Summary

So, this book is crazy. Harry Potter enters its baroque period as we head to the Quidditch World Cup. We are worried about poor Mr. Roberts, not super impressed with Ludo Bagman, rooting for Ireland but loving sexy, brooding, duck-footed Krum, peeved about the Veelas, and just here for all the shenanigans.
