Summary: Harry's the MAN
Review: It's no wonder parents and kids will stand in line at midnight to buy this book. Rowling's insight into her readers' interests is incredible. You can read this book purely as an adventure if you're, say, 8 years old, or savor it for its subtle humor and wit if you're between 11 and 71, appreciate its coming-of-age aspects if you're 17 and adolescence is old news, and anticipate with pleasure and a bit of a frisson what You-know-who is up to and how Harry will save the day even if you're only six. The only books I can compare these to, for breadth of appeal and sensitivity, are Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series. If you're not in line right now, find a line and get in it!

Summary: Toptastic!
Review: Well worth the wait! Another winner from J.K Rowling. Don'tlisten to the critics who grumble and whine about the book being toolong and wordy because they're dead wrong (and a bitter little bunch of muggles to boot). The only downside at this point is I have to wait for book five. J.K., need another proofreader? ;-) About the series: All the Harry Potter books are a must for readers young, old and in between. Start with book one instead of jumping into the series with book two, three or four.

Summary: J.K. Rowling does it again!
Review: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was the best yet in the series. I received the book at noon on the release date and couldn't put it down until I'd finished it the next night. Book 4 contains more suspense, more thrills, more chills, and is a bit darker than the previous Potter books; however, it worked really well to establish this point in time as a pivotal point in Harry's life. Rowling does an excellent job of not drawing one storyline out for too long. The suspense is kept for just the right amount of time while various sub-plots interplay. It draws you in to the point where you feel as if you are right there at Hogwarts cheering Harry on. I fully recommend this book, and the entire series, to everyone young and old.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This book was longer and darker than the previous three. That's what made it so amazing! The imagery is wonderfully created and the characters come alive, jumping off the page and into your imagination. This book is a must read, for children of all ages. Adults of all ages too, for that matter! My only complaint is this: now we have to wait for the next one!

Summary: JK Rowling- Please make the next one even longer!
Review: I was prepared to be disappointed, how could she possibly top the first three books? But the fourth Harry Potter book is the best one yet- with incredible characters and a riveting story. I don't want to give the plot away for anyone thinking of buying this book- so I'll leave you with this advice: get it, you won't be disappointed. I hope Ms Rowling has already started the next one...

Summary: Hurrah for Harry Potter
Review: Wow. Hundreds of thousands of people out buying this book like mad, and no one's taken the time to review it yet? So I'm the first. Yahoo. My friend is a middle school science teacher and was responsible for getting me hooked on Harry Potter. The 4th novel was a slightly belated birthday present. But a good one. Ol' Harry Potter has come through again. For those of you older folks who are dumbfounded as to the craze, I urge you to pick up these books and read them. Though aimed at a slightly younger audience, I still love them. And I'm 26. I won't try to summarize the book, since Amazon has already done so. So read the Harry Potter books, and you'll be a better person because of it.

Summary: 4th Harry Potter
Review: I truly loved this book. I did not start reading these books until the third one came out. This one keeps you reading late into the night. There are so many adventures from one chapter to the next that I could not put the book down!
Rating:
Summary: A VERY good read
Review: Don't let its length put you off--the fourth Harry Potter book is definitely worth it. J.K.Rowling's writing is as imaginitive as ever, with the usual plot twists along the way. The only two problems I see are that young children may be frightened by some of the scenes and that the villain "gives away the plot" at the end. I definitely recommend this book.

Summary: ::sniff:: Our little Harry is growing up...
Review: "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is an absolutely brilliant tribute to the rest of the Harry Potter series. However, it is quite different. Then again, different is good. In the book summary on the inside cover, "Goblet of Fire" was described as "pivotal." I can think of no better word to describe it. As the middle point of the book series, it is definitly a turning point, with plenty of changes. Still retaining the original magic that enchanted so many, this book contains more adult humor, utter terror, a bit of romance, and the most utter heart-wrenchings than I've seen in the other books. It is absolutely brilliant. Harry is now 14, and certainly acts like it. He and Ron have discovered girls, which leads to some pretty hilarious scenes. There is also a dream come true: a trip to a professional Quidditch Tournament. And at Hogwarts, a special event has been set up for the school year involving two other schools: a tournament (to bridge relationships and understanding between wizards, ect.) And, most importantly, there are rumors that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named shall rise again... "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is a must-read! It is full of the excitement and adventure we've come to appreciate. Still, Rowling is aging her books along with Harry, so this one may not be as suitable for little children as the original. There is a particularly scary chapter. Unlike the predesscors, this book ends on a more fearful note. A more serious note is taken on, and the end is powerful, beautiful, well-written, but a sad tear-jerker. And Harry IS growing up. But overall, the book is excellent!
