Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

By far, this was my favorite book in the series up to this point.  There is going to be a wizard competition at Hogwart's and somehow Harry's name gets thrown into the pot to compete.  There are tons of visitors and new characters and there is a shocking twist toward the end.  There are mermaids and dragons and magical mazes with danger lurking at every turn.  We see Hermione and Ron begin to realize that they DO have feelings for one another and poor Harry, well he just can't seem to ever find a girlfriend can he?
Through it all, you have the ever present Lord Valdemort skulking around and making plans to get Harry and take control over the magical world.

The writing was great.  The characters are funny and even more developed this time and I did not feel this book dragging like the last one did.

Recommended for 5th grade and up if it is the un-abridged version.
