Another amazing novel by JK Rowling. Goblet of Fire again bring us into the Magical things that can happen at Hogwarts. In this novel we are introduced to new characters, the Quidditch world cup, and the Tri-wizard tournament. The majority of this novel revolves around the tournament. I find at times it drags in the middle after an amazing into with the world cup.

Another amazing novel by JK Rowling. Goblet of Fire again bring us into the Magical things that can happen at Hogwarts. In this novel we are introduced to new characters, the Quidditch world cup, and the Tri-wizard tournament. The majority of this novel revolves around the tournament. I find at times it drags in the middle after an amazing into with the world cup. The book overall is quite possible last on my list of Potter books; Sorcerers Stone would most likely be my least favorite however it is the first novel so that would give it the nod over Goblet. While it does have a Great ending this novel does little to advance and already massive plot. Many people often draw comparisons among the Potter series. One of these is that the 7 books can be looked at as one much larger book. If that holds true then this book would be the Middle and it very much reads like a middle book. Amazing beginning amazing ending and just a lot of words in the middle. (show less)

This is far and away one of my favorite books of the Harry Potter Series. Again we are pulled away from the hated Voldemort and presented with a completely new "villain" and the best character in the entire series Sirius Black. While the Potter story mostly turns into a more adult tale in the 5th book this is the first book that has a darker feel.

This is far and away one of my favorite books of the Harry Potter Series. Again we are pulled away from the hated Voldemort and presented with a completely new "villain" and the best character in the entire series Sirius Black. While the Potter story mostly turns into a more adult tale in the 5th book this is the first book that has a darker feel. While the first two books can be viewed as a thorough entrance into Rowling's magical world, this story begins digs more into Harry's personal life and more of his back story. It is a nice look as we have just learned a good deal about Voldemorts back story in the previous book. Over all this is my 3rd favorite in the series behind Deathly Hallows and Half-Blood Prince. Rowling herself has said that both DH and HBP could be looked at as half's of one story therefore one could argue that this is the best stand alone novel Rowling has written. (show less)
