CHALLENGES: Filmmakers had to consult on changes with author J.K. Rowling (who's usually quite agreeable); appease every kid who has read, memorized and worshipped the book; put Goblet's 734-page bulk on a severe diet that slimmed the plot without starving it; find a strong narrative line that, as director Mike Newell says, you can "hang stuff on like a necklace"; and make a movie that fit into the seven-novel structure but could stand alone as a ripping yarn.

...compared with incidence of physician-reported and self-reported high blood pressure. The study, published last Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found a “modest inverse U-shaped relation” between coffee consumption and hypertension after controlling for other factors such as diet and smoking. While not disputing the short-term increase in blood pressure and stress hormones found by other studies, one of the authors of the report, Dr. Gary C.
