We soon return to Harry at the Dursleys, but only just in time to catch him before he leaves for the Weasley (Rons family), where he’s going to spend the last we weeks before the return to Hogswarts. It’s still a first person narrative told from Harrys point of view, but you can easily feel Rowlings urge to bust that seam. Secondly Rowling has matured a bit and upped the complexity a bit, both Ron and Hermione gets to develop their personalities, making them move a bit out of Harrys shadow. Firstly “Goblet of Fire” has a more generous line spacing and a bit larger font then the earlier books, which explains about 15-20% of the size increase. Has Rowling been overtaken with 'word bloat' as it happens to so many authors when they have had a few successes? Not really - not the malignant kind anyway. This is scary stuff! Rowling is wandering of the path that worked so well in the first three volumes. Instead we get a bit with you-know-who and his struggle to… regain himself. The first thing that you notice when you start reading it, is that it doesn't start of like the other books, with Harry living with the Dursleys. The first thing that you notice when you pick up this, the fourth volume in the Potter saga, is that it's more than twice as thick as any of the previous Potter books.

Leider ist dieses Exemplar nicht mehr verfügbar. Then, the content: Most of the book rests on building a "definition" of the game. and then to Suits for bringing them back to our times. So, kudos to two of the wisest philosophers ever lived, Socrates and Plato. In this age of monologues, hard convictions, and in which everyone has urgent needs to talk but feels no need to listen -hence no one is really listening- I feel that the Socratic dialogue is a gem to be rediscovered. The dialogue -and the implied way of doing "communicative/collective philosophy"- may be the only tool available that takes ideas to their logical conclusion and fulfillment (always temporary that fulfillment may be). In the absence of people to converse and challenge me, I often find myself in an internal, imagined dialogue: Without answering to potential objections from others -imagined, written on in actual conversation- the mind cannot "stretch" and withdraws to a rigid, defensive state. I find that this is a really great tool for me to test one's own convictions. It is not only great as a method of presentation, I find, but as a method of doing "philosophy" in general, and not only for Socrates and Plato, but even for humble beings like myself. First, I love the Socratic dialogue as a tool for opening and widening ideas.
