Hello again all, I meant to post this yesterday but I got so caught up in my reading for school that I didn't have a chance. Goblet of Fire is the 4th book in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Visually it is stunning and much thicker than any of the other books so far (the cover I have has Harry being chased by a dragon who is guarding a golden egg (that's important later on in the book, NO SPOILERS) and it's beautiful!) But enough about the appearance of the book.
The story itself starts, much as it has done for the past 3 books, with Harry's horrible relatives at Privet Drive. Everything seems as if it's going to be business as usual until a letter comes from Harry's best friend Ron inviting him to go to the Quidditch World Cup with them (Bulgaria vs. Ireland, no I won't say how it ends, you have to read the book) Everything's going swimmingly until a strange mark appears in the sky, the mark of the Dark Lord, the one most often left by his Death Eaters in the wake of an attack. Things happen, they're not too important, but soon everyone is packing off to Hogwarts again for their 4th year. Between a dangerous tournament fir inly the best and brightest students from 3 schools and a crazy ex-auror Defense professor, will Harry have a quiet year? Of course not. As for what happens in the end you'll have to read to find out!
This book is poignantly, brilliantly written with plot twists every step of the way that will keep you guessing and the magical adventures along the way will keep you hooked and leave you wanting more. You'll laugh, you'll be scared, you'll fly with dragons and you'll love every minute of it. Speaking of laughing I wonder if Draco's father every found out about his little run in with Moody...(I will say no more, you have to read it) I'll try and post again soon...probably on the 5th book (the longest of the lot interestingly enough)
