Explicitly transphobic, explicitly antisemitic, explicitly against Irish independence and pro-empire and colonialism. Action packed to distract. Explicitly ableist.

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.

Favorite Harry Potter book.

November 2024: Continues to be one of the best HP books, very disappointing to miss Hermione's character development related to S.P.E.W and Rita Skeeter. 

Re-reading this as an adult, the actions of Mrs. Weasley -- especially after the third task -- were heartbreakingly pure, her desire to care for Harry and Harry's return connection to her is just sweet.

I've re-read this book several times over the years. I still find it enjoyable. I love the characters, the setting, the story, the themes, and the worldbuilding.
