Harry Potter is midway through his training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup. He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. But unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal - even by wizarding standards. And in his case, different can be deadly.

The 4th in the series is probably my favorite of all of them! It's where HP starts adopting the darker tone it stays true to throughout the 7th book.
This is definitely my favorite Harry Potter book so far, although I really think I would like it best if the fun wizard-y things remained and all the dark, creepy wizard stuff was taken out. Basically, I would have enjoyed a book about wizard camping and the Triwizard Tournament tasks, without any of the return of the dark lord. The creativity and world-building continue to be incredible. And that includes all of the dark parts, which are so well-written and why I could definitely do without them. I will say that the reveal of who Voldemort's servant at Hogwarts was legitimately surprised me–I had spent a lot of the book sifting through the clues.
