Summary: Best book ever!
Review: This book is the best out of the series! Everyone was right about it being darker, but it certainly was good. Little kids might think twice about reading it, some of the things that happened concerning Lord Voldemort and Wormtail are gruesome. They were wrong about it being 752 pages, it's 734. The book was so good, I read it in a day. And I re-read the end again and again and again! I can't wait for the fifth to come out, I'll pay whatever price necessary to get it the DAY it comes out. I was really excited when I read the part about LV (the pot thing), and the Death Eaters, especially the parts with Albus Dumbledore. He and Harry are my fav. characters.

Summary: The Real Message of Harry Potter
Review: The latest Harry Potter tale is just as compelling and imaginative as the ones that preceded it, full of creative twists and turns. But like the others in the series, "The Goblet of Fire" is not primarily a book about witchcraft, except for its delightfully peculiar setting. It is a book about life, and how it can be at turns both exhilerating, satisfying, terrifying, confusing or sad. It is also a book about choices, friendship, loyalty and great personal courage. The popularity of this series is testimony to the great longing of today's children to make sense of the things that happen to them in life. J.K. Rowling joins the ranks of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Susan Cooper in reworking the deep myths of traditional folklore to meet this search for meaning and to help readers sort out the critical issues of good and evil that confront them at every age of life.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Review: I must admit, I was very excited to recieve and read this book. But when I finally finished, I knew something was different about it from the other books, and that was that it had a sad, gloomy, depressed attitude from the first page. There were no real wisecracks from Fred and George Weasley, no comments from Ron, etc. Yes, someone does die, and I was pretty sad when I found out who it was, because I got to know him/her pretty well during this book. One big dissapointment was no Quidditch, except for the Quidditch World Cup which hardly lasted. I have a certain feeling that the books 5,6,and 7 might continue in this depressing manner, which I think could very well ruin the series. Overall, this was might least favorite in the series, being 734 pages of gloom. But if you like those type of stories, you'll love this book.

Summary: Go Harry Potter!
Review: This has definetly been the best book in the series so far! It was full of action and adventure. The plot was really good, because it had many little twists to it. I was a little disappointed that Cho and Harry didn't get together, but everything else was great!

Summary: All it was supposed to be
Review: Rowling still has her magic in this 734 pager, probably the pivotal book in the series. The story definitely becomes darker (there are a few deaths), as she has warned it would, and because of this and its length, one might want to hesitate before reading it to the very young (5 or 6 years old). However, it is still a wonderful book, and Rowling pulls off another completely unexpected ending. I will not give specifics as to the plot - I will leave it for you to read, but I will say that Rowling does begin to wander into the realm of love/hormones, and does so rather successfully. Overall, I would highly recommend it to anyone who read the first three - I finished it within a day of getting it. Oh, and you might want to look at the English version at amazon.co.uk - the cover is much better.

Summary: Potter still packs a punch
Review: I am 34, too old to be reading this series. I read the first book because I liked the characters and enjoyed the plot. I don't have any more excuses for reading these books. I read a lot as a child and I would have enjoyed these stories much more then. Yet, the series is good enough that it continues to hold my interest. The writing is predictable now, but the story still remains a surprise and there was only one event in #4, HP and the goblet of fire, which I had predicted. So, overall, I was very pleased with the book and think it is great if these stories hold the interest of any children. I heard the story would be much darker than the others and that was not true. However, the end of the story suggests why future books may be darker. But, cleary Rowling is writing to delight, not to scare.
