Book #50 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K Rowling


Progress Book #23.57 of 100

This has always been my favorite book of the series.  Everyone is happy and even though there are dark forces, it’s a good year for Harry at least until the end of the book.  The novel starts with Harry at home with his Aunt and Uncle just waiting for Ron’s invitation to go to the Quidditch World Cup.  Once the invite is received, Harry just waits for Ron to come pick him up.  As Ron, his father and twin brothers arrive unexpectedly in the fireplace chaos ensues.  One of the twins “accidentally” drops a candy which causes Harry’s cousin Dudley’s tongue to grow five feet.  They needed someone to test the candy and felt Dudley deserved to be the guinea pig.  Fred and George are easily two very likable characters.

At the Quidditch World Cup the Dark Lord’s mark thrown up in the sky causing panic.  The ministry quickly says it’s nothing to worry about and refuses to believe Voldemort has returned. 

Back at school it’s an exciting year for Harry and his friends since Hogwarts is hosting the Triwizard Tournament.  Harry is entered into the tournament and has to compete against Viktor Krum from Durmstrang, Fleur from Beauxbatons and Cedric Diggory from Hogwarts.  The tournament has dragons, mermaids and a maze.  Like I mentioned above most of this story is during a happy time of their lives.  Harry has Sirius as a father figure and Ron and Hermoine doing everything they can to help Harry prepare for the tournament. 

I’ll give his book an A 96%
