Harry, now in his fourth year at Hogwarts, finds himself dreaming of winning the Triwizard Tournament. Unfortunately for him, only those over the age of seventeen are allowed to compete. When the Goblet of Fire reveals the names of the players chosen, Harry is shocked to see his name. Unsure how his name even got into the Goblet, he will be forced to compete and faced death-defying tasks in order to survive.

As a teen, I remember loving this book the most, and re-reading it now (as an adult) I can definitely understand why. It is jam packed with action! So much so that I completely forgot about some of it. The Quidditch World Cup felt like an enchanting experience and draws similarities to what I would imagine it to be like to attend the World Cup of Soccer. Then there's the Triwizard Tournament that is terrifying and entertaining all on its own.
It was certainly nice to see some growth in the relationships. And I appreciated the spotlight on Fred and George throughout the book as they pursue the dream of opening a joke shop despite countless setbacks.
Again, the writing isn't always strong, but I must comment on the foresight and planning that would have needed to be executed in order to write this series.
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire the series turns darker and the maturity level goes up a notch. It's where you can truly see the the battle against Lord Voldemort truly beginning.

I think I am in the middle but sightly swaying more to the love catagory.
The second complex thing about this book and about a lot of the harry Potter books is how every small thing adds up in the end to make it very systematic and coherent, at a glace you may think that is a good thing though,this is a double adge blade.
For the sweaty book reader that reads 200+ books a year and reviews all of them, it is a given to pick up these small details and is natural and effortless.
But for the casual reader it is a struggle to find all of the small details and you need to go back to understand the ending.
Even after all of this complex talk ---
It is a haru Potter book, how can you hate it.
