J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has caught my attention. Harry Potter is the fourth Harry Potter book. The story revolves around a young boy named Harry, who is a wizard in training. Harry is a young wizard in training who competes at the Triwizard Competition. He never entered his name because he would not have qualified. It means that another person entered Harry’s name in the Goblet of Fire. I’m currently on page 726. This book has a general feeling of being too long. Author included unnecessary events and scenes that did not add to the plot. After about three weeks I stopped reading the book because I was bored. But recently, I returned to it and found the story more interesting.
The book’s part where Voldemort has been reborn was quite gory compared to other parts. Voldemort had used blood to make the rebirth-potion, and I was shocked that he could reach Harry. The author of this book wrote it a little unrealistically, as many books mention how Voldemort could never reach Harry. This part of the book was not my favorite. The story became very strange and confusing.
The movie was easier to follow and more entertaining than the book. The movie was more enjoyable and easier to understand than the book. The book was too long for me to read, and the movie was more suited to my attention span. Watching the movie helped me visualize parts of the book that were difficult to imagine. In my opinion, the book should not have remained as a single novel, but instead be split into two.
J.K. Rowling has a way of writing that I find interesting. The Britishness of her accent is likely to be the reason for this. She writes fantasy topics, and that is one of the genres I enjoy reading. Fantasy novels are my favorite because they’re always imaginative and don’t usually have much story that takes place in reality. J.K. Rowling’s work is a great example. She created an entirely new world, yet still included England’s real world. I like how she switches between the two worlds. The plot is designed so the magic world remains hidden from the “muggles” or humans. Otherwise, the worlds could conflict and make me confused as a book reader.
Harry Potter is like Percy Jackson of The Lightning Thief book series. I love both of them, and their main characters are in each book. They both discover their special abilities later in life. This is why they are similar. Harry Potter is 10 years older than Percy, who discovers that he has the powers of a magician at 12. They have a lot in common, especially when you consider that both characters could have begun to realize they were unique at any stage of their lives. Both characters face enormous pressures to “save world”. They are unlikely heroes. Percy is a Greek mythology fan, and all the Greek gods are real. He usually had to deal with monsters. Harry’s world secret is filled with wizards and witches. It also includes giants.
Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire is a movie I enjoyed. The majority of characters were already developed in the first three books. The book took a long time to read and was too long. I find it easier to read 12 books that are about 300 pages each than a 7-book series where half have 700+ pages. It was my favorite book from the entire series.
