I think the saving grace of the book for me is Cedric Diggory, my Hupplepuff dear boy. 

This book is quite enjoyable among the others. Tournament is fun yeah? But, why adults in here are like dumb dumb and dumber?! 

Plot has many loopholes. Signifying the lack of information on the world building. It's like everything would have fallen to the right place regardless of the characters actions.

This book is distinctly less magical than the previous books. It is also the first book of the series that I kept thinking that the movie is better. In part due to the movie seeming more magical and in part due to much of the heavy material being left out of the movie. This book also feels a bit too much let a set up for the next books instead of a standalone story like the previous three. 

The bigotry against Muggles and muggleborns is disturbing. More mature content is introduced in full swing including the bigotry against muggles as well as magical creature rights, torture, and a group of evil wizards. 

Snape is truly horrible and this book starts to be too much, luckily he isn’t in this book too much. Draco is also awfully bigoted. Both of them are rather disgusting. 

There were a couple of plot points changed between book and movie, some are for the best and some changes leave plot holes and questions like how Barry Crouch escaped and why Fudge doesn’t believe the truth. The movie has Neville help Harry which makes much more sense than Dobby helping him. But having Dobby in this book makes more sense for having Dobby in books later.
