Well I had high hopes for this book seeing as it was far longer than the previous books, alas those extra pages were filled with guff. The Quidditch world cup! Then it was back to school and the usual stuff. It's not all bad though, once the charismatic Voldemort makes an appearance things take a dark turn, the writing suddenly gets better and the story becomes interesting. Limbs getting dismembered, kidnapping, slavery and child murder, that Rowling has some balls to put that into a kids book.

I can start to feel the Harry Potter books digging their claws into me now as I've now read plenty about the characters and have got to know them well. I think I only called Harry an idiot 3 times in this book, far less than the previous books.

I suppose I better keep on going to the end.

PS: this is the book where Ron was a total dick for 90% of it.
