The Goblet of Fire was a great addition to the Harry Potter series. In the fourth book of the series the three main characters, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, face greater and darker challanges while handling the hardships of becoming teenage wizards. Compared to the first couple of books this one seems to be for a slighter more mature reader. The dark and evil world is revealed in greater detail and presents more of a threat to the famous Harry Potter than ever before. The end of the book, when Harry and Cedric travel to Lord Voldermort by touching a portkey, is a really scary and intense moment. A fairly good developed character, Cedric, is killed in this part of the book. For young readers this could be alot to handle. I believe this shows the authors intention for the reader to grow as the book and characters grow. This is also the first time you really get to see Harry, Ron, and Hermione develope and deal with feeling towards the opposite sex. The triwizard ball makes it evident that Hermione and Ron have a different relationship growing than Harry and Hermione. Ron then becomes jealous of Victor Krum for liking Hermione. All this while Harry has a secret crush on Cho.
Through out this book Harry faces many challanges other than his interest in Cho and his quarrell with Ron. After being selected to compete in a dangerous competition he did not enter, Harry knows something bad could happen. Along with the three deathly triwizard challanges Harry believes Lord Voldermort is close. On several occasions his famous scar severly began hurting and burning which confirmed his fears that the dark lord may be back. With help from people like Dumbledore, Sirius, Hagrid, and his friends, Harry wins the tournament and escapes Voldermort. The end of the books reveals that dark times may await now that the dark lord is back.
