This morning as I had six pages left to read, I groaned when my husband called me away from reading “for a few minutes.” He laughed and said “It isn’t like you don’t know how it is going to end!” Ok…truth. But still…six pages left!

Whenever I tell folks that Goblet of Fire is my favorite book in the series because that’s when we first meet Mad-Eye Moody, the sticklers then say “Well, technically

we didn’t meet him. We met Barty Crouch as Moody.

” Yes, if you want to be picky about it. But I still hold firm in my reasoning because, when we see Moody again later,

don’t you think the characteristics held true to Crouch’s portrayal of them?

”

I’m thoroughly enjoying my return to Hogwarts. I think I found a nice mix this time of rereading these eternal favorites by sprinkling in new reads in between the rereads.

Also, as I said in my other reviews of my recent rereads, I do not agree with or support the author’s views on gender. The stories are extremely important to my own mental well-being and I made the decision to separate the author from the art. However you opted to handle the art & the artist, I respect your choice. And, as I said before: we all need to remember to lead with love. She is a living example of how not to behave.

I really enjoyed this. It seems the farther I get into this series the more I tend to like it. I also surprisingly like this better than the movie.

Probably my least favorite of the series. It's just dragged on too long. But it's still a good book, and I enjoy reading about the Triwizard Tournament.
