The fourth book is obviously better for the older readers: the characters are all maturing, and it has a better plot than the other first three books. Hermione, Ron, and Harry are attending a dance, the portrayal of racism in the book is getting deeper, and yet they still have their adventures where they uncover something new. I enjoyed how wonderful the book was, but it isn't perfect. There are some stereotypes flitting through and there, but it isn't overall the biggest idea people can find. People, who know how big the fourth book is (734 pages), are overwhelmed and don't bother to read it. However they should not be disappointed at all, the book turns out to have an intriguing plot. |

To truly understand the amount of time that Rowling has spent on the editing and writing of this book, one would do well to read it over a few times. Details gone unnoticed during the first read will become more preeminent in the second read, and even more so during future reads. I have yet to read a book in which the plot was not so carefully laid out, yet to find a book which does not so plausibly unravel the sequence of events concerned with the life of a fourteen year old boy. Apart from incorporating a storyline rich in thematic elements with a truly in-depth plot, Harry Potter still holds his aura of magical appeal, as this is easily one of the best books to have come out in a long time. With such vitality, Harry Potter delivers... and scores. |

Harry Potter never knew what would happen his 4th year at Hogwarts. This book is about a middle school aged boy that goes to a magical school. During his 4th year at Hogwarts he gets into very magical situations. Also during his 4th year the Tri-Wizard Tournament is held at Hogwarts. All middle school students wanted! Middle school students should read this book because you won't want to put the book down, it's funny and you can actually see the settings and characters in your head. The theme of this book is friendship. When Harry is in trouble Ron and Hermione care about him. They like to help each other in things. Such as tests or other things. They listen to each other when they have good news or bad news. Of course in every friendship there are their fights. The characters in Harry Potter are very easy to relate to. Such as revenge on your enemies. Or when you and your friends get in to arguments or fights. When you just can't believe what your friends are telling you and you think that they are only telling lies. Or when you miss a friend or loved one and you can't stop thinking about him or her. The setting is a magical school named Hogwarts. They teach spells and do a lot of magic. Also they use flying brooms. Everybody at Hogwarts has wands. Also everybody has spell books to teach them spells and other things to know about magical things. In conclusion I would recommend this book to all people who love reading books about bravery and friendship. I really loved the magical things that happened and really loved the book. Once again I would recommend this book mostly to middle school aged kids. I would mostly recommend this book to middle school aged kids because they can really relate to the characters. Also that they can really get into the story. |

What can I say - only that is was well worth the wait! For all of you who have never read any of the Potter books as if there are any such people, think of these books as a series of magical mysteries. I loved every minute of the audiobook. Man Ms. Rowling really can take you to another world. It's delightful to see how Rowling can stay true to the feel of the previous books, and yet allow Harry and friends to mature. Must say though, this is a bit darker than the other ones, as some well known characters die. The ending of the book is frightening compared to the previous books but is a necessary evil for Harry as the older he gets, the more he learns about his past. I believe Ms. Rowling had warned about the books becoming darker and darker. Can't wait for the next one. Again, and absolute perfect audiobook and Rob Inglis narration only magnifies the book 10 fold with his voice. He makes every character come to life. The perfect narrator. |

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.k. Rowling was not only amazingly written, but had a great plot, was full of awesome surprises, and had an exiting ending. This is definitely a great book for a person that likes fantasy/adventure books. Harry, a brave and determined wizard, Ron, a nervous but funny character, Hermione, an intellectual and nice witch, and Voldemort, a dreadful and deadly wizard are the main characters. The setting is Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardtry, and a strange event is taking placeat Hogwarts this year, but a huge surprise is awaiting everyone, but only one person will witness it... you must read this awesome book to find out! |

This book is good because it is thrilling, adventurous, and because it brings you to a place of wild fantasy. I thing you should read this book because it lets you stretch your imagination. The point of view really lets you know what is going on and is extremely effective. Because it shows how tired Harry gets of being famous. Also how every one acts around him and treats him different. A reoccurring theme I always see is how confusing, awkward, and how important your friend are in your teenage years. The genre of this book is wild fantasy. So those that like to feel like you're in a magical world that anything can happen this is the book for you. |

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth book in the Harry Potter series, is a must read, just as all of the others are. This book may seem kind of long, but the plot and suspense is so great, you really don't even notice.
The fourth installment of the Harry Potter series begins not with Harry, but in one of Harry's dreams, which may or may not be really happening. That's for you to decide. After going to the Quidditch (a wizarding sport) World Cup with Ron and his family and witnessing disaster caused by the followers of Voldemort, the Death Eaters, Harry returns to Hogwarts, his wizarding school and is somehow thrown into a tournament that he wasn't even supposed to be able to enter. He knows that someone who is at least 17 must have put his name in the Goblet of Fire, which draws the names for the tournament. As he tries to find out who might want him killed, he is faced with the challenges that are in the tournament. And who knows? Maybe there will be a surprise at the end. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is my favorite book in the Harry Potter series so far. It keeps you guessing until the very end. I would suggest reading the first three books before reading this one, but I would really like to say that this book is great for fantasy or mystery lovers, as Harry Potter has a lot of both. |

50-some years old, left brained and typically interested in non-fiction, I started reading the Harry Potter books because I admired so that they made kids interested in reading. I believe reading is the key to a child's futures and I wanted to understand the motivation these books were giving young people. So far, I've loved 5 of the Potter books and the 6th one is on order. I also gave the Potter fever to my 74-year-old Dad and brother, a tough 34-year-old in prison who read and then passed them around to other inmates! He said, "Now I see why Mom loved to read." Then I found and read the Wisdom of Harry Potter by Edmund Kern, drawn by the great art on the cover, subtitle and Table of Contents - not to mention Kern's credentials and Introduction. Kern's easy-to-read, educated analysis allows us to relive the stories while seeing how they build confidence and self-understanding through Harry's choices, based on values rather than outside pressure. The Wisdom of Harry Potter made me feel great for "choosing" to delve into Rowling's stories. Mr. Kern deserves 10 stars for sharing his brilliance so delightfully. I'll read Rowling's and Kern's books again! |

In this book, Harry must face all the challenges that the Triwazard tournament poses and he has to overcome overwhelming odds. Harry has to deal with enemies within Hogwarts and he learns who he can really trust. In this book you see Harry mature, as he deals with the pressures of girls and living up to his name. Harry faces challenges in the tournament that not only test him physically, but also mentally. Harry, the protagonist, also must deal with Voldemort (the antagonist) rising to power once again, along with his supporters. J. K. Rowling's use of imagery at the qudditch world cup gives me the feeling that I’m actually there in the large tent and at the stadium, facing all the chaos erupting. Rowling keeps the reader guessing what will happen next and on the edge of their seat. This novel is the darkest one yet, giving insight into the next 3 novels and how they will include a lot of dark magic and Voldemort rising to power again. This book would appeal to children and even adults that would like to channel their inner-child again. Harry Potter is a book for anyone that would like to go for an imaginative adventure and wants an all around good book! |

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the spectacular fourth book in the popular Harry Potter series. However it is also the darkest book of the series so far. This book retains the wild and fun fantasy that makes the world of Harry Potter so fun and original. However this is and remains the darkest book of the series because it is the first of the series to have death as an underlying theme. In this book Harry Potter is about fourteen years old. He is beginning to come into his own as an adolescent. He has his first crush; he starts to rebel against his abusive aunt and uncle and he wants to spend time with his friends. When his friends invite him to the Quidditch World Cup Harry happily accepts, not knowing that this event is going to be the start of how his world will change forever. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is an integral turning point of the Harry Potter series and it clearly shows. The characters show their maturity, and each of them is showing the development of their own individual personalities. They are also showing attractions to the opposite sex in this book as well. The violence in this book is intense for a children's book but it is not gratuititous as it could have been. There are 3 deaths, self-mutilation, and animal attacks but somehow, Rowling avoids having things overly bloody. In conclusion, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is an instant classic. It is sure to surprise and delight many Potter fans for generations to come. The rating that I give this book is 5 stars. |
