Summary: I wish there was 100 stars to rate.
Review: I heard about "The New Harry Potter". I was excited but I was expecting the same schoolyear theme, Quidditch matches, escaping the Dursleys, etc. Wow, how wrong I was. From the beginning the h aunting tale unfolds into a work of art no other could match. J.K. Rowling has done it again, with each book getting better and better. As I finished, I gave a sigh and woshed for more. It was a big thumb up!

Summary: A muggle's opinion of the best book ever.
Review: From the thrilling first chapter to the last chapter, "The Beginning," Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the best book ever. J.K. Rowling started this book off with a bang. She manages to bring up characters from previous books such as Dobby, Sirius, and Myrtle. From an exciting Quidditch world championship in the beginning to a death of a character who has become much-loved in the end, this book is jam-packed with excitement. You learn, in one of Harry's classes, about three unforgivable curses. These curses are taught in his defense-against-dark-arts class. The lessons are as surprising as the new teacher. Many hidden pasts are revealed in this book, including Snape's and others, in an exciting new Harry Potter adventure. The only problem with the book is that Rowling starts the next book at the end; that leaves us to wait another year to find out what happens next...

Summary: The Biggest Waste of Ink for Centuries to Come
Review: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is one of the mostinappropriately vivid childrens texts that I have ever laid eyes on.The story starts out in Potter's relatives home the Durselys, with whom I greatly sympathize. First off, the extremely discriminatory Ms. Rowling has to repeatedly point out young Dudley's weight problem in a humorous manor. If someone is unfortunate enouph to be that obese, I do not believe it should be pointed out in such a way. Harry decides to join his friend Ron Weasly and his family to view the Quidditch world cup, a sporting event for wizards that also turns out to be extremely violent, not to mention pointless... Sure you may think this story is amusing right now, but when Voldemort finds a way to get to us muggles, you won't be laughing. Be warned this is not just a story, it is reality, except in real life there is no Harry Potter to save you.

Summary: Yet Another Anazing Harry Potter Tale
Review: Wow! As an adult reader, the first time I picked up the first book, i was a little embarassed to be reading a children's book. But since that first chapter in Sorcerer's Stone, I have been hopelessly hooked. I had Goblet of Fire on order for months before it came out....and the suspenseful wait was much worth it. I took my time with the book...I read it in 4 days. And every chapter of the book was just as exciting as the last. I was so sad to see the book end, because there are so many unanswered questions...what's going to happen to Harry, and the world as he knows it. Hopefully JK Rowling won't make us wait too long to find out!

Summary: "The Empire Strikes Back" of books...
Review: I just finished book 4 approximately 10 minutes ago, the events of the novel are still fresh in my mind. Having said that, this novel really does make the first 3 look small in comparison. Without giving away too much, this one truly is a pivotal novel in the series and it seems like Rowling has finally gotten her mythology set and in high gear. This novel is not much darker in tone until the ending which is almost completely devoid of her trademark comedy until the last couple pages. The ending is brutal, scary, and exciting. The last few pages hint at more developments to come but pretty much leave the reader in the dark as to what the next step will be for the heroes. By the ending you are waiting for the eventual announcement of Part 5 and the continuing story of Harry and his arch nemesis Lord Voldemort.

Summary: Just another Harry Potter lover, age 14
Review: Well, what is there to be said but that J.K. Rowling is one ofthe best writers to come along since C.S. Lewis. All of the Magic,Mystery and suspense is truly the key to this captivating series of books. And with the release of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" I more than ever am reassured that many readers, young and young at heart, truly believe in the land of Hogworts, platform nine and three-quarters,Quidditch and Diagon Alley; the world of HARRY POTTER.

Summary: The Best So far !
Review: This book definately erased any douts in my mind that the Harry Potter series would ever be less than amazing. The intenstity of the Harry-Voldemort duel was astounding. How Rowling thrills you at the end of the story leaves you begging for the next book. How Rowling really describes what is going on in Harry's mind when he asks Cho Chang to the Yule Ball really shows how good a writer she is. When she compares the Weaslies with the Durslies really makes the difference between wizards and muggles clearer then I thought. How she makes Bill Weasley a punk and a prefect/head boy is really iteresting. I recomend this book to anyone, either a Harry Potter finatic or not.

Summary: Amazing!
Review: WOW. That is a word can't even nearly encompass all that isHarry Potter. I'm a... fan of this series. I have read allthe books and some twice. I bought #4 from Amazon.com and it arrived the day it came out. I finished it 4 days later. The world that Rowling conjures up is so perfectly detailed that when I was done reading the book I could hardly believe it wasn't all real. This is the best book I have EVER read. Yes, it is much darker than the others in the series but it made it all the better. The end left me so engulfed that I can't stop thinking about it. All the new adventures really were heart-stopping. I can't say much about the plot because I dont want to ruin it for those people who haven't read it yet. But I can tell you it was thoroughly exiting. I can't wait until the 5th book comes out. Until then I plan on busying myself with reading all the books again and again, and again, and again....

I think that the books in this series are for ALL ages and that it should be shared as a true treasure of literature for years to come.

Summary: The Best Yet
Review: This book is the best yet. I've read all the other Harry Potter books. It may be very long, but it is enjoyable. I can't wait to read the 5th book. I don't care how long it is. Even my mother likes Harry Potter. Even adults will like this very likeable boy.
