a miniature production number slipped into a Potter flick.
