Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Reader reviewed by Megan

I thoroughly enjoyed this book to the maximum. At first I read it just so I could race my friend in reading it. Then I read it a second time and really appreciated how great it really was. In the book, Harry Potter is mysteriously entered in a Triwizard Tournament. The Triwizard Tournament is a competition between 3 Wizarding Schools where one champion from each school is entered to compete in the Tournament. The tourament consists of 3 tasks and whoever has the highest score from the tasks wins. This book truly shows Harry becoming a teenager. He is getting a bit lovesick, he is having to face reality in its worst, and he is learning so much more about himself and others' pasts. I'm not usually into adventure books like Lord of the Rings, but the Goblet of Fire has so much more to offer than just adventure. It has other categories like romance, comedy, thrill, horror, fantasy, and of course mystery. It has something for everyone's liking.

This book is so much more different from the other books in the series. This is the only book I was truly excited about to reread. When I was thinking about rereading the Order of the Phoenix, i thought about some of the parts that I didn't like so much such as Sirius' death. I also didn't want to reread the Prisnor of Azkaban because of the dementors and the whole concept of Pettigrew vs. Lupin and Sirius. But I was very thrilled about the Goblet of Fire and there wasn't a part that I wasn't looking forward to reading about. I never wanted to put the book down.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is my all time favorite Harry Potter book. Its so enthralling!

In book 4 the exciting event of the year is the Tri-Wizard Tournament which is a huge event where a young wizard is chosen from the three wizarding schools. The particapent from Hogwarts is chosen from the Goblet of Fire and Cedric Diggory is chosen but the goblet also spits Harry's name up. This is a terrible miscarriage of justice in the eyes of the students. Everyone thinks Harry placed his name in the goblet on purpose. Since what the goblet says is final Harry is in the tournament and manages to get through the challenges with the help of his friends. In the end it comes down to Harry and Cedric. Unfortuantly dark forces intervine and take both Harry and Cedric away for a night of torture and tragedy.

This was the saddest book in the series, Book 6 now holds that title, but no matter what its a great book and my undisputed favorite.

this is one of the best books i have ever laid my eyes on. the whole harry potter series is. j.k. rowling you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in this book, harry is entered into some wizard computitions which is weird cuz you have to be a senior to enter. in the end harry finds out that "he who must NOT be name" have returned is is practically more powerful than before.

i love this series because of all the suspence and that fact that it just makes you want to read more plus when you read it it's like your part of the book like your in the book and when you stop you just have to get back in. its like you've been put under a spell and have to continue but in a good kinda way.

i would recomend this series to anyone 10+ because at that age you can actually tell whats going on around you and understand it giving you the advantage of understanding the book better.

This is definatly the best book in the series (I think) and is thrilling and full of dips and turns and all that good stuff that you expect from Rowling!
Of coarse, it is being made into a movie and I now watch the Teaser Trailer about two times a day!
If you ever read any book ever again, make sure it is Harry Potter and the GoF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously! (But PLEASE read 1,2,3 first!!!)

I really loved this book. While it's not my favourite, I still loved it. I especially loved the idea of a Ball. I think that it kind of made the guys braver in a way...even though it wouldn't be the end of the world to ask someone out! But, you gotta have guts to invite someone to a ball, right?

This book was awsome, and I'm reading it for the fourth time and I still want to read it. I guess it's a good thing that I own all the books,huh? I can't wait to get to read the sixth book and if you guy's and girls like to read action or exitment or just plain out fantasy, I would suggest The Anubis Gates, By Tim Powers I just added it the list. Have fun!!!!!1111111

Im almost embarrased by my interest in the Harry Potter books.. its a highly uncharacteristic interest for me but to say the least they hold my attention.. i gobbled this book up in a feverish two days during which my face turns a lovely shade of red when I say I did little else.. If youve read the first four.. read this one too.. and if you havnt.. well youve got some reading to do!

The Harry Potter movies are tons better I really couldn't stand reading this book or any of the HP series. I didn't get past page 8 before UI told my mother she could give it to someone else.

I loved this book! I never, ok maybe once or twice, got bored of it! it's most unlike me! I think this is my favorite book so far. it sux that they have to take soooo much out of the book to make it a short movie...but I say, wut the hech? why not leave it at 14 hours? but oh well, its not like they ever listen

This addition to the Harry Potter series had a new sortof dark feeling to it, Harry was alot more, how shall I put it...dark! I enjoyed it though otherwise, just like all of the others. I am VERY anxious to see the next! GREAT job, J.K.Rowling
