In Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, Harry Potter, the protagonist, experiences multiple obstacles that he has to overcome. Although his friends, Hermione and Ron, are always by his side, helping him through the way as they discover clues about the mysterious Voldemort.

    Harry Potter is attending Hogwarts School for his fourth year. Although this year is a little different, instead of Quidditch, there will be the Triwizard Tournament that occurs once every hundred years. Everybody wishes they could compete in the tournament but sadly, contestants have to be at least 17 years old. No one knows all

of the mysteries the tournament holds.

Upon Harry’s return to Hogwarts, Dumbledore announces the tournament. Everybody is astounded by the thrilling news. Though, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are disappointed because they’re too young to compete. Dumbledore sets out a Goblet of Fire and lets whoever is old enough, enter their name if they wish to do so. The next day, Dumbledore figures out who will be competing in the tournament. He mentions the names, Cedric Diggory, Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour, and Harry Potter. Everyone is bewildered by what they just heard for Harry Potter is not old enough to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. People start to think Harry cheated and somehow entered himself in the tournament. The book, Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire, is about Harry getting through a series of three tasks while encountering mysterious signs of Voldemort along the way.

    The author J.K. Rowling does an amazing job of detail and characterization in this book. The way she portrays Hermione as a smart, confident young lady is so important to the plot. Even characters like Neville and Seamus are vital to the book because while the part they play is little, the book wouldn’t be the same without them. The way they stand up to Malfoy and support Harry enhances the book greatly. The author also does an incredible way of foreshadowing important details throughout the book. J.K. Rowling gives off little hints that you wouldn’t have even realized mattered until the end of the story. For instance, I never would have thought that the Triwizard Cup was portkey until Voldemort explained it to Harry. While sometimes the detail can be a little abundant, it is worth the 734 pages.
