Summary: In his fourth year, Harry is unexpectedly chosen as a competitor in the Triwizard Tournament, a magical competition between three wizarding schools. Harry is too young to participate, but his name is mysteriously entered into the Goblet of Fire, which selects the contestants. Throughout the tournament, Harry faces several dangerous challenges, including battling dragons, rescuing friends from an enchanted lake, and navigating a deadly maze. In the final task, Harry and fellow competitor Cedric Diggory are transported to a graveyard where Voldemort is resurrected. Cedric is killed, and Voldemort regains his full strength. Harry barely escapes and returns to Hogwarts with the grim news that Voldemort is back.
