I am really looking forward to reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I am not ashamed to say that as a child I was a Harry Potter fanatic. I was the kid standing in line at Barnes and Noble the day the books were released. I love these books. I do not believe there is a better children’s series in the world that teaches children valuable lessons while making it interesting. I learned more from these books than my parents could ever teach me about good over coming evil, doing the right thing, and standing up for what you believe in.
I feel J.K. Rowling’s use of symbolism in this book is amazing. Everything in this book represents something else. Her use of combining a fantasy world with the real world at the same time is astonishing. Her writing style is intriguing. It will have me buried in this book where I can not put it down until I am finished.
I recently watched an interview on Oprah with J.K. Rowling. I highly recommend it to anyone curious about her life and how Harry Potter was created. She was so very poor, and her mother passed away right before the first book, The Sorcer’s Stone, was released. This woman has truly overcome a lot and stands as inspiration to me to follow my dreams, despite life’s obstacles.
