Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

I started my holiday in Norway by reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on the ferry to Kristiansand and I decided to end my holiday on the same note and read the next Harry Potter. Reading a good book always makes the feeling of the holiday ending a little bit less painful.

In this book we follow Harry during his fourth year at Hogwarts. But before school has even started the trouble is starting. Harry got to go to the Wizarding World Cup with Ron and his family, but the don’t leave with only the memories they expected to get. After that the year at school gets even more strange and exciting.

“It is a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up.”

I think I am one of the few persons how liked the movie better than the book for this one. For some reason the estetic from the movie feels perfect to me. What I liked from this book is the amount of personality the trio is building. From reading the story you can really see them growing up into there own person.

“Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.”

These books bring back so many great childhood memories like reading the books with my dad and wathing the movies with friend while acting as one of the characters.

Again a 5-star review from me.
