Rating: Summary: Best of the series! Review: OK, so I'm not 10, but I still love Harry Potter! I could not but this book down all weekend. It is definitely the best of the series. I love the little imaginitive touches throughout the book. (Especially Omnioculars!) I wish I wasn't a Muggle, because I would love to go to Hogwarts.
Rating: Summary: ROWLING'S BEST EVER! Review: I really thought that this was the best Harry Potter yet. Iread it in only two days and I wouldn't talk to anyone because I wasso absorbed in it. It's really suspensful... [the end] is really a surprise. I have to get the fifth one! I LOVED THIS BOOK!
Rating: Summary: "Great Balls of Fire"... this "Goblet" book is GOOD! Review: "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" may very well be the best book in J.K. Rowling's fast-growing series. The expected limit of only seven books for this fantastic series is almost dissapointing, when one stops to reflect that there are now only three new books to be released in the future. I read "...the Goblet..." in less than 24 hours, and was enchanted every minute. From the very first chapter, I was hooked: Lord Voldemort was back. I was captivated by the idea of a Triwizard Tournament between Hogwarts School, Durmstrang Institute, and Beauxbatons Academy, and when Harry's name was mysteriously chosen by the Goblet of Fire as a fourth contender, I knew that Harry Potter book #4 was clearly the best of the bunch. The bizarre twists and turns along the chapters had me guessing what on earth Rowling would think of next. J.K. Rowling continues to surprise and astound me, and I am positive her next book in the Potter series will be anything but dissapointing! I can't wait!
Rating: Summary: Goblet of Fire: Dark Installment of the Harry Potter series Review: I loved this book. I could not put it down, starting it yesterday afternoon and staying up late into the night to finish it. That said, The Goblet of Fire is NOT the same light-hearted, playful and relatively short story of the first three in the series. From its opening scene, which is not of Harry at the Dursley's house, it departs from the themes of the earlier books of a childhood escape-fantasy. While it veers back to the familiar: Harry with the Dursleys, the Weasleys and with his friends Ron and Hermione, Harry Potter #4 is the first truly dark book of the series. The skeleton plot that directed the first three books is reworked here, in a longer format. A full understanding of the plot, and the various characters' involvements depends on previous knowledge from the first three books, as well as painstaking attention paid to this fourth installment. (several jokes and side comments also depend on having read book 3, specifically) Many more characters are introduced, as well as several more profound issues, such as an anti-slavery movement and European international relations. Like the plot, these isssues are not resolved, but left as part of the essentially cliff-hanger ending. The most comforting part of this book was the return of Sirius Black, who was my favorite character from the third book. I can't wait to read more of the series, to see how JK Rowling deals with the new challenges that she has introduced. In the future installments of the series, I hope that Rowling continues and expands the growing theme and plot, while reducing the length and plethora of characters a little bit, in the quest for a more manageable story.
Rating: Summary: Bring on Book Number 5 Review: I started this book on 12 pm and at 4 pm I begged myself to put it down in order to make it last. But my plea fell on deaf ears, by 11:30 pm that night I was done. That should be your first clue on how good the book is. This book most certainly lives up to the hype and mystery that surrounded it release. J. K . Rowling opens a very clear door into Harry's world. I have never read a book that grabs from the first word and refuses to let you go until the last. Every time I turned a page, my world seemed less real, while Harry's seemed more. Although, this is a 735 page book, it was like "Dances with Wolves" the frist time you saw it. When you turn the last page, and read the last word you'll atomactically keep reading, and when confronted with a blank page, it will take a while to dawn on you that it is blank because the book is done. I have read many books that where intended for children, but has subtle adult overtones, like the Golden Compass, by Pullman. But J. K. Rowlings creation, is for the child, the child trapped in the adult and the adult. This book has made more than one transition, not only it is pivitol to the story line. But it has created a new standard in child fiction that writers will find hard to copy. This is an excellent book in and excellent series, and if schools were smart it would be made required reading for children. I know that everyone who reads this book will agree with me in saying that, 1. the next book should be 1,000 pages, 2. It should be released very soon, 3. That the hype and media demand for that book will break records, that makes this one set by book 4 seem pitiful.
Rating: Summary: the 4th harry potter book Review: this book is so amazing. in the first part it tells how harry has a dream, and wakes up to find his scar burning and his trunk open with everything in it he needs for school the up coming year. Black had sent this stuff to him because he knew harry'd aunt and uncle wouldn't. but thats all i want to tell u because i don't want to give it away!
Rating: Summary: The best yet Review: I am a big Harry Potter fan and have read all 4 books. Each of them were great but this one was the best yet. It had a perfect balance of danger and fun. In each book Miss Rowling develops the characters more and more. None of the characters seem to only to only one dimensional. I love the way she makes all the characters seem human. She is a wonderful writer and will go down in history with the greats like Mark Twain and Jules Verne.
Rating: Summary: Thoroughly enjoyable and exciting! Review: Okay, I'm ready to buy book 5 right now! The Goblet of Fire continues the fun and frights of the Harry Potter series. Longer, and somewhat darker in tone, The Goblet of Fire kept me reading until the book was finished. I didn't want to put it down! I'm a kid that's 42 years old and I can't help but enjoy this series.
Rating: Summary: Totally Captivating and Magical Review: I have Just got done with this book and got captured in the suspense and mystery. The books have once again suspended me in time and in another universe. I would strongly reccomened to people to get this book and read it. They will probably enjoy it as much as I did.
Rating: Summary: AWESOME BOOK Review: This book was so good, It only took me 1.5 days to read it because I didn't put it down. I loved it! It was one of the best books I've read. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone!
