The 48 Hour Book Challenge - Post 6 - HP and The Goblet of Fire

Every year I re-read the Harry Potter series in anticipation of the movie.  This year I decided I would get the adult editions from Bloomsbury UK and see if they are any different. With the exception of a few words and a variant in spelling, so far the books are the same. 

I mostly expected this one to be different because it marks the beginning of all the darkness and the first death.  I'm just a little over half done - they've finished the first task in the TriWizard Tournament and we've had the Yule Ball.  We'll see if things change once we get to the maze.

    My teen likes to reread the HP series in the summer. But neither of us is fond of book 5 which we refer to as The Book of Suck. Everyone's just so unhappy in that one.

    Have a great reading day!
