From The Publisher:
Lord Voldemort, the dark wizard responsible for the deaths of Harry's parents, is growing stronger. At the Quidditch World Cup, Voldemort's signature Dark Mark appears in the sky over the stadium, causing pandemonium. The lightning-bolt-shaped scar on Harry's forehead is sporadically causing him agonizing pain, and he is also hearing disturbing voices. Harry realizes that all this is the result of a strong connection between himself and the Dark Lord, one that is putting him in grave danger. Back at Hogwarts, the students are getting ready for the upcoming Triwizard Tournament. Witches and wizards from two other schools are coming to Hogwarts for the year to compete in a series of grueling contests. The tournament is open only to students age 17 and above, but when someone secretly enters Harry's name, he is forced to compete. How can a 14-year-old possibly pass tests that might be fatal to an advanced wizard? And with the threat of Lord Voldemort looming, will he be able to focus on the tournament at all? For Harry, his friends, and everyone in the Wizarding world, the stakes are about to become much higher. This fourth installment, with a heart-pounding and emotional climax, serves as a turning point in the series, for the reader and for Harry himself.

This is "THE" turning point in Harry Potter series. A whole level up in Wizardry. JK Rowling expanded the wizarding world to new extent by introducing few more wizard schools with a diversity of humans/creatures. A bit of action compared to the books till now. Wizarding tournament, concept of Portkeys, House elf liberation (the bit that dragged the book), concept of Aurors was a great treat to a person like me.
But I really loved Mad-Eye Moody or the con man in there. CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!! I feel cheated as Mad-Eye Moody is a great character. And Finally the Dark Lord Voldemort has a FACE though no nose, at least he is imaginable from here.
I am only sad that the dragons are a bit dumb in here. They don't talk and think themselves as mightily.
Happy Reading!!
It's Harry freaking Potter! One of the longer installments in the series, Harry is distracted by difficulties in relationships and friendships.
I would probably give this one a 4.75 out of 5 stars. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely loved it. I just found some parts slower than others. Still an amazing read!
Never has an author created a number of new book-readers as J.K.Rowling has. She has not just narrated a refreshingly new story, but she has created a whole new world. The detailing of characters and locations are a class apart. The quality of writing is simple yet elegant. It's not just a book for kids, as some would like to think. Readers of any age can enjoy it. This is the biggest book of the series. The series keep getting better and better.
