Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
By:J.K. Rowling
This book is a winner because it has magic and magical creatures like Dobby and Winky, Buckbeak and the magical worms. There's wizards and witches, headmasters, dragons, mermaids, transfiguring and more magic. I dream of being magical and I want to fly........if only I can get rid of my fears of heights. Also, because it's mysterious, you don't know what's going to happen until the last minute, you don't know it until it hit's you in the face, like the screaming book and the portkey. It's adventurous too. Like when they were at the World Quidditch Cup game, the masked people were destroying things in the middle of the night. Harry lost his wand while running away. I think this book is a winner because I like it, any book that I really get into and enjoy, reading it fast, then it's a winner to me! that's why I think you'll enjoy it too!!!!
MAJOR EVENTS
Harry Potter is at his fourth year at Hogwarts, a school for witchcraft and wizardry. He has been entered into the Twizard Tournament by someone. His friends, Ron, Weasley and Hermione Granger, are helping him complete the three tasks. There are three tasks to be done, the first task was to get past the Dragon and retrieve the goblet of fire without falling of your broomstick. The second task was to find-out how to get the message out from the goblet of fire and use the clues to rescue their special someone from the mermaids before the person is lost forever. The third task was to get through the maze and to the trophy first, but the trophy wasn't a real trophy, it was really a portkey. A portkey is an object that when you touched it , it will transport you to another place. Harry and Cedric touched it and it transported them to Voldemort, the evil wizard. They douled and you will find out when you read this fabulous book!FAVOURITE SCENE
My favourite scene was when Harry was in the maze with the Sphinx. A magical creature that asks riddles that depends on your life or death. Harry had to get pass the Sphinx to get to the trophy fastest, but he had to answer this riddle......
First think of a person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secret and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
The middle of middle, the end of end?
And finally give me the sound often heard
During a hard to find word.
Now string them together and answer me this
Which creature would be unwilling to kiss?
Can you answer this riddle?
