"I cannot wait for the next book!"

In this book, Harry has been invited by his friend Ron and his family, the Weasley's to the annual Quidditch World Cup match and then after the match, Harry would stay with Ron's family until school started.

Strange things happen at the match and they don't let up when Harry, Ron and Hermoine start back to school. This year there is going to be a Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts. Only wizards 17 and older may compete. It's a total shock when the Goblet of Fire spits out Harry's name as the fourth contestant. Professor Dumbledore, the head of Hogwarts, decides since the Goblet spit out Harry's name then Harry should be allowed to compete but Harry's not sure he wants to compete.

Needless to say, this competition makes Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts very interesting. Harry also feels that He Who Must Not Be Named is getting stronger because Harry's scar keeps throbbing.

This series of books just keep getting more and more intriguing and the characters more quirky and interesting. I have thoroughly enjoyed the first four books in the series and am eagerly looking forward to the rest of the books. Harry and his friends have endeared themselves to me and I am looking forward to finding out what's going to happen next!
