Harry Potter en francais worth the read..., May 30, 2002
This review is from: Tiens Bon, Charlie Brown (Paperback)
Ok, I have been a Harry Potter fan since I read the English version, so I decided to try my luck at the French version, as French is another one of my favorite hobbies. Now, I am only a second year French student, but I could understand quite a bit of the story, and it really is fun to read. I would definitely suggest to all my fellow French-speakers out there, who happen to love Harry Potter or only want to see what the craze is all about, to try the French series. It's fun and helps you learn French! And for those that are familar with the English version, I would suggest getting a translation sheet from the Internet, because some of the names have been changed, and they are found through search engines and are free! Just try this, good luck and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, March 9, 2003
This review is from: Tiens Bon, Charlie Brown (Paperback)
J.K. Rowling's novel, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth book in the series. Each novel revolves around Harry Potter and his life as he goes through wizard school. Although it makes this book more interesting it is not necessary to read the previous books in the series in order to comprehend this book. Rowling writes in a fashion that provides adequate information, allowing the book to stand alone.
The novel opens by telling about the mysterious death of a family, the Riddles. The suspect was the house caretaker,Frank, but nothing was ever proven. Despite the fact that the house is empty Frank still maintains it and one evening he sees something odd occuring in the house. He goes inside and encounters Lord Voldemort and Wormtail. Voldemort is the enemy of Harry Potter and is out to get him. From this point on Voldemort and his accomplice set out on the mission to capture Harry Potter and destroy him after they get what they need from him. Harry Potter is an extraordinary wizard and has previously defeated Lord Voldemort, and now he seeks revenge. The plot covers every event in Harry's fourth year at Hogwart's School of Wizardry and finally a battle between Harry and Lord Voldemort, which makes for an exciting ending.
Rowling's style of writing is so entertaining and fun , that any age reader can enjoy it. Even though the characters are imaginary, Rowling brings Harry and the others to life in her novel. I would recommend this novel to anyone. It is a great read and will definitely hold your attention.
