Resumo de Harry Potter And The Gobelt Of Fire

Harry Potter and the goblet of fire is the fourth book in the Harry Potter series which is written by author J.K. Rowling. The book is 734 pages in total and is much longer than the three previous books in the series. In this book the author builds on characters and shows the transition which the three main characters (Harry, Ron and Hermione) make from kids to young adults. Compared to its predecessors this book is very scary and is darker than the other three books combined. The book contains, in my opinion, too many scenes with the dark lord and villain of the series, Voldemort and not as many happy scenes as its predecessors which contributes greatly to its darkness. The book may also scare its younger readers as a result of the prolific aspect of darkness and gruesome final scenes which see the death of a Hogwarts student, self mutilation and the barbaric torture of the hero of the series Harry Potter.

The book my also confuse its younger readers as the author attempts to enter the teenage sexuality aspect of adolescence which to be honest could confuse even its older readers when characters who have been close friends throughout their schooling life at Hogwarts suddenly develop a sexual interest in each other. The teen sexuality aspect of this book may also deter younger readers who are not comfortable with the idea of closeness and sexual interest in the opposite sex. As the book is much longer in length young readers may forget small and seemingly insignificant details mentioned in the begging of the story which develop into large and major themes toward the end of the book. An example of this is seen in the third chapter when a wizard is accused of casting the ?dark mark?, a symbol which is feared by all wizards as it is the mark of the evil dark lord Voldemort. This accusation is later found to be wrong and leads Harry, Ron and Hermione to the true culprit of not only the dark mark but also many other serious wizarding crimes.

The storyline is complex and is impossible to follow unless you have read its predecessors as many terms and characters are mentioned who are major factors in understanding the storyline of the book. Readers of all ages may also lose interest as the storyline tends to drag during the Yule ball scenes. This is because the chapter?s sole purpose is to illustrate the main characters transition into adolescence and does not relate to the storyline dramatically in any other way throughout the book. The author does however set up scenes for future books although while reading these characters and events may seem unrelated, however on the downside this may further confuse younger readers. J.K. Rowling also tends to use a lot of British slag in her writing and although this is helpful in demonstrating the setting of the story it does however confuse its readers with words such as gormless translating to clueless and mankey meaning dirty. This book is written poorly for its 9-to-12 year old target audience as it often borderlines on a faux gothic horror novel due to its intense dark and scary scenes which have been touched on earlier in this article. However, the book is very well written and extremely engaging and enjoyable for older readers. If not analysed from the perspective of its 9-to-12 year old target audience this book would be extremely hard to fault.
