Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling comes in number two on their list of Top 100 New Classic Books, with the magazine noting :The first three Harry Potter novels were pure kid stuff, and then, unexpectedly, Rowling went epic and dark—killing children, resurrecting evil, and sending Harry to war.”

that’s awesome! And GOF is my favorite book of the series as well (with DH a very close second). What a shame I’m not a subscriber anymore. Guess I’ll have to buy this one on the news stand.

They also have listed under 25 death scenes Cedric’s death in Goblet of Fire. Just thought I would point it out :)
YAY!!!!!

Uh…....it’s cool and all, but WHY use the evil long-haired Harry from the 4th movie (which was a disgrace to the series except for Voldy and Harry being topless YUMMY) That Harry’s hair was TOO LONG!

Yes, kanedax! Excellent idea. Someone please write this. Something along the lines of: “And a besotted Ginny Weasley transfigured herself into a divalicious R&B singer, and the monster in Harry’s chest growled…”

Gorgeous, handsome Dan! Love that he is not just on the cover, but at the very forefront! DeathlyH, since when is Harry EVER “evil” ? (except for the evilh/hr clincher but that’s not really Harry…)

I just realized that’s Will Smith in the very back! Burn! He’s like the top selling movie actor and they stuck him in the back. Depp too is, back there. Whoa! I guess it’s because HP has made such waves in both literature and movies? a lthough i don’t think it made the best movies list or anything. ( of course, i think putting Dan’s pretty face on the cover helps lol) Love it , love it.

@ Radcakesfan: I love Dan too, (i’m “Dan’s Girlfriend” on your site) but I hate that hairdo. The HAIRDO is evil. Not Harry.
