This is my favorite book of the series. It is a pivotal moment in the series, where Voldemort ceases to be a frightening thing of the past and is now a frightening thing of the future. This is also the first book where a person actively is killed in the plot, which happens with increasing frequency through the next 3 books.
I am so mad about all the things that the movie left out. For example, the whole character of Ludo Bagman. He is one of the 100 most mentioned characters in Harry Potter (trust me, I took a quiz on it), and he isn't mentioned once. In addition, Dobby the house elf makes an appearance, and Hermione starts a coalition to get better wages for house elves, and there's another one named Winky, and they find out where the kitchen is... all gone. I would have loved to have seen that. There are also plenty of one-liners that the characters have that would have been pretty funny in the movie.
But anyway, the action in the book is enough to keep me interested through 700+ pages. It is the first time I really started to dislike Ron because he was jealous of Harry being selected as a Triwizard Tournament champion (like Harry wanted to be in it). He is such a baby about these things sometimes.
