Good vs. Evil
I recently read a review of the book in the current issue of The New Yorker Magazine. The reviewer really liked the book, and perhaps to justify this response, came up with all kinds of philosophical issues raised by the Goblet of Fire. For instance, the question of why Dumbledore allowed bad things to happen at Hogwarts was likened to the question of why God allows evil in the world. You're all Harry Potter fans, but is this going too far? Or is the reviewer right?
Sounds like the reviewer was just bending over backwards to justify his/her review and was too afraid to say that they just enjoyed it. Afterall it was in the New Yorker. Not everything has to have some deep hidden philosophical meaning behind it.

I think you have to have a good and evil in a book like this type, I mean, if there was no Dark Art,I mean, it's like, boring, kinda like about life on Boy Meets World.
