Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire by JK Rowling

Wooooooooooops! I was suppose to post this weeks ago as part of the Harry Potter read a long with

Harry is getting wiser and older in this book. Harry doesn't seem anywhere as whiney in this book as he has in other books. In this book we getting better insight into Death Eaters and the Dark Lord. I think they way the Dark Lord runs his crew is interesting. I also still can't help but to think, seriously Lord Voldemort, you can't kill that kid? You are like a fucking immortalish snake dude, you can't off some kid? Whateves.

Harry is thrown into the TriWizard Tournament in this book. This is where Hogwarts and other magical schools compete with one another. I liked seeing the snooty French witches and the bad ass Bulgarian wizards. There is more diversity in characters in this book than in the others. In this book the Dark Lord is rebodied and is super bad dude again.

I liked the really normal bits in this book. Ron and Harry are having a hard time finding girls to take to the school dance. Ron is grumpy that Hermione is going to the dance with someone else. I like the normal kid life aspects thrown in with the wizard shit. I think perhaps that is why I have been able to read these "fantasy" books and not others. I like having normal things to relate to.

While writing this half assed review I am listening to Lady Gaga - Bloody Mary

  1. I wonder the same things about Lord Voldemort - get on with the killing! This one has been my favorite so far, I really enjoyed so many aspects of it, especially that Harry is less annoying and more concerned with his own shit instead of everyone else's. Although I totally cried when Cedric died, I didn't even love that character but it still got to me!
