Length: 636 pages
After the Quidditch World Cup final, Harry returns to Hogwarts for his fourth year. Things will be slightly different this year, as his name is drawn from the Goblet of Fire, which means he must compete in the Triwizard Tournament. Can he finish the tasks, and come out the other end alive?
Back at Hogwarts we are treated with yet another Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher: Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody. He's a retired Auror doing a favour for Dumbledore.
This book definitely takes a turn to the darker side, as you learn more about the true power of the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters. Harry spends so much time preparing for the Triwizard Tournament tasks that you kind of forget Lord Voldemort is trying to make a comeback.
It's nice to meet other students from other wizarding schools. Although why some feel the need to keep their location a secret is strange. Fair enough keeping it secret from Muggles, but from each other?
Hermione becomes obsessed with house elves' rights, and creates a group called Society for the Promotion of Elvish Welfare aka SPEW. Needless to say it's not a hit.
The Dark Lord has risen once more! Things are going to get very bad...
