Goblet of Fire was my favorite book in the series for a long time. I liked it because I was more close to the characters age - I was 16 at the time - and all the relationships stuff was really fun to read And it also a important book because Voldemort came back, and it's the first book where we actually witness a death so it was really sad too. Sorry if you don't understand what I mean because it's 3AM here __________________

Hey! I need a little help remembering... In GOF, Barty Jr as Mad-Eye Moody borrowed Harry's Hogwarts map. My question is, how did Harry get it back?
Thanks! __________________

I'm re-reading the books as well. Summer holidays have started and I'm about halfway through GoF. I want to be finished by Christmas - remember when you could read the whole series in a week???
I can't remember a specific scene where Harry gets the Marauder's Map back from fake-Moody, but I can only assume it occurred after the Final Task, when Barty Crouch Jr was discovered. __________________

I finished GOF a week ago and I'm a quarter through OotP, but for the life of me I can't remember if/when/how Harry got his Marauders' Map back. If you get to that part in GOF will you let me know. I know that Barty Jr was given veritaserum and he spilled everything, even everything about Harry's map, but I just can't remember what happens to the map. Thanks! __________________

Still, wouldn't an "untenanted office" have been stripped of everything. I mean Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall all heard about the map, I would think that Snape would have wanted to confiscate that from Harry. Or maybe, JKR could've written that everything in fake Moody's office was packed and given to the real Moody and the real Moody could've come across the map and given it back to Harry... but to have Harry just walk into an empty office and easily get the map back just seems a bit off. lol Now that's just going to bother me a bit. __________________

I think that Harry is fairly crafty and he knew that the map would not be safe in the fake-Moody's office while Snape was swooping around, so as soon as he had a chance, he went in and grabbed it before anyone thought too hard about the contents of the office. Also, I don't think the office would have been packed up. The real Moody was there after all and all that stuff did belong to him.

I finished last night. I read the whole thing. It always take the longest to read this book and I usually skip the chapter where Voldemort gets his body back - it freaks me out too much, but I sucked it up this time and got through it. The bit where Cedric dies kills me every time.
I think my favourite bit is the letter from Mrs Weasley arrives at Privet Drive and Uncle Vernon's internal struggle. __________________

of all the books, I think this one had the faultiest plot.
I have never understood why Crouch had to make the cup a portkey. why go through all that trouble? couldnt he have used one of Harrys quills, or his pillow, or something? (have a house elf bring it up to his dorm with the linen, or so...) and how did he manage to get obstacles out of Harrys way in the maze, and curse the others? the whole school was watching! wouldnt they notice? |
