Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: A Review by Rachel Pankhurst

            I think that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a really good book. Whenever you think you know what will happen the story does something surprising. I think some of the biggest twists are near the end, like when Mad-Eye Moody turns out to be Barty Crouch Junior or when the Triwizard cup is found out to be a Portkey.

            However, there are some surprises near the beginning, such as when the Weasleys arrive by the Floo network in the boarded up fireplace and when Harry’s wand makes the dark mark. This book is the one in which Harry, Ron, Hermione and their classmates really start to grow up, choosing partners for the yule ball, and, in Harry’s case, seeing Cedric Diggory die and seeing Voldemort rising and wanting to kill him.

            Overall, I think that it is a funny, fast-paced book and a very good read for people who like humour, adventure, magic and suspense.
