The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can't wait for the start of the school year. It is his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and there are spells to be learnt and (unluckily) Potions and Divination lessons to be attended. But Harry can't know that the atmosphere is darkening around him, and his worst enemy is preparing a fate that it seems will be inescapable. With characteristic wit, fast-paced humour and marvellous emotional depth, JK Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master story-teller. 'Somewhere in this enchanting mixture is a formula so brilliant it eludes analysis. Rich and demanding stuff.' - Mail on Sunday. 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has finally been unleashed. And is it good! You bet it is. Harry's - and our - fourth year at Hogwarts is funny, full of delicious parodies of our own world, and wildly action-packed.' - Times.
