The third book in the renowned Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire follows the iconic trio Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter. Opening the book is not Harry Potter, the protagonist, but instead focuses on the antagonist of the story, Voldemort. A rather unconventional beginning, it talks about how the rich Riddle family was murdered, of which no one knew why. The first few chapters of the book end with Frank, a long time gardener of the deceased Riddle family, getting killed by Voldemort. Jolting Harry wide awake, and his scar hurting viciously he decides to ignore that encounter thinking it was only a dream.

Surprisingly, the Dursleys actually let him go and instead of being a fun experience it soon turns deadly. …show more content…

J.K Rowling has written such an intricate and captivating world there is no wonder why Harry Potter is one of the most iconic characters of all time. This book dives into the backstory of characters which shows the audience that the main three, Harry, Hermione, and Ron are not perfect. With this book, the reader gets to explore and learn about the new history and magic the world provides. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend because of how much Harry gains in knowledge by the end of the book. By the end, Harry had witnessed death and it truly changed the character as we know it. If I could change the end of the story I would save Cedric’s life. Though his death really changes Harry, Cedric was innocent and had no knowledge that anything was going to happen. Cedric was going places and it was sad to see him killed when he could have done so much

    In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, there are several themes that the author (J.K. Rowling) used to depict Harry’s adventures realistically – or as realistically as possible in a fantasy world. The conflict of good and evil is an extremely pervasive theme through the entire series, and drives nearly all of the books’ action. The characters in Harry Potter’s world are defined harshly by which “side” they are on, and readers tend to become frustrated when the lines between the two are blurred. Voldemort, the antagonist of the series, embodies pure evil and provides a convenient, easy-to-hate villain for Harry to battle. Rowling created Voldemort almost as a foil for Harry, allowing the reader to compare and contrast their characteristics.
