Synopsis: Harry Potter is midway through his training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup. He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. But unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal - even by wizarding standards. And in his case, different can be deadly.

Review: Like any Harry Potter book, this one was stupendous! I love all the little things about this book and I find more and more every time I reread them. The characters are very well developed and they are aging very well. The story is complex, but well done, and the writing is stupendous.

However, the beginning is a bit hard to get into. Like, it took me 100 pages to really want to read it. Kinda weird.

Verdict: Read this series!
