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.

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 is a reread.
This time round I found the topics touched in this book very up-to-date and found it comforting to see how Harry and his friends stand up for what they feel is right and meet the rising dark head on. 
This too is the book where adolescence kicks in really and hormones are found flaring and friendships have to be negotiated through all of this and more.
Again, I am gobsmacked with how spot on J.K. Rowling was in 2000 with fake news and the role public media has in offering always a distortion of what is actually happening/took place.
Again, I am shocked at the amount of trauma Harry is pelted through in this book and yet he seems by the end of it rather unscathed.

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, 💕
