The themes grow-up with Harry and Co. but reveals the darker underbelly of the authors world view. Hermoine becomes a annoying activist against a real injustice, all problems are explained with Voldemort did it, but not investigated if there are rooted in deeper problems (yeah 2 dark wizards in such short time, but everything is alright in the wizarding world) , a blunt and boring critique against journalism (lazy at best) and a side note om injustices in the fight against injustices....
And no word against the prejudice against muggle or werewolf or giants.....
And don't start thinking about the slavery-issues.....
Besides that, it's written well and as always it builds-up, really good mystery, clues and conclusion.

Harry, now in his fourth year at Hogwarts, finds himself dreaming of winning the Triwizard Tournament. Unfortunately for him, only those over the age of seventeen are allowed to compete. When the Goblet of Fire reveals the names of the players chosen, Harry is shocked to see his name. Unsure how his name even got into the Goblet, he will be forced to compete and faced death-defying tasks in order to survive.

As a teen, I remember loving this book the most, and re-reading it now (as an adult) I can definitely understand why. It is jam packed with action! So much so that I completely forgot about some of it. The Quidditch World Cup felt like an enchanting experience and draws similarities to what I would imagine it to be like to attend the World Cup of Soccer. Then there's the Triwizard Tournament that is terrifying and entertaining all on its own.
It was certainly nice to see some growth in the relationships. And I appreciated the spotlight on Fred and George throughout the book as they pursue the dream of opening a joke shop despite countless setbacks.
Again, the writing isn't always strong, but I must comment on the foresight and planning that would have needed to be executed in order to write this series.
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire the series turns darker and the maturity level goes up a notch. It's where you can truly see the the battle against Lord Voldemort truly beginning.
