Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
(Harry Potter 4)
by J.K.Rowling
fantasy
published 2000
read (again) July 2013
rated 8/10: really quite good
By this stage -- of my first reading -- I was hanging out for the next instalment of the wizard saga. There were rumours of a death. And it is a monster of a book.
A monster of a book that lived up to expectations.
There's a broadening of our knowledge of the wizarding world. More depth to the main characters. More characters. More magic.
And not everyone is happy.
Harry, Hermione and Ron are starting to notice the opposite sex... with all the difficulties that that brings to teenagers. The threat from the return of Voldemort becomes more serious... and a character dies.
Worst of all, the wizarding world -- the good wizards -- are divided... Into those who fear the return of Voldemort -- and those who deny it.
Life is difficult for Harry. The adventure is more serious. Loyalties are divided.
The series grows, in both breadth and depth. I was hooked, and desperate for the next book.
I am hooked, and ready to re-read the next book.
