While the opening books were genuinely full of child-like joy and adventure this one upped the ante considerably. If the previous book had a slightly harder edge this took that further and added more depth and sophistication.

This is the book where I think JK Rowling really decided to get a bit more serious. With its message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners. Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter audiobooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to listeners of all ages. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons, and dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive! Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. ''There will be three tasks, spaced throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different ways.their magical prowess - their daring - their powers of deduction - and, of course, their ability to cope with danger.''
