[Flurries} Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling - 5 stars

[Theresa]

There was SO MUCH detail and plot threads that I had forgotten! Good as the movie adaptation is, it cannot compare with the book. This time as I reread it, I took my time and just savored it, enjoyed all the clues threaded throughout. I loved the whole moldy shoe portkey travel to the World Quidditch match, and could absolutely visualize and hear the whole event as described. I always love the time spent at the Burrow with the Weasleys, and what a hoot their attempt to travel by floo to collect Harry. I cried in the cemetery as all appeared out of Voldemort's wand, a reaction I don't have when watching the movie. And had completely forgotten how Hermione gets back at Rita Skeeter! I do think I spotted a small mistake by Rowling at the very end .... will know better once I get a few pages into the next.

Once again, I'm reading the gorgeous British paperback editions - just look at this cover!
