Had a 4 hour drives to and from the south of England recently which usually I find tedious, but barely noticed it this time as I was listening to the Goblet of Fire which made it a pleasurable experience, even with the stop start traffic of British motorways. Stephen Fry is a great narrator, each voice is so distinct and just so easy to listen to. Combine this with the exciting story of the Goblet of Fire, with the Triwizard Tasks and the

confrontation in the graveyard

and there was never a moment where I was disengaged, despite having read the books half a dozen times by now. After prisoner of Azkaban, the story really starts to get going plotwise and it’s very evident in this book with the different settings, expansion of the lore and the development of the relationship of the main three with themselves and others (as much as I still cringe with sympathy everytime Harry acts with cho). It also is very moving at, particularly when

Cedric dies

, and I appreciate how as Harry gets older the story gets more adult as it really benefits from the maturity. Also I’ve yet to mention this even though I think about it in every book but shout out to Malfoy, it’s just so funny how big of a hater he is at all times you have to respect the grind. And of course Harry’s sass is so good to heard, particularly how Stephen Fry emphasises it, again i fine myself laughing out loud at some points. Would definitely recommend, now to the next book.
