Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Goblet of Fire is my favorite book in the series. This book is really when everything takes off. There's a ton of set up in the first couple books to get to this point. Lots of characters to introduce, spells and concepts to be mentioned and so forth. Now as we're to the middle point of the series, things get super complicated and even more interesting.

With the book being 20.5 hours long, thank goodness for a good narration performance by Jim Dale. He brings the characters alive and just puts to much feeling into his performance that I can just fall into the story. I have nothing bad to say about Jim Dale's work and would gladly listen to him read the phone book if he read it like this book.

Obviously don't start the series at this point, but if you like fantasy, I encourage listening to this series.
