Week 5 / 2017 - Harry Potter 4: The Goblet of Fire

Hey everyone and welcome to my first official review of the year. I actually read The Goblet of Fire before I had decided to start my book challenge this year. I always seem to have a lot of fun reading this particular book in the series even though it happens to be one of my least favorite movies from the series. Now one thing that I can definitely say about Rowling is that she seems to write some pretty interesting stories. I always find that I never seem to get bored of what I am reading. I know it sounds like I'm nerding out, but the worlds that are created through the tales of the Harry Potter books always seem to be so interesting.

Goblet of fire takes place during Harry's 4th year at Hogwarts and it just so happens that this year the Tri-Wizard Tournament is being held at ole' Hogwarts. Unfortunately the bad guys are up to their old hijinks again, and this time they have a fool proof plan to bring their lord and savior, Voldemort, back from the dead. Did none of the death eaters ever bother to just find a more powerful wizard and make him their leader? Seems like if would have taken less time. Anyways, some stuff happens, and bada bing bada boom before you know it Harry is seeing right before his very eye's lord Voldemort rising from the ashes. Some more stuff happens. Then there are some ghosts flying out of wands, and then you find out it was all Barty Crouch ..... Jr's fault. Yep you guessed it, not as if there were not enough hints to whom it was during the story (I mean the whole pensive section gave it away pretty easily). Never the less our hero lives to fight another day in the great land of Hogwarts, well except for Cedric.... He's Dead.
