One of the best in the series
Aside from the 7th
book
(and final...I'm still sad about that), this was my absolute favorite book in the HP series. There were so many twists and turns and well, I simply loved it! When I first saw the book, I compared the size to Prizoner of Azkaban and wow. I didn't think I'd have time to read it, but once I started (granted, the beginning was a bit slow), I couldn't put the book down and I ended up reading it in about two weeks (I'm a preschool teacher so I don't get much time to myself!). Since I began reading the series late, book 5 had already been published (as had book 6) so I immediately went on to read those two.
Anyway, back to GOF...it's just amazing; J.K. puts so much depth into each and every one of her characters, no matter how minor they may be. That is one of the things that keeps me reading these books over and over again. Anyway, if you're looking for something good to read, I highly suggest this...but read the other three first. ;) Just a suggestion. :)

The best in the series -- scotrstone.com
For the first time in the series we see
Harry
's world stray from the Quidditch arena and dive into the Tri-Wizard Tournament, a dangerous competition that pits the best and bravest from three of the world's well known wizarding schools against each other. Harry didn't volunteer to enter the tournament, but is magically bound to enter and participate, thanks to a mysterious individual who likely wants to see him killed. Undoubtedly that dark figure must be working for Voldemort, but who it is and what their real motives are remains a mystery. Finally, we get to see Harry challenged by a dragon--a Hungarian Horntail, a nasty
fire
-breathing beast! The ending is very dark, and takes the series in a whole new direction from this point on. The final conflict may be a bit much for young readers. Exercise caution, parents.

Well, I finally done did it!
I had read the first three
Harry
Potter
book
s, quite some time ago, and had simply fallen behind in keeping up with the rest of the remaining stories. Other than the fact that I enjoyed
Goblet
of
Fire
as a fun diversion, and give it five stars for its entertainment value, I remain somewhat perplexed at the popularity of the series - they're great fun to read, the stories have interesting characters, and the ever-changing plot holds one's interest. Just the same, the Potter series simply doesn't strike me as what I would call "literature" even thought they have all been, so far, very enjoyable - and sometimes that's what reading should be all about.
I will say that with this book and the next (which I've already started to read), I broke out of the mold and saw the movie versions first - that's something that I almost never do: I'm sure I'll finish the series before the next one comes out. Again, the Potter series may not be great "literature" they remain a very pleasurable reading experience.

Year number four
At first I thought that the
book
was too big for keeping me interested in the story. I was very wrong though some times the book'll go astray the main path. This doesn't mean the book is boring or something like that. For me, till now the best book is book number three and Hermione is still the heroine not
Harry
.
Another year behind him!
This
book
had more twists and turns then the maze at the Triwizard tournement. It was a bit slow at first, but made up for it at the end. Like alway's I'm looking forward to the next one.
