This story is about the Triwizard Tournament which is the tournament of magical expertise, wisdom and the respectful spirit of students among three wizarding schools. The Goblet of Fire is similar to the Olympic torch. One topic of this story is about friendship not only between Harry and Cedric [a fellow student] but also between Harry and Dobby, the house elf who is encouraged to be free from slavery by Hermione’s campaign against elf slavery and helps Harry come out of difficulty. The other topic is the return of Voldemort in a full wizarding shape.
Dumbledore announces that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts and introduces Mad-Eye Moody as the new teacher for Defense against the Dark Arts. Mad-Eye Moody replaces the position of Lupin who is Harry’s father’s friend; is found to be a werewolf; and is forbidden to teach in Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic. The Goblet of Fire announces one additional competitor, Harry, in addition to the other three competitors: Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum. Harry completes the three tasks of the tournament. Although Harry and Cedric complete the three tasks perfectly, the two contestants touch the trophy at the same time due to their friendship rather than competition.
The trophy, which is a portkey [a magical transporter], sends Harry and Cedric to a cemetery and they are attacked by Voldemort. Wormtail kills Cedric, attacks Harry and succeeds to complete the resurrection of Voldemort. Harry manages to return to Hogwarts with the dead body of Cedric after witnessing the resurrection of Voldemort and after fighting against the deathly curse. It is found that the portkey was converted to transport to the cemetery and Voldemort devised this scheme to lure Harry and regain his power. After listening to Harry’s experience in the graveyard, Dumbledore warns Fudge, the minister, about Voldemort’ empowerment but Fudge ignores it.
