If I knew what the book was about I would surely tell you. Alas, Ms. Rowling keeps her stories a mystery, even to her editor, until she's ready to turn in a manuscript!.

Spellbinding Narritive!

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was written by J.K. Rowling. The novel begins with Harry, Ron, and Hermonie going to the Quidditch World Cup. There, the Dark Mark, a sign of Lord Voldermort, appears in the sky. When the children begin school, there is exciting news. This year, the Triwizard Tournament will take place. In this event, two other schools will come, and three students will be selected from each. These champions will represent their school. However, the Goblet of Fire selects four champions, and as most would predict, this fourth champion is none other than Harry Potter. Harry has to face numerous challenges as he gives it his all to win. This novel teaches very valuable life lessons. One important takeaway from this book is the importance of friendship. Harry, Ron, and Hermonie all have their share of disagreement and brief falling outs in the story. For example, Ron becomes jealous of Harry, and Harry becomes very angry with him. Ron was being very selfish because Harry always receives attention. During this period of silence between the two, they both deeply misseach other. Harry does not even want to hear Ron's apology, he just wantsto be friends with him again. Another important theme in the novel is trust. In the wizarding world, it is impossible to trust many people. However, the three friends always remain extremely loyal to one another. They even keep secrets and protect their friend Sirius, who is in hiding. Lastly, J.K. Rowling wanted to demonstrate selflessness. For instance, in the second task of the Goblet of fire, Harry has to swim to the bottom of a lake and rescue his friend. The other competitors have their friends stuck down there as well. Harry got to the hostages first, and instead of taking Ron and completing the task first, he assisted everyone else. He did not go back up until all of the hostages were rescued. He even brought up another competitor's sister. This shows that not everything is about winning; there are other aspects of life that are far more important. The fourth novel of the Harry Potter series is very entertaining, and I liked it very much. This is because the novel includes suspense, plot twists, new characters, and a very compelling plot. This book is so enjoyable because there are so many mysteries unfolding at once, and they satisfyingly connect in the end. Lastly, this novel provides the reader with some extremely important messages. It is a great continuation of the series, and it makes the reader excited to read the fifth book.

This Book is Awesome!!

I just recently started to get into all of the Harry Potter books but the “Goblet of Fire” was just an incredible read! I find the whole Harry Potter series to be super playful and magical so far, but this book takes it to a whole new level. Now that Harry, Herminone, and Ron are growing older and maturing, The Goblet of Fire showcases how they are developing new high school romances and are just growing older in general. This novel transitions from what the series used to be about to now a deeper tone and understanding to what Harry Potter must do to save the Wizarding World. In the book, Hogwarts is going to be hosting a tournament for all different exceptional schools to attend. This competition, known as the Triwizard Tournament, is a dangerous contest which will be announcing winners. There are three different schools competing in this tournament: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Durmstrang Institute, and Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. But, only one champion from each school will be chosen to represent. However, unlike years before when announcing the three lucky contestants to be a part of the tournament a fourth name is called. Harry was chosen to face the tasks of bravery in order to come out victorious. He goes against Cedric Diggory (from Hogwarts), Fleur Delacour (from Beauxbatons), and Viktor Krum (from Durmstrang). Not only does this book show the switch between how Harry Potter and his friends are growing up, it also shows the transformation of tones between this book and the others. I would recommend this book to older audiences because of the more graphic and creepier content this book contains. J.K. Rowling did an amazing job showing the maturity of the characters in this book. Harry Potter forms such great connections with different people during the duration of this novel. Even though Harry is super brave, he can never defeat evil by himself. This book teaches the importance of friendship. This book is filled with so much emotion as Harry competes in the Triwizard Tournament. I am in awe with how each book ties together perfectly with one another and they all connect in different and unique ways. The plot increases dramatically as each chapter goes on. In all, I am totally obsessed with this book along with the whole series! I would totally recommend this book to anyone with a craving for adventure and a bit of mature content!

So Good!

This is my second favorite book so far, the first being the third. The beginning of the book wasn't my favorite and thinking back on it, I don't even really remember it. On the other hand, the ending was amazing. I was in complete shock and I read the last couple of chapters in one sitting because I couldn't put the book down. There is definitely an increase in activity as with all the characters. Also, you learn so much about the plot in general. Definitely one of my favorites right now in the series!

Awesome!

The book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was an amazing book that I would love to read again. In this book, you get to meet a bunch of new characters as well as learning more about the Wizarding World. I think this book is the best book by JK Rowling so far in this series. This book is way more involved than the other books have been. You get to learn so much more about the characters than you knew before and even seem them go through trials and hard times that will melt your heart that will make you want to jump through the pages to give them a hug. Though these are all big reasons on why I enjoyed the book and why you should read it, there are more that I think top them all. One of the major reasons I loved this book was because my favorite character Sirius Black was in it. Sirius Black, Harry's godfather, was there with Harry helping Harry out when Harry needed him the most. Sirius Black was able to give tips and advice to Harry to help him with upcoming challenges that Harry might face. Another one of the major reasons I love this book is because there is so much layering to it. While you read this book, you learn more and more about people and things which leads to many mysteries that the infamous trio has to deal with and figure out. While you are reading, you uncover more and more information that helps the trio solve the mysteries until the final big mystery is solved in the end that will leave you with your mouth hanging wide open. If you haven’t watched the movie yet and are wondering if they should watch the movie or read the book first, my advice is to read the book first. When I started out with Harry Potter, I watched all the movies before reading the books and when I finally started reading the books I was flabbergast that the movies had left out so much stuff and important things. The movies have left out people, events, backstories, and so much more. The books include so much more than the movies and are so much interesting. They teach you so many things and you learn things that you wouldn’t have a clue about if you only watched the movie. This entire book is filled with action, adventure, mystery, sorrow, happiness, fantasy, and more. This book has something for everyone and can be read by all ages. Whether you're an adult wanting to leave this world and travel to a fantasy for a little bit, or a little kid who wants to add a little action and adventure into their life, this book is for you. This book is so good and I would honestly read this book again.
