Average Rating: Rating: - Pure fun, and a delight that can be reread again and again. The great strength of Rowling's works is her conscious effort to never let the messages in her stories overshadow their readability and sense of fun. All books should first and foremost tell the story, and Rowling never forgets that. That said, her latest installment, The Goblet of Fire, takes us back to Hogwarts for another year of magic, danger and intrigue. This book is the pivotal part of Harry's seven year tale, and ends on a note that many readers may find unsatisfactory, as the issue of accountability and leadership in the Ministry of Magic comes to light. Goblet of Fire reads on many levels; younger children will delight in the fast and inventive pace of the plot and storytelling, and older readers will find themselves waiting to see how the issue of Voldemort's true return and the Ministry of Magic's reaction are resolved or expanded in book five. Rating: - Just as good as the rest I have to admit, I'm not a pre-teen or a teenager anymore. I'm 23, but I fell in love with the Harry Potter stories after a friend that is younger than I am implored me to read the stories. I did finish the first 3 in one week and I finished the goblet of fire in one day (I'm a pretty fast reader!) and the story is a gripping story, a lot of fun to read. I won't say too much about the plot because kids and adults alike should read this story. The readers may notice that Harry and Ron and Hermione are starting to grow up and change a little bit, developing crushes on the opposite sex, and have to deal with the issue of death and as expected, a traitor in the midst of Hogwarts. Of course Ms. Rowling always likes to lead the reader to believe that one character should be guilty of the heinous crimes that have terrorized the student body, but the truth does prevail! It's OK, to buy the book for yourself if you are old enough to drive and vote. Most grown-up novels are not this much fun and encourage you to use your imagination! Now, I'm waiting for Book #5. Cheers to Ms. Rowling for breathing life and intelligence into books for children. Rating: - a long wait to the end i had been avoiding dear old Harry Potter till a week ago. Then I picked up the first book (you know, begin at the beginning), and have read the four books almost back to back. First was enchanting, second was boring, third picked up magic again, and the fourth just splatters it all over the place like a big, gory picture. Sure it's darker, sure there's death and mayhem and all kinds of dark arts, but 700 pages before you come to the the duel that fizzes in comparison to the earlier endings. Everything is overdone in this book, stretched to the extent that it leaves you tired and yet dissatsified. I am reminded of a dialog somewhere... the author had too much material and never made any choices, just threw everything in. The result? It's huge, mostly not-funny (Ron Weasly is almost not present with his wisecracks for a good part of the book), and doesn't leave a happy feeling at the end, despite your effort to stick with the 700 odd pages. I think the next book should just have footnotes for references to earlier occurences. To read pages about how quidditch and history of Dursleys and so on gets irritating sometimes.
