Summary: Series Kicks Off into High Gear
Review: The fourth volume in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, moves the action and drama of the series up several notches while retaining much of the humour. This epic (734 pages and nary a wasted word) by author J. K. Rowling achieves the almost impossible task of living up to the hype. There have been complaints about the violence in this particular volume but it is handled with skill and is a necessary element as the evil lurking throughout the series becomes more palpably real and physical with this story and the results are appropriately terrifying. This is a book to be devoured a number of times until the fifth in this exciting series makes its appearance. I have gushed enough, read it.

Summary: Just keep getting more intriguing and suspenseful...
Review: What can I say??? This book rocks! I read it three times and every time I was captured by its strong suspense and intrigue. When I purchased the first Harry Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," from ..., I was expecting a good book, but soon found that it was an excellent book. And then the following books, #2 and #3, just kept getting better and better. Then when I picked up a copy of the anticipated 4th book, I was blown away. How J.K. Rowling was able to write such a fascinating book was a mystery to me. But hey, whatever she's doing, she's sure doing a good job at it!So here's the verdict - buy this book! You won't regret it!

Summary: Getting better and better....
Review: J.K. Rowling has written another best-seller with this book! The book starts off as the other three books: Harry with the Dureleys before going to Hogwarts. However, this book turns to some more serious issues, such as jealousy and "rights" and even death. This book definitely is darker than the other three books. However, the darker parts of the book do not occur until the end, where Harry views the past and comes face-to-face with Voldemort. I recommend this book to everyone, but I question if some younger children are ready for two dark parts of this book: death and murder.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Review: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is an amazing book. I think it is J.K. Rowling's best book out of the series yet. The book is so descriptive and action-pakced that it keeps you on your toes throughout the whole thing. You feel as though you are taking the adventures with Harry and his friends. The plot is beyond anyone's wildest imagination. I would highly recommend purchasing this book.

Summary: This one's my favorite
Review: When I heard about the Harry Potter hype I just laughed it off as another fad, like slap bracelets or tickle-me-elmo's. But then, slowly enough, people I knew were reading Harry Potter. One of my friend's mother's ran out and bought the second book the DAY it came out on hard cover. She usually heads straight to the library! Of course, I kept shrugging it off... flipped the channel when the "midnight sales" were on the news, but when I realized I had to read these books were when I was babysitting a while ago. The young girl I babysit for asked me to read her Harry Potter. Nights after nights we went through chapters and chapters and pretty soon I found myself looking forward to reading them as much as she was. Well... eventually, I headed down to the library and borrowed my own copies and read them all. Well THAT's what the big deal was about. I've never heard of anyone with such an incredably creative and intriguing mind. The books are ALL just wonderful, intricate, interesting creations. They go into so much detail about the wizarding world and how things are... and of course about those horrible Dursley's that any respectable Harry Potter fan despises. JK Rowling created her own little world and then invited us all in through writing these books and I am never one to turn down an invitation! However, for those of you, especially parents, worried about the "satanistic" wizardry, calm your fears, there is nothing remotely satanistic or immoral. These books show wonderful examples of courage, bravery, comradery and all the virtues you could ever want in your children. Once you go beyond and imaginative world of wand waving, you get to the pure foundation of the novel. Friendship, heroism and adventure. And really, what American or Brit, or any other nationality or religion could argue with that?

Summary: I think J.K Rowling books are cool.
Review: Harry Potter is the first book I have ever WANTED to read. I think they will stay my favorite. I have just finished reading the 4th book (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and now I am waiting for the 5th book. What to do now, NOTHING can be as good as Harry Potter. Malfoy Stinks... Potter Rules... GO GRYFFINDOR !!!

Summary: Children reading???
Review: So many people fight the "Are Harry Potter books satanic" fight that they overlook all the children who've turned off their televisions and video games and are immersed in a book that looks to the casual observer as imposing as Moby Dick. I was just amazed when I learned that every kid I ran across had read every word of this 734 page book. This is what parents and educators across America have been searching for for years, a book that kids can get as excited about as the next release of a video game. I think that Rowling's books are the best thing to come to America in a long time.

Summary: You'll find better
Review: I can't tell you how amazed I am at how the kids I have taught have grabbed hold of Harry! These are well-written, and intensely exciting. Far better to read HP than most of of the other boy-hero books. And the usual lot: Goosebumps and the rest are just a literary waste of time. However, I'm disappointed in some of the more diabolical characters. Be sure to discuss this with your more impressionable children. In all, the Harry Potter books are intelligent. For the kids who think the Babysitters Club or Goosebumps are the best the world, start with Harry. Then work your way over on the shelf to read the Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis, and for real depth of plot and storyline, see JRR Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." Due to the heavy commercialization of the HP books, I doubt HP will make into the ranks of classic books. They'll be, sadly, too diluted with pop-culture to make it. But for today, they'll serve as a nice segue into the classics. Buy it, but with the caveat there are better books in this genre.
