Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Fifty years before the present day, the Riddle family was killed at supper and their groundsman, Frank Bryce, was suspected of the crime.

Frank Bryce, now an elderly man, wakes in the night to see a light in the window of the abandoned Riddle House.

He investigates and overhears Voldemort and Wormtail plotting to kill a boy named Harry Potter.

Voldemort takes note of him and kills him on the spot.

Harry Potter wakes up in the night with a throbbing pain in the scar Voldemort gave him.

He worries that Voldemort is nearby, and he writes to Sirius Black, his godfather, mentioning the pain in his scar.

The next morning Harry's Uncle Vernon receives a letter from the Weasleys asking Harry to join them at the Quidditch World Cup, and Vernon grudgingly agrees to let Harry go.

The Weasleys arrive in the Dursleys' boarded-up fireplace to pick up Harry.

Together they are carried to the World Cup campground.

Upon arrival, the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione head off to pitch their tent.

Soon, Ludo Bagman arrives, jubilant at the festivities, and makes a wager with the twins on the outcome of the Cup.

Soon afterward, Mr. Crouch arrives, throwing Percy into a great reverent fuss.

Before they leave, they allude to a mysterious event that will happen at Hogarts.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione buy souvenirs and troop to the Top Box, where they meet Winky, a house-elf who is saving a seat for her master.

The game begins, after a show from the respective mascots.

In the end, Ireland wins, but Viktor Krum, the Bulgarian Seeker, catches the Snitch.

In late October, the delegates from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang arrive at Hogwarts.

Ron is thrilled to see that Viktor Krum, a famous Quidditch player, has come with Durmstrang.

On halloween night, the Goblet of Fire spits out the names of the champions who will compete in the Triwizard Tournament; along with Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum, Harry Potter is selected.

Mass chaos ensues, since Harry is too young. But because the Goblet's decision is final, it is generally decided that Harry is obligated to compete.

Gryffindor House is triumphant, but Ron is sullen and envious, and he doesn't speak to Harry for quite some time.

School resumes, and Harry is frustrated that few people believe he didn't place his own name in the Goblet of Fire.

The first task approaches, and Harry is fretful; during the weighing of the wands, a reporter named Rita Skeeter accosts Harry and interviews him for what she says is a story about the tournament, but instead publishes a sappy, exaggerated article about Harry's tragic past.

A few nights before the task, Hagrid invites Harry for a late night walk, which ultimately turns into a glimpse of the first task: dragons.

Harry hurries home, and in the Gryffindor common room fireplace, Sirius's head appears, warning Harry that Karkaroff, the head of Durmstrang, was a Death Eater and possibly still is dangerous, and that Moody was the Ministry's best dark wizard catcher ever, and is probably at Hogwarts for a reason.

The next day, Harry warns Cedric about the first task; Moody overhears, commends Harry's decency, and hints that Harry should use his broomstick to get past the dragon.

Harry and Hermione spend hours practicing summoning charms, and the day of the first task, Harry summons his broomstick and flies past the dragon, capturing the golden egg and receiving high marks.

Everyone in Gryffindor is ecstatic, and Ron and Harry are reunited.

Soon afterward, Hermione drags Harry and Ron down to the kitchens, where they encounter Dobby, who is thrilled at his freedom, and Winky, Mr. Crouch's ex- house-elf, who is miserable at hers.

In class, Professor McGonagall announces that the Yule Ball is approaching and that the champions must find partners; this is an unexpected and difficult task.

Harry gathers his courage to ask Cho, but finds out that she is already going with Cedric.

Hermione has a date, but won't say who it is; and she is annoyed when Ron asks her as his last-resort date.

Finally, Harry and Ron

Hermione insults Rita Skeeter for writing articles that slander the school.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione go to Hagrid and convince him to return to school.

Hagrid is grateful for their loyalty and begs Harry to win the Tournament.

That night, Harry takes the egg into the bathtub.

The egg sings that Harry will have an hour to reclaim something valuable that has been taken into the lake.

On his way back to his dorm from the bathroom, Harry, wearing his Invisibility cloak, checks his Marauder's Map and spies Mr. Crouch in Snape's office.

Moody also appears, shoos away the other men and returns Harry's egg to him.

Moody asks to borrow the Marauder's Map, which shows every part of Hogwarts grounds and castle, and where every person is within it.
