Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Can't believe it's been all these years!  :o

That one is next on my list -I've been working my way through the series.
For a Child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace

The House of Arden, by Edith Nesbit.  ;D My absolute favorite of her books, closely followed by Harding's Luck and The Wonderful Garden.

Indeed. And the book was filled with Jesuitical nonsense.

God bless you! I couldn't read that. I hope you borrowed it from the library.  :)
In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

Is the movie version similar to the book? Does it follow the plot closely?

Eh...  The same basic plot, but not major details and the conclusion.

Christina, The Name of the Rose is worth a read, but can be hard to get through if you're not committed.  Good luck.
