　　“哈利·波特”系列图书自1997年在英国问世以来，迄今在全世界已发行三亿多册，2000年引进中国后，前六册发行量达800万册。因此无论在世界还是在中国，“哈利·波特”都创造了出版史上的奇迹。 “哈利·波特”是一套既有畅销效应也有常销价值的儿童小说，从内容到艺术手法都具备了世界优秀儿童文学的潜质。其故事惊险离奇、神幻莫测；情节跌宕起伏、悬念丛生，从头至尾充满幽默。作者巧妙地将世界文学名著中所具有的美学品格集于一身，达到了想象丰富，情节紧凑，推理严密，人物刻画深刻的艺术效果。同时它也是一套引导孩子们勇敢向上，见义勇为，善良待人的婿作品。难能可贵的是，“哈利·波特”不仅深受孩子们的追捧，同时又为成人所喜爱。

内容简介
Harry Potter is midway through his training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup. He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. But unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal - even by wizarding standards. And in his case, different can be deadly.

精彩书摘
The Little Hagletons all agreed that the old house was "creepy."   
Half a century  ago, something strange and horrible had happened there, something that the older  inhabitants of the village still liked to discuss when topics for gossip were scarce.  
The story had been picked over so many times, and had been embroidered in so many places,that nobody was quite sure what the truth was anymore.      
Every version of the tale,however,started in the same place: Fifty years before, at daybreak on a fine summer's morning when the Riddle House had still been well kept and impressive, a maid had  entered the drawing room to find all three Riddles dead.
The maid had run screaming down the hill into the village and roused as many  people as she could.
"Lying there with their eyes wide open! Cold as ice! Still in their dinner things!"
The police were summoned, and the whole of Little Hangleton had seethed with  shocked curiosity and ill-disguised excitement.Nobody wasted their breath pretending to  feel very sad about the Riddles, for they had been most unpopular.Elderly Mr. and Mrs.  Riddle had been rich, snobbish, and rude, and their grown-up son, Tom, had been, if  anything, worse. All the villagers cared about was the identity of their murderer -- for  plainly, three apparently healthy people did not all drop dead of natural causes on the same night.
The Hanged Man, the village pub, did a roaring trade that night; the whole village  seemed to have turned out to discuss the murders.They were rewarded for leaving their firesides when the Riddles' cook arrived dramatically in their midst and announced to the  suddenly silent pub that a man called Frank Bryce had just been arrested.
"Frank!" cried several people. "Never!"
Frank Bryce was the Riddles' gardener.He lived alone in a run-down cottage on the grounds of the Riddle House.Frank had come back from the war with a very stiff leg  and a great dislike of crowds and loud noises, and had been working for the Riddles ever  since.
There was a rush to buy the cook drinks and hear more details.
"Always thought he was odd," she told the eagerly listening villagers, after her  fourth sherry.  "Unfriendly, like.  I'm sure if I've offered him a cuppa once, I've offered it a hundred times.Never wanted to mix, he didn't."
"Ah, now," said a woman at the bar, "he had a hard war, Frank. He likes the quiet life. That's no reason to --"
"Who else had a key to the back door, then?" barked the cook.
   
"There's been a  spare key hanging in the gardener's cottage far back as I can remember!   
   
Nobody forced  the door last night!  No broken windows!   
All Frank had to do was creep up to the big  house while we was all sleeping..."
The villagers exchanged dark looks.
"I always thought that he had a nasty look about him, right enough," grunted a  man at the bar.
"War turned him funny, if you ask me," said the landlord.
"Told you I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of Frank, didn't I, Dot?" said an  excited woman in the corner.

媒体评论
"What's wonderful about the Harry Potter stories is the believability of the world Harry and company inhabit, imagined by J.K. Rowling and fully realized through Jim Dale's portrayal."
--AudioFile

"I'm relieved to report that Potter 4--Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire--is every bit as good as Potters 1 through 3.... The most remarkable thing about this book is that Rowling's punning, one-eyebrow-cocked sense of humor goes the distance."
--The New York Times Book Review, Stephen King
