I remember when I read number 3 I thought it was absolutely one of the best books I have ever read. But this one takes the entire series to a whole new level. It had the most amazing twists and turns. It kept me up until 2:30 a.m. then I decided that I had to go to bed. It is a bit dark in places, but instead of being just the middle book in a series it is just the beginning. If the next three are anywhere as good as this one we should all pre-order them now. This is the best yet and they will only get better.

I think people like it because it's a longfairytale. You can buy it I just don't recommend rushing out to get it. So I do think people who like fairy tale and adventure/mystery should get this book. Otherwise I don't recommened it at all. I've read many many other books and this isn't one of my favorites. You can get it, but good luck with liking it!
Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: Not the greatest... Review: Well, I read the fourth one and it's not as good as the other three...First of all, I think the characters (especially Hermione!) were very flat and didn't have much "life" in them and the writing was very repetetive...especially like in every paragraph "Harry, Ron, and Hermione..." That annoyed me a little. Also, there was a lot of action but it wasn't gripping or suspensful, and the writing was a little more adult. I didn't find the book up to her level of writing ability. It's getting flat. It's getting old. Voldemort is getting a little like in a cartoon for four year olds where he speaks of all these evil plans in a really cheesy way. I've read better and I've read worse. Liked the other three better.

Review: This was by far the best of all of J.K Rowling's book's on Harry's adventures. Before reading, I had tried to predict the story line using previous information from the other books. But after finishing the book in less than a day, J.K Rowling proves that trying to predict the story line is as accurate as Professor Trelawney's predicitons. (with one known exception) Whether you are starting pre-school or graduating from college, this book is worth reading. Discover new characters, gain insite into existing ones. Some major/minor plot twists to keep you in the story until the end. What are those strange noises from Fred and George's room? Is love in the future for Harry? Read this wonderful book and find out the answers to these and many more questions!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: The Best So Far Review: This book has so many twists and turns that you are on the edge of your seat the entire time. I love the way J.K. Rowling uses bits of her past Harry Potter books to weave into the latest story line. I can't wait for the next installment!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: The best way to spend time if you have 7 free hours. Review: I couldn't put it down. Actually, if I'd had a streach of time uninterrupted, I could have finished it in 6 hours. It's quite possibly one of the best books I've ever read. Wait, no, it IS the best book I've ever read. J.K. ranks right up there with Brian Jaques and Anne McCaffery and Orson Scott Card. I think she might even write books that are better than 'Ender's Game', 'Enchantment', and 'Ella Enchanted'. She faaaaaar surpasses anything in the Redwall series and that says a lot. I loved the book mostly because it was so life-like. You can read it and think 'yeah, this could happen except for the fact that there's magic'. It's an extremely enjoyable book. Well worth your time and I highly reccomend it. It's certainly apporpriate for all ages with swears used about 3 times in the book. No parental discretion material makes for a great book and that's exactly what we have here. Right now, I'm reading it aloud to my mother. She likes them almost as much as I do.

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Great! Review: "The Goblet of Fire" absolutely lives up to the rest of the "Harry Potter" series. These books are a great way of getting children and even adults involved in reading. They are not too elementary for an adult to read them, but still easy to read and understand for children. The Goblet of Fire is full of adventure, keeping you on the edge of your seat. I stayed up until about 3:00 in the morning reading it, and finished the second day I got it. Judging by the end of "The Goblet" I can tell that the fifth book will be one of the best. I just wish I knew when it will be released!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Keep 'em coming! Review: Rowling is honestly the best thing since C.S. Lewis and Seuss! The plots in the Potter books are getting more elaborate and darker as Harry gets older.... Imagine what he'll be getting into his 6th year? Anyone who doesn't enjoy Book 4 hasn't read any of the rest.... Remember... It's a series! Don't pick it up unless you already have or fully intend to read the first three!
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: a DEFINITE change of pace Review: This book, this "pivotal novel" in the famed and very popular harry potter series, made me laugh out loud, made me cry, and actually made me gasp. J. K. Rowling uses so much foreshadowing that i couldn't put the book down....especially near the end. The amount and rate of suspense contained in this novel is incredible, and it has certainly lived up to EVERYONE'S expectations. Under definite pressure and strain, J. K. Rowling has managed to produce yet another thrilling adventure for Harry, Ron, Hermione (pronounced HER-MY-O-NEE, as we find out somewhere in the middle of "the Goblet of Fire) to act out for us, while making us feel like we're a part of it. It's hard to believe that you're not standing at platform 9 and 3/4, leaning casually through the wall to catch the Hogwarts Express with harry and ron. I, as a 17 year-old avid reader of Harry Potter, thought that this book had the most plot to follow, and the most emotion (for the reader) compared to the other books. Rowling has lived up to her prevous books, and has possibly even surpassed them with this latest installment. She builds up so many stories at once that the reader is constantly kept busy trying to remember what happened last in each successive plot. I loved this book, i think it is the best in the series so far, despite the fact that it was considerably darker than the rest. The mention of various dark arts are probably mentioned more in this book than all the others combined, but with Rowling's humor to soften the blow, the story keeps us not only hooked, but entranced. Rowling's new characters and creatures (cough, HAGRID) made the story that much better....Dumbledore kept me laughing also...i won't give any of the plot away, but i will leave you with these last words: This book will bring out your sense of humor, along with your sense of foreboding -- basically, you won't be able to put it down until you've read the last word on the last page :)
