Being my favourite book in the movie franchised, I was very excited to read Harry Pitter and the Goblet of Fire. And it did not disappoint!

This was the first time I had read this book and it was everything I hoped for and more! The scenes that were cut from the movie but written into the book made so much sense to the storyline.

I was obsessed with Hermoine’s pursuit to help the house-elves and it only made me love the character more so! Ron has always been my favourite character in the books, but this book, and his jealousy of Hermoine and Krum, solidified it even more so.

The book made me love Cedric Diggory and mourn his death even more so. And I felt an actual chill as I read the scene in the graveyard. 

An incredible read for me. 4.5⭐️

This book is my least favorite. It is a great book, but others are better. This year we see Harry and his friends grow apart and we also see the return of he-who-must-not-be-named. This book is the most mystery-oriented and I do like that. My favorite part is when the champions are in the maze! 

 

The movie version of this book is the worst one. The director wanted to make this film super dark, but after seeing how 3 was dark, decided he couldn’t do that and changed his idea entirely. He refused to watch the first 3 films, and only skimmed the book. There are way too many plot details that were changed or cut that changed the way the story came across.

Favorite Quotes:

“it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.” - Albus Dumbledore (book)  

“I love magic!” - Harry Potter (movie)
