It’s still a first person narrative told from Harrys point of view, but you can easily feel Rowlings urge to bust that seam. Secondly Rowling has matured a bit and upped the complexity a bit, both Ron and Hermione gets to develop their personalities, making them move a bit out of Harrys shadow. Firstly “Goblet of Fire” has a more generous line spacing and a bit larger font then the earlier books, which explains about 15-20% of the size increase. Has Rowling been overtaken with 'word bloat' as it happens to so many authors when they have had a few successes? Not really - not the malignant kind anyway.
This is scary stuff! Rowling is wandering of the path that worked so well in the first three volumes. Instead we get a bit with you-know-who and his struggle to… regain himself.
The first thing that you notice when you start reading it, is that it doesn't start of like the other books, with Harry living with the Dursleys. The first thing that you notice when you pick up this, the fourth volume in the Potter saga, is that it's more than twice as thick as any of the previous Potter books.
