Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Vol. 4)

Fourteen-year-old Harry Potter joins the Weasleys at the Quidditch World Cup, then enters his fourth year at Hogwarts Academy where he is mysteriously entered in an unusual contest that challenges his wizarding skills, friendships and character, amid signs that an old enemy is growing stronger.

I laughed, smiled, cried and felt frustration throughout this entire book. So many plot twists, so many tense moments that kept me reading non stop. I related to the main characters the most than in the other previous books. Again, much more deep and complex than the movie. Everything made more sense and some characters were shown in a new light (Ludo, Crouch and Fudge). The backstory made it more clear. I couldn't stop crying when Cedric died, especially because of Harry's trauma. Must be the first time I've cried because of a book, I'm quite sure I'll cry even more in the next books and I'm way too excited for that. 🙈
