Book Twenty-Three: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

I had forgotten how the story of young Harry Potter shifts in year four. The Triwizard Tournament is the forum for isolating existence.  If it can happen to Harry, it does in this year and exhaustively so.  Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire tries to hard to grow our favorite wizard  It is an unfavorable opinion, no doubt, and one that my Sweet Niece disagrees with.

She is enjoying Harry's adventures and the Triwizard Tournament hasn't begun.  It troubles her that Ron and Harry aren't talking.  She's fascinated by Mad-Eye Moody, intrigued by the Beauxbatons and entertained at the thought of Hagrid and Madam Maxime.  We both refer to her as 'Maxine'.

She takes Rowling's story as it is meant to be--fantastical.  Whereas, I've been eye-rolling behind every hardship. Harry can't catch a break in this book--unrealistically, so--to which Sweet Niece rebuffs me with her 'it's so obvious, kuku' reply of  "Well, of course not.  That would make the book boring."

As she see it, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is another fabulous year at Hogwarts.  And as I see it, she's probably right.
