tiffyelefano's review against another edition

The thing about Harry Potter books is that once I pick them up, I absolutely CANNOT put them down. The way I’m literally transported into this world is incomparable. Despite this being the longest book I’ve read in awhile, I had no trouble sitting for hours on end reading. If I didn’t have work or felt the need to sleep, I reckon I would’ve devoured this book in one sitting.
The Goblet of Fire has always been my favourite out of the series and the warmth, the ache, and the enchantment I’ve felt the first time has not dulled one bit. I didn’t think I’d get emotional, I mean, I already know what’s going to happen. But that didn’t matter at all, because when I’m reading, I feel like it’s the first time I’m experiencing this story.
I loved the Triwizard Tournament. The Yule Ball. Seeing the older Weasley brothers. The excitement of the Quidditch Cup. Sirius being a protective and dedicated godfather. CEDRIC DIGGORY. God, I could write novels about how much I love Cedric.
My heart is so full with love (and pain) for this novel. 5 stars.

[b:Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire|6|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter, #4)|J.K. Rowling|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1292440310s/6.jpg|3046572] proved to be an excellent choice for a non-horror Halloween read. In it, [a:J.K. Rowling|1077326|J.K. Rowling|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1310407611p2/1077326.jpg] sharply continues her addition of darkness to the series. We see Harry, Hermione, Ron and the rest of the gang returning to Hogwart's for yet another year. As usual, there are also dark deeds going on, but the focus this year is on the Triwizard Tournament. Despite rules requiring contestants to be 17, Harry naturally ends up in the mix. Adventures ensue. Naturally, there is a giant spider. Why is there always a giant bloody spider? *grumbles* In spite of that, the book is excellent. Also, there is a merciful lack of Quidditch game play by plays.

One down, two more left. Most of what I wrote on the third book applies here as well. The language is rather clunky and most of the "translations" are shamefully boring katakana abominations, but there's a handful of cleverness scattered among the pages too (although it doesn't come anywhere near the perfection of the Finnish translation). There are surprisingly many blunders that make it clear the translator missed the point of the original sentence or idiom. In the end, it's still Harry Potter and reading it in Japanese provides a pleasant way to keep up (and improve) my language skills.
