Review
In this fourth installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry is thrust against his will into the Triwizard Tournament – a competition for which he is his underaged and underqualified. Is someone trying to get him killed? Furthermore, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are experiencing the first pangs of teenaged angst. They all feel misunderstood and a bit angry at times. Will they be able to overcome their emotions in order to quash the rising power of Lord Voldemort? Well, at least they’ll have a lot of adventure while they’re trying. One of the highlights of this book is meeting the students of the two other large wizarding schools in Europe: The dark and broody students from Durmstrang and the too-formal sissies from Beauxbatons. (Ok, maybe they’re not ALL sissies.) 😉 This is my favorite book of the series because it has *swoon* Viktor Krum. It is also the first book in the series with “mature” content. It’s longer, moodier, and more dangerous than the first three. And, it’s the first book in the series to leave significant strings untied – leaving room for more plot development. I’m SO glad Rowling knew what to tie up and what to leave open though. She’s managed to leave a reasonable opening without cliffhangers. I really appreciate that. Thank you Ms. Rowling!

Hey! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I have to say I was more a fan of Cedric, but even then, I wasn't that drawn to any of the HP characters. Crush-wise at least. Rowling is great at creating characters.

Love Harry Potter, but I have to say that I never like Krum (maybe because he asked Hermoine out)

Ha! I never would've thought about that! I didn't get the chance to read the entire series but when I saw him in the movie, I definitely looked twice 😉

I don't generally get crushes on characters. I think Viktor Krum and Fitzwilliam Darcy are the only two.

I think I was so disgusted by the way they made him into a stupid brute in the movie that I didn't appreciate just how attractive he was until recently!

Interesting, I never thought of Viktor Krum as crush material, probably cuz I knew that if Hermione ever fell in love with him she would kick my arse all the way into a dragons nest 😛

I guess I always knew Hermione wouldn't end up with him. 🙂 But he certainly spiced up her relationship with Ron. 😉
