Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire

This book is about Harry's Fourth year of school at Hogwarts and this year there are visitors and speak of challenges for these visitors and people of higher years than Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione but somehow his name has been pulled out of the goblet of fire! Which makes him a candidate for the challenges. His challenges get harder as he keeps winning and as he goes he wonders who jinxed the goblet of fire to make his name fly out of it. Because these challenges are deadly and whoever the person was, was not doing him a favor. Whoever it was wants to kill him Hermione says.

The general narrator of this book is first person because Harry is telling his own story. I would recommend this to an audience of 12 and up because there is violence and probably a little bit of swearing so its not very suitable to little children. I would definitely recommend this book because it is a page turner and it makes you feel like you are actually there experiencing the beautiful world of magic.
