Harry Potter, a strange,
trouble-making boy at Hogwarts, is a great Quidditch player. But this year at
Hogwarts, the school is not doing a Quidditch tournament. Instead, Hogwarts is
hosting the Triwizard Tournament, an old tournament between three wizards where
many people in the past have died. He gets called for the tournament even though
he doesn’t want to do it and he would be the fourth wizard in the tournament.
Also, he is in his fourth year, and only wizards that were in the fifth year or
above were supposed to participate. Harry has to go through three different
tasks against the three other wizards at his young age and learns spells that
he would learn later in his years at Hogwarts so he can compete with the
others. He does well in the first two tasks, but in the third task, something
crazy happens. What will Harry do?
The first reason I liked
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is because it is very suspenseful.
Between the second and third tasks, Harry has to prepare for the final task
with his friends Hermione and Ron, although he does not know exactly what is
coming up. The judges tell the four contestants that the third task will be a
giant maze with lots of monsters and other traps, but the judges do not tell
them what they will specifically face. J.K. Rowling did an excellent job to
make the reader not want to put the book down and keep reading.
Another reason that I
enjoyed this book is because it is part of an excellent series. Harry Potter
and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,
and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban are the first three books
in the series, each better than the one before it. J.K. Rowling gives each book
a new twist just like in the Prisoner of Azkaban, when Sirius Black escapes
Azkaban and Harry finds out that he did not actually kill his parents. I like
that every book in the series is a year at Hogwarts. I enjoy books that are
part of a series because I feel that you can always fit more in the storyline
of the main character or characters.
I would rate this
addition to the Harry Potter series a 10 out of 10. I would recommend this book
to kids who like some suspense, a lot of magic, and can deal with a long book.
I would also suggest reading the first three books in the series before this
one. Go to your closest library or bookstore and read this book!
