Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

10/10

Finished reading this a couple days ago and it is easily the lamest one so far... NOT! Lamest cover so far, though, probably. The series keeps building and building and has quite clearly hit its stride. Plot twists galore, weaving together more and more storylines and characters, and just really creative storytelling. There were some edge of your seat moments in this one, much more intense by far than we have encountered in any of the previous books in the series. The first chapter in this one was far superior to any of the others as it immediately jumped into the action and built the suspense from the get-go.

Rowling has really created a nice world full of lots of great characters which she can seemingly do anything with at this point. It must have been a thrilling time for J.K. as she had so much ammunition to work with in deciding what to do next. That being said, I just can't see how she can top this one. It was flawlessly executed. I'm not sure if reading these to my daughter has made me enjoy it more than I otherwise would, but nonetheless, this was very fun to read.

Here are my rankings of the books I've read so far in this series:

1. HP-4
2. HP-3
3. HP-2
4. HP-1
