Creo que este libro marca un antes y un después en las aventuras de Harry Potter. se vive la primera muerte de un personaje al que se le tomó aprecio y regresa el que no debe ser nombrado. Su extensión es casi el doble que el de los tres libros anteriores y eso hace que las situaciones y las intrigas se vuelvan más interesantes.
No es mi libro favorito de Harry Potter, pero sin duda me sorprendió en cada una de sus páginas.

This is the 4th book (out of 7) in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
Some people think that they've come up with a good reason for not reading Harry Potter books. I do not find their reason compelling. You're missing out on sentences like "Dudley had reached roughly the size and weight of a young killer whale." Your loss.
There may be spoilers below. You've been warned. Continue reading at your own literary peril.
This book has everything.
We're introduced to portkeys which are used to great effect at least twice.
We also meet Viktor Krum, a champion Quidditch seeker.
We encounter Veela (apparently the Kardashians are half Veela).
We discover that Leprechaun gold is a form of wizarding world Bitcoin.
House elves are to Harry Potter what droids are to Star Wars (Rebels).
We discover why Rita Skeeter bugs the heck out of us and why she's always "buzzing around".
Professor Snape is still not the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher (nor is Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody (who somehow has encountered the Borg in Harry Potter's world)). A friend told me he knew a man with a wooden leg named Moody, so I asked him, "What was the name of his other leg?"
We get to see the first Triwizard Tournament in 700 years.
We find out who put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire.
Hagrid has a patchwork quilt on his gigantic bed.
Don't mess with mother dragons. If you get a golden egg, look and listen to it closely.
Sneakoscopes aren't everything they're cracked up to be.
Sometimes Dobby's eyes leak with happiness.
Giants have a bad rap in Harry Potter's world. This include taking half measures with people like Hagrid and Madame Olympe Maxime.
Goblins have a gambling syndicate. They'll break your legs if you don't pay your debts.
Bartemius and Barty are two different people (even though they're related (father and son)).
Dumbledore speaks Mermish.
Harry is put on a high moral fiber diet.
The third task in the Tournament was amazing.
Voldamort was a really ugly baby. Even his mother couldn't look at him. His appearance was a riddle.
Wormtail was not very handy.
Can you apparate if you're a gorilla, orangutan, or chimpanzee?
Voldamort has problems letting go of petty offenses. "I do not forgive. I do not forget. Thirteen long years ... I want thirteen years' repayment."
Voldamort is back in a physical body. The next three books will respond to this. "I remember only forcing myself, sleeplessly, endlessly, second by second, to exist." A lesser villain would've just given in.
Bertha Jorkins was a veritable "mine of information". A mine is a terrible thing to waste.
Voldamort's choices always come back to haunt him. Including the fact that both his and Harry's wands have a phoenix feather core from Fawkes.
Sirius is a pretty good godfather (unlike the goblins). Seriously.
"What's comin' will come, an' we'll meet it when it does." Hagrid (quoting Dumbledore). "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." Gandalf (quoting himself).
Harry becomes a VC and funds a joke shop.
There were 3 Quidditch seekers as main characters in this novel.
This was a complex story line executed pretty well.

THIS IS FREAKING GOOD THO
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
This is without a doubt my favorite installment so far. The juxtaposition of the light, fun parts with the dark, absolutely soul-destroying parts (that made me want to die) was masterfully done, and I was left with dread for the future, but (since I already know how everything ends lol) I am also left with hope.
The characters really grew into much stronger, better people (and just in time too, because STUFF IS GOING DOWN). I loved the tournament and the other schools (though I was disappointed that Neville wasn't the one who gave Harry gillyweed like he does in the movie; that felt like a missed opportunity to actually include his character in anything at all, which he hasn't had the chance to do since the first book).
But yeah, I'm very happy with this book and liked it infinitely better than Prisoner of Azkaban.

Also, why didn't Viktor Krum ever get any kind of comeuppance for using the cruciatus curse on Cedric (and likely Fleur)? Like, that's pretty serious, but he just gets to say goodbye to Hermione and go on his way like ????? This better be explained in later books.But yeah, I'm very happy with this book and liked it infinitely better than Prisoner of Azkaban.
