Synopsis

The summer holidays are dragging on and Harry Potter can't wait for the start of the school year. It is his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and there are spells to be learnt and (unluckily) Potions and Divination lessons to be attended. But Harry can't know that the atmosphere is darkening around him, and his worst enemy is preparing a fate that it seems will be inescapable ...With characteristic wit, fast-paced humour and marvellous emotional depth, J.K. Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master story-teller.

Jacket review

'I can honestly say I can't remember the last time I encountered an author who has had this effect on me. For the first time in years the book lives up to the hype perfection' Daily Express 'The most remarkable publishing sensation for a generation the story is told with such momentum, imagination and irrepressible humour that it can captivate both adults and children' Sunday Express 'Rowling deserves all the plaudits that are being heaped upon her. For once, the word phenomenon is an understatement' Scotland on Sunday 'Extraordinarily vivid and exceptionally well-imagined' Independent on Sunday

UK Kirkus review

The latest Harry Potter adventure opens with the nail-biting Quidditch World Cup. Ron and Harry's good fortune in getting tickets is marred by the appearance of the Dark Mark, which they both know to be Voldemort's signature. Harry realizes he must face the evil forces again when the scar on his forehead begins to hurt. Full of comedy and heartache, the plot belts along carrying Harry into his turbulent teenage years where he must do battle with hormones as well as Voldemort. Look out for a kiss and the death of someone close. (Kirkus UK)
