Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

JJJJJ
My View:   A face-to-face meeting with Voldemort and another triumph? How's that for an exciting (/terrifying...) school year? This book starts with the introduction of important Ministry officials at the Quidditch World Cup and centers around the Triwizard Tournament with Harry, Fleur, Krum, and Cedric being the centers of attention. This book is my favorite in the series so far, and definitely re-readable, I think. I love it, even if there are a few mistakes in it, for its subtle turns in the action and for hinting at three new and major ideas coming into the series:
1. Really long books rock.
2. The trio are going to go all teenager-y on us and start letting their hormones run amok.
3. Hogwarts lessons aren't the most important thing for the trio anymore. Sure, good grades get you a good future, yada yada. But you won't have any future at all if Voldemort takes over, so let's prioritize (Hermione, I'm looking at you).
Let the annoying teens begin the rest of their journey….
