Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (4)

I can never find a boring or uninteresting moment in The Goblet of Fire and I never get sick of reading it again and again as it's so easy to lose myself in Harry Potter with the astounding events and distinctive characters.Anyone who hasn't read up to The Goblet of Fire should definitely re-think that decision as this is the book where it all changes and it's then impossible to not continue reading the rest of the books.

These audio books are amazing! My sister has MS and struggles to read books due to the MS, but she LOVES Harry Potter. When I told her that the films do not have the same details that the books have she was very disappointed that she was missing out and so she started the first book but only managed a few pages over a week. She felt like the extra details were hidden secrets never to be revealed to her . . . Until now! The unabridged cds read by Stephen Fry are AMAZING! All the extra bits from the books are now reachable for my sister, who listens to them when driving. Only problem is that now she keeps highlighting areas where the film is not as thorough as the books! Thank you #StephenFry for doing such a wonderful job bringing all the different characters to life for her.

The Goblet of Fire is the fourth book in the Harry Potter franchise. It is, by far, the longest up to that point, and overall, the second-longest of the series. So, for those who have only seen the movies, the novel has a lot more content and has a much different pace than the movie adaptation. The main storyline that was removed to make the movie was Hermonie's quest to liberate the house elves that work in the Hogwart's kitchen. Also, there is a lot more backstory about the death eaters and about the events revealed at the end of the movie. Also, as I said, the pacing of the events in the book is a lot different than the movie. In the book, there is a lot more time devoted to the quidditch world cup, and a pretty hilarious beginning in which the Weasley's come to Privet Drive to fetch Harry. The selection of the champions does not start until about 1/3 of the way into the book, and the tournament takes place with months between the tasks. There are also some things from the book (like how Harry gets the Gillyweed) that are changed from the novels, and things that were dropped altogether from earlier films (like Hermonie's teeth) are resolved in this book. And, there are a lot more to Rita Seeker and Hagrid's story arcs in the book than were shown in the movie. The book is a lot darker than the previous three novels. Of course, Rowling wrote them with the intention that the kids reading the books would age with the characters, so this one is more suitable for those in the 13-14-year-old range than those who are 10 years old. While the book is long, about 750 pages, it still reads fairly quickly like the other novels do. If you have good reading comprehension skills and read fairly quickly, you should be able to get through it in a week, give or take, depending on how much time you have to devote to reading. If you can devote a couple of days to it without stopping, you can probably finish it in that amount of time. Overall, the book is very good, and while technically a kid's book, can be enjoyed by kids, teens, and adults. Even those who were adults when the books first were published. The themes about good vs. evil, friendship, loyalty, and heroism are timeless and certainly have wide appeal. If you have only seen the movie and love it, you will probably love the book too, and get a much fuller version of the story. It is definitely worth the read.

This is the 4th book (out of 7) in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Some people think that they've come up with a good reason for not reading Harry Potter books. I do not find their reason compelling. You're missing out on sentences like "Dudley had reached roughly the size and weight of a young killer whale." Your loss. There may be spoilers below. You've been warned. Continue reading at your own literary peril. This book has everything. We're introduced to portkeys which are used to great effect at least twice. We also meet Viktor Krum, a champion Quidditch seeker. We encounter Veela (apparently the Kardashians are half Veela). We discover that Leprechaun gold is a form of wizarding world Bitcoin. House elves are to Harry Potter what droids are to Star Wars (Rebels). We discover why Rita Skeeter bugs the heck out of us and why she's always "buzzing around". Professor Snape is still not the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher (nor is Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody (who somehow has encountered the Borg in Harry Potter's world)). A friend told me he knew a man with a wooden leg named Moody, so I asked him, "What was the name of his other leg?" We get to see the first Triwizard Tournament in 700 years. We find out who put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire. Hagrid has a patchwork quilt on his gigantic bed. Don't mess with mother dragons. If you get a golden egg, look and listen to it closely. Sneakoscopes aren't everything they're cracked up to be. Sometimes Dobby's eyes leak with happiness. Giants have a bad rap in Harry Potter's world. This include taking half measures with people like Hagrid and Madame Olympe Maxime. Goblins have a gambling syndicate. They'll break your legs if you don't pay your debts. Bartemius and Barty are two different people (even though they're related (father and son)). Dumbledore speaks Mermish. Harry is put on a high moral fiber diet. The third task in the Tournament was amazing. Voldamort was a really ugly baby. Even his mother couldn't look at him. His appearance was a riddle. Wormtail was not very handy. Can you apparate if you're a gorilla, orangutan, or chimpanzee? Voldamort has problems letting go of petty offenses. "I do not forgive. I do not forget. Thirteen long years ... I want thirteen years' repayment." Voldamort is back in a physical body. The next three books will respond to this. "I remember only forcing myself, sleeplessly, endlessly, second by second, to exist." A lesser villain would've just given in. Bertha Jorkins was a veritable "mine of information". A mine is a terrible thing to waste. Voldamort's choices always come back to haunt him. Including the fact that both his and Harr...
