Just Right

1. Right now Harry just completed his first task which was an extremely difficult. He had to find a way to get an egg that was underneath a dragon. He was tipped off about the challenge previously by Hagrid. Hagrid was telling Harry how there wasn't much to worry about unless he got one of the worst dragons. To Harry's luck he got the most dangerous one the Horntail. This dragon was the most vicious out of all of the other dragons put together. Harry was smart enough to get his broom and lure the dragon away from the egg and grab it on his way back. Meanwhile, Ron is still angry with Harry because Ron thinks that Harry put his name into the Goblet without Harry telling him where in reality someone put Harry's name in without Harry's knowing. 

2. Right now I really like this book. It is so much better then any of the other Harry Potter books that I have read. In the other ones they were all about Harry and school and how at all times he is fighting a war with Voldemort. This one is more about how is Harry going to survive the most dangerous game that there is. This game is about how well one can act under pressure and if they can keep their sanity. 

3. Right now I think the theme is betrayal. I see this in the book when Ron feels betrayed that his best friend didn't tell him that he was going to try to enter his name into the Goblet of Fire. Also I see it because Harry thought that Cedric Diggory and he were friends but Harry feels that Cedric has become less of a friend and more of a competitor. 

4. Right now my favorite character is Mad-Eye Moody. I like him because he is like no other teacher. He never follows the rules and he is extremely funny. He yells at students if he thinks what they are doing is not appropriate when in this day and age it is appropriate. He is also extremely weird because he has a weird eye hence the name Mad-Eye. He also walks around with a sort of limp and he needs a cane. 

5. My least favorite character right now is Ron. He is acting extremely rude towards Harry at the moment which is the last thing Harry needs right now. Harry needs to focus all of his attention towards the Tri-Wizard tournament otherwise he will be caught off guard and might die. Ron has slowly been drifting away from Harry as a friend and I don't like it. 

6.  I predict that Harry will have an extremely intense second task and that Harry will say something to Ron to help him realize that he is acting foolish at the moment.
