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

Consistent narration and pacing. Great voice variety. He even got some of the tones exactly as I had imagined them (Voldemort is an example)

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
We trust the school system to prepare our kids for the future. We get excited when they get good grades, or disappointed if they don’t. But we rarely stop to question whether school is teaching our children the right things in the right way.

Great cause, clear narrative, well researched
Reviewed: 06-04-24
All of the book is a neat, consistent narrative. The author's voice is crisp too, which helps with the audio.
I would have liked some more examples. In order to avoid being prescriptive, the author went too abstract in many places. Some more real examples would make the book stronger.

Standard self help, well narrated, good for beginners
Reviewed: 03-04-24
Brendan has lot of passion and energy on this topic and it clearly reflects in the book. He offers a good 5 point style strategy and has anecdotes and reasoning behind it.
If you’ve been reading for a while, not a lot of new content to offer, but perhaps a fresh perspective. This book could’ve been more effecting had it been much shorter.

A fitting end.
Reviewed: 10-09-20
Any shortcomings of this book are completely washed away by the immense sense of closure it brings. It's a book that stands well on its own in this epic series.
It has great shining moments and small warm and fuzzy moments. Then there are the deaths. The battles.
It's unputdownable. But not a mere page turner, you'll want to read every page.
Finally, a big thank you to Michael Kramer and Kate Reading. It's not a stretch to call this the best audiobook performance ever.

I've read the books multiple times. And yet Michael Kramer and Kate Reading had me hooked in.
- Crisp accents
- Smooth pacing
- "story come alive" narration.
I'm so looking forward to the rest of three books in the series.
