...draining scene at the film’s conclusion do his acting lessons bear fruit. Screenwriter Steven Kloves, adapter of all four film versions, redeems himself for the gaping plot holes of “Prisoner of Azkaban” with an airtight “Goblet” script. With so many significant plot elements missing (Hermione’s humane S.P.E.W. campaign, house elves Dobby and Winky), one would think a two-and-a-half-hour version of the 734-page book would suffer from confusing narrative jumps.

...stage-managed and air-brushed as meetings between world leaders have become, the public rarely sees the actual script. So President Bush watched in amusement on Thursday as an aide to South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun walked in front of live television cameras and plunked a sheet of vertically folded paper on the podium as Roh (a Korean name that is pronounced "No," a boon to nay-saying anti-government protesters) gave a long and rambling answer at the two leaders' news conference in the ancient Korean capital of Gyeongju. Bush staffers around the room eyed each other merrily...
