Summary: The 4th Harry Potter Book
Review: This book was great, it was just as good as the other ones, and as JK Rowling continues to write, the books keep getting better and better. I like how at the end it leaves ya hanging, anticipating the next book, it was very good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT! A True Must Buy.
Review: This a truly great book that will provide kids with hours of fun. This whole series is absoltuly fantastic and I highly reccomend them. I am not one who normally fanatocally re-reads a book many times but I sure have with this series, reading each book 4+ times. The books will take you to the magic school of Hogwarts where you follow orphaned wizard Harry Potter throught his days of fun and excitement. Harry is selected for the Triwizard tournament, a competition between three schools, and the book follows his exploits during the tournament.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i would give this 10 stars if i could!
Review: This book, in my opinion, was the best of the 4 Harry Potter books out by far! There are so many new ideas in this book, I dont know how J.K Rowling is going to be able to make the other books just as good! I'm sure, knowing her talent, she will be quite able to conjour up new ideas in no time! I dont want to say much about the story line, but I will say this; this story has a mix of everything for everyone! The end of the book is scary, but, the rest of the book is very exciting with twists and turns and irony all over the place! I cant wait for the 5th book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Newer, Better Harry
Review: When I read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I did not think that books could be any better. Now, I think differently. With the new possibilitys..., it increases the creativity of the plot, and the subtle humor is better then ever. I got the book on the morning of the 8th, by FEDEX delivery from Amazon. I did not do anything but read from 11.00 am until midnight. My mother thought I was sick, as I did not eat and did not take any phone calls for the whole day. This is the book that you try to shrug off, but, try as you might, it will not fall out of your hand. Now, when is the 5th book coming?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry Potter Soars Above Expectations
Review: It seemed hard to believe that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire could live up to all of the hype and secrecy surrounding it. But it did. Book Four contains many favorite characters (Harry, Dumbledore, Hermione, the Weasly's, Sirius, etc.) and not-so-favorites (Voldemort, the Malfoy's, Snape, etc.) while introducing many new ones. While the first 3 or 4 pages are just setting the scene, the rest of the book builds in tensions and suspense until it reaches its climax as the end of the Hogwarts draws near. The end is marked by tragedy for Hogwarts (especially Hufflepuff), but is also deliciously scary and full of magic. I began reading as soon as the book arrived on our doorstep, and I couldn't put it down! The 700+ pages may seem intimidating at first, but once you get started, it doesn't seem nearly that wrong, because everything ties together, both in the book and between books. Now the only question is: Can the fifth book get any better than this?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The 4th Harry Potter book is the best of the series, so far.
Review: In my opinion, this is one of the greatest books that I have read since Greg Rucka's, "Batman: No Man's Land."

I read the entire thing in one day. It has wonderful new ideas that prove if there was any doubt about it still, that J.K. Rowlings is a very gifted author and that we should be proud to be able to read her work.

This is a wonderful book and I just hope that everyone else will someday realize that. I for one, cannot wait until the 5th book comes out.

With this book, I became so involved with it that I even started crying at one point. I also laughed out loud at other times. This is not just a children's book. This a book for everyone. I just wish that things like those in her book really did exist.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exciting, Entertaining -- But Also Different
Review: I found "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" to be just as exciting and entertaining as the previous books, if not more so. Rowlings is a great storyteller, and all her familiar trademarks are here: the colorful and eccentric characters, the humor, the playful use of words, the masterful cultivation of suspense. The book is over seven hundred pages long, but at the end you'll be wishing it were longer. There isn't a slow spot in it.

The story is, however, different in some ways from the previous ones. It's a lot darker and scarier, for one thing. Voldemort and his supporters play a prominent role in it, and their malice forms a palpable undercurrent in the plot from chapter one on. By the end of the story, you get to see just HOW evil Voldemort and his minions actually are. And let me tell you, they're pretty evil.

The other big difference is that Harry, Ron, Hermione and their friends are starting to grow up. The boys and girls have begun to notice each other now, and all the familiar problems of adolescence--jealousy, insecurity, fear of rejection, desire to fit in--or stand out--are starting to descend on them. I enjoy seeing the characters evolve in this way, but those who would rather they stay eternal 11-year-olds may be disappointed.

The story is not as self-contained as those in the previous books. Many plot lines are left open at the end, presumably to be resolved in books #5, 6, and 7. If you think you had a hard time waiting for "Goblet of Fire" to come out, wait till you finish it and are left thinking about the next one!

All in all, I highly recommend this book. If you're already a Harry Potter fan you won't be disappointed, and if you're not, reading it might very well make you one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry Potter and the Golet of Fire
Review: Harry Potter #4 was one of the best books in the series I couldnot put it down for the entire weekend because it was so good. It hasa great plot that keeps you thinking through the entire book. The end is very interesting and will make you want to read the next book right away. I loved it and hope that the Harry Potter don't lose their touch once more of them come out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great book!
Review: this one was the best yet! I got it on Sat. and have not put it down yet! It is full of unexpected twists and turns

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just as Charming as the First Three!
Review: ...Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' is the latest adventure of our hero, Harry Potter, and is packed with action, mystery, and most of all suspence. J.K. Rowling is truly a literary genius as she elaborates her magnificent story-telling abilities in this charming novel. Harry Potter rejoins his two best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and they make their way through their Fourth Year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And although filled with humor and friendship, there are some extraordinary changes in the daily life at Hogwarts (that is, more extraordinary than usual). Unlike the first three Books, the Inter-House Quidditch Matches have been cancelled and there is no Cheerful ending. Harry Potter Fans have known for months that deaths would start in Book IV, and Rowling isn't one to lie. Harry Potter is forced to show courage like he has never shown before because this year, the adventure is fraught with danger. Danger that Harry has a secret enemy close by, Danger that Harry wasn't supposed to face, and Danger that Harry doesn't even realize is approaching..... But can he survive?

Come enjoy the exciting Quidditch World Cup, the comedic antics of the Muggle-Dursleys, and the mysterious event being held at Hogwarts this year. I assure you, this Book will not leave you dissapointed.
