Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
adventurous
dark
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
i dont support jk rowling & my copies of the series are like over 10 years old atp but idk i needed something familiar and easy and that didn’t require me to think too hard and it was just there.
rereading this now as a 19 year old was a lot different than reading it as a 10 year old. i get it’s a kids book but i swear when there’s any speech it gets so repetitive because she constantly uses “said,” sometimes with an adverb and sometimes without. like to the point where said didn’t even look or sound like a real word to me.
anyway there’s a lot of things i don’t like in this book, hermione’s internalised misogyny and her i’m not like other girls attitude, but also how random ass people were sending hate mail to a literal fourteen year old like ma’am you are a pensioner buying magazines for knitting patterns i hardly think you have a chance with some famous teenage boy. you’ll miss a stitch if you keep this up
also victor krum you are seventeen . dumblebee you’re out of your mind letting a fourteen year old compete in the tournament. mcgonagall should’ve been headmistress frfr. cedric my beloved, bill and charlie my beloveds, fred and george my beloveds, sirius my beloved, neville my beloved. harry… is a bit of an idiot and he needs therapy
