Readers say *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire* is a richly detailed and pivotal installment in the series, praised for its expanded world-building ...
The fourth Harry Potter is when things become so much more serious--or Sirius?? I love so many scenes from this book, and that ending guts me every time.
My favorite of the Harry Potter books, and I can't quite say why, but I actually listened to the first 5, Jim Dale does such a great job, and I have good memories of the period when I was listening to it, so it all adds up to make me like it best.
I've read this book, this series, multiple times. Every time, I learn new things to love. The truth is that the first time I read Goblet of Fire, I hadn't liked it. I thought it was too political and too confusing for my middle school brain. I have only loved it more and more each time after. As a senior in high school this year, reading this book in any spare time I had, it was so magical and consuming. I had forgotten the plot with Barty Crouch and his son. Reading it again was almost just as shocking. The chapter that had Mad Eye Moody (a.k.a Barty Crouch Jr.), explain all the strange events that happened, had my jaw on the floor. Cedric's death almost brought me to tears all over again. And I cannot forget to mention how dark the novels get from here on out. The progression of being an innocent children's series, to one that captured and still captures the imagination of adults, the world has Goblet of Fire to thank for the beginnings of a truly deep and sophisticated world that will forever be timeless.
