The Case

Welcome to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth book in the Harry Potter series and the first of the 'chunky' novels in the saga. At over two inches thick, it is not a book to be read lightly. Of course, if you're coming off books one, two, and three, there's no question that you'll dive straight into four head-first, with a bit of glee at the prospect of such a thick addition to the story of the Boy Who Lived!

The Plot (Spoiler-free!)

Harry's fourth year in the wizarding world kicks off with a special treat: the Quidditch World Cup! He heads off to the biggest sporting event...

Our fourth year at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

 

Oh Harry, such turmoil and triumph you experience  for someone at such a young age. 
Perhaps it's because I know what's coming.

 

Perhaps.....

Because I agree like you do ( Harry ) that believing in good shall always prevail over evil.  Even if it means that you have to do  the same evil you are fighting against in order to save those you love.

Book 4, it's a turning point in the writing of JK Rowling.  The genius of JK is that people who have read her series will see that she starts our writing for children, and as...

Let me begin by saying that I too was skeptical. I didn't jump on the harry potter bandwagon when it first came out, but rather, I finally took the plunge right before the 7th book came out. I have two much younger brothers. I was in college at the time and thought that if my elementary school aged brothers were reading it, then I probably shouldn't be. But with all of the hype that came with the publication of the 7th and final book, I couldn't help but crack open the first book... and that was it.... I was hooked. The books are funny, thoughtful, and interesting. They have appeal for a wide...

In the book "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" there is non stop action. The book kept my attention from the first page. I was amazed to read about how Harry always finds himself in some kind of trouble or another. Harrry is an amazing character. He is scared of what is to come, but he isn't afraid to do what he has to do to get the results he wants. Harry has grown up so fast and has had to learn on the fly (pun intended). The Tri-wizard tournament was the most exciting event in the book. Watching him fight with the dragon to win the golden egg was so thrilling. He showed how he wouldn't give...

This book was better than all the other Harry Potter books since I've read all of them. I mean it left me wanting to know what's going to happen in the next installment. I loved the whole contest thing to it was really exciting how Harry got picked even though he wasn't of age. I didn't like when his friend died though that was really sad and I really hated that Valdermort could now hurt Harry Potter. It was exhilirating to read I couldn't put the book down until I had finished the whole thing. I  left me wondering what was next for this amazing and talented wizard, but I knew one thing this just...

I love harry potter.  Always had since the first book came out.  I love the fact that you can lose youself in the book.  I ve read all the book when i was in my girst year of high school.When i first read an harry potter book,  i became hook.  I felt sorry for him and i felt as if he was me at times.  The book is like many people lives in certain aspects.  Alot of people parents died and they had to go and live with another family member who was jealousy and fightinh with them.  And you grow up thinking no one cares.  And then you finds someone you cares,  or you find something you care...

This book has so much going on that it is hard to write a review. I loved this book. It starts out with Lord Voldemort plotting. Harry gets an invite to spend the end of the summer at the Weasley's and he is very excited. They get to go to the Quidditch World Cup, where bad things start happening. The Death Eaters (Voldemort's minions) show up and things turn ugly fast. Once at Hogwarts, the students learn that they will be sharing the grounds with students from 2 other wizarding schools so that all may participate in the TriWizrd Contest, which Harry becomes an unlikely contestant in.

My husband and I travel by car a lot, and we always bring our four children with us. since we are in the car so much I started reading stories aloud so that the family didn't get bored and start asking the "Are we there yet?" question.

We are now into this fourth Harry Potter Adventure, and my family loves the story. They cannot stand for me to quit reading so we even read on our porch when we get home.

I find it more enjoyable to read aloud then to spend money on the talking tapes. We have even shown the kids the stories on movies, but of course after we have read the story first.

Our goal...

This book, like many, should be read before seeing the movie! However they are two diiferent stories or should i say the way they unfold are different. I personally loved the book and could not find time to put it down. Always wondering how Harry would find out about the next task and then how he would conquer the task. It was good to read about Harry and Cho. It showed this book isnt just a kids book, but it's relatable to real life situations. During his detention with profesor Umbridge, my hand became weak, as if I was writing the lines. I wouldn't see the length of the book to be bulky but... review »

The 4th book of Harry Potter is I think my most favorite in the series. It has all the drama, the mystery and galmour! With all the students from abroad visiting Hogwarts, it's got to be detailed and I love detailes. The characters of Dobby and Winky, that were so unartistically removed in the movie, are of great importance. Ron's envy put yet another dark shadow on a plot  already  full of  "squirming in your belly with anxiety" events. Hormeone has again proved herself "the best friend" anyone would be lucky to have. The death of "---------------" and his request to Harry, to take the body... review »

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is, without a doubt, the best book in the series so far.

The plot is much darker than the first three books, but the excitement reading the book brings is just as marvelously thrilling.

This is the largest (thickest) book which J. K. Rowling has set in the Potterverse to date, and every single page is fairly bursting with magical adventure.

While this series is definitely NOT recommended for anyone under 18, for those adults both young and other who enjoy this type of story, the magic is undeniable.

Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone of suitable age...

This past summer I read all seven Harry Potter. It start when my son brought the 1st book home from the library. I picked it up, started reading and couldn't stop until I finished the series. Goblet of Fire is the 4th book of Harry's adventures as an up and coming wizard. And it is one of the best. If you've seen the movie, read the book.  There is so much you missed. Remember Dobby the House Elf? He's back and he and other house elfs become important this and the following three books. If full of fun, and adventure. And this book is when business with Lord Voldemort really picks up.  Don't sell... review »
