The Review:

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth novel in the series by J.K. Rowling, it is a fantastic novel with incredible events and memorable characters. Anyone who hasn't read up to The Goblet of Fire should reconsider their decision, for this is the book where everything changes, and it's difficult not to read the rest of the novels after this.

This book follows Harry's transition into an adult in a more serious tale that brilliantly blends humor and drama. The novel has excellent character development, but one of the main characters will die. When Ron invites Harry to the Quidditch World Cup Final, the book opens with a competition. Ron's father has secured seats thanks to his Ministry of Magic connections, but the celebration is spoiled by some unwanted guests. Later, Hogwarts has another tournament, the historic Triwizard Tournament, in which Harry, despite his age, surprisingly participates.

Simultaneously, as lord Voldemort grows stronger now that his dependable servant, Wormtail, has returned to him, the tone of the novels darkens.

Another fantastic novel, a fitting sequel to the amazing Prisoner of Azkaban, which I adored.

Now, let's talk about something that is confusing, but I forgive it as a reader because it was actually not a bad idea, plus these books are basically intended for kids, and the author just introduced something new to the already expanding universe of Harry Potter, and it teaches the kids some more value of freedom and being born privileged and how to use it in a good way. Dobby now works as a free Elf at Hogwarts, which Harry, Hermione, and Ron discover. They also discover that hundreds of House-elves labor as slaves at Hogwarts. This instantly calls into question credibility. Harry, Hermione, and Ron have all been seen sneaking around Hogwarts late at night. Harry even learns about the underground tunnels in Prisoner of Azkaban. I can't believe they hadn't seen any House-elves during their three years at the school. Until this point, Hermione appeared to know everything there was to know about the institution and its history. Perhaps they were just uninterested and, like many children, had no questions about the domestic assistance that cleaned up after them.

I'm okay with allowing Harry and Ron's characters to explore ethically gray areas, but this setting doesn't feel quite right. Harry, more than Hermione, should have been sympathetic to the suffering of House-elves, given his history. The Dursleys treated Harry like a House-elf when we first saw him in The Sorcerer's Stone, making him to do chores and otherwise keep out of sight. He made a relationship with Dobby in Chamber of Secrets and hence should have had a personal stake in the House-elf debate.

Final Thoughts:

I have to admit that our brilliant author J.K. Rowling has outdone herself once more with another thrilling Harry Potter novel. I finished it in two sittings I couldn't put this story down and couldn't put it down for a second. I also liked the challenging vocabulary since it helped me improve my language abilities in crazy ways and it helped me in my own writing. I hope this post inspires new readers to begin reading the Harry Potter series, and if you enjoy it, you will undoubtedly enjoy Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson book series, which is also a fantastic series.

This is a really well-written narrative. The individual book, as well as the larger overarching plot. The book was fantastic, and it was definitely my favorite story-wise book I've read thus far. However, Prisoner of Azkaban has superior pacing and more exciting stakes and action throughout, making it the series' greatest overall novel. The evolution of narrative into something more fascinating and dramatic blew me away.

Synopsis:

“'There will be three tasks, spaced throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different ways ... their magical prowess - their daring - their powers of deduction - and, of course, their ability to cope with danger.'

The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!

Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter ebooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to readers of all ages. With its message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new readers.”
