Sólo los alumnos mayores de diecisiete años pueden participar en esta competición, pero, aun así, Harry sueña con ganarla. En Halloween, cuando el cáliz de fuego elige a los campeones, Harry se lleva una sorpresa al ver que su nombre es uno de los escogidos por el cáliz mágico.

Although she writes under the pen name J.K. Rowling, pronounced like rolling, her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply Joanne Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose K as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. She calls herself Jo and has said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowling. In a 2012 interview, Rowling noted that she no longer cared that people pronounced her name incorrectly.
Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (née Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. They married on 14 March 1965. Her mother's maternal grandfather, Dugald Campbell, was born in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Her mother's paternal grandfather, Louis Volant, was awarded the Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War.
Rowling's sister Dianne was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old. The family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne when Rowling was four. She attended St Michael's Primary School, a school founded by abolitionist William Wilberforce and education reformer Hannah More. Her headmaster at St Michael's, Alfred Dunn, has been suggested as the inspiration for the Harry Potter headmaster Albus Dumbledore.
As a child, Rowling often wrote fantasy stories, which she would usually then read to her sister. She recalls that: "I can still remember me telling her a story in which she fell down a rabbit hole and was fed strawberries by the rabbit family inside it. Certainly the first story I ever wrote down (when I was five or six) was about a rabbit called Rabbit. He got the measles and was visited by his friends, including a giant bee called Miss Bee." At the age of nine, Rowling moved to Church Cottage in the Gloucestershire village of Tutshill, close to Chepstow, Wales. When she was a young teenager, her great aunt, who Rowling said "taught classics and approved of a thirst for knowledge, even of a questionable kind," gave her a very old copy of Jessica Mitford's autobiography, Hons and Rebels. Mitford became Rowling's heroine, and Rowling subsequently read all of her books.
Rowling has said of her teenage years, in an interview with The New Yorker, "I wasn’t particularly happy. I think it’s a dreadful time of life." She had a difficult homelife; her mother was ill and she had a difficult relationship with her father (she is no longer on speaking terms with him). She attended secondary school at Wyedean School and College, where her mother had worked as a technician in the science department. Rowling said of her adolescence, "Hermione [a bookish, know-it-all Harry Potter character] is loosely based on me. She's a caricature of me when I was eleven, which I'm not particularly proud of." Steve Eddy, who taught Rowling English when she first arrived, remembers her as "not exceptional" but "one of a group of girls who were bright, and quite good at English." Sean Harris, her best friend in the Upper Sixth owned a turquoise Ford Anglia, which she says inspired the one in her books.

Me ha gustado mucho, es el libro que, de momento, difiere más de la película.
Explica las cosas con muchos más detalles y cuenta mejor como se produce el retorno de Voldemort.
Con este libro también se demuestra lo bien conectado que está Animales Fantásticos con Harry Potter.
Le doy 3 estrellas porque, aunque sea una historia más detallada y no se centre únicamente en el Torneo, le tengo especial cariño a esta película en concreto, que no se asemeja tanto al libro.

Me costó MUCHO leer el inicio del libro, me pareció un poco denso, pero una vez adentrado en la historia me sigue pareciendo el mejor tomo (y la mejor película) del universo de Harry Potter. Acá es donde realmente empieza a discernir la historia contada en las películas de la que se relata en los libros, ya que al dejar TANTOS capítulos por fuera, tienen que cambiar como ocurren prácticamente todos los hechos en las películas; sentí que estaba descubriendo una historia nueva.

La historia del niño mago es encantadora y aunque pueda sonar redundante, llena de magia. El cáliz de fuego es un volumen considerablemente amplio a comparación de sus predecesores, enriquece bastante la historia y amplia aún más el universo mágico y todos sus detalles.

Es mi película favorita y hasta ahora puedo decir que es mi libro favorito, no puedo creer todo lo que nos perdimos en la película, que joya de libro en verdad, llore mucho con unas escenas y fui feliz, pero también hubo tristeza. Háganse un favor y léan los libros de Harry Potter.

bueno ahora si empieza lo triste, es un muy buen libro y hay un montón de info nueva que no te dan en las pelis, la verdad q aguanta full, es larguito pero es bueno, desafortunadamente de ahora en adelante todo es depresión y tristeza, pero si, muy bueno
Review of advance copy received from Editor
Baja un poco el nivel narrativo comparado al anterior pero sigue siendo brutal la historia

No está mal, aunque tiene mucho relleno. Como si durante unas 300 páginas no sucediera nada. Creo que de haber estado más pequeño a la hora de leerlo me habría gustado más.

He de admitir que a veces se siente como si la historia no avanzara y te repite muchas veces las mismas interrogantes que claramente se resolverán al final del libro, pero a pesar de todo eso, este libro es (hablando subjetivamente) mi película favorita y que comencé a leer el libro unas 5 veces y por más que avanzaba nunca lo terminaba. Este año puedo decir que ya concluí con esta parte de la saga y confieso que los últimos 7 capitulos desde la última prueba son mis favoritos. A pesar de todo sigue siendo mi historia favorita, incluso sabiendo que se ha ido el gran Ceddric.
