Harry Potter and the goblet of fire is the most brilliant book ever written. it's a master peice and i dont know how i got through all those years without the harry potter books. i think that this book is the pinnacle in the series(so far). right from the start of the book, with the introduction being what it was(the riddle house) you could tell that something big was going to happen. with harry entering the triwizard tournament, excitment and action was guaranteed . but i had no idea that the last few chapters would be so stirring. they were so surprising, unexpected.... and sad. i cried in the last few chapters because it was so sad. anyway, i cant wait for the next book, which by the way is called HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHEONIX. i dont think that this book deserves a 5 . it deserves a 100!(so do the rest of her books.) Keep up the excellent work J.K.Rowling


Well this book took me about 5 dayz it was really good but i prefer the first book better the PHILOSOPHER"S STONE!!! well mabye because of the movie but yeah okay newayz i liked it and i hope there is a 5th series coming out soon!! tah tah--- chantel.
If u haven't seen the movie, u don't know what u're missing.


I think the books are excellent, i read them all in three weeks, and i think the most important thing about them is that they make you believe in things sometimes people forget, its like an oasis when all seems to be wrong, because the book is not all hapiness but it makes you believe that in the end the good people is going to win, and that magic is possible even if it is just in your heart.
J.K. Rowling gave us a wonderfull gift, and she made her dream our dream.


I loved Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban! I am a huge fan of Harry Potter and I mean HUGE. Most the kids of my age (13) think they are childish books. The charecters on this book are very lively and they way Rowling writes about Malfoy makes you learrn to hate him so much. Everybody go see the first movie comming out (Harry Potter and the Sorcer's Stone)!!!!

I love the Harry Potter Series, but I was slightly disapointed by the 5th book. It dosen't really have the same complex and suspensful plot that the others have. I think the first three books are by far the best. The fourth book is perhaps the most elaboratly planned, but it has sort of lost the magic and wonder of the first three. There are a few annoinying contradictions in the series like: Why can't Harry see the thestrals at the end of the fourth book? Why did Percy take points from Gryffindor in the 2nd book and in the fifth book only members of the inquisitorial sqad can? Why is it that in the fourth book Harry attends the 422nd quiddich world cup if there was one in 1472? (see the first book) However, this is still in my opinion the most imaginative and interesting book series ever written. It seems so realistic, I wonder how J.K. Rowling ever thought of such great charactors and plots. I can't wait for the 6th and 7th books, I just hope they don't take three years to write like the 5th book.

i think that Harry Potter is a very good book. I'm reading books one by one and HP is one of my best books, but not he best.
P.S. I'm from Croatia, I don't know very good english. bye! :)

The Harry Potter series is a wonderful series. In my opinion, the fourth book is the best. I think that
the book is exciting. A lot happens this year. Ron Weasley's family takes Harry to the
Quidditch World Cup.Mysterious things happen at the match,and many people become frightened. Ministry officials talk about something "special" at Hogwarts this year,but Harry and his friends have no idea what this "thing" is.
Harry wonders if someone is trying to KILL him. Sirius,Harry's godfather,
is worried. He does not expect,nor does anyone else, what is about to happen next...
The book,I must say is long, but has a great story-line. Some people might find the book scary,as I did. I am so very happy that Mrs. Rowling has come up with a wonderful series. I do thank you, because if you read Harry Potter,you must be a good person. Thank you for your time!
(p.s.) I also like this book because my name appears in it! Parvati

I dont really like reading but i really enjoyed reading the Harry Potter books. It is a really good book but I wouldn't say it is the Harry Potter story. I can't wait till the fifth one comes out.
