Harry, Hermione dan Keluarga Weasley pergi untuk menonton final Piala Dunia Quidditch ketika malamnya terjadi kekacauan di perkemahan. Para Pelahap Maut yang mengenakan topeng muncul dan membakari tenda-tenda. Harry yang terpisah dari teman-temannya dan sempat pingsan, sempat melihat sesosok bayangan menggumamkan sesuatu dan mengirimkan Tanda Kegelapan ke angkasa, tapi ketika Ron dan Hermione tiba, orang tersebut telah pergi. Mereka nyaris dituduh sebagai orang yang melepaskan Tanda Kegelapan tersebut.
Ketika kembali ke Hogwarts, mereka dikejutkan dengan berita bahwa Hogwarts menjadi tuan rumah untuk penyelenggaraan Turnamen Triwizard, sebuah turnamen yang diadakan untuk mempererat persaudaraaan antar Sekolah Sihir. Dua sekolah lain yang mengikuti turnamen ini adalah Akademi Sihir Beauxbatons pimpinan Madame Maxime dan Institut Durmstrang yang dipimpin oleh Igor karkaroff. Setiap sekolah akan diwakili oleh satu juara sekolah, yang akan dipilih setelah memasukkan nama mereka ke dalam Piala Api.
Piala Api telah memuntahkan 3 nama untuk 3 sekolah, yaitu Fleur Delacour dari Beauxbatons, Viktor Krum dari Durmstrang, dan Cedric Diggory dari Hogwarts ketika semua orang mengira seleksi telah berakhir. Namun ternyata Piala Api kembali memuntahkan satu nama, Harry Potter. Semua orang mengira Harry (yang masih di bawah umur untuk mengikuti turnamen tersebut) berhasil mengelabuhi Piala Tersebut ketika Mad-Eye Moody, guru Pertahanan Terhadap Ilmu Hitam Hogwarts tahun ini, menepiskan anggapan mereka, dan mengatakan bahwa dibutuhkan sihir yang sangat kuat untuk merekayasa Piala Api. Meski kedua sekolah lain mengajukan protes, akhirnya Harry ditetapkan sebagai salah satu juara.
Berbagai tanggapan diperoleh Harry dari orang-orang terdekatnya. Ron, sahabatnya selama ini, agak cemburu dengan tampilnya Harry sebagai juara, dan mereka sempat tidak berbicara satu sama lain. Hermione percaya bahwa bukan Harry yang memasukkan namanya ke dalam Piala Api. Sirius yang masih dalam pelarian memperingatkan Harry untuk berhati-hati karena peserta turnamen sangat rentan terhadap kecelakaan. Di tugas pertama, keempat juara diperintahkan untuk mengambil telur emas dari seekor naga, di mana di dalam telur tersebut berisi petunjuk untuk tugas kedua. Harry (dan ketiga juara lain-meskipun tidak diperlihatkan dalam film) berhasil mengambil telur emas tersebut dan lolos dari serangan naga.
Di hari Natal, diadakan Pesta Dansa, dimana para juara diwajibkan memiliki pasangan karena mereka akan melakukan dansa pembukaan. Harry yang mengincar seeker Ravenclaw yang cantik, Cho Chang, ternyata kalah cepat dari Cedric Diggory. Akhirnya Harry ke pesta tersebut berpasangan dengan Parvati Patil, Ron dengan Padma Patil, dan Hermione (yang mengejutkan semua orang) berpasangan dengan Victor Krum, seeker nasional Bulgaria, sang juara Durmstrang.
Tugas kedua adalah menyelamatkan sandera di bawah laut. Sandera Harry adalah Ron, sandera Krum adalah Hermione, sandera Cedric adalah Cho Chang, dan sandera Fleur adalah adiknya, Gabrielle. Fleur tidak bisa menyelamatkan adiknya akibat serangan Grindylow. Harry yang mengira tugas ini betul-betul serius memaksakan dirinya membebaskan Ron dan Gabrielle sekaligus, sehingga ia dipermaklumkan menjadi juara kedua karena 'akhlak yang baik'.
Setelah tugas kedua, Harry menemukan mayat Barty Crouch, wakil dari Kementrian Sihir untuk Turnamen Triwizard, dan bergegas mendatangi kantor Dumbledore untuk melaporkannya. Sesampainya di sana, Harry diminta untuk menunggu di kantor Dumbledore, dan saat itulah Harry masuk ke dalam Pensieve, membawa Harry ke dalam ingatan Dumbledore bertahun-tahun yang lalu, ketika Kementrian mengadili putra Barty Crouch dengan tuduhan sebagai Pelahap Maut.
Tugas ketiga adalah sebuah labirin, yang telah diberi berbagai rintangan. Piala Api terletak di tengah labirin tersebut. Siapa yang terlebih dahulu menemukan Piala tersebut, dialah yang tampil sebagai juara Turnamen Triwizard. Cedric dan Harry masuk terlebih dahulu, diikuti Krum, dan terakhir Fleur. Dalam tugas ini, ternyata Krum telah berada di bawah Kutukan Imperius, dan ia menyerang siapa saja yang ditemuinya. Ia menyerang Fleur. Cedric dan Harry juga diserangnya, dan ketika mereka tengah menghindari kejaran Krum, mereka telah melihat jalan menuju Piala Api. Cedric terhambat karena belitan tanaman. Sejenak Harry ragu, tapi ia kembali ke Cedric dan membantunya melepaskan diri. Mereka pun sepakat untuk menjadi juara bersama. Ketika mereka menyentuh Piala Api tersebut bersamaan, Harry sadar bahwa Piala tersebut adalah portkey. Sebelum sadar dimana mereka berada, Cedric dibunuh oleh Peter Pettigrew. Ia juga memantrai sebuah patung untuk menawan Harry. Mulailah ritual pembangkitan Voldermort. Dengan kengerian luar biasa Harry menyaksikan Voldermort hidup kembali dan segera bereunifikasi dengan para Pelahap Mautnya yang segera ber-Apparate satu persatu di sisinya. Harry menyaksikan satu persatu mereka membuka topengnya, dan melihat bahwa Lucius Malfoy ada di antara mereka. Voldermort bermaksud membunuh Harry dengan cara duel. Namun ketika tongkat mereka bertemu, terjadilah efek yang sangat langka, yang disebut sebagai Priori Incantatem. Tongkat Voldermort mengeluarkan bayangan orang-orang yang pernah dibunuhnya, termasuk orang tua Harry. Ayah dan Ibu Harry menyuruhnya untuk kembali ke Piala agar dapat kembali ke sekolah. Maka Harry, sambil menyeret tubuh Cedric, kembali menyentuh Piala yang membawanya kembali ke Hogwarts.
Para penonton yang mengira mereka telah mendapatkan Piala bersorak kegirangan, sebelum kemudian berganti dengan jeritan histeris ketika sadar bahwa Cedric Diggory telah menjadi mayat. Harry yang tengah kalut dibawa oleh Moody kembali ke kastil. Dan beberapa saat kemudian terkuaklah rahasia, bahwa ternyata selama ini dia adalah Barty Crouch Jr, yang ditugasi untuk membawa Harry di malam Voldermort bangkit kembali.

Trivia
- Film Harry Potter pertama yang diberi rating PG-13 oleh MPAA, karena adegan kekerasan dan menakutkan saat Voldermort bangkit kembali, dan kekerasan dalam tugas Triwizard. Oleh BBFC diberi rating 12A dengan alasan banyaknya laba-laba, Fleur yang ditarik oleh tanaman di Tugas Ketiga, dan Ron mengucapkan “piss off” dan Harry mengucapkan “Damn”.
- Mad-Eye Moody palsu dan Barty Crouch Jr. selalu menjilat bibirnya. Ini adalah petunjuk bahwa mereka adalah orang yang sama. Dalam satu adegan, ketika Moody palsu menjilat bibirnya, Barty Crouch Sr. sadar bahwa ia adalah anaknya. Inilah alasan mengapa ia dibunuh.
- Personil Radiohead, Jonny Greenwood dan Phil Selway, bersama pentolan Pulp, Jarvis Cocker, pemain bas Steve Mackey dan Jason Buckle dari All Seeing I dan Steve Claydon dari Add N to (X) tampil dalam film sebagai member dari band The Weird Sisters.
- Beberapa rumor sebelum film ini beredar, menyebutkan bahwa Rowan Atkinson dan John Malkovich dipertimbangkan untuk peran Voldermort. Tapi terbukti bahwa kabar ini tidak benar.
- Sebuah foto yang dirilis oleh Warner Bros, menampilkan Harry berdiri di depan nisan Riddle yang menunjukkan nama ayah Voldermort adalah Tom Marvolo Riddle, dimana itu adalah nama asli dari Voldermort, dan di samping itu tahun lahir dan kematiannya tidak akurat. Menurut buku Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Marvolo Gaunt adalah nama kakek Voldermort dari pihak ibu, jadi tidak mungkin ayah Voldermort memiliki ‘Marvolo’ sebagai nama tengahnya. Dan lagi, Voldermort lahir pada tahun 1926, sehingga 1915, yang tertera sebagai tahun kelahiran ayah Voldermort, sangat tidak mungkin. Kemudian foto ini direkayasa secara digital sehingga saat ini sudah tidak terdapat kesalahan tersebut.
- Laba-laba yang digunakan Moody untuk mendemonstrasikan Kutukan-Tak-Termaafkan adalah jenis Tailles Whip Scorpion.
- Lagu yang dinyanyikan Hermione dan Hagrid ketika Harry menemukan tubuh Crouch adalah himne Hogwarts.
- Nama-nama yang tertera pada nisan di kuburan adalah nama kru film ini, supaya tidak mendapat masalah hak cipta dengan orang lain.
- Poster awal yang dirilis kurang tanda koma. Di situ tertulis Difficult times lie ahead Harry. Baru setelah beberapa bulan, poster yang beru dirilis dengan tulisan Difficult times lie ahead, Harry.
- Sebelum ditawari film ini, Mike Newell sudah diplot untuk menyutradari The Constant Gardener yang juga dibintangi Ralph Fiennes. Tapi akhirnya Newell lebih memilih Harry Potter.
- Mike Newell adalah orang Inggris pertama yang menyutradari film ini.
- Band yang bermain di daerah Maze untuk adegan Tugas Ketiga, diciptakan oleh seorang musikus muda dari Aylesbur Music Center di Inggris. Tetapi akhirnya musiknya di’dubbing’ karena untuk adegan itu mereka menggunakan instrumen ‘sihir’.
- Di bagian akhir credit title terdapat tulisan “Tidak ada naga yang terluka dalam pembuatan film ini.”
- Di lemari milik Snape, bisa dilihat sebuah label dengan tulisan “Half-Blood Prince.
Perbedaan antara buku dengan film
Banyak sekali bagian yang dipotong dari buku, mengingat tebalnya buku aslinya. Perbedaan tersebut antara lain :- Karakter yang dihilangkan dalam film ini adalah Ludo Bagman, Vernon Dursley, Petunia Dursley, Dudley Dursley, Bertha Jorkins, Dobby, Winky, Narcissa Malfoy, Molly Weasley, Percy Weasley, Bill Weasley, Charlie Weasley, Ollivander. Guru-guru juga sangat berkurang porsinya. Hanya Moody yang ditampilkan ketika memberikan pelajaran tentang Kutukan-Tak-Termaafkan.
- Tidak jelas siapa pemenang Piala Dunia Quidditch. Adegan Piala Dunia Quidditch hanyalah menegaskan bahwa Krum adalah seorang seeker nasional yang populer.
- Beauxbatons digambarkan sebagai sekolah khusus wanita, dan Durmstrang digambarkan sebagai sekolah khusus laki-laki. Tidak demikian halnya di buku.
- Di Tugas Triwizard pertama tidak ditunjukkan bagaimana para juara selain Harry menghadapi naganya. Di buku, naga yang dihadapi para juara berbeda-beda, dan naga-naga tersebut diikat erat, sehingga tidak mungkin terbang terlalu jauh.
- Di film sama sekali tidak disebutkan tentang Gerakan Pembebasan Peri Rumah (SPEW) yang dimotori Hermione.
- Karena Dobby tidak ditampilkan, yang membantu Harry di Tugas Kedua, yaitu memberikan Gillyweed pada Harry. Sehingga yang memeberikan Gillyweed adalah Neville.
- Sirius ada di satu adegan saja. Padahal di buku, perannya cukup besar. Bahkan ia kembali ke Hogsmeade untuk lebih dekat kepada Harry.
- Peran Rita Skeeter sangat kecil, padahal banyak hal penting menyangkut dirinya seperti terungkapnya ia sebagai animagus ilegal (yang digunakan sebagai ‘senjata’ Hermione di seri ke-5) dan tulisannya tentang cinta segitiga Harry, Hermione dan Krum yang menggelikan.
- Di film tidak disebutkan tentang Hadiah 1000 Galeon untuk pemenang Turnamen Triwizard. Di buku dijelaskan bahwa Harry mendapatkan uang tersebut (karena orangtua Cedric tidak mau menerimanya) dan memberikannya pada si Kembar Weasley yang digunakan oleh mereka sebagai modal untuk membuka toko lelucon mereka “Sihir Sakti Weasley” di seri ke-5.
- Di film tidak dijelaskan bahwa Karkaroff adalah bekas Pelahap Maut, dan bahwa ia kabur dari Hogwarts sebelum Turnamen selesai karena Tanda Kegelapan di lengannya makin jelas. Di buku dijelaskan bahwa Karkaroff adalah bekas Pelahap Maut yang menukar kebebasannya dengan memberikan nama-nama Pelahap Maut lainnya, sehingga ia amat takut ketika tahu bahwa Voldermort bangkit kembali.
- Di akhir film juga tidak dijelaskan bagaimana Dumbledore tidak sepaham dengan Kementerian Sihir. Entah mengapa, Newell tidak membuat ending yang ‘menggantung’ seperti bukunya. Sesungguhnya di seri ke-4 inilah Dumbledore secara tegas menyatakan ia ‘berpisah jalan’ dengan Kementerian, dan memulai instruksi-instruksi yang mengarah pada pengumpulan kembali Orde Phoenix

Synopsis
Plot introduction
Throughout the three previous novels in the Harry Potter series, the main character, Harry Potter, has struggled with the difficulties that come with growing up and the added challenge of being a famous wizard. When Harry was a baby, Voldemort, the most powerful Dark wizard in history, killed Harry's parents but mysteriously vanished after unsuccessfully trying to kill Harry. This results in Harry's immediate fame and his being placed in the care of his muggle, or non-magical, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, who have a son named Dudley Dursley.Harry enters the wizarding world at the age of 11, enrolling in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He makes friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and is confronted by Lord Voldemort trying to regain power. In Harry's first year he has to protect the Philosopher's Stone from Voldemort and one of his faithful followers in Hogwarts. After returning to the school after summer break, students at Hogwarts are attacked after the legendary "Chamber of Secrets" is opened. Harry ends the attacks by killing a Basilisk and defeating another attempt by Lord Voldemort to return to full strength. The following year, Harry hears that he has been targeted by escaped murderer Sirius Black. Despite stringent security measures at Hogwarts, Harry is confronted by Black at the end of his third year of schooling, and Harry learns that Black was framed and is actually Harry's godfather. He also learned that it was Sirius's, Lupin's and James Potter's friend Peter Pettigrew who actually betrayed his parents.
Plot summary
The story begins fifty years before the present day, with a description of how the Riddle family was mysteriously killed at supper, and their groundsman, Frank Bryce, was suspected of the crime, then declared innocent. 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 following day, the Weasleys arrive in the Dursleys' boarded-up fireplace to pick up Harry. The Weasley twins "accidentally" leave a trick toffee on the ground, which Dudley eats, causing his tongue to engorge itself. The Dursleys panic and throw things at Mr. Weasley as the Weasley boys and Harry exit through the fireplace. Harry arrives at The Burrow, the Weasley household, and there he meets for the two eldest Weasley brothers, Bill and Charlie, and there, Mrs. Weasley berates the twins for making Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and giving them to Dudley.
Early the next morning, the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione head off to the Quidditch World Cup. They travel by Portkey, a process that involves using a piece of trash as a touchstone for warping across space. They use the same Portkey as Cedric Diggory, another Hogwarts student, and his dad. 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 Hogwarts. 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.
The night after the game, a crowd of Death Eaters, followers of Voldemort who escaped punishment, torture four Muggles by levitating them in the air. Harry, Hermione and Ron escape by fleeing into the woods, where Harry discovers that his wand is missing. Moments later someone fires the Dark Mark (the sign of Voldemort) using Harry's wand. Winky the house-elf is found holding a wand at the scene of the crime. Mayhem ensues at the Ministry of Magic through the week.
Ron receives horrible second-hand robes from his mother and is upset. Amos Diggory brings news that a man named Mad-Eye Moody attacked an intruder at his house. Mr. Weasley runs to the Ministry to sort everything out. The Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione take "cars" to the train station and board the train to Hogwarts. Upon arriving, after the Sorting ceremony and in the middle of dinner in the Hogwarts Great Hall, Dumbledore announces that the Triwizard Tournament between schools will take place this year at Hogwarts, and also that Mad-Eye Moody will be the new teacher of defense against the dark arts.
Mad-Eye Moody is a competent teacher. He turns Malfoy into a ferret for trying to attack Harry while Harry's back is turned. In class, Moody teaches Gryffindor the three unforgivable curses, Imperius, Cruciatus, and Avada Kedavra (the curse that killed Harry's parents). Meanwhile, Hermione founds a society that advocates freeing house-elves, who are slaves. She asks Harry and Ron to wear badges. As Defense Against the Dark Arts progresses, Harry learns to successfully ward off the Imperius Curse.
In late October, the delegates from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang arrive, and 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 procure the pretty but annoying Patil twins as their partners for the Yule Ball. On Christmas, the night of the ball, Ron wears his awful dress robes and spends the entire night staring at Hermione, who is there as Viktor Krum's date. Harry spends the whole night feeling miserable about Cho and Cedric, and so Harry and Ron leave the ball for a stroll, during which they overhear Hagrid telling Madame Maxime, the giant head of Beauxbatons, that he is half-giant. After the ball that night, Cedric hints for Harry to take a bath with the golden egg, but Harry is wary of this advice. Harry returns to Gryffindor tower to find that Hermione and Ron are having a huge fight about why she went to the ball with Krum instead of with him.
The next day, Hagrid is not teaching class. Rita Skeeter has written an article saying that his ancestors, who are giants, give him a violent and dangerous nature. He is embarrassed and refuses to emerge from his cabin. During a trip to Hogsmeade, Ludo Bagman offers to help Harry with the tournament and mentions that Mr. Crouch has stopped coming to work. Hermione insults Rita for writing such horrible articles. Harry, Ron, and Hermione return to Hogwarts, visit Hagrid, and persuade him to return. Hagrid is grateful for their loyalty, and he begs Harry to win the tournament. That night Harry takes the egg into the bathtub. It sings that he 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. In his surprise, he drops the golden egg, which makes a loud screeching noise. Filch and Snape appear instantly. 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.
The night before the second task, Harry still has not figured out how to breathe under water. He falls asleep in the library and is awakened in the morning by Dobby, who gives him a ball of gillyweed and sends him off to the lake, where the task is starting. The gillyweed gives Harry gills, so he swims easily through the lake, finding Hermione, Ron, Cho, and Fleur's sister asleep and tied together in a merpeople village. Harry waits to make sure all of the champions rescue their hostages before returning to the surface. Fleur never comes, so he returns with her sister and with Ron, coming up last, but gaining high marks for his moral fiber in his completion of the task.
Soon afterwards, Rita Skeeter publishes an article claiming that Hermione toys with the hearts of both Harry and Krum. The three friends read the article in potions class. After class, Harry overhears Karkaroff confiding fearfully in Snape that something on his arm has returned. The following day, Harry, Ron, and Hermione meet Sirius Black, disguised as a large black dog named Padfoot, in Hogsmeade. He informs them that Mr. Crouch's son was convicted as a Death Eater, and he finds it peculiar that Mr. Crouch has not been coming to work, as well as that he never showed up to take the seat saved by Winky, his house-elf, at the World Cup. Back at Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, and Hermione visit the kitchens to give a gift of socks to Dobby, who is delighted. Winky is still sad and currently drunk, and she mentions between hiccups that she is guarding a great secret for her ex-master. Around this time, Hermione begins getting hate mail for supposedly breaking Harry Potter's heart.
The four champions are taken to see the grounds for the maze, their third task, and on the way back, Krum pulls Harry into the forest to ask if he is at all romantically interested in Hermione. When Harry answers no, a disheveled Mr. Crouch appears from the forest, speaking to trees and madly demanding to see Dumbledore. Harry runs to get Dumbldore while Krum waits with Mr. Crouch; when Harry returns, Mr. Crouch has stunned Krum and disappeared, much to everyone's puzzlement. Sirius sends Harry a letter warning him to be careful and to practice hexes for the third task; Harry tries to follow both instructions. In Divination class, Harry falls asleep and dreams about Voldemort, and he wakes up screaming and clutching his scar. Harry leaves class and goes to tell Dumbledore what happened. As he waits for Dumbledore to return to his office, he peers into a Pensieve and enters Dumbledore's memories of various Death Eater trials, including that of Ludo Bagman, Karkaroff, and Mr. Crouch's son. Dumbledore returns, pulls Harry from the memory-world, listens to his story, and says that he suspects that Voldemort is growing stronger.
The morning of the third task, Rita Skeeter prints an article about how Harry fainted in class and is possibly disturbed. The evening of the task, the four champions enter the maze, and Harry finds his path relatively manageable. Soon both Fleur and Krum are out of the running, and Harry and Cedric, the only remaining contestants, arrive at the trophy at the same time, and they both agree to touch it together. The trophy turns out to be a portkey, and it takes both boys to a far away graveyard, where a man in a hood instantly kills Cedric and ties up Harry. The man, Wormtail, drops the bundle he is carrying (Voldemort's current form) into a cauldron, as well as ashes from Voldemort's father, blood from Harry's arm, and Wormtail's own right hand. Voldemort resumes his body and rises from the cauldron. Voldemort presses a tattoo of the Dark Mark on Wormtail's arm, and suddenly Death Eaters begin appearing in a circle around them. Voldemort explains to Harry and his Death Eaters his fall from and rise back to power, and then he challenges Harry to a duel. Harry prepares for death, but he manages to use the disarming spell on Voldemort just as Voldemort cries "Avada Kedavra!" the killing curse, at Harry. The light from the two wands meets in midair and remains connected. Voldemort's past victims emerge from his wand and protect Harry once the wand connection is broken, giving him time to grab Cedric's body and touch the trophy, thus returning to Hogwarts.
Once Harry returns, he is weak and shaken. Moody carries him into the castle, where Moody reveals that he is in fact a Death Eater, and that he was responsible for placing Harry's name in the Goblet and for turning the trophy into a portkey. Moody also informs Harry that Karkaroff felt his Dark Mark burn and then fled that night. Moody prepares to kill Harry when Dumbledore and other teachers burst into the room, stunning Moody and saving Harry. Dumbledore explains to Harry that Moody's body is a disguised version of Mr. Crouch's son, the young Barty, and that he has made the switch by drinking Polyjuice potion every hour. After some time, the potion wears off and Harry recognizes Barty Crouch. Snape gives Crouch truth serum, and Crouch explains how his father smuggled him out of prison and allowed him to live under an Invisibility cloak, guarded by Winky; and how Bertha Jorkins discovered him and ultimately was relieved of his information by Voldemort, who returned to find young Crouch. He also says that he killed his father, and that he was hoping to bring Voldemort back into power by bringing Harry to him. Then Dumbledore takes Harry into his own office, where he asks Harry to explain what he saw in the graveyard to him and to Sirius, who had arrived. After listening to Harry, Dumbledore explains that the wands of Harry and Voldemort are made of feathers from the same phoenix, so one was forced to regurgitate its spells when the two wants met.
Harry is sent to bed, and in the night he is awakened by an argument between Cornelius Fudge and Dumbledore, in which Dumbledore tries unsuccessfully to persuade Fudge to take precautions against Voldemort's new power. Fudge refuses to believe that this is possible. He gives Harry the tournament prize money and leaves huffily. Soon the term ends, and at the final dinner Dumbledore makes a speech telling everyone how Cedric was murdered by Voldemort, and how the future looks bleak and would require them to join together. On the train ride back to London, Hermione shows Harry and Ron a beetle in a jar—Rita Skeeter's animagus form—that she caught and warned not to write any more untrue things. As the students leave the train, Harry gives his gold to the Weasley twins to help start their practical joke company, and he asks that they use some of it to buy Ron a new pair of dress robes. Harry returns to the Dursleys for the summer.
Rita Skeeter subplot
Rita Skeeter, a writer for the Daily Prophet, spends much of the story writing lies about Harry (about the time his scar hurt after a strange dream in Divination), Hagrid (about the time he told Madame Maxime about his mother), and Hermione (in love with Viktor Krum). Skeeter carries out secret interviews with Slytherin students to get the fodder for some of her stories, but the sources for others are inexplicable. Initially, Harry suspects that she has an Invisibility Cloak, but Hermione knows that "Mad-Eye" Moody would have been able to see through the cloak with his magical eye. Next, Harry thinks that she may have had areas of the school bugged. However, Hermione tells them that electronic devices do not work in Hogwarts because of the magic in the air. Near the end of the book, Hermione finally realises how Skeeter was doing this: she is an unregistered Animagus and can turn into a beetle. Harry and Ron realise that there was a beetle on the statue at the Yule ball, and later in Hermione's hair after the second task, and on the window of Divination class when Harry's scar hurt, and that the Slytherins knew about it all along. Hermione eventually traps Skeeter, in beetle form, in a jar and does not release her until the train reaches London (but threatens to inform the authorities if Skeeter writes any more stories).Release history and reception
Background
Until the official title's announcement on 27 June 2000, the fourth book was called by its working title, Harry Potter and the Doomspell Tournament. J. K. Rowling expressed her indecision about the title in an Entertainment Weekly interview. "I changed my mind twice on what [the title] was. The working title had got out — Harry Potter and the Doomspell Tournament. Then I changed Doomspell to Triwizard Tournament. Then I was teetering between Goblet of Fire and Triwizard Tournament. In the end, I preferred Goblet of Fire because it's got that kind of cup of destiny feel about it, which is the theme of the book."Rowling mentioned that she originally had a Weasley relative named Malfalda, who, according to Rowling, "was the daughter of the 'second cousin who's a stockbroker' mentioned in Philosopher's Stone. This stockbroker had been very rude to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley in the past, but now he and his (Muggle) wife had inconveniently produced a witch, they came back to the Weasleys asking for their help in introducing her to wizarding society before she starts at Hogwarts". Malfalda was supposed to be a Slytherin and who was to fill in the Rita Skeeter subplot, but eventually was removed as "there were obvious limitations to what an eleven year old closeted at school could discover". Rowling considered Rita Skeeter to be "...much more flexible". Rowling also admitted that the fourth book was the most difficult to write at the time, because she noticed a giant plot hole halfway through writing. In particular, Rowling had trouble with the ninth chapter, "The Dark Mark", which she rewrote 13 times.
