Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts is about to start and he is enjoying the
summer vacation with his friends. They get the tickets to The Quidditch
World Cup Final but after the match is over, people dressed like Lord
Voldemort's 'Death Eaters' set a fire to all the visitors' tents, coupled
with the appearance of Voldemort's symbol, the 'Dark Mark' in the sky,
which causes a frenzy across the magical community. That same year,
Hogwarts is hosting 'The Triwizard Tournament', a magical tournament
between three well-known schools of magic : Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and
Durmstrang. The contestants have to be above the age of 17, and are chosen
by a magical object called Goblet of Fire. On the night of selection,
however, the Goblet spews out four names instead of the usual three, with
Harry unwittingly being selected as the Fourth Champion. Since the magic
cannot be reversed, Harry is forced to go with it and brave three
exceedingly difficult tasks.
Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts for his fourth year, where the Trizwizard
tournament is becoming ready to begin. Students must be over 17 to enter,
with the winner receiving eternal glory. Harry can't enter it this
year...or can he. When his name is read out from the Goblet of Fire,
everyone assumes that Harry Potter has cheated. Harry insists that he never
placed his name in there, with someone else behind it. But Who? Harry must
now survive through dragons, sea creatures and a terrifying maze, all
before coming face-to-face with a particular dark wizard.
Harry's fourth summer and the following year at Hogwarts are marked by the
Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament, in which student
representatives from three different wizarding schools compete in a series
of increasingly challenging contests. However, Voldemort's Death Eaters are
gaining strength and even creating the Dark Mark giving evidence that the
Dark Lord is ready to rise again. In the unsuspecting lives of the young
wizard and witches at Hogwarts the competitors are selected by the goblet
of fire, which this year makes a very surprising announcement: Hogwarts
will have two representatives in the tournament, including Harry Potter!
Will Harry be able to rise to the challenge for the Tri Wizard Tournament
while keeping up with school or will the challenges along with Voldemort's
rebirth be too much for the young hero?
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire takes us deeper into the characters'
minds and the darkness of the Wizarding World. At the Quidditch World Cup,
Voldemort's followers gather and wreak havoc. Then, at Hogwarts, a
legendary event takes place. The Triwizard Tournament! The Goblet of Fire
judges who gets in and who doesn't. On the fateful night, three champions
are selected. But then the Goblet spits out one other. Harry's. These two
major events point to the return of Lord Voldemort. Dumbledore and the
other teachers sense it, but it is inevitable. And Harry is no longer safe
at Hogwarts. This fourth installment is the most dramatic, and also the
scariest. Let me just say that all does not necessarily end well...
