What this book is about
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the series' turning point: Harry is entered in the Triwizard Tournament against his will, Voldemort returns at the climax in a graveyard sequence of genuine horror, and Cedric Diggory is killed — the first time the series kills a character the reader has come to care about. At 734 pages it is the first truly long book, and the wizarding world expands significantly. A confident volume that earns its darkness.
