Summing Up "Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire"

Why I Chose This Book:  Because it was the next one to read in the Harry Potter series.

Book Rating (1-5 Stars):  5+ stars!  This is probably one of my FAVORITE Harry Potter books - if not THE favorite!

Setting of the Book: Mostly Hogwarts (School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in London).  I'm a complete nerd, I know.

About the Author: J.K. Rowling - this is obviously her claim-to-fame series.  She wrote another book about some kind of political something or other in England (also fiction), but the synopsis on the back of the book really didn't interest me.  Also, I'm pretty sure she wrote the first Harry Potter book in her mid-twenties but didn't actually get it published until her early thirties?  Or something like that.

Plot of the book in one sentence:  Harry is entered into the Tri-Wizard tournament where he's sure someone wants him killed.

If I Could Rename the Book:  Harry Potter & the Tri-Wizard Cup

Genre: YA Fantasy

Point of View: 3rd person limited (told from Harry's POV)

Favorite Character: Mad-Eye Moody (even though he's not what he seems).

Least Favorite Character: Lucius Malfoy.  Ugh.

Other (Main Characters): 
Harry Potter - the main character (obviously).  In this book, he's in his third year at Hogwarts.
Ron Weasley - Harry's best friend.  Comes from a poor family (all redheads).  His dad works for the Ministry of Magic, his two oldest brothers have already graduated from Hogwarts, his third oldest brother is a know-it-all rule follower at Hogwarts, his fourth-and-fifth oldest brothers are twins who are constantly causing trouble, and his younger sister is in love with Harry.  lol
Hermione Granger - Harry and Ron's other best friend.  Even though they can't stand her at the beginning of the first book (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), they grudgingly grow to admire and like her.
Albus Dumbledore - The Headmaster of Hogwarts.  He's so wise.  And super beardy.  Seriously.  He has a super-long beard.
Severus Snape - The Potions teacher at Hogwarts.  He is SO MEAN to Harry all the time.
Draco Malfoy - a self-entitled bully who picks on Harry, Ron and Hermione all the time.
I could go on, but I don't want to bog you down with too many Harry Potter characters. lol

If the Book was made into a movie, who would play the main characters? 
It's already a movie, and the characters are spot-on.  Especially the villians.  You just LOVE to hate them.

Favorite Scene of the Book: There are so many!  Probably every task the Tri-Wizard champions have to face.

Least Favorite Scene of the Book: What happens at the very end of the final task of the Tri-Wizard tournament.  It's horrible.

Did I like the Ending? Of course!

Which of my friends could I see loving this book? Amy - I know she loves it.  haha

Which of my friends could I see hating this book? Maybe Matthew DelValle.

This book left me feeling: Magical (pun intended - lol)

How Long Did It Take Me to Read It: Longer than an hour and less than a day, but it was time well-spent!
