What am I going to express about such a tremendously exciting book as this? Only that is definitely really worth the wait! For almost everyone who’ve never read one of the Potter books (could there really be people who haven’t go through a minimum of one?) think about these books being a series of magical mysteries.

It’s life as typical for Harry at the start of the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, that has him spending one more horrific summer along with his hateful guardians, the Dursleys. (Imagine Dudley Dursley on a diet! Try saying that 3 times fast…) Things pick up when Harry goes to the Quiddich World Cup with the Weasleys. And life at Hogwarts is as interesting (and occasionally harmful) as always with it’s oddball kind of students and professors. By nature, there is a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher (my but they do keep going through them, don’t they?) Along the way, we will discover more about other schools like Hogwarts (it’s about time!) Along with a new villain – or do i need to say villainess – is introduced. Somebody who undoubtedly keeps Harry on his toes. All the while Harry and his 2 very best buddies, Ron and Hermione, turn out to be entangled with the mystery of The Goblet of Fire….

With characteristic abandon, Rowling gives you familiar busy backdrop for Harry and friends as she pushes her guy via a series of horrifying encounters, the normal mischief and mayhem, new revelations (and, of course, rousing games of Quidditch)

It’s pleasurable to observe how Rowling can stay true to the feel of the previous books, and yet enable Harry and friends to mature (ex: Because the kids are officially youngsters now, testosterone will begin working for Harry, Ron and Hermione… but they all fall madly in love with the completely wrong people! Harry particularly has some complications in this zone.)

Be prepared: it is a darker fiction compared to the first 3. Some popular characters die — one of whom is popular by readers. The ending of the book is frightening compaired into the earlier books but is really a necessary evil for Harry as the older he gets, the greater he learns about his past. JK Rowling has mentioned that each new book gets progressively darker in order to tie along with the complete plot.

Of course she writes with a adroit feel. This deliciously waiting work of fiction is every bit as grasping and extremely creative like the previous books — put together up of unanticipated twists and turns.
