I was excited when
Lizzy told me I could talk about one of my favorite books in
the Harry Potter series. Who knows, maybe she'll let me come back one day to
tell you about another book.
Harry Potter’s scar has been hurting
and he’s been having strange dreams. Getting to leave his aunt and uncle’s
house to attend the Quidditch World Cup with his best friend and his family is a
dream come true. After getting there by portkey, Harry can barely get over all
the wonderful aspects of the Quidditch World Cup and the festival-like
atmosphere surrounding it. Quidditch is his favorite sport and there is so much
to take in. But when Voldemort’s dark mark shows up in the sky it becomes apparent
that Lord Voldemort is back and he still has followers. Arriving at Hogwarts
for their fourth year, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are excited to learn
that their school will be hosting the first Triwizard Tournament in over two
hundred years. The contest is only open to those over 17 years old. Students and professors from other schools
come to Hogwarts to see if the Goblet of Fire will pick them to participate. The
names of those who wish to participate go into the goblet, and then the
competitors are announced. Somehow the goblet spits out two names from Hogwarts-
Cedric Diggory and Harry Potter. People are upset and feel that Harry cheated,
but he didn't. Now the tasks start and the danger is real. These tasks will
leave one person as the champion and the stakes are high. Not everyone will get
out alive. Will Harry encounter Lord Voldemort again? Does He have what it
takes to stay alive during the games? Will Harry ever find out who put his name
in the goblet? You don’t want to miss this page turner!
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling is the fourth book in the Harry Potter
series. Harry grows in the book as a person and as a wizard. As a teenager he
goes through arguments with his friends, starts being interested in girls, and
he sees a death which solidifies the gravity of his situation at Hogwarts. Harry
has always been mischievous, but when the time comes to choose between right
and wrong- he always chooses right. I really liked the Triwizard Tournament and
some of the challenges they had- especially the gillyweed. I think that this was the most trying year for
Harry because he finally realized what Voldemort was all about. I would recommend this book to people who
enjoy a mystery, the supernatural, and a lot of action. Fans of Harry Potter
will definitely like this book!
Has anyone else read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? Or have you read another book
by J.K. Rowling? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
