Book Review: Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

Hey Reader, It's Alecia; the editor is coming at you with a book review for Book Review Tuesday. So now all my friends can vouch for me when I say I love the Harry Potter Series... Not so much the author, but I love the books. This week we are diving into book number 4, so get ready to review:

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire by J.K.Rowling

Summary:

The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter – but that doesn't stop Harry from dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through – alive!

Favourite Character: Victor Krum

Krum is the eighteen-year-old Bulgarian Quidditch Seeker, a boy-wonder who attends Durmstrang and is chosen as their Triwizard champion. He is quiet and sullen, but he develops quite a crush on Hermione, and he turns out to be a nice, competent individual. He is probably my favourite character in the book even though he doesn't say much I just enjoy a good background character.

Rating: 8 out of 10

This book does signify a shift in the Potterverse from a lighter tone in the magical world to something much darker. I enjoyed the book but felt like some chapters were rushed to bring in information and a few of the major plot points seemed muddled by jargon but overall I enjoyed reading it.
