Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Book Review

     Sorry I'm getting this review to you guys a little late. I finished reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire about a week ago.

     This book begins with Harry back at home on Privet Drive with the Dursleys and he gets invited to the Quidditch World Cup with the Weasleys. While there they see some of Voldemort's old supporters called the Death Eaters return. When they return to Hogwarts, they find out that the Quidditch season has been cancelled to make way for the Triwizard Tournament. Where two other wizard schools from Europe come to Hogwarts, where a champion is selected, and they have three events and whoever has the highest score at the end of the three events wins. Dumbledore set an age limit on the Goblet of Fire where people submit their names so only sixth and seventh years are allowed to enter. The Hogwarts champion was Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff  But somehow Harry's name got entered and he was selected to be in the Triwizard Tournament as well. Someone is trying to Kill Harry but who and why? 

     I don't even know where to begin this book was so good. The chapters where the events from the Tournament were so compelling and the last four chapters were so white knuckled. Harry gets transported to a graveyard and he witnesses something. That was one of the most intense endings to a book I've read in a long time.    

     The other thing I need to mention is that I had heard that J.K Rowling kills off some of her characters in this series, while the first three books had no casualties, someone dies in this book. I've been told where I am in the series, I shouldn't get attached to any characters.

    Overall I really enjoyed Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This series gets better and better every book. I'm going to give this book 5 out of 5. I'm halfway through the Order of the Phoenix I promise I won't procrastinate to write a review for it when I finish it.
