Summary: Amazing!
Review: Harry Poter and the goblet of fire is by all means the best book I have ever read. It is superbly writen, by one of the best known authors ever. As well as being a carry on from the first three books it is also a story of its own. The plot is more complex than the first three books but in my opinion that is what makes it better than the first three.It is also longer which means that you get more fun.I would not recomend this for younger readers because of its length,but all in all its the best book ever!

Summary: The Awesome Goblet of Fire By Daniel Jackson
Review: The book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was avery good book. Harry Potter is not a real character but he sounds looks and talks like a real person. The thing is that he is no normal little boy.He is a boy that goes to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Review: Once again - the magical world is back in our own living rooms. I enjoyed this book as much as its three predecessors. But the playfulness and "lightness" of this magical world is gone - the Dark Magic is finally resurrected and this fairy tale of wizards and witches turnes definitely darker.
Therefore I was surprised to see that this book is still recommended for kids in the age of 9 - 12. Personally, I would not give this book to kids under 12. My tip: take time in the evening and read it together.

Summary: Empire Strikes Back?
Review: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in my opinion is the best book so far in the series. unlike the other three the books ending isn't in its normal happiness. i guess i can best describe it as the Empire Strikes Back of Harry Potter. and i can't help but fear that the next book will also end the same way. the story will end in kind of a shock to most people because those that you thought were your friends turn out to be enemies, but then all four books have been that way when you think about it.well i believe that J.K. Rowling is a great writer. i hope she keeps up the series even after Harry leaves Hogwarts. i am glad i finally broke down and read these books because i can honestly say that they are better than the Lord of the Rings.

Summary: The Best Yet!
Review: This is the fourth Harry Potter book and by far the longest by far. I liked this book a lot. It was the first one of the series that I read. This one made me want to read the rest of them because this one was so exciting! I couldn't put it down.
In the beginning of this book Harry is stuck living with the Dursley's, his only living relatives, all summer long. Then he gets a letter from his best friend, Ron Weasly, inviting him to the Quidditch World Cup and to stay the rest of the summer at the Weasley's house. This is just the beginning of all the excitement in this book.
This year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry's school, there are a lot of exciting new changes, and of course, Harry is in the middle of it all!

Summary: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Review: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, by J.K. Rowling, is fantastic story that reveals many different aspects of literature. First, Rowling uses flashbacks to help the reader hint at Harry Potter's miraculous birth. Next, many of the characters can be considered foils, such as Hermione Granger and Neville Longbottom, Potter and Draco Malfoy. These characters are exact opposites of each other and in Potter and Malfoy's case are there for enemies. Finally, Rowling's use of stereotype categorizes the wizards from the 'muggles.' Rowling has shown through this enchanting tall tale a simple yet delightful story.
When Harry first encounters Lord Voldemort he is an infant in his mother's arms. Voldemort tries to kill Potter, but his mother's love prevents this. Potter often has flashbacks of this moment, wondering what it means and why he gets them. Eventually Potter learns that when Voldemort is near these splitting headaches and flashbacks to his infancy occur. With each flashback the reader can learn more about his mother's dying love for him.
Granger and Longbottom, Potter and Malfoy are all complete opposites.
Granger is an intelligent wizard that really applies herself to her studies. She tries to achieve everything, overwhelming herself with too many classes. But she is naturally the favorite among all of the teachers. Where as Longbottom is constantly messing a potion or spell up, causing disasters in the classroom. He tries very hard but can never quit master what the other students accomplish naturally. Potter and Malfoy are not only foils but also worst enemies. Potter is a popular wizard, not to mention a worldwide hero among the wizards. Potter is allowed to do things that other wizards his age cannot, such as play on the Quidditch team. Draco on the other hand is a bully that is despised by most wizards. He is evil and cannot be on the Quidditch team or participate in the Tri-Wizard Tournament like Potter. Malfoy is and evil wizard compared to Potter who is a good wizard, trying to only perform good clean magic. Foils allow the reader to comprehend to characters at the same time by comparing their differences.
Finally, Rowling shows the wizards' different stereotype upon the muggles, or non-wizards. The wizards in the novel often refer to muggles. They shun upon them, seeing them as unequal. If any wizard has muggle parents they are made fun of bitterly. This shows how sometimes we can stereotype people because of their race or religion. But Rowling uses Hermione as a "half muggle" to show that she is impure in the eyes of others, but can still perform the spells better than most wizards her age.
The use of literary devices in this novel helps the reader understand the book. Flashbacks indirectly help the reader determine what did happen. It allows the story to continue but still get that glimpse of the past. The use of foils also helps better understand the character and their part in the story. When Potter and Malfoy meet we know Malfoy is going to be the antagonist, trying to force Potter to mess. Finally, the stereotypes that the muggles receive from the wizards teach us that our stereotypes are wrong and can hurt somebody. Rowling helped the reader with these simple yet indirect ways to give the readers clues.

Summary: Okay, but...
Review: I loved the book, but the first few chapters just seemed to drag on and on and on...I mean, how much detail of the wizards' tents, manners, attire and Quiddich merchandise can one take? The whole Quiddich cup thing could probably have been condensed into two or three chapters. But I really liked the story once you get past the few slightly dirty jokes there wwre in it.

Summary: Not as Good
Review: This book was missing something, and even today I still don't know what it is. I think the reason I didn't like this book as much as the others is because it didn't have the Harry Potter type adventure. That's what I loved about the other books and it didn't have it the way it used to. I was dissapointed in it.
