CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was published in 2000. At 636 (UK)/734 (US) pages, this book was by far the longest to date (although it didn’t stay that way for long!). In Book Four we were introduced to the Quidditch World Cup; to Durmstrang and Beauxbatons; to veela, merpeople, and Hungarian horntails; to the three tasks of the Triwizard Tournament; to Rita Skeeter and her Quick-Quotes Quill; to dress robes and dancing; to Death Eaters and the Dark Mark; and to priori incantatem, our first great loss, and the rise of Voldemort.
Several comment threads will be started with questions to get the discussion rolling. Feel free to reply to as many or as few as you’d like, or start new threads with questions or comments of your own. Book Four contains an enormous amount of plot, new characters, and content-my questions only address a few specific points, so please see fit to bring up anything I may not have mentioned!
