HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE BOOK REVIEW
ReplyDeleteIt is the summer holidays and soon Harry Potter will be starting his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is counting down the days; there are new spells to be learnt, more Quidditch to be played and the Hogwarts castle to continue exploring. But Harry needs to be careful – there are unexpected dangers lurking…
I absolutely love the Harry Potter books and out of the seven I'd probably say that The Goblet of Fire is my favourite, and this is mostly down to the creatures and other wizarding students we meet in the novel. As a lover of Hogwarts it's interesting to know what other wizarding schools are like in the world of Harry Potter, and to explore further the seemingly endless list of creatures.
I can never find a boring or uninteresting moment in The Goblet of Fire and I never get sick of reading it again and again as it's so easy to lose myself in Harry Potter with the astounding events and distinctive characters. I really like how Hermione Granger strives through in this book as not just a clever girl, but as a girl with passion and determination. I like her complex personality; normally she is typecasted into just being 'intelligent', but Hermione is shown with a more girly and emotive side in this book, giving her more depth than just being Harry's clever friend. She is well-rounded and is more accessible as a regular person (though a witch) with feelings and a personality.
In this book we regularly come across Cedric Diggory, a Hufflepuff, who allows us to see the Hufflepuff house in more depth rather than just briefly touching upon it as it has been in other books. I like how we can see the fairness Cedric strives to uphold throughout this book, showing us the value of Hufflepuffs.
Anyone who hasn't read up to The Goblet of Fire should definitely re-think that decision as this is the book where it all changes and it's then impossible to not continue reading the rest of the books.
The Goblet of Fire definitely deserves a 10/10 in my opinion.
Book Review on Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian.
ReplyDeleteInside Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian there is a vast and complex mystery of the great prophecy. In this book, which is the fifth in the Percy Jackson series, Percy is 16 and finally finds out what the ancient prophecy surrounding him is.
The prophecy reveals that the fate of the world rests on Percy’s shoulders. Once again it is left to Percy and his friends to stop untold evil...as always! Which, let’s face it, we all love.
A gargantuan army of evil titans and monsters has threatened to destroy New York and Olympus. Will Percy be able to stop the Titan army or will he fail drastically?
To add to this, Poseidon, the God of the Sea (Percy’s immortal dad), has a big problem on his godly hands. His second home, which is spectacular, is under attack from sea serpents. The rest of the Gods are now fighting Typhon in the East. How can the Gods help to save Percy now?
My favourite character Black Jack, Percy’s doughnut-loving Pegasus, is in this book as well, with daredevil stunts and high-speed getaways. Black Jack is not the only animal he rides in this book. He also rides a giant smelly flying boar, which in fact is not one of Percy’s best ideas.
Rick Riordan manages to write humor even in the darkest times within the story. A story that made me want to read it every second of the day. An amazing story with the underlying question, who is the last Olympian?
I would definitely give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
