I am genuinely never prepared for this book when I get to it in the series, and I stand by that after reading it again this time.
This book is so good and so much fun but an emotional rollercoaster to read. I love all of the developments that we get with the characters, seeing Hermione stand for House Elf Rights with SPEW (I still cannot believe they left that part out of the movie), and then the entire Triwizard Tournament.
I genuinely think that the book is sO much better than the movie, it makes me sad how many details and entire CHARACTERS that we do not see in the movie. It is mind blowing to me that Winky is completely cut out, as she is genuinely such a fundamental part of the plot and conflict!
But anyways, putting aside my grievances of the differences between the book and the movie, I LOVE THIS BOOK. I love seeing Harry continue to grow and get stronger as both a person and a wizard. Then we see a huge moment for him and Ron when they go through those awkward weeks of anger towards each other, before Ron realizes he was acting absurd to Harry when his name is put into the Goblet of Fire. Then even Harry grows when he tells Ron he does not need to apologize to him for his poor behavior.
In the end, this book will forever be my favorite one of them all because it is honestly the most monumental installment in the series. So much happens, we learn even more about all of these characters, fall even deeper in love with them, & only root for them even more when all hell breaks loose. I rate this book 5/5 stars! 🌟

During the ceremony the Goblet of Fire chose the 3 champions. Viktor Krum from Durmstrang, Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons, and Cedric Diggory from Hogwarts. Once all the champions have entered a room away from the crowd, the Goblet of Fire spits out another piece of parchment…with Harry Potters name on it. This causes an uproar as there has never been more than 3 champions, and Dumbledore purposely set an age limit of 17+ that was supposed to be impossible for the students to get past.
Throughout the book Harry struggles with the states from his class mates and wonders who on earth purposely put his name in the Goblet. During the game, Harry and Cedric become close as they help each other solve clues and figure out the next tasks. During the final task, a maze that has many creatures and spells to get past, Cedric and Harry decide to grab the Triwizard cup together as a joint win.
I LOVED THIS BOOK. It was a little sad how Harry and Ron were fighting for a lot of the book, but it was still amazing. I was super sad when Cedric died. I really liked him and wanted to see more of him. Knowing he died after doing a noble act of a joint win with Harry was devastating. This series to definitely starting to get dark now.
