I had managed to finally finish "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" this Friday. Towards the end of the book, the Death Eaters start a riot, and Harry heads back to Hogwarts for the 4th year of himself being a wizard. The end of the book, is about the competition of the great wizard school of Europe. The magic Goblet of fire will choose the champion to represent each of the school. Harry is chosen, even though he is underage, and Hogwarts already has a champion. This was strange at this time.

As I had read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I had managed to read up to the beginning of the third chapter. Chapter one talks about the riddle house. The second Chapter brings the reader back to the story line of Harry Potter.The book then starts to explain that Lord Voldemort was the leader of the dark side of wizardry. It then explains how he had murdered both of Harry's parents, and how Harry managed to even get the scar of the top of his fore-head. Harry's scar tarts to hurt, and then remembers the last time his car had hurt, Voldemort was nearby.

As I had finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the ending of the book went something like this. Harry, and his 2 other friends, pass the O.W.L.s exams, but Harry is more focused on other troublind ideas such as living with the Dursleys for a summer. Then an owl brings Harry a letter written from Sirius. Sirius reveals in his letter that he had been the one to give Harry the Firebolt. The letter also gives a permission slip for Harry to visit Hogsmeade. Then toward the very end of the book, the Dursleys arrive to pick up Harry at the train station.

I had managed to read up to the chapter "The Dementor's Kiss." As from the previous Chapter, the group continues down the tunnel . The character Sirius Black then realizes that he will be free once Pettigrew is brought into authorities. He wants Harry to come and live with him, and harry is really enthused to do so. When they exit the tunnel, Lupin transforms into a werewolf because he forgets to take his pill. As Pettigrew is still chained up to Ron Weasley, Harry and Hermione rush to the attention of Ron because of the bad condition he is still in.

In the first Chapter of the book, Harry is shown to be in the house of the Dursleys. Then as they are sitting down, Harry gets annoyed of how they are treating him. In his response, Harry uses magic to make Mrs. Dursely inflate like a balloon. After this, Harry leaves the house to catch the Knight bus where he will then return to the wizard world. When he returns, it turns out that there is a prisoner named (Sirius Black) that has escaped from prison and is trying to hunt down Harry. This issue is the least of Harry's concerns.

The book starts out as it describes what a hobbit is, and the village that this specific hobbit (Bilbo Baggins) lives in. Then, as it proceeds it describes the hut or house in which he lives in. The none day Bilbo is outside smoking a pipe outside of his house when an old wizard (Gandalf) appears to him asking him if he would like to attend an adventure. Bilbo politely responds with a no. Bilbo then invites him over for some tea the next day. When he hears a knock on the door the nest day, Bilbo is surprised when he sees a dwarf (Dawlin) come in as 12 others follow.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules by: Jeff Kinney

The first part of Rodrick Rules is focused on Greg's older brother (Rodrick). The whole idea of the book is the events that had gone on that day, in which Greg then writes about in this book. There are really no chapters in the book, but a run on ideas of day to day events that had went on in the fictional characters life. The biggest event that occurs in the book, and is kind of what leads on to further ideas and events in the book is how Rodrick throws a house party in which their parents do not know of. Greg is then framed for the mess he caused leading to more ideas.
