Rating: Summary: Harry Potter and the Goblet of FIre is a huge success!! Review: After reading the first three books and being constantly satisfied with J.K.'s work I expected to read the fourth novel and notice J.K. losing her touch; however, I was wrong. Very wrong in fact. She did not lose her touch at all in fact it seemed that she became better in every aspect of her writing. Instead of a mystery being the plot of the whole novel, like in the first two Harry Potter's. J.K. brought a little bit of mystery into this novel in the beginning, but most people forgot this during th novel due to the amount of action present. These tasks were described beautifuly and the ending to this novel was as shocking as the impact Harry Potter had on the world when it first came out. In this novel friends fight and argue, a tournament from the past comes back to prevent the quidditch season from taking place and old enemies become stronger. THis novel keeps you on your toes till the very end for that I give it five stars.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter, October 2003 Review: I really enjoyed Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling because it is an interesting book and it has a lot of suspense. I especially enjoyed the parts in the book when Harry had to do the three tasks because it was very interesting and fun the way the author describes the different things that are happening. For instance, in the first task, I could relate to how Harry was feeling because of how descriptive J.K. Rowling was of Harry's emotions and I could understand his feelings. Then, in the second task, I enjoyed how the author described the surroundings so explicitly and brought the reader through everything step-by-step so you wouldn't miss a thing. The third task was great because of the suspense and how descriptive the author was, and I think that many other people would enjoy that type of thing as well. In this book, Harry has a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who is very creepy and questionable. I have never had a teacher like that so I couldn't really relate to how Harry felt about him, but it was still interesting to read. Even though the lessons that Harry and his fellow students have from this teacher are really cool, I was still curious about that character. Then, when you find out what happens in the end, all the pieces of the puzzle come together. I didn't, however, like the way J.K. Rowling ended the book because it was disappointing. All in all, I liked this book for it's suspense, drama, and comedy.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter Review: I read this over the summer. And when i usual read over the summer. I always think that it was a waste of time. But it was worth it. I read the harry potter serious series over the summer because my friend said it was good, and my friends dont read that much. Anyway, Its a great book for youths. It has alot of imagination, alot of interesting creatures, interesting events they do. In the fourth book, Hogwarts holds the Triwizard contest. A serious a events that makes students (who represents the schools they go to)go through events that show there skills in varies areas of wizardry. In which Harry potter is one of the students. Who is supposed not to attend the concest because he is to young to participate. So through out the book you read about how he gets through the events. On hardships he goes through. And mysterys of why he's in the contest because he is under age. And the constant feeling that Lord Voldemort is out there plotting of his death. So it has alot of mystery, alot of imagination, and alot of action.
Rating: Summary: Amazed Review: This is by far the best of the harry novels. It has more action and it's a darker and scarier than the first 3. I specilly liked the ending cause who would have though that Voldermort was going to be coming back in this novel, I didn't. Harry shows that he is not a coward and that he is a very brave for a wizard of 14 in this novel. My favorite character is Hermione because without her harry would most likely have died in the first novel. Ms Rowling keep up the good work
Rating: Summary: The turning point Review: The focus of the fourth Harry Potter book is the Tri-Wizard Tournament at Hogwarts in which a champion from each of the three European wizarding schools compete against each other to win. The only problem is that someone has entered Harry's name in the tournament despite the fact that he is too young. It soon becomes apparent that once again, someone wants Harry dead. This book is the turning point, where the happy and relatively carefree lives the characters have enjoyed up to this point are drastically changed by the end of the book. Things will start getting pretty dark now. I enjoyed this book just as much as the first three. As usual, there are some great new characters. Rita Skeeter, the nosy Daily Prophet reporter, is properly annoying and infuriating. Mad-Eye Moody is certainly an interesting character whose ferret punishment on Draco Malfoy was certainly very satisfying, even though it doesn't make sense that he would attack Lucius Malfoy's son when we find out all the facts at the end of the book. Dobby is back, along with a lot of other house elves. But despite Hermione's efforts to give house elves better lives, the creatures are really about as irritating as Star Wars' Jar-Jar Binks. One thing that was never explained was what the visiting students did all year long while at Hogwarts? Did they attend classes with the sixth and seventh year Hogswart students? Rowling is an excellent storyteller, but I often notice "holes" like these. Also, why does Harry end up in the hospital wing at the end of every single book? Still, despite some inconsistencies and holes, the book was quite good with the usual unexpected ending with a twist that you never see coming.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Review: Stacey Williford English 11 1st Period Mrs. FasonHarry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire: It is an awesome chill, hair raising thriller. **** "The pictures in the book were moving." This is a highly typical quote from a Harry Potter book. J.K Rowing not only writes fantasies about flying pictures but a lot to teach and entertain. It helps in way to relate to everyday life. Rowling throws things out in Harry Potter The Goblet of Fire that most kids put up with everyday; bulling, girlfriends, and hard friendships. This book could almost be considered a mystery. "The old scare on his forehead, which was shaped like a bolt of lighting was burning beneath his fingers.." This could only mean one thing, Lord Voldemort has risen again. Harry awakes at the Dursley's house by excitement (he thinks) he' is going to the Quidditch Match with his best friend Ron, then back to school. Quidditch is called off this year back at school with a competition in mind, the Triwizarding Tournament. "Nobody under the age of seventeen will be able to cross the line." Harry Potter is only fifteen, and his name enters the Goblet. With all the publicity and the popularity, a hardship with his best friend Ron occurs. In Harry Potter four, Potter never knowing of his parents and is losing his best friend most all things people can relate too. During the majority of Harry Potter's fourth year experience he lives in a far away land of wizards. during the majority of his years. Hogwarts, a school for young aspiring wizards. The setting is so important because it also give him a place to get away to. J.K Rowling chose characterization very wisely. Ron Weasly portrays a round character when usually a flat character. He is always considered to be a best friend of Potter and now since out of the spot light he is a new person. On the other hand Hermirone Granger (Harry's best "girl" friend) shows another more outgoing side of herself. For professor Dumbledore always symbolizes a wise more grandfather figure for Harry. In this series everyones true colors shine. The plot the author tries to achieve is fantasy/realistic. Harry's name gets put in the goblet of fire. The goblet chooses the names of the champions for the Triwizard Tournament. Only three champions are chosen and some how Harry's name gets chosen. That makes four. There is a spellbound around the goblet so no one under the age of sixteen can put a name in but, once your name gets drawn no change of heart. With his worst enemy, Draco Malloy, breathing down his neck and taunting him with awful signs Potter still processed on with the tournament. Sentence fragments and short slang words make up the majority of the dialogue. "Nah... presents?" A major fraction of the people do not speak properly all the time, if even any of the time. For example, Victor Krum portrays a young teen from England. With his thick England accent it helps create a vivid picture of the character. "Vell, if you see her, tell her I haff drinks." The language and style seem very realistic. Rowling puts a lot of hard works into his novels. A lot of which shows in this one. This books is for people who love to read mysteries. Good luck figuring out how Harry's name gets in the goblet. It will completely surprise you. Read Harry Potter The Goblet of Fire by J.K Rowling and find out.
