“What would come, would come ... and he would have to meet it when it did.”

Goblet of Fire sets the scene for the dark future that awaits our cast of characters - and it does it well.

There are an abundance of things that I enjoyed about this novel: I loved getting to learn more about the other schools in this installment (their differences are intriguing) & I enjoyed the new characters that we met along the way!

The future is looking pretty bleak (SOS).

I am currently reading the entire series for the first time and this is the first book in the series so far that I was invested in for the whole read. I was genuinely shocked when
Mad-Eye Moody was supposedly the undercover Death Eater
and I was even more shocked when
it wasn’t him, or Ludo Bagman, like I thought it was

We continue into the world of witches and wizards.
The themes grow-up with Harry and Co. but reveals the darker underbelly of the authors world view. Hermoine becomes a annoying activist against a real injustice, all problems are explained with Voldemort did it, but not investigated if there are rooted in deeper problems (yeah 2 dark wizards in such short time, but everything is alright in the wizarding world) , a blunt and boring critique against journalism (lazy at best) and a side note om injustices in the fight against injustices....
And no word against the prejudice against muggle or werewolf or giants.....
And don't start thinking about the slavery-issues.....

Besides that, it's written well and as always it builds-up, really good mystery, clues and conclusion.

Goblet of Fire was the longest book I’ve ever read and it was worth it. A lot of stuff happened and most of them broke me, especially the passing of Cedric Diggory. RIP, my guy. Reading this book made me realize that I can’t just trust what my eyes see, I have to think well and use my gut, especially when things go crazy. This book may be fiction, but it sure taught me life lessons about friends, families, colleagues, and the other side. I adore Harry, Hermoine, and Ron. They are brave kids, especially Harry. I also learned about not judging other people so easily just by how they look like what people around Hagrid, Snape, and Moody did. This is my first time reading this book and I enjoyed it. Oh, my heart broke for Dobby, Winky, and all the unpaid house elves like what Hermoine was fighting for with S. P. E. W., it made me sad that humans thought that house elves were below them. Good thing, Doby stood up for his rights. This was highly entertaining! I love how it was written. Plus Jim Dale did an excellent job narrating the audiobook companion. No wonder this series was now considered one of the classics. Well-deserved! This might only look like magic and wizards, but this was also about the people. Thank you, Ms. Rowling, 💕
