Advantages: packed with story

Disadvantages: teeny tiny bit predictable - of course he won't be able to just watch the tournament, he'll be in it

Get ready to cry at the first written death of a character and the re-birth of another. Harry is plunged into a world that he is not ready for when his name is mysteriously entered into the Triwizard Tournament, and he has to complete tasks which are potentially life-threatening. But who would put his name in for such a thing? You'll need to wait 'til the end to find out! Harry is in great danger and along with his tasks he needs to cope with arguments with friends, first romances and some bullying at school.

Kids today now have a realistic hero to look up to (realistic in the sense that he is a believable character - not the fact he can do magic. That would be silly!). All magic aside, Harry deals with the same problems that children today deal with. Prepare to know a lot of answers to the questions you have been asking about the first 3 books and have your hankies at the ready for the end.

Summary: still great even though it's a bit predictable
