It is the summer breaks and soon Harry Potter will be starting his 4th year at Hogwarts. Harry is counting down the days; there are new hexes to be learnt, more Quidditch to be played and the Hogwarts castle to keep on exploring. But Harry needs to be cautious there are unexpected dangers prowling.
I really love the Harry Potter books and out of the seven I would probably say that The Goblet of Fire is my favorite, and this is almost down to the creatures and other wizarding students we see in the novel. As a lover of Hogwarts, it’s fascinating to know what other wizarding institutes are like in the world of Harry Potter, and to discover further the superficially endless list of creatures.
I could never find a dull or boring moment in The Goblet of Fire and I never get tired of reading it again and again as it’s so easy to lose myself in Harry Potter with the astonishing events and unique characters. I really like how Hermione struggles in this book as not just aastute girl, but as a girl with passion and fortitude. I like her intricate personality; usually she is type casted into just being brainy, but Hermione is shown with a more girly and sensitive side in this book, giving her more depth than just being Harry’s ingenious friend. She is mature and is more reachable as a regular person with feelings and persona.
In this book we frequently come across Cedric Diggory, a Hufflepuff, who allows us to see the Hufflepuff house in more deepness rather than just fleetingly touching upon it as it has been in other books. I like how we can see the justice, Cedric endeavors to uphold throughout this book, showing us the worth of Hufflepuffs.
Anyone who hasn’t read the book should definitely rethink that verdict as this is the book where it all changes and it’s then difficult to not continue reading the rest of the books.
The Goblet of Fire is indeed first long book of the series, where there seems to be a continuous stream of feat and drama and the tension is almost enduringly high, which actually takes the edge off the book’s length. Rowling boosts the suspense off from the word go, with the murder of Frank Bryce and the disclosure that Voldemort is already very powerful than anyone would have anticipated, thanks to his servant Wormtail, who has been concealed as the Wesley’s pet rat for over a decade. The doubt and tension stay high thru the Quidditch World Cup and into the 1stterm at Hogwarts, where little puzzling incidents and the huge mystery of who put Harry’s name in the Goblet of Fire, all tangle to help progress this astoundingly complex story.
