Summary: Lumos!
Review: Ever since I started reading harry potter, it really seemed as if my world got a little bit brighter. I have never enjoyed a book this much since I've read "The Mist of Avalon" and "The Chronicles of Narnia". The series just get better and better. I just could not put the book down while I was reading it (When I first got hold of the much waited book 4, I was reading it into the wee hours of morning). I think why I enjoyed the book so much is because by this time, the characters have grown on you. They're not just some made-up heroes anymore, they are your friends, and somehow, you sort of feel what they're going through. Of course, amid the familiar settings and personalities, Rowling adroitly introduces new people, twists, and secrets. But don't fret, the same wry humor is very much still there. For those of you who haven't bought the fourth book yet (or *gasp* books 1-3), you're missing something BIG. And it's not just hype either. (I've got a sister who dislike reading and yet I got her to read AND enjoy the book.) So, BRAVA, J.K. Rowling! We cannot wait for the last 3 installments of Harry Potter.

Summary: Go J.K. Rowling!
Review: Harry Potter 4 is out, and the best so far! I would say that if Harry Potter 4 was 1/2 as good as 3, it would be fab! While J.K. Rowling is adding in some great thrilling and 'cool' parts, she is still writing about everything a 14 year old boy would go though; a crush, fights and anything else you could ever imagine. Have you not read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire yet? Do so now! Have you not read any Harry Potter books, if that is possible? Then start reading! You will never want to put down this 734 paged book! (you might miss a good part) Well, this thriller/comedy is full of great parts. You'll love it. I started reading Harry Potter 4 the minute I got it! What more can I say? This bok is fabulous, great, the best, number 1! Is Harry going to go to the ball with his big crush, will he be forced to see the worst? Find out now! Go to your nearest bookstore, or just by it off the net, pay any price! Is he-who-must-not-be-named really back? There's a new reporter in town who might just tear apart people's self esteem! Now, hurry and buy this book before I sit here for hours just typeing away and tell you the whole book! But, no one would ever be able to desribe Harry's adventures as well as J.K. Rowling did! GO HARRY!

Summary: A mixed bag...but overall very good
Review: I have mixed feelings about this book. Overall it is very well written and will appeal to both children and adults. It follows the classic Harry Potter formula of magical mystery. I should have known by now that the "bad guy" is never who it seems to be. Many characters return from the previous books, including Moaning Myrtle and Dobby, who were mysteriously absent from Book 3. As any Harry Potter fan would expect, you get treated to a shocking "revelation" near the end that explains all the mysteries.I have a tiny bit of negative points to express. First of all, it is very tiring to hear about what happened in the past 3 books. The first hundred pages are full of stuff like this so that people who haven't read the previous books can catch up. You absolutely must have read the past 3 books before reading this one, I warn you now. The length of the book is a good point. The goodness lasts longer and it feels truely epic. The previous 3 books now seem small in comparison. The climax of the book when Harry meets with You-Know-Who himself is truely exciting and erases any negative feelings you may have had before. In my opinion, the Goblet of Fire is the second best book of the series (behind the Prisoner of Azkaban). It's an absolute must-read for every human on earth. It's the "Star Wars" of books, and no one whould miss out.

Summary: Meandering, but exciting
Review: J.K. Rowling has done it again. Once again she has gripped my imagination with a book. I thought that she might have overdone it this time (it is 700 pages long), but I found it an excellent book. It was a bit long and meandered on for a bit, but it was varied and funny when it did. Great book.

Summary: Exelent!
Review: I'm a huge Harry Potter fan! This is the best of the seven part series. This book is about the darker side of the magical world. I enjoy that. However, I'll miss the light-hearted personalities of the characters. This is an exelent book for people nine years or older. It may be a bit scary for smaller children. You should read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. If you don't read them in this order, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire won't make sence. Enjoy the book!

Summary: This is the BEST Book!
Review: This is the best book of the 4. Except maybe for the 3rd one... I don't know but it's really good... Whoever you are, you should definately read it! But I think that Harry looks like a girl on the cover, anyway, it's really good. Sirius is the best character, especially when he's a dog! Oh well... Bye bye!

Summary: Fabulous Book!
Review: This is the first time I have read any of the Harry Potter series. I am hooked. I read book 4 first but found it easy to follow what had happened or could easily guess and have started searching for books 1 through 3. I'm so glad I took the chance to see what all the "hype" was. It was well worth it and look forward to reading all of the others whether they already be out in print of those to come. Way to go!

Summary: A winner!
Review: I am a 40-something Harry Potter fan who delights in the irresistible mix of adventure, magical themes and high ideals. This book kept me reading far into the night, terrified at Harry's seemingly insurmountable trials and cheering the good guys. The whole series is excellent entertainment, with the Goblet of Fire the best yet. Bravo, Ms. Rowling! I can't wait to read the next volume.

Summary: SHOCKING!
Review: I should have known... Now that I have finished H.P.4, I can`t slep anymore. Normally, I`m not the trembling sort of person, but (specially) the last chapters put me in an awsome kind of mood. I don`t think this is a book suitable for children as it wasn`t quiet suitable for me either, and I`m a lot older than 10. Although this book put a spell on me like the others haven`t (I didn`t cry reading Potter 1-3) I was shocked by the intense atmosphere of fright spreading from the book. And I should have known this: Finishing number 4 would leave me starving for more, addictedly longing to know wether everything`s going to be all right in the end... Great bok, though...
