Notes on "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" by J. K. Rowling

As I've been re-reading the Harry Potter series aloud to Kevin, I have enjoyed revisiting the story, but this book didn't hold up very well to a re-read.

About Last Night

TT: It's funny, but is it art?

This was a good week on Broadway. David Cromer's production of Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs and the new revival of Finian's Rainbow , both of which I review in this morning's Wall Street Journal , are exceptionally fine and persuasive mountings of deeply flawed shows.
