I just find this one so unnecessarily long but I do love the foreshadowing to the reveals and all of Sirius’s scenes in the book. It’s interesting to see how incompetent the ministry is as well.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has been the best entry in the series yet (and miles better than the film adaptation)! The overarching plot really begins to develop from here on out. Most of the major players in the game begin to show. The main conflicts of Lord Voldemort vs Hogwarts as well as Hogwarts vs The Ministry of Magic start to rise here. In addition, all of the several layers of detail between the character backstories, side plots, character relationships, and the like are intricately-woven, delivering a compelling and winding narrative with something for every fan. This novel was intense, detailed, varied, and covering a whole realm of topics. Definitely the best for me so far.

At least three characters are murdered at the hands of the primary antagonist - one of them being a fellow student. One character is murdered by a dementor; another secretly by his son. Harry experiences injuries from a giant spider as well as a supporter of the primary antagonist that are bloody and lightly detailed. The Torture Curse is used on an insect (that is then killed) as well as Harry himself. This novel is probably the darkest yet in the Harry Potter series, and it shows.
