Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Book 4

By: J.K. Rowling

Narrated by: Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry brings the richness of these magical stories to life in the original British recordings.

'There will be three tasks, spaced throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different ways ... their magical prowess - their daring - their powers of deduction - and, of course, their ability to cope with danger.'

Treat your ears to a performance so rich and captivating you'll imagine yourself in the halls of Hogwarts. Wherever you listen, the unmistakable voice of Stephen Fry is guaranteed to guide you ever more deeply into this magical story and transport you to the heart of the adventure.

The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!

Critic reviews

"A marriage made in heaven, Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter." (The Times)

The best book of J.K. Rowling

Well, in my opinion this is the best book on Harry Potter’s series, besides being a book that makes a transition on the story. So far, the series has presented Lord Voldemort as a shadow, as a threat many wizards believed was eliminated, and that left many scars in the magical orld.
However, Rowling has so well written the story that it is only possible to understand how real the danger is when we reaches the end of the book, and we are faced with the sudden death of a student. It's as if the author wants to show readers that things are getting very real.
Regarding the narrative, I think it's perfect: the tone of voice, the different voices created to highlight the quality of each character ... everything is great.

Stephen Fry does it again

I have read all the Harry Potter books at least once, but experiencing them as audiobooks is something else.

Each day I couldn’t wait to get out of class to put on my headphones and listen to this story, brilliantly read (as always) by Stephen Fry. It is a joy to listen as Mr Fry gives life to JK Rowling’s magical world - I am well and truly hooked!

I love stephen fry!!!!

He makes harry potter even more exciting than it already is!!! 😍 the performance of the narrator is the most important thing with an audiobook! And stephen fry nails the task eveeeryyyyyy time! 😎

I think the blast ended scrutes are by far the coolest creatures of Harry Potter

I loved the dragons and the blast ended scrutes are awesome also l like wands

Gripping and Now things are getting Real!

Nail bitting story as usual! And true to J.K. Rowling's word, now the story is starting to "Grow up with the main Characters".

Consequences are starting to get real! And, I love Sirius's and The Weasely's love and care Harry!
