alexblackreads 's review for:
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
by J.K. Rowling
Reread 3/30/20
Still enjoy Jim Dale's narration okay, but this will never be my favorite book in the series. The tournament always drags for me and I feel like I'm waiting to get to the important stuff rather than invested the whole time.
***
I expected this book to be four stars for me, and I think it was back in the day as well. I find that books written around performing necessary tasks (bucket lists, scavenger hunts, the Triwizard tournament) feel formulaic to me. The pacing feels forced and it doesn't flow as naturally. But, these critiques are relative. I gave this book 4 stars because I love it, as I love ever Harry Potter book. But I do think this book would probably rank as my least favorite of the series (again, a very relative statement).
