My mother has a collection of the Harry Potter books on her book shelf, and I read this fourth installment in the series first since its the first that was released after I was born. I remember some of these characters from looking at some of these books when I was younger and seeing some of the movies before. Also just from popular culture too, I suppose. I liked the focus of this book on the Quidditch world cup, which starts the book. This reminded me of the soccer world cup in the real not wizarding world. Then, the book goes into talking about a school competition at Hogwarts called the Goblet of Fire.
In this competition, a student is selected from each of the three competing wizardry schools. And in the particular year, there's a twist of two students being selected from Hogwarts. The book had a pretty interesting ending too, with Harry Potter winning the competition and the other student selected from Hogwarts dying in the competition.
