The overall mood is darker - the book opens with another murder - and Goblet of Fire is about 300 pages longer than Book 3, so if kids younger than 10 are begging to keep rolling with the series, consider reading it aloud to them first to see how they fare. Know right off the bat that a Hogwarts student dies in this one, and he's heavily mourned by fellow students and young readers alike. Rowling's Harry Potter series about an orphan boy at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Parents need to know that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth book in J.K. Lots of negative language around the size of Dudley and his father (Dudley is described as "the size and weight of a young killer whale") and of Malfoy's Slytherin friends Crabbe and Goyle.
Women have prominent roles at Hogwarts: Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout are both heads of houses, Madame Maxime is head of Beauxbatons Academy. Ron's insecurity over being from a poorer family comes up a lot.
Some diverse family structures: Harry lives with his aunt and uncle Neville, with his grandmother. Characters face lots of discrimination in the wizarding world, especially for not being "pure-blood," or, in Hagrid's case, for being part giant. Referee for Quidditch World Cup is Egyptian, and wizarding schools from Bulgaria and France come together for the Triwizard Tournament all have strong accents. Angelina Johnson is Black, the Patil twins are Harry and Ron's dates for the Yule Ball, Cho Chang is Harry's crush. Lee Jordan is described as having dreadlocks.
