Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

by J.K. Rowling, 734 pages

Ron invites Harry to join his family for the summer and a trip to the Quidditch World Cup.  The excitement of the game is eclipsed by Muggle baiting and the appearance of the Dark Mark.  These are only portents of things to come.  When Harry arrives back at Hogwarts, the school is swept up in the excitement surrounding the Triwizard Tournament.  However, Harry suspects someone might be using the tournament to lure him into danger.

This is one of my favorite books in the series, because so much happens.  I love the rich details and all the new characters.  Rowling really expands her world, and Harry comes to a better understanding of his place and importance in it.
