You get plenty of spare time at nights and on weekends to right \Rightarrow I read Goblet of Fire at CTY. If you do not like torture and you like Harry Potter, then it will be torture to see a lot of campers read it while you are not! Mr. Green

I didn't know it was 'official' that a main character would die, but with a war going on the book would be pretty unrealistic if nobody readers cared about died, so it's probably nearly a given.

CTY camp? at where?



Does anyone know who dies in the story?

Loyola Marymount University (or something like that). Los Angeles.

I'll be there too...

Good point. Hmm, I'll make sure to get it before I leave then...

It's easier for you to find me than the other way around, since I have my full name in my username Very Happy

Goblet of Fire at CTY

Yes, I remember that I was also at CTY when Goblet of Fire came out. I recall students going to the Stanford Bookstore to buy the book (even though it was vastly overpriced: $40-50 I believe) or having it shipped to them while at camp. That was the first time I heard about Harry Potter and started to read the books. I look forward to the next one, though at the moment the imminent release of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith has been diverting my attention from the Harry Potter book release.

I remember reading the first Harry Potter at age seven, before anybody had even heard of it. Then there was this huge popularity surge, and it lost its appeal. Oh well...even though the merchandise is really annoying, the books are still among my favorites (though I'd rather read a good John Irving or Philip Roth any day) and I will get the sixth when it comes out.

I remember when i though Harry Potter was stupid, but then in 5th grade (i'm in 8th grade now) i read it because i was bored and i got into it pretty much...
book 5 was sorta of a let down
i hope book 6 will be better

Ron should die a quick but painful death, so he can be gone faster.

boys aren't allowed into the girls chambers, you should know that. no invisibility cloak is going to fool the spell that is protecting them.
