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

5.0

This installment is pivotal for the series as it is the first in which someone dies, and the first in which Harry (that he can remember, as he was too little to remember his parents murders) witnesses death itself. Voldemort makes a pivotal move as well for his side, without saying more (don't want to spoil).

In this installment we see the children sort of coming of age, emotionally and mentally with all that they endure and we know that going forward the series will take a darker turn. This is also as far as you can pull off just watching the movies as - after this point they are hard, if not impossible to follow if you haven't read the books.

A great read, thanks to brilliant writing the reader can actually see the children growing up here - all of them, not just our three main characters - grow emotionally and mentally significantly here.

Harry, as always faces new challenges but there are several in this book which are life-threatening. A nail-biter for sure and as I said - pivotal to the series as well as a perfect sort of bridge from children into young adults happening all the while.

Brilliant. Read it.
