Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

I'm about 1/2 way done with this very long book, but who's complaining? Not me, this book is amazing. It is my favorite book so far, and it has a lot of suspense in it. I find this book very intriguing, the things that J.K. Rowling comes up with is amazing. I would never beable to up with this kind of stuff.

I think that one of J.K. Rowling's strengths is her ability to create imagery when conflict arises in the text. Since some things that happen in Harry Potter could never really happen in real life I though it would be hard to picture what is really happening, but since J.K. Rowling is such an amazing author I can picture exactly what is happening even at times when their is a complicated conflict(tongue twister) happening. "And then she reared, spreading her great, black, leathery wings at last, as wide as those of a small airplane-and Harry dived. Before the dragon knew what he had done, or where he had disapperared to, he was speeding toward the ground as fast as he could go, toward the eggs now unprotected by her clawed frount legs-he had taken his hands off his Firebolt-he had seized the golden egg-"(Rowling 356). When Harry is trying to get around a dragon, yes a dragon, it would be very eay to picture any number of things that could count as a dragon. Then you read this and you can picture exactly what the wings and front legs would look like, giving a perfect example of imagery during a conflict. It is also easy to picture what the dragon's reaction would look like. I picyure it as kind of confused and looking around for Harry as he dived for the golden egg. I think it is awesome how great detail J/K. Rolwing goes into even when it would be easy to let the reader picture the kind of dragon they want.

This is the dragon scene from the movie. I find it different than that of the book. In the book Harry taunts the dragon to fly, but in the movie the dragon goes after him right away. Also, in the book Harry knows that he is going to summon his firebolt when he gets into the dragon ring, but in the movie he doesn't realize when he is going to do until Hermione yells at him. There are other differences too, but those are the main ones. Even thought the book and movie are different I think that they both are fantastic.

Have you read the book and seen the movie? What differences did you notice?
