A 4.5 star read. This book is just darker, deeper and generally more juicy than the other three books. I love that the plot and the character developments progressed more significantly in this book. I love the Tri-Wizard tournament events. I loved Cedric diggory and I was heartbroken all over again at his death. I also have a soft spot for Krum as well and I loved meeting Bill and Charlie Weasley in this novel. I found it super interesting to re read this book and notice the discrepancies between the film and book for example the scene with the merpeople (yes people not just women) was entirely different and less violent than the film depicts. Also both Durmstrang and Beauxbatons are mixed sex schools not all boys and all girls schools like the film suggests. Also the memories in Dumbledores pensieve were different than the one dramatic memory shown in the movie. Also I never remembered Rita Skeeter being a beetle and writing articles about the champions, Hermione and Hagrid until re reading this book. I also forgot about Winky so that was a lovely surprise to remember her. Overall this book is just much more thought out and richer than the first three books so I give this book 4.5 stars and I can't wait to continue with this series!
