My favourite book in the HP series, seems especially appropriate at Christmas! Yule ball, Hermione & Krum, the Twiwizard Tournament and a moving from the innocent Harry to one who realises the reality of his circumstances. Feels an appropriate bridge between the previous and future novels.

Ця книга сподобалась мені навіть більше, ніж попередня. Дуже динамічна та щира частина. Особливо подобається те, що в кожній наступній книзі згадуються нові й нові таємні місця в Гогвортсі і ми розуміємо, що цей замок ніколи не вдасться повністю дослідити

Obviously very well written. Beginning drags a bit, I don’t enjoy how Ron is villainized in the first half. Middle is pretty good, just so long. Last quarter was great. Good storyline and everything, I’m glad that I’m reading the series, just not my favorite genre and they would be long to reread.

I remember loving this so much more. It was still good but PoA is still better. Current reread rankings is 1) Prisoner 2) Goblet 3) Sourcerors 4) Chamber

"We soon must all make a choice between what is right and what is easy."
This is the transitional book. With the impressive villain Barty Crouch Jr, Cedric's murder, and Voldemort's restoration, Our magical, fun, but creepy world in the first book is gone, and the YA darkness starts here. However, this book doesn't lack lighthearted aspects, including Harry's feud with Ron, Dobby's reintroduction, and the satirization of Saviour complexes through Hermione.
To defend that last point, the spew subplot is more nuanced than people think. Hermoine has good intentions, but her lack of communication with the elves she's supposedly helping or the reasonable Dumbledore renders her cause ineffectual at best.
While I have some problems with repeated information in the Dénouement, this is one of the best books in the series.
