Magical sports! - By: Steen Lykke Laursen, 18 Oct 2008 
This book focuses on "sport" - first the Quidditch World Cup & then the Triwizard Tournament - so much I actually miss some of the Hogwarts everyday life. But as always it's an unpredictable plot introducing Mad-Eye Moody among other soon to be important characters & bringing Voldemort backin full force, which bodes "well" for the last three books
I've read all seven booksin Danish at least twice each. Now I'm going through the lotin English -in the right order that is - & have just finished this one. Okay, I have to admit that I couldn't wait for the Deathly Hallows to be publishedin Danish, & it was the first of them I readin English first. Even though this one is worthy of five stars, it's not the best onein my opinion. Harry Potter & my Subjective Ranking:
1. Prisoner of Azkaban.
2. Half-Blood Prince. (onlyin Danish)
3. Deathly Hallows.
4. Order of the Phoenix. (onlyin Danish)
5. Goblet of Fire.
6. Chamber of Secrets.
7. Philosopher's Stone.
If you've seen the movies & you think it's about time you read the books, I'd say, you may - though I wouldn't recommend it - skip the first one. Basically I consider Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone (or Sorcerer's Stonein US version) an introduction to the main characters & this fascinating & captivating parallel world of magic; having seen the movies this is already taken care of. In general the movies leave out a lot of details, change parts & even putin stuff that you won't findin the books. So I'm afraid there's no way around it but to read No. 2 through to 7in sequence.
The stories, plots, people, personalities & history etc. is so perfectly interwoven through all seven books, with very few loose ends (when you've finished) & almost no gaps & mistakes. Speaking of mistakes: Why can't Harry see the Thestrals now he has seen Cedric die?
Anyway, this is yet another super-book by J.K. Rowling - I'm tempted to say "spellbinding".
Every time I travel by train I expect "my Harry Potter" to pop upin my head. Maybe you have to travel to & from Manchester for such a thing to happen?
BRILLIANT ! - By: lisa simpson, 18 Jun 2008 Another brilliant installment from the Great JK Rowling !
Gets better with each book as we are led further into the wonderful world of magic ! Great to find out about the other Wizarding Schools of Beaubatons & Durmstrang & loved Viktor Krum !
a bit darker than the rest but it has to move on a bit now they are all getting older !
Brilliant !
Of epic proportion, of epic quality. - By: Mr. D. A. F. Weaver, 17 Jun 2008 
'Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire' is no short read, taking the reader through over 600 pages of wit, humour, misery & excitement. For some, this book may indeed seem over-written, striding down corridors that are hundreds of yards from where the real plot is taking place. However, Rowling is to be commended for her ability to yet again shape the character of Harry Potter into a greater form, but at a pace relevant to mass market fiction. The growing animosity between Potter & Voldemort is consideredin a real & engaging way, allowing the plot to play upon the reader's deepest fears.
Drink this goblet dry... - By: Joe Fawley, 07 Jun 2008 Rowling is on top form here. Ten pages in, I was hoping that it would never finish. The old caretaker, the 'One who cannot be named' & the eerie setting of an old house. It's great to see Harry maturing throughout the book, although I felt uneasy. But then I realised that was exactly what J K wanted. Great action, great character development, dark, & my favourite H Potter book yet.
