Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Mary Grandpre. Year Four at Hogwarts finds Harry enjoined as the surprising fourth contestant in the Triwizard Tournament during which he finds his way through a maze that leads to the dark wizard Voldemort and to the death of one of the other contestants. The emotional impact is disappointingly slight, and the characterization seems to be getting thinner. As a transitional book, however, Goblet of Fire does its job--thoroughly if facilely--and raises some tantalizing questions.
