Book Reviews of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)
Book Review: The best Harry Potter yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here in the US we were terrifeid it would be retitled Harry Potter and the Really Hot Cup, but...This book is the fourth in the Harry Potter series. It is easily the best of the lot. However, it is probably too intense for the younger readers that have enjoyed the earlier books. I would not recommend it for any child under the age of ten. Older children are in for a genuine treat. It is well paced, with the mixture of adventure, suspense and whimsy that characterized the earlier books. The size of the book, 734 pages, is less of a problem than might be expected. Nothing is wasted in this book, there is no literary fat. The size is actually nice as it simply means less time spent between finishing this book and waiting for the next one to be published...
Book Review: Definately lives up to all the hype! A great read.
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is perfect for even the most boring muggles. Harry and his pals continue their fantastic adventures and battle the evil Voldemort once again. This book may be more appealing to older readers as it features some more complex ideas than previously and the irony and more subtle humour may well be missed by the younger readers. Furthermore, the book is very large, 600 pages, and some may be off put by this. However, reading Harry Potter is never a chore, and the more pages it has, the longer the excitement lasts. Overall, Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is a great read, a novel, and a hero, that truly grows with it's readers. A must read book for anyone between the ages of 5 and 100!Book Review: Absolutely Magical!

Summary: 5 Stars
Harry Potter. Well I guess that everyone's fed up with reading reviews that say it's all excellent, but, sorry, here comes another one. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" does of course have all the great aspects of all the previous books. I won't go too far into them because you already know all the words, but just to refresh your memory... enthralling plot... characters which really seem alive... good versus evil...etc. There are some differences between this book and the last three. Personally, I loved the fact that the book was so much longer because it meant extra Harry Potter (I'm probably starting to get boring round about... now.) I found a disappointing lack of Quidditch..., but the main difference is that the whole attitude of the book is older. Don't let that put you off, because I think that the strategy of aging with the audience adds to the believability personal closeness of the story. Love interest exists, but in different ways than I had thought it would appear. None of the three main characters end up with who I thought they would (but maybe later?)... The humour is also far more adult (I mean, how else can you interpret the mention of inappropriate charms on a goat?) and I found this book not only more scary but much more funny. I found a lack of those clever little details such as the Mirror of Erised which was in the first book, but then maybe I haven't looked enough yet! The entire phenomenon is getting more dangerous, not just because of the Dark Lord, but each book increases in its adictiveness. This book will not cure a Harry Potter craving, as the end of the book (appropriately called "The Beginning") leaves you as captured by the plot as ever, and, of course, I'll complete the horrific clich?s for you, leaves you dying for more.Book Review: Another masterpiece from J.K.Rowling!
Summary: 5 Stars
The time is 8:40 pm on the 8th of July and I have just finished reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I am going to review this book (well, tell you what I think of it) but first I would like to aks if anyone knows of anybody who finished reading this book before me who got it this morning, I started reading this book at aproximately 11 am and read non-stop all today (apart from lunch and dinner). I am VERY pleased with myself for this...Anyway, like I said in my title, 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' is an amazing book and has lived up to its predecessors. I have read and loved all the Harry Potter books and I am a great fan of reading. There aren't many books that could have kept me reading for a whole day non stop however - the only other one I can think that could do this are any of the Redwall books written by Brian Jaques and books written by Tamora Pierce (tales of Allanna's and Daines adventures). I enjoy Harry Potter books so mcuh because i can get so easily into the story and plot. I love all the characters in the books and the plot is so interesting and detailed from the first paragraph that I can barely put the book down once i have started. I am very grateful to J.K.Rowl;ing for making this book so much longer than the others because, I get through good books at a rate of knots. Looking back, I should have saved the book, not read it all at once but nenever mind. Some people might be put off by the books size but if they are then they are missing out on a lot because it is a brilliant book. Some people might also think that the book will not be interesting all the time because it is so long but they are also wrong. 'Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire' is an amzing book and I would reccomend it to everyone. I can't explain why I, and millions of people around the world, enjoy these books so much, they are just amazing and I can't put it better than that. I am reccomending this book to anyone who can read and if anyone doesn't read it they are missing out hugely. I can't wait for the next part of the series to be published, even though it will be a long wait and I am looking forward to the film... Bye!
