This book is a continuing one of the sequel Harry Potter. In the beginning, the book starts as always, Harry escapes from his overruling aunt, uncle, and cousin to go to the place that brings him the most happiness, Hogwarts Magic School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Only, this time is different, two other magic schools appear for a Triwizard competition, a competition held with three schools with a series of tough and life-threatening tasks to bring your school glory. One student from each school will be selected within 10 days, and you have to put a piece of paper with your name in a goblet arousing of fire to enroll. The age limit to enter the tournament is 18, and Harry is only 14. The selection day finally begins, and three students are picked, but surprisingly, a fourth paper springs out mysteriously. The Name on the paper is none other than Harry Potter. Everyone is shocked as to how this happened, he is then forced to play games that involve things like capturing an egg from a dragon and fending off mermaids to save a friend. The final game is to go through an obstacle-filled maze to grab the Triwizard Cup. He and another competitor touch the cup in unison, but the cup turns out to be a portkey, an item used to transport people to a specific destination when touching it. He and the other competitor, Cedric, teleport to a place seen in Harry’s uncomforting dreams. He then realizes that this was a trap so that Lord Voldemort could finally have a duel with Harry in peace. After finishing off Cedric, Voldemort wants to do the same with Harry, but in a professional manner, and as they both duel, Harry quickly backs out and touches the portkey to return back to Hogwarts. He brings Cedric’s body back in memory of him, but this Triwizard Tournament continues to be yet another event to remember when Harry Potter escaped death from Voldemort. Overall, my reaction to the book was very surprising. I had no idea that the whole reason why Harry was selected for the tournament was so that Voldemort could kill him. I also felt very edgy during the book as many of the challenges that Harry had to face were life-threatening as he became on the verge of death multiple times. In the end, though, I have to say that it is a good book that incorporated emotions like suspense, sadness, happiness, and mystery very soothingly. If you love fiction and fantasy, this book is a thriller for you. It has all the elements to keep readers on the edge and unpredictable. Written by the highest-paid author in the world, this book already as many reviews that still won’t do justice to how amazing the book is.
