Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

This is definitely my favorite Harry Potter book so far, although I really think I would like it best if the fun wizard-y things remained and all the dark, creepy wizard stuff was taken out. Basically, I would have enjoyed a book about wizard camping and the Triwizard Tournament tasks, without any of the return of the dark lord. The creativity and world-building continue to be incredible. And that includes all of the dark parts, which are so well-written and why I could definitely do without them. I will say that the reveal of who Voldemort's servant at Hogwarts was legitimately surprised me–I had spent a lot of the book sifting through the clues.
