Summary:
Harry Potter's fourth year at Hogwarts, a school for witches and wizards, is coming up. Unlike previous years, this year, not only was there the Quidditch World Cup, Hogwarts is hosting the Triwizard Tournament, where three magical schools come together to compete for the Triwizard Cup. Unfortunately for Harry, several things don't go the way it's supposed to and his life is put on the line, again.
What I Liked:
I loved the constant hints that added up to Hermione finding out Rita Skeeter wasan animagus . It's was cleverly done, and a great easter egg to people who were rereading.
I thought the story was unique. Since this is a reread, I loved being able to pick up on several things I wouldn't have noticed upon the first read. The attention to detail in this book is amazing.
The ending of the tournament and the death of Cedric was incredibly sad, but to be able to spark such emotion from me was something I enjoyed, (the emotion, not the death. I'm not that bad of a person) .
I loved the inclusion of the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament. It added a new aspect to the universe.
What I Didn't Like:
[a: J. K. Rowling|1077326|J.K. Rowling|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1596216614p2/1077326.jpg] loves to add exposition through speeches, and it makes the work a lot more juvenile. Which, I guess made the book much more digestible as a child, but now, it kind of makes it the book seem simple (diction-wise).
I felt like the occurrences of Fred and George (as well as Ludo Bagman) sneaking around was odd at times. As if they were simply added for fan service, because their role, other than the end whenHarry give them the prize money , was not really necessary or significant.
Overall:
Although this isn't my favorite in the entire Harry Potter Series, this book is still one of the best. It added a lot to the existing universe and was entertaining. This is also one of the few in the series that cause me to have an emotional moment.
