5.0

this is my favourite harry potter book by far. with the addition of the tri-wizard tournament a whole new level of fear and tension is added to the storyline. when harry’s name is pulled out of the goblet chaos ensues, one he is too young to be able to put his name down and two no one else did?? this major event points at a dark force returning, one with no nose (hehe). 

with the introduction of sunny cedric diggory i loved this book even more, to this day he is still one of my favourite characters from this series. a gentleman and kind soul cedric helps harry throughout the tournament. (guys i couldn’t stop bawling my eyes out).

the addition of the yule ball in this book was breathtaking. the beauty of the winter theme and the sweet romance that surrounded it made my heart warm. i just wanted to teleport there and join in, i mean come on who wouldn’t want to attend the yule ball??

overall this is an amazing book and a part of a series everyone should read at least once in their lifetime.

The bigotry was too much. The Weasleys being pro-slavery, the characters being misogynistic, and Harry's inability to pick a side and have an opinion of his own. I'm happy I never read this book as a kid.

Ugh. It's impossible to get pack all the issues. The core book is solid. The mystery is interesting!  There are great plot twists!

And then the book is adamantly pro-slavery, the fat shaming is insane, and the misogyny palpable. Characters do not act consistently and Harry has NO personality in this.

Part of a shared read with Flo. Took ages to get through, but it was fun watching someone read for the first time.

Probably my least favorite of the series. It's just dragged on too long. But it's still a good book, and I enjoy reading about the Triwizard Tournament.
