Just before the start of his fourth year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter gets to attend the Quidditch World Cup with his best friends Ron and Hermione. But dark wizards mar the happy event. This year at Hogwarts, the school is competing against two other magic schools in the Triwizard Tournament. When Harry is unexpectedly selected as school champion, he'll have to navigate the three difficult tasks against much older students if he wants to win.

The longest book in the series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is my favorite by far. I like seeing Harry, Ron, and Hermione start to grow up. The fourth book marks the transition from childhood to teenagers as they are introduced to the greater plots of the adult wizarding world. With great twists and an epic ending, the story impressively keeps you gripped despite its length.
