Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

• Fave Scene: This book starts off differently than the others. It begins in a little village we've never heard of and with a little old man we've never met. The house belongs to The Riddle's, relation of a character from book 2. This opening scene is very grim for the little old man and Harry Potter. Several mysteries first take root in the readers mind and won't be fulfilled until the end of the book.

• Fave Character: Hermione rose to the forefront in this book. She has always been a key character but her need to overachieve in school marred her other virtues in my mind. In this book, she focuses her tenacity for school work toward a moral cause. I love her compassion and determination for the house elves. During Harry's most difficult time at Hogwart's, Hermione stands by him even though everyone else has turned their back on him. Hermione becomes more personable throughout the fourth book. By the end, she seemed like a friend I'd love to have rather than an obnoxious smarty pants.

• Fave Magical Item: Moody's magical eye that can see through anything, even the back of his head!!
