The Goblet of Fire, by J.K.Rowling

imgres-1The book The Goblet of Fire by JK.Rowling is a very nice read. It is about Harry Potter and his friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. In the Wizarding world Quidditch is the popular sport but … in Harry Potter’s fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry the  Quidditch cup was cancelled. The Quidditch cup was canceled for a different event called the Triwizard Tournament. There are three wizarding schools Hogwarts, Durmstrang Institute and  Beauxbatons Academy. Each school is supposed to have one winner that will try to compete the Triwizard Tournament, but Hogwarts somehow gets two, Harry and Cedric Diggory. This is a big problem for Harry because he doesn’t want to compete in this tournament but he has to, also someone wants his name in the pot that picks the champions. You have to end up with the most points in the end to win the tournament. This year the Triwizard Tournament takes place at Hogwarts.

This book also has a lot of action. One of the places that shows that this book has a lot of action is when Harry defeats the dragon in the first task of the Triwizard tournament. Another place where this book has a lot of action is when Harry has to knock out Victor Krum (the Durmstrang contestant) with a spell. One big part in the Goblet of Fire is when Lord Voldemort (the most evil person in the Wizarding word also a mass murder) kills the house caretaker Frank who is innocent.This is big because it means that Voldemort is back and he wants to kill. Another place that is important in this book is when Harry’s name comes out of The Goblet of Fire. This is important because it means Voldemort is up to something. These are examples of how there are also a lot of plot twists in this book too. The scene when Harry summons his quidditch broomstick all the way from his dormitory to the courtyard is very spellbinding. Another spellbinding thing in The Goblet of Fire is when Lord Voldemort is able to have two of him on this earth at the same time. I think Harry is very brave because he ran right through the most dangerous people in the world at the same time (Death Eaters). I think Harry is also fair because when he could have cheated on the first task of the Triwizard tournament he told Cedric that the first task was going to be dragons.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is really fun but surprisingly not to hard. It is pretty long but it is the kind of thing that you can put aside if you have a school book or something else. The Goblet of Fire is also good for any age. The one thing that I do not like about this book though is that sometimes if you’re sensitive to scary stuff, this could give you the creeps. Overall I rate this book a four and a half out of five.

  1. I liked your review. I haven’t read this book but your review makes the book sound really good. I’ve read two Harry Potter books but not this one yet.
