Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire: A Book Review

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire: A Book Review

**SPOILERS**



I finally got through this portion of the Harry Potter series. I might say it was amazing! The movie really doesn't do it any justice for there's way more content in the book than the film. Lovable characters in the book weren't even included in the movie like Winky the House-Elf for example. This novel had twists and turns that you would not have expected. Sirius makes a bigger appearance as well and There are various additions to the novel that weren't even hinted to in the movie.

First of all Karkaroff who is the Headmaster of Durmstrang School had more part to play in this novel. There was also more backstory to his character as well and how he tied into Lord Voldemort. Lord Voldemort also makes his return in Year 4 of this series.

My favorite character was most likely Winky. She was a sobbing devastated House-Elf throughout the book and had some of her own secrets hidden in the metaphorical closet. She tried so hard to be a good house-elf but always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

**SPOILERS**

The part I liked best as the novel went on is really the flow of the events and the more descriptive they were. They really left a lot out from transitioning from novel to film but it made the novel that more exciting to read. There was more content in Mr. Moody who was initially kidnapped by Barty Crouch's son and the backstory behind him. There's also how he explains his whereabouts throughout the book that you've never even seen coming. That ordeal is what opens up Winky's closet of wrongdoings.

Sirius makes his way as a "Metamorphmagi" which is the Harry Potter world word for a Shapeshifter. He was in hiding near the school in order to protect Harry and even shows up in the school in black dog form to accompany Harry when he ends up in the Hospital Wing nearer to the end of the book.

I believe these other novels will be just as good as this one due to their abnormal length. I'm reading Year 5 (Order of The Phoenix) currently so we'll see how that goes right?
