Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

by J.K. Rowling

By the time Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire came out in 2000, the series was already a major international publishing phenomenon, with kids lining up at bookshops to buy the latest instalment. The book was over 600 pages long, but rather than being seen as a hurdle, its length was welcomed by many readers as a chance to spend longer in the magical world J.K. Rowling had made so vivid. By now, the three main characters, Harry, Ron and Hermione are aged 14 and romantic interests start playing a role in the stories. That said, it’s not the main plotline, and the main draw of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a compelling wizarding tournament.
