Goblet of Fire sets the scene for the dark future that awaits our cast of characters - and it does it well.
There are an abundance of things that I enjoyed about this novel: I loved getting to learn more about the other schools in this installment (their differences are intriguing) & I enjoyed the new characters that we met along the way!
The future is looking pretty bleak (SOS).

Goblet of Fire was the longest book I’ve ever read and it was worth it. A lot of stuff happened and most of them broke me, especially the passing of Cedric Diggory. RIP, my guy. Reading this book made me realize that I can’t just trust what my eyes see, I have to think well and use my gut, especially when things go crazy. This book may be fiction, but it sure taught me life lessons about friends, families, colleagues, and the other side. I adore Harry, Hermoine, and Ron. They are brave kids, especially Harry. I also learned about not judging other people so easily just by how they look like what people around Hagrid, Snape, and Moody did. This is my first time reading this book and I enjoyed it. Oh, my heart broke for Dobby, Winky, and all the unpaid house elves like what Hermoine was fighting for with S. P. E. W., it made me sad that humans thought that house elves were below them. Good thing, Doby stood up for his rights. This was highly entertaining! I love how it was written. Plus Jim Dale did an excellent job narrating the audiobook companion. No wonder this series was now considered one of the classics. Well-deserved! This might only look like magic and wizards, but this was also about the people. Thank you, Ms. Rowling, 💕Graphic: Violence, Kidnapping, Murder, Physical abuse, Toxic relationship, Death of parent, Child abuse, Confinement, Torture, Animal cruelty, Bullying, Gaslighting, Cursing, Death, and Grief

This book is the best in the series so far, with a few caveats.
First, there were a few chapters that could have been cut. I feel like the middle of this book is really dragged out.
Spoiler
Second, I feel like the trio fight way too often throughout the course of the book. The friend discourse on top of the other sub-plots felt really heavy handed and drawn out.As for some things I enjoyed:
Spoiler
the addition of new magic schools was a fun touch, I loved hearing about how each differed from Hogwarts. I also really enjoyed the first part of the book and felt that the bit about the Quidditch World Cup had great visuals.Overall, I really enjoyed this book more than the previous one and am excited to continue the series.
