Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was made long on purpose. According J.K. Rowling, She had wrote herself into corner when she wanted Harry to bring He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named back to live, which meant that Harry needed to do something to get to where he was. J.K. wrote half the book before having to basically go back to the beginning an rewrite parts of the story to get out of the plot hole. She missed the deadline by two months and added close to half of the book in that time.
