I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling. This book is the fourth in the Harry Potter series, about a young wizard-in-training named Harry. In this fantasy novel, Harry enters the Triwizard Competition, but never entered his name into the running because he was too young and would not have qualified. This means that someone else put their name in the Goblet of Fire. There are 733 pages and I'm on page 726. My overall reaction to this book is that it's too long and wordy. The author included many unnecessary events that were not relevant to the plot. Halfway through the book I got really bored and couldn't read it for about 3 weeks, but then I recently started reading the book again and the story became more engaging. Say no to plagiarism.

I was surprised when Voldemort was able to touch Harry because he had used blood in the rebirth potion. A lot of books talk about how great Voldemort is and how he could never touch Harry, so I thought the author wrote this part a bit unrealistically and it was completely out of plot. I didn't enjoy reading this part of the novel at all. It got weird and very confusing. This book was worse than the movie version because it only took me two or three hours to watch and understand the movie, and the book took me at least ten hours to read. I liked the movie better because it was easier to follow than the book and was, in a way, funnier. Reading the book got very old because it was so long, but the movie was within my attention span. The book was hard to visualize at times and watching the movie made it easier. The book, in my opinion, should have been divided into two novels instead of remaining one. I like JK Rowling's writing because she writes in an interesting way. His writing tone is different from that of the authors I am used to reading; this is most likely due to the fact that she is British. He writes about fantasy topics, which is one of my favorite genres to read. I like fantasy novels because they are always so imaginative and usually don't have much of the story set in the real world. This is what JK Rowling does. He created his own world, while including the real world of England. I like the way he makes the transition; has the plot set up in such a way that the entire wizarding world is hidden from "muggles" (humans). Any other way, the worlds would be in conflict and for me, as a reader, I would be confused. Harry Potter is similar to Percy Jackson from The Lightning Thief book series. They are both my favorite characters in any series and are the main characters in their books. Neither person discovers their special powers until later in life, which certainly makes them similar. Percy discovers he is the son of Poseidon at age 12, and Harry Potter discovers he is a wizard at age 10, and these ages are very close. Considering the fact that both people could have started to realize that they were different from the rest of the human world at any point in life, they are very similar. Both characters are under enormous pressure to “save the world” – they are both unlikely heroes. However, they are totally different as Percy's secret world is Greek mythology; all Greek gods really exist. His missions typically involved monsters. Harry's secret world includes wizards, witches, giants and wizards-turned-wizards..
