Book Review: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)

Please do not read this review if you have not read the preceding Harry Potters, I do not wish to spoil your literary experience. My thoughts on those can be found here, (book 1) here, (book 2) and here (book 3).

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth book in the bestselling Harry Potter series. It starts about a month before school starts back up, when Ron and his family come to pick up Harry for the Quidditch World Cup (Quidditch is a magical sport played on broomsticks) When the Weasleys arrive, after an issue with the fireplace, the pick him up, bring them to their house, and off to the Cup. While they are there, Harry hears mentions of an event going the next school year. After an intense game of Quidditch, Harry's wand is stolen, used to cast a dark spell known as the Dark Mark, and a house-elf known as Winky finds it. Harry, Winky, and Winky's master, Barty Crouch Sr. (no, he does not spend his spare time crouching in bars) until it has been resolved that none of them committed the crime. Mr. Crouch is still mad at Winky for putting him on the chopping block, so he sets her free, which, depending on the elf, is the best reward or the worst punishment possible. Winky is of the second kind, so this is a huge blow for her. What will Winky do? What is the mysterious event taking place? Who cast the Dark Mark? Will I ever stop asking questions? To answer these questions (except for the last one, the answer is no) read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!
