kristine's review....

rating: 8-10

review: this one is great too...i like the plot of the story... but its too sad that cedric has to die at the end... i felt so angry when i read the part that voldemort is now free to touch harry because he has harry's bloods running into his...and the part that Mr. Fudge did his mistake about letting the dementors to kill crouch...that's just too bad...i like all the new characters....tha's all...

I liked the book, but I think it's one of the slower and more boring books of the 5. I like the Quidditch world cup part because I love quidditch in the books, but otherwise it's no big deal. Triwizard Tourn. was cool. Didn't really know what it was leading to. I have to say, the ending made it all worth it. Voldy coming back, Pettigrew there, Harry dueling Voldy, and that whole wand thing. Brilliant. Cedric dying... didn't really care much. I know. It's awful, but the plot makes up for it. The book is a terrible cliffhanger in my opinion.

This is without a doubt my favorite book so far. There was a lot going on in this book whether you caught all the foreshadowing or not. This was the transitional book in the series, Harry is just realizing his future, and becomes a target by the Daily Prophet reporter. This book builds on the excellent plotline of the first three books, making this pivotal novel, one of the best.

9/10

great book, builds up quite a bit of suspense and an excellent length. in the first edition, there is a major mistake, but that can be overlooked as it was corrected in later editions. i am, of course, talking about the graveyard scene in which prior incantum is preformed.

Review: This book was by far my favourite. More pages meant more Harry Potter! I loved how the daily trials of Harry's life mixed in with his competing in the Triward Tournament. I loved how things were getting more serious. The slow build up towards the climax was agonizingly perfect. Everything took a dark and dramatic turn at the end, leaving me excited and anxious for OoTP.

i liked the plot, but i disliked the way harry's character acted at certain points in the story. my favorite part was when he and ron stopped arguing/being angry. i think that he should have been a little more understanding toward ron, although ron didn't really act appropriately either. sorry if i have offended anyone with this review, but i simply expressed my opinions.

No complaints about expressing your opinions that's what the reviews are designed for! lol My only request is that you add a rating. Like 5 out of 10 or 76 out of 99 or whatever. Thnx ~AJ

This is one of my favourite books and for reason! It has a great storyline and it is so intense throughout the whole book, not one dull moment! Loved it!

This book was great! I'm reading it again in fact! The part when we found out that Moody wasn't really Moody, and the Tri Wizard Tournament. We were also introduced to Fred and George's "Weasley's Wizard Weezes" I did not like Rita Seeker in this though. That was my only problem. But the article she wrote about Hermione & Harry, was rather funny! And the fact that other students from other schools around the world came into the book, was cool to! 10/10

This is my favorite book so far and yes, I have read OotP. I didn't expect anyone to actually die. That is when it hit that I was reading a really exceptional series. I had the misconception that everything would turn out alright in the end, because it was a "children's" book. Imagine my surprise, when Cedric died. It blew me away. I cried. Something I rarely do over a book. Of course, then I did again in book five, but you know. The plot really thickened here. It became more realistic to me and I got more involved period.

Review: This is by far my favorite book out of the series. It has action, romance, and tragedy all rolled into one. Not to mention the Triwizard Tournament that was absolutely breathtaking. Also, more twists and turns that will leave the reading only wanting more.

9/10 this book to me is the best out of them so far. We see Harry really face head-on larger than life matters, and the book shows a different ending than all three previous books.

i just have to say 'The Unexpected Task' is the best chapter. its soooo funny Ron's words..'Hermione Nevilles right you are a girl' crack me up everytime i read it lol.

I never want to read the chapter where Cedric dies and Harry sees his parents again because without fail i cry. its just soo sad.

i think it was an excellent book and i liked the fact that we found out about other wizarding skools.

The world cup is cool esp coz one of the Irish chasers has my surname

its a brilliant buk i luv it

I really love this book because there's the Yule Ball. At that point i thought Harry and Parvati should get together. I like this book as well because Hermione meets Krum which makes Ron jealous so we find out more. lol

My favorite chapter in this is Unexpected Task because it is just Harry and Ron being a typical boys.

And Hermione and Ginny get closer as friends.

this was a good one it had everything to continue the series in future books that you will go back to. like when dumbledore smiled when voldermort came back. but it kinda was slow in a way. 9/10

The Goblet of fire was good, not as good as OotP, but it was still pretty good! ummm... so, yeah. I liked that they introduced new characters from the different schools and i thought it was cute . the thing betweeen hermione and Victor Krum. That was adorible.

Review: "The Goblet of Fire, starts excellent with the Quidditch World Cup, and then it has The introduction of the Triwizard Tournament followed by the srrival of the two challenge schools. Suspense builds througout the book, until the last moments of the last task. This book is filled with magic and suspense to the very end, and is sure to keep you wondering.
