And of course, both the book and movie have one of my favorite scenes in the franchise: the return of Voldemort and his duel with Harry. It’s the turning point in the franchise, not only introducing books greater than 500 pages, but introducing a more adult look at the Wizarding World, through Harry’s eyes, as he has to begin dealing with politics and murderers. It marks the return of Voldemort, the transition from innocence to war, and the expansion of the greater Wizarding World. and Sr.).īut it is also arguably one of the most important books in the series, too. On top of that, the movie is by and large my least favorite of the flicks, and the worst adaptation of the source material (I seriously don’t mind Dumbledore not asking Harry calmly if he put his name in the titular Goblet, but the sheer amount of detail they had to cut to make it fit into 157 minutes is frustrating at times, particularly the lack of Sirius in the story, or the depth lost in the stories of Barty Crouch Jr. It is, probably, my least favorite of the books in some ways compared to Harry’s other adventures, the Triwizard tournament was never my favorite story line, and neither was S.P.E.W. It’s hard for me to get into Goblet of Fire, too I distinctly remember this being a contributing factor to my halt in progress. So my rereading frenzy stopped with Azkaban, with the intent, one day, to continue. I’m sure the length of it was what stopped me then not that a 700+ page book was daunting to me- the longer the better- but the fact that there were other things I wanted to read, and I knew it would take me quite a while to get through Goblet and it’s successors. the short ones), but when I got to Goblet of Fire, I stopped.
I sat myself down and decided that it was time, that there were too many things from the books that the movies had washed out of my head, and that I wanted to go back and rediscover them.
I did begin to reread them a couple years back. In fact, I haven’t read the books multiple times like others have I know I’ve reread them before (I reread Sorcerer’s Stone right after I read it the first time, before I realized there were sequels), but some of the books I’m sure I’ve only read once or twice, and certainly I haven’t read them in years.
