Harry¹ Potter and the Goblet² of Fire

Beset by nightmares, Harry Potter is all too happy to escape his disturbing dreams by attending the Quidditch World Cup. But something sinister³ ignites the skies at the Quidditch campsite--the Dark Mark, the sign of the evil Lord Voldemort. It's conjured⁴ by his followers⁵, the Death Eaters, who haven't dared to appear in public since Voldemort was last seen thirteen years ago--the night he murdered Harry's parents.

Harry longs to get back inside the safe walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft⁶ and Wizardry, where Professor Dumbledore can protect him. But Dumbledore announces that Hogwarts will host the Triwizard Tournament, one of the most exciting and dangerous of the wizarding community's magical competitions. One champion will be selected from each of the three most prestigious⁷ wizarding schools to compete in a series of life-threatening tasks in pursuit of winning the coveted⁸ Triwizard Cup.

Ministry⁹ of Magic official Barty Crouch¹⁰ and Professor Dumbledore preside over a candlelit ceremony as the enchanted¹¹ Goblet of Fire selects one student from each school to compete. Amidst a hail of sparks and flames, the cup names Durmstrang's Institute's Quidditch superstar Victor Krum, followed by Beauxbatons' Academy exquisite¹² Fleur Delacour and finally, Hogwarts' popular all-around golden boy Cedric Diggory. But then, inexplicably¹³, the Goblet spits out one final name: Harry Potter.

Suspecting that whoever entered Harry's name wants to put him in grave danger, Dumbledore asks Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody¹⁴, the eccentric new Defense¹⁵ Against the Dark Arts professor, to keep his magical eye trained on the teenage wizard. Events take an ominous¹⁶ turn when someone is murdered on Hogwarts grounds. As they edge closer to the Triwizard Cup, Harry soon finds himself hurtling toward an encounter with true evil.
