Harry Potter and the Latest Magic and Snacks!!

Ok, so I was having trouble sleeping last night, (as usual) and decided to get up and read a bit (which didn't help as much as I thought it would). I finished the Goblet of Fire last night.

My review? It was a fun read. There are things I might have done differently were I writing the book, but still, it was a fun read. Voldemort seemed a little too talkative for my taste though, that's all. I mean, do villans really have to talk that much? C'mon, get with the killing already!

Also, I sometimes get tired of the way Rowling writes...not sure if it's right, but I call it "forced perspective." It's that thing where we only "see" and "experience" what Harry does. We only know what he does, you know? I sometimes want to know what's going on other places at the same time. Like, while Harry had gotten sucked away through the port key at the end of the tournament, what was going on back at the school? Surely they were having discussions and trying to see where he went, right? But no, we don't get to know that. Oh well.

It's easy to see why these books and movies are wildly popular, however. They are, as I've said, fun and action packed, and also full of happy magical snack times. I love happy magical snack times, doesn't everyone?
