This is where the movies go off the rail and the books just have the details you need! So many additionally characters that they cut out in the movies, that you have to have in your toolbox! I'm loving revisiting these.  I don't remember the last time I read book 4.

JK Rowling's other pen-name is Robert Galbraith. Who was he? Robert Galbraith Heath (May 9, 1915 – September 21, 1999) was an American psychiatrist.[1][2] He followed the theory of biological psychiatry that organic defects were the sole source of mental illness,[3] and that consequently mental problems were treatable by physical means. He published 425 papers and three books.[4][5][6] One of his first papers is dated 1946.[7] He was profiled as a "famous American psychiatrist" in 1983 by Psychiatric Annals.[8]

Heath founded the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology at Tulane University, New Orleans, in 1949 and remained its chairman until 1980.[4][9][10] He performed many experiments there involving electrical stimulation of the brain via surgically implanted electrodes. He placed deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes into the brains of more than 54 patients.[11][12][13][14] Indeed, he has been cited as the first, or one of the first, researcher(s) to have placed electrodes deep into the brains of living human patients.[15][1] It has been suggested that this work was financed in part by the government, particularly the CIA or U.S. military.[16][17][18]

In 1972, he claimed to have converted a homosexual man to heterosexuality using DBS.[13][19] Heath also experimented with psychosurgery, the drug bulbocapnine to induce stupor, and LSD,[20][21][22] using African-American prisoners in the Louisiana State Penitentiary as experimental subjects.[23] He worked on schizophrenia patients, which he regarded as an illness with a physical basis.[24] Today Heath's work is considered highly controversial and is only rarely used as reference material.[1][25][26]

I was really annoyed with the emphasis heavily throughout the book with S.P.E.W. overall I loved the Quidditch World cup, the whole triwizard gambit. I drew to the conclusion that Voldemort is far scarier in the book than in the movies. I love sirius even more and Snape is quite a @$$ to Harry...overall so happy i finally got through this one. This was my first go through the entire book. Onward!

My favourite Harry Potter book for so many reasons. I love the Tri-Wizard Tournament! Every time I read this book I get transported back to reading it for the first time, all the revelations, plot twists, humour, heartbreak and grief.

¿Me voy a volver fan de Harry Potter a mis casi 40? Supongo que no, pero son libros de aventura, magia, amigos, enemigos... Entretenidos, enganchan. Empiezo a entender lo que pasó con los niños de hace 20 años. 
Este libro es más largo que los otros, pero se hace bastante ameno, pasan muchas cosas.
