Review of 'Churchill' on 'Goodreads'

Lots to love about this book, I especially liked that it was not quite in chronological order of events, it allowed it to have a better rhythm.

This is not a rose tinted glasses view either, it does speak to shortcomings and beliefs that are considered controversial or plain wrong in modern times.

However the accomplishments are so vast it’s hard to believe someone could be so relentless.

哈利波特-鳳凰會的密令 by  (Harry Potter (Traditional Chinese) (4), Choice #47)

【預言家日報獨家報導】 魔法界的盛事、歐洲三大魔法學校的友誼賽──『三巫鬥法大賽』,一度因死亡人數太多而停辦多年,終於將在今年重新登場!

『三巫鬥法大賽』將由最公正無私的『火盃』為各個學校選出一名鬥士,代表學校參加比賽。競賽的方法是讓這三名鬥士去執行三項特殊的魔法任務,冠軍將可為自己的學校爭光之外,並能獨得一千金加隆的獎金……

才一開學,霍格華茲魔法學校的師生們就為了即將舉行的三巫鬥法大賽而興奮不已,但是當火盃選出哈利波特成為第四位鬥士時,卻引起全校的不諒解。憑什麼才14歲的哈利波特跨越17歲的年齡限制,而將名字投入火盃中呢?

百口莫辯的哈利波特,只好承受所有人的猜疑,努力去挑戰鬥法大賽的三項艱鉅任務。但是,佛地魔的僕人早已盯上了哈利波特,暗中虎視眈眈的準備獵取仇人之血……

這場三巫鬥法大賽背後究竟隱藏了什麼駭人聽聞的詭計?哈利波特又是否能順利通過火盃的考驗呢?
