Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling

Summary:
This is the fourth installment of the Harry Potter books. This story is about the Goblet of Fire and a competition, known as the Triwizard Tournament, which will take place at Hogwarts. Students who want to enter the competition have to be at least seventeen years old. Many enter but only four are chosen to compete. The day when the Goblet starts to select names everyone is very excited and hovers around, Harry and his friends don't care to much because none of them are of age, but sure enough he is chosen as one of the competitors! Before the competition, Hermione and Ron help Harry prepare. When the day finally comes for the Triwizard Tournament, Harry feels ready. And he makes it to the last day. Cedric and him make it all the way through the maze and have to face the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort. Unfortunately, he kills Cedric! Harry fights back for his friend although he and Cedric barely knew each other and defeats Lord Voldemort!

Review:
I think Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a great book but people really should read the other three books that come before this installment to understand it. The books are fantasy and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading fantasy books or any books of that kind.

Quote:
"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." I chose this quote simply because it shows the fight between Harry and Voldemort and how Harry must prepare for it. It also shows that people shouldn't fight their equals but people who are stronger than them and that they can learn from and with time defeat.
