This book is distinctly less magical than the previous books. It is also the first book of the series that I kept thinking that the movie is better. In part due to the movie seeming more magical and in part due to much of the heavy material being left out of the movie. This book also feels a bit too much let a set up for the next books instead of a standalone story like the previous three. 

The bigotry against Muggles and muggleborns is disturbing. More mature content is introduced in full swing including the bigotry against muggles as well as magical creature rights, torture, and a group of evil wizards. 

Snape is truly horrible and this book starts to be too much, luckily he isn’t in this book too much. Draco is also awfully bigoted. Both of them are rather disgusting. 

There were a couple of plot points changed between book and movie, some are for the best and some changes leave plot holes and questions like how Barry Crouch escaped and why Fudge doesn’t believe the truth. The movie has Neville help Harry which makes much more sense than Dobby helping him. But having Dobby in this book makes more sense for having Dobby in books later.

this is my favourite harry potter book by far. with the addition of the tri-wizard tournament a whole new level of fear and tension is added to the storyline. when harry’s name is pulled out of the goblet chaos ensues, one he is too young to be able to put his name down and two no one else did?? this major event points at a dark force returning, one with no nose (hehe). 

with the introduction of sunny cedric diggory i loved this book even more, to this day he is still one of my favourite characters from this series. a gentleman and kind soul cedric helps harry throughout the tournament. (guys i couldn’t stop bawling my eyes out).

the addition of the yule ball in this book was breathtaking. the beauty of the winter theme and the sweet romance that surrounded it made my heart warm. i just wanted to teleport there and join in, i mean come on who wouldn’t want to attend the yule ball??

overall this is an amazing book and a part of a series everyone should read at least once in their lifetime.
