Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was my most anticipated read of the series… It’s my favorite movie (I KNOW I KNOW- the books are SO MUCH BETTER) and it’s where the books really start to get intense. Even though there was a part that brought tears to my eyes, its not as sad as whats yet to come…

I feel like this book is the book of transitioning for Harry, Ron and Hermione. This is the last book of their childhood. If the movies follow the books as well as I hope, shit really starts to get real after this one. There is a lot of depth to this story, the characters and it gets a bit darker than the first three. I love the Tri-Wizard Tournament aspect and the new characters we meet. Once again, I listened to the audio book and the narration was fantastic. If you’ve never read the books before, or your a long time fan- I highly recommend these audio books. The narrator does a fantastic job. I love getting lost in the world of Harry Potter and can’t wait to read more <3

SOOO many good scenes they should have included in the movie! Like  SPEW, Moody confiscating the map, Hermione discovering Rita Skeeter as an unregistered animagus, etc.  AHHHH I wish they could have made a 10 hour movie to include everything lol.

Times read as of October 2024: 5

If you don’t like this book and your reasoning for not liking this book has nothing to do with the author, then I don’t trust you. Goblet of Fire is my absolute favorite book of all time. It’s the perfect blend of magic, action, humor, and tragedy. My favorite character, Gabrielle, is also introduced in this book (although most people don’t even remember who she is).

I think the main reason why I love this one so much is because of the Triwizard Tournament. I’ve realized recently that I love any sort of competitive game or tasks in fantasy books. They’re always so fun to read about. The tasks in this book are so clever and well done. There’s so many fun fantasy creatures in each task, but even though they’re entertaining to read, the tasks have a deeper meaning to them since they also reveal each character’s true personality. During the tasks, you find out about how Cedric is truly an intelligent underdog who puts other people first and you find out how Harry is a brave, compassionate hero who keeps fighting even when the odds are against him. It’s wonderful.

One thing that always catches me off guard about this book is how much stuff they left out of the movie. The Goblet of Fire movie is phenomenal, but it didn’t included Winky, Sirius risking his life to watch over Harry, Ludo Bagman, and the whole explanation for how Barty Crouch Jr. escaped from Azkaban. If they ever remake the Harry Potter movies, they should split this one up into two parts so that all of the details can be included in the remake.

There are a few problematic things in this book. I believe that you can love a problematic book but you can (and should) call out the problematic elements of those books, so here goes:
-The section at the Dursley’s at the start of the book is fatphobic. The previous books had some fatphobia as well, but this one gets particularly bad. Dudley is obviously a terrible character, but that’s not an excuse for the way that his weight is described and treated.
-The whole situation with the house elves is awful. The house elves want to be slaves and they don’t want to be paid for their work. They act like it’s the end of the world if they can’t work for free. Hermione is the only one who stands up for the house elves but she is not treated well for standing up for what’s right. It always rubs me the wrong way.
-Winky’s alcoholism is treated like a joke. The seriousness of alcoholism is not properly addressed like it should be.

Some of my favorite moments/quotes/scenes:
-“If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
-"Asleep was the way Harry liked the Dursleys best; it wasn't as though they were any help to him awake."
-"As for informing the headmasters, Harry had no idea where Dumbledore went during the summer holidays. He amused himself for a moment, picturing Dumbledore, with his long silver beard, full-length wizard's robes, and pointed hat, stretched out on a beach somewhere, rubbing suntan lotion onto his long crooked nose."
-"Harry had received two letters from Sirius since he had been back at Privet Drive. Both had been delivered, not by owls (as was usual with wizards), but by large, brightly colored tropical birds. Hedwig had not approved of these flashy intruders; she had been most reluctant to allow them to drink from her water tray before flying off again."
-" Your sincerely, Molly Weasley
P.S. I do hope we've put enough stamps on.
...
He held up the envelope in which Mrs. Weasley's letter had come, and Harry had to fight down a laugh. Every bit was covered in stamps except for a square inch on the front, into which Mrs. Weasley had squeezed the Dursleys' address in minute writing.
'Sge did put enough stamps on, then,' said Harry, trying to sound as though Mrs. Weasley's was a mistake anyone could make."
-...what appeared to be a small, gray, feathery tennis ball collided with the side of his head. Harry massaged the spot furiously, looking up to see what had hit him, and saw a minute owl, small enough to fit into the palm of his hand, whizzing excitedly around the room like a loose firework... Harry stared at the word 'Pig,' then looked up at the tiny owl now zooming around the light fixture on the ceiling."
-"Lound bangings and scrapings were coming from behind the Dursleys' boarded-up fireplace, which had a fake coal fire plugged in front of it... Voices could be heard from inside the blocked fireplace... 'They - they've tried to get here by Floo powder,' said Harry, fighting a mad desire to laugh. 'They can travel by fire - only you've blocked the fireplace.' ... Ron's voice now joined the others'. 'What are we doing here? Has something gone wrong?'
'Oh no, Ron,' came Fred's voice, very sarcastically. 'No, this is exactly where we wanted to end up.'
'Yeah, we're having the time of our lives here,' said George, whose voice sounded muffled, as though he was squashed against the wall."
-"'Harry said good-bye to you,' he said. 'Didn't you hear him?'
'It doesn't matter,' Harry muttered to Mrs. Weasley. 'Honestly, I don't care.'
Mr. Weasley did not remove his hand from Harry's shoulder.
'You aren't going to see your nephew till next summer,' he said to Uncle Vernon in mild indignation. 'Surely you're going to say good-bye?'"
-"Dudley was no longer standing behind his parents. He was kneeling beside the coffee table, and he was gagging and sputtering on a foot-long, purple, slimy thing that was protruding from his mouth. One bewildered second later, Harry realized that the foot-long thing was Dudley's tongue - and that a brightly colored toffee wrapper lay on the floor before him."
-"This had to be Charlie, who worked with dragons in Romania. Charlie was built like the twins, shorter and stockier than Percy and Ron, who were both long and lanky. He had a broad, good-natured face, which was weather-beaten and so freckly that he looked almost tanned; his arms were muscular, and one of them had a large, shiny burn on it."
-"Bill came as something of a surprise. Harry knew that he worked for the wizarding bank, Gringotts, and that Bill had been Head Boy at Hogwarts; Harry had always imagined Bill to be an older version of Percy; fussy about rule-breaking and fond of bossing everyone around. However, Bill was - there was no other word for it - cool. He was tall, with long hair that he had tied back in a ponytail. He was wearing an earring with what looked like a fang dangling from it. Bill's clothes would not have looked out of place at a rock concert, except that Harry recognized his boots to be made, not of leather, but of dragon hide."
-"'Er - why are you calling that owl Pig?' Harry asked Ron.
'Because he's being stupid,' said Ginny. 'Its proper name is Pigwidgeon.'
'Yeah, and that's not a stupid name at all,' said Ron sarcastically. 'Ginny named him,' he explained to Harry. 'She reckons it's sweet. And I tried to change it, but it was too late, he won't answer to anything else. So now he's Pig.'"
-"'Where's Crookshanks?' Harry asked Hermione now.
'Out in the garden, I expect,' she said. 'He likes chasing gnomes. He's never seen any before.'"
-"Just don't get him onto the subject of his boss. According to Mr. Crouch... as I was saying to Mr. Crouch... Mr. Crouch is of the opinion... Mr. Crouch was telling me... They'll be anouncing their engagement any day now."
-"Crookshanks came pelting out of the garden, bottle-brush tail held high in the air, chasing what looked like a muddy potato on legs. Harry recognized it instanstly as a gnome. Barely ten inches high, its horny little feet pattered very fast as it sprinted across the yard and dived headlong into one of the Wellington boots that lay scattered around the door. Harry could hear the gnome giggling madly as Crookshanks inserted a paw into the boot, trying to reach it."
-"...Bill and Charlie both had their wands out, and were making two battered old tables fly high above the lawn, smashing into each other, each attempting to knock the other's out of the air. Fred and George were cheering, Ginny was laughing, and Hermione was hovering near the hedge, apparently torn between amusement and anxiety."
-"In the middle of the table, Mrs. Weasley was arguing with Bill about his earring, which seemed to be a recent acquisition.
'...with a horrible great fang on it. Really, Bill, what do they say at the bank?'
'Mum, no one at the bank gives a damn how I dress as long as I bring home plenty of treasure,' said Bill patiently.
'And your hair's getting silly, dear,' said Mrs. Weasley, fingering her wand lovingly. 'I wish you'd let me give it a trim...'"
-"...someone might slip dragon dung in it again, eh, Perce?' said Fred.
'That was a sample of fertilizer from Norway!' said Percy, going very red in the face. 'It was nothing personal!'
'It was,' Fred whispered to Harry as they got up from the table. 'We sent it.'"
-'I said - Ced, that'll be something to tell your grandchildren, that will... You beat Harry Potter! '"
-"Harry bent down, ducked under the tent flap, and felt his jaw drop. He had walked into what looked like an old-fashioned three-room flat, complete with bathroom and kitchen. Oddly enough, it was furnished in exactly the same sort of style as Mrs. Figg's house: There were crocheted covers on the mismatched chairs and a strong smell of cats."
-"They had walked into a patch of tents that were all covered with a thick growth of shamrocks, so that it looked as though small, oddly shaped hillocks had sprouted out of the earth."
-"It was Seamus Finnigan, their fellow Gryffindor fourth year. He was sitting in front of his own shamrock-covered tent, with a sandy-haired woman who had to be his mother, and his best friend, Dean Thomas, also of Gryffindor."
-"The tents here had not been bedecked with plant life, but each and every one of them had the same poster attatched to it, a poster of a very surly face with heavy black eyebrows. The picutre was, of course, moving, but all it did was blink and scowl."
-"'Muggle women wear them, Archie, not the men, they wear these ,' said the Ministry wizard, and he brandished the pinstriped trousers.
'I'm not putting them on,' said old Archie in indignation. 'I like a healthy breeze 'round my privates, thanks.'"
-"Oliver Wood, the old captain of Harry's House Quidditch team, who had just left Hogwarts, dragged Harry over to his parents' tent to introduce him, and told him excitedly that he had just been signed to Puddlemere United reserve team."
-"Bill had a penfriend at a school in Brazil..."
-"'We'll bet thirty-seven Galleons, fifteen Sickles, three Knuts,' said Fred as he and George quickly pooled all their money, 'that Ireland wins - but Viktor Krum gets the Snitch.'"
-"Salesmen were Apparating every few feet, carrying trays and pushing carts full of extraordinary merchandise. There were luminous rosettes - green for Ireland, red for Bulgaria - which were squealing the names of the players, pointed green hats bedecked with dancing shamrocks, Bulgarian scarves adorned with lions that really roared, flags from both countries that played their national anthems as they were waved; there weer tiny models of Firebolts that really flew, and collectible figures of famous players, which strolled across the palm of your hand, preening themselves."
-"...Ron yelled happily, stuffing a fistful of gold coins into Harry's hand, 'for the Omnioculars! Now you've got to buy me a Christmas present, ha!'"
-"Hassan Mostafa had landed right in front of the dancing vela, and was acting very oddly indeed. He was flexing his muscles and smoothing his mustache excitedly."
-"'You can speak English!' said Fudge, sounding outraged. 'And you've been letting me mime everything all day!'
'Vell, it vos very funny,' said the Bulgarian minister, shrugging."
-"'No, you're not!' yelled his friend. 'You're a dishwasher at the Leaky Cauldron... but I'm a vampire hunter, I've killed about ninety so far-'
A third young wizard, whose pimples were visible even by the dim, silvery light of the vela, now cut in, 'I'm about to become the youngest ever Minister of Magic, I am.'
Harry snorted with laughter. He recognized the pimply wizard: His name was Stan Shunpike, and he was in fact a conductor on the triple-decker Knight Bus. He turned to tell Ron this, but Ron's face had gone oddly slack, and next second Ron was yelling, 'Did I tell you I've invented a broomstick that'll reach Jupiter?'"
-"'Do us a favor, Perce,' said Bill, yawning, 'and shut up.'"
-"'Yeah, well, Dad collects plugs, doesn't he?' said Fred quietly as Mrs. Weasley left the room. 'Birds of a feather...'"
-"'Yeah, you know what, Percy?' said George seriously. 'I reckon he'll know your name soon.'"
-"'But Hogwarts is hidden,' said Hermione in surprise. 'Everyone knows that... well, everyone who's read Hogwarts, A History, anyway.'
'Just you, then,' said Ron. 'So go on - how d-you hide a place like Hogwarts?'
'It's bewitched,' said Hermione. 'If a Muggle looks at it, all they see is a moldering old ruin with a sign over the entrance saying DANGER, DO NOT ENTER, UNSAFE.'"
-"A large, red, water-filled balloon had dropped from out of the ceiling onto Ron's head and exploded. Drenched and sputtering, Ron staggered sideways into Harry, just as a second water bomb dropped - narrowly missing Hermione, it burst at Harry's feet, sending a wave of cold water over his sneakers into his socks. People all around them shrieked and started pushing one another in their efforts to get ouf of the line of fire. Harry looked up and saw, floating twenty feet above them, Peeves the Poltergeist... Professor McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress and head of Gryffindor House, had come dashing out of the Great Hall; she skidded on the wet floor and grabbed Hermione around the neck to stop herself from falling."
-"If Harry, Ron, and Hermione were wet, it was nothing to how these first years looked. They appeared to have swum across the lake rather than sailed."
-"...he caught Colin Creevey's eye, gave a double thumbs-up, and mouthed, I fell in the lake! He looked positively delighted about it."
-" For Hufflepuff, hard workers were
Most worthy of admission "
-"'Colin, I fell in!' he said shrilly, throwing himself into an empty seat. 'It was brilliant! And something in the water grabbed me and pushed me back in the boat!'
'Cool!' said Colin, just as excitedly. 'It was probably the giant squid, Dennis!'
'Wow!' said Dennis, as though nobody in their wildest dreams could hope for more than being thrown into a storm-tossed, fathoms-deep lake, and pushed out of it again by a giant sea monster."
-"...he was distracted by Professor Sprout showing the class the ugliest plants Harry had ever seen. Indeed, they looked less like plants than thick, black, giant slugs, protruding vertically out of the soil. Each was squirming slightly and had a number of large, shiny swellings upon it, which appeared to be full of liquid.
'Bubotubers,' Professor Sprout told them briskly. 'They need squeezing. You will collect the pus-'"
...Squeezing to bubotubers was disgusting, but oddly satisfying. As each swelling was popped, a large amount of thick yellowish-green liquid burst forth, which smelled strongly of petrol...
'This'll keep Madam Pomfrey happy,' said Professor Sprout, stoppering the last bottle with a cork. 'An excellent remedy for the more stubborn forms of acne, bubotuber pus. Should stop students resorting to desperate measures to rid themselves of pimples.'
'Like poor Eloise Midgen,' said Hannah Abbott, a Hufflepuff, in a hushed voice. 'She tried to curse hers off.'
'Silly girl,' said Professor Sprout, shaking her head. 'But Madam Pomfrey fixed her nose back on in the end.'"
-"'I was saying that Saturn was surely in a position of power in the heavens at the moment of your birth... Your dark hair... your mean stature... tragic losses so young in life... I think I am right in saying, my dear, that you were born in midwinter?'
'No,' said Harry, 'I was born in July.'"
-"'It is Uranus, my dear,' said Professor Trelawney, peering down at the chart.
'Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?' said Ron."
-"'You know your mother, Malfoy?' said Harry... 'that expression she's got, like she's got dung under her nose? Has she always looked like that, or was it just because you were with her?'"
-"Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret..."
-"'Imagine if Moody turned Snape into a horned toad,' said Ron, his eyes misting over, 'and bounced him all around his dungeon...'"
-"It's S-P-E-W. Stands for the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare."
-"Moody began to beckon students forward in turn and put the Imperius Curse upon them. Harry watched as, one by one, his classmates did the most extraordinary things under its influence. Dean Thomas hopped three times around the room, singing the national anthem. Lavender Brown imitated a squirrel. Neville performed a series of quite astonishing gymnastics he would certainly not have been capable of in his normal state."
-"...during which Neville had accidentally transplanted his own ears onto a cactus."
-"Something large, much larger than a broomstick - or, indeed, a hundred broomsticks - was hurtling across the deep blue sky toward the castlye, growing larger all the time... As the gigantic black shape skimmed over the treetops of the Forbidden Forest and the lights shining from the castle windows hit it, they saw a gigantic, power-blue, horse-drawn carriage, the size of a large house, soaring toward them, pulled through the air by a dozen winged horses all palominos, and each the size of an elephant."
-"Will you please inform zis 'Agrid zat ze 'orses drink only single-malt whiskey?"
-"The students from Beauxbatons had chosen seats at the Ravenclaw table."
-"Viktor Krum and his fellow Durmstrang students had settled themselves at the Slytherin table."
-"'Bouillabaisse,' said Hermione.
'Bless you,' said Ron.
'It's French,' said Hermione."
-And many more that I can't fit in my review because of the character limit!

n  “We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”n

The summer is dragging and Harry can't wait to join the Weasleys and Hermione at The Burrow and go with them to the International Quidditch Cup final.

It's Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This year will be different to the previous ones, for Hogwarts will be hosting the Triwizard Tournament, a competition which hasn't been hosted for a century. A contest involving two other international magical schools and three dangerous tasks, only students of age are allowed to compete in.



Harry is looking forward to watching the games and supporting whoever the Hogwarts champion is. What Harry doesn't expect is finding himself entangled in these dangerous events.





For me this is where the story really picks up. The games, as well as the dark atmosphere make this book so compelling. You can't help but want to know what happens next and how Harry decides to face all the challenges that come at him.

“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”

The introduction of foreign wizards/witches in this book sets this one apart from the others. I absolutely loved seeing how different they are to the usual British magical community. And the rivalry that is usually present at Hogwarts between the Houses is amped-up.



I really felt for Harry. He faces hate from the other students for something he had no control over as well as being shunned by one of his best friends. I don't know how he deals with everything honestly.

“It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.”

Our trio are growing up. I loved those scenes with Harry and Ron struggling to communicate with girls

Reading this part was an absolute delight, it's so different from the movie, the first part that had this many details different than the movie, and many more scenes that never made it to the movies!
My sister rewatched the movies way more than me, I abandoned rewatching in movie 5 or something, so I was comparing notes with her all the time to figure out what wasn't in the movies.
Winkie of course wasn't in the movies even though her rule is huge in the plot.
Ludo Bagman was also not in the movies, but I felt he was there to make us suspicious of him, and not of Moody.
Winkie was there to explain how a cold hearted guy like Barty Crouch Sr would even give a chance for his son to regain his power and go after Lord Voldemort to revive him.
Her kindness was their undoing in a way.
But Barty Crouch Sr wasn't a saint either, the guy was controlling his son after releasing him from Azkaban, even if the kid is evil, that's still another evil, you don't fight a serial killer by locking him up in your basement you call the police lol

It's crazy for me that Barty Crouch Jr was evil at the age of 13, and now Crabbe and Goyle are repeating that now at the age of 14!
How the hell are they even followers of Voldemort when he wasn't around for 13 years? did they get stamped as babies of 1 years old?!

I totally had forgotten the bit about Hagrid being a half giant, but I don't remember a scene in the movie where Albus asked him and Maxime to speak with the giants to try to win them to their side before Voldemort does.

Honestly from the movie after Cedric dies I don't remember anything at all, so those 100 pages were like news to me lol
But even before that I was telling my sister right after Harry and Cedric reached the goblet at the end of a chapter, I think what happened is the Goblet works as a transporter like the shoe at the beginning of the movie, and she said yes, wondering all the time how the fuck I don't remember these things xD

Next part will be also a new experience for me, because starting movie 5 to the end I never rewatched, and right now I don't remember much from Movie 5, and The order of the phoenix being maybe the biggest of the seven books guarantees that there will be over 200 pages of entirely new details.

Update: It's also crazy how they opted out the house elves rights in the movie completely, which was Hermione's biggest role, along with trapping Rita Skeeter, it's like they diminished her role in the story completely.

I also love how Harry learned many new spells this book, they probably equal all the spells he learned in the last 3 books.

You can see a questionable choices of writing style here and there, J.K.Rowling isn't in the best writers in the world conversation at all in my opinion, but she did surpass herself in this part, as she did in every single part, she is improving constantly, and I think that's every writers dream, to make a novel of questionable quality but with great ideas and stories, and then from the money you gain in the first novel, you start feeling more comfortable, financially free, and have the time to work on yourself and make yourself proud of the improvements.
And that's a good thing honestly, because other writers become shittier in the second novel lol

TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN. TRANS MEN ARE MEN. NON-BINARY PEOPLE ARE NON-BINARY.

Harry Potter changed my life and the memories I have associated with it can never be changed or tarnished no matter what its creator says or does. Her comments have caused me so much pain and disappointment and even if one day she realises how ignorant and hateful she has been it is now too late to amend the harm she has caused. Nevertheless, like Daniel Radcliffe said the relationship between a reader and a book is sacred and nothing can change that. Harry Potter is no longer hers and I will continue loving and cherishing this world and these characters forever (and yes, I will be re-reading the series and watching the movies time and time again during my lifetime).

However, I can no longer support her or her future work. Rowling is TRANSPHOBIC and supporting her in any way, shape or form supports her views and harms trans people and the LGBTQ+ community profoundly. I cannot take back the money I have given her already, but I can choose to never again spend money that will go directly in her pockets.

I want to use this space to encourage everyone to support trans authors and read more literature featuring trans characters. This page is a good place to start.

Please consider donating to a trans charity of your choice (MermaidsUK could be a place to start, because they have been directly attacked by Rowling) and click here to find about more trans organisations in the UK and what you can do to help.

If you still love Harry Potter that’s okay but stop supporting Rowling and stop putting any more money in her pockets. Let’s all actively work together to make this fandom inclusive to everyone and show trans people especially that we are a loving community who would never question their identity or experience.

I don't know why I thought I'd actually be able to review these books. I can't. I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said and really I don't think I could manage anything other than some flailing and fangirling. So here you go:

*flails*

*fangirls*

(A) 86% | Extraordinary
Notes: After a steady build, the series hits its stride. Deep and layered, it goes down smooth, never seeming overly complex.

"I is a good elf"

It's been proven three times now, that I always get ahead of myself when reviewing Harry Potter, incorrectly concluding the last one (out of the ones I've read so far) to be the best, but it cannot be helped. The standards are moved up - again. It's like Rowling just had a look at the first books, found them to be way too short, and came up with this one, which is much longer than the previous ones - combined! And the writing style keeps on improving, while plot getting more and more thrilling, making it oh so delightful to read.

"Will you please inform zis 'Agrid zat ze 'orses drink only single-malt whiskey?"

It's great to have that feeling of 'how easy it is to read everything is' still being part of the author's narration. Though the events are being described in much more detail, it does not take away anything in terms of interest. On the contrary, the reader is kept well in suspense, with a number of twists, without making anything too unreal (relative to the world of magic that is). I don't recall ever being more immersed in a book than this one (again, I'm probably getting ahead of myself).

"Alf-giant? Moi? I'ave - I'ave big bone!"

As far as the environs go, I think it's safe to say that we've arrived at darker times, toward which the third book made way for. Though I loved the first three 'relatively-trouble-free' years, this one is certainly more interesting with so much happening, while introducing a whole new set of interesting characters. And the occasional humor complements nicely without distracting the reader too much.
I don't think I'll be able to rest well until I'm done with the series. I kind of feel sad about the readers during original release years, who had to wait year after year for the next book. Must've felt being under 'Crucio'.

"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."

My entire emotions of this book can be summed up nicely by this picture


PUT YOUR PITCHFORKS DOWN OKAY let me explain.

So, I have now come to terms with the fact that 63.34% of this fandom is based on nostalgia, like it’s a decent book but for the HYPE it’s just…..well….


(s)

So Goblet of Fire was over 700 pages and I felt as if the story hadn’t started until the last 10 chapters. 700 PAGES

700 PAGES FOR A MIDDLE SCHOOL BOOK

LIKE THAT’S GOTTA BE SOME HARDCORE, ENTERTAINING ISH IF YOU WANNA GO 700 PAGES but sadly, I felt it was VERY DRAWN OUT and im sorry please don’t hate me I don’t deserve this okay Im a good kid I do the dishes and vacuum my room

So basically harry continues his pursuit in life of being the most special snowflake to ever exist on the blue and green globe, though at points in time, I was beginning to sympathize with the kid

Ron is meh
His FAMILY ON THE OTHER HAND
Molly Weasley is a blessing to this world
The twins are sO precious AND I NEED MORE OF THEM
Percy is meh
Arthur is 9/10

HERMIONE IS PROBABLY THE ONLY CHARACTER THAT I CAN SAY I COMPLETELY AND ENTIRELY ADORE

She’s witty and smart and doesn’t take crap from the boys but is also really loyal and trustworthy basically the best kind of character in this series

Also Sirius, he’s, he’s too good man, he’s just too good



(s)

I also have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the last 5 chapters of the book, why you would ask, BECAUSE THINGS HAPPENED. IT WAS EXCITING, EVENTS TOOK PLACE unlike the rest of the 650 pages which were just drawn out filler

Anyways, im told the next book is better or something, also still looking out for the luna character, apparently she’s a doll

Please forgive me

“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”

2.5 stars!!
