Synopsis:It's the pivotal fourth novel in the seven-part tale of Harry Potter's training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal — even by wizarding standards.
And in his case, different can be deadly.
My Review:
Wonderful! This might be one of my favorite books of the series because I love that we are introduced to other wizarding schools which expands Harry Potter’s world and made me realize how much more it is like our own. It never occurred to me that there might be other countries with their own secrets about magic. I thought the Triwizard Tournament and the tasks were very interesting and showcased J. K. Rowling’s creativity in the ways Harry had to solve riddles or figure out how to solve each task. I also totally forgot how Winky the House-elf played such a huge part in helping Barty Crouch Jr succeed in bringing Voldemort back to power so this was a great refresher. This is also the first book where we are confronted with death in a more personal sense because we get to know Cedric Digory and then he is killed in cold blood. It makes for a much more scary and intense story when Harry has to duel the dark lord knowing this time he really could die and everyone he loves is in danger as well since Voldemort has come back to physical form. As always I can’t wait for the stories to continue to unfold as we journey deeper into Harry Potter’s world.
