Synopsis
Dangerous competitions, subterfuge, and the Dark Mark mingle in this fourth explosive installment of the internationally adored Harry Potter series. The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is hosting the first Triwizard Tournament in a century, a contest that pits Hogwarts against two other powerful schools of the magical arts. By tradition, the Goblet of Fire names the one lucky student from each institution--three in all--chosen to participate in the prestigious event. However, this year, the Goblet calls out a fourth name as well--that of 14-year-old Harry Potter. Terrified of magic far more advanced than anything he’s mastered, Harry must put up with school-wide suspicions that he cheated his way into the event. And then he must face life-threatening tasks. But at the same time, Harry develops a crush on the lovely Cho Chang of Ravenclaw, and this distracts him from his mounting difficulties. Both a year 2000 New York Times Notable Book and a Publishers Weekly Best Children's Book of 2000., Fourteen-year-old Harry Potter joins the Weasleys at the Quidditch World Cup, then enters his fourth year at Hogwarts Academy where he is mysteriously entered in an unusual contest that challenges his wizarding skills, friendships and character, amid signs that an old enemy is growing stronger., In this fourth installment of the Harry Potter series The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is preparing to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, a contest which pits Hogwarts against two other powerful schools of the magical arts. As by tradition, the Goblet of Fire names the three Hogwarts students chosen to participate, but this year the Goblet calls out a fourth name as well--that of 14-year-old Harry Potter. Meanwhile, Harry becomes distracted by his growing interest in the opposite sex and receives yet another warning that his life is in danger. Named a year 2000 Notable Books by the New York Times and one of the Best Children's Books 2000 by Publishers Weekly.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The villagers of Little Hangleton still called it "the Riddle House," even though it had been many years since the Riddle family had lived there."
Industry Reviews
"[This book] is exactly the big, clever, vibrant, tremendously assured installment that gives shape and direction to the whole undertaking and still somehow preserves the material's enchanting innocence....What makes the Potter books so popular is the radically simple fact that they're so good....This time she achieves her most lucid, well-plotted and exciting conclusion....[This is an] uncommonly good book, with a substantial feel and artful chapter illustrations that anticipate the narrative....Today's readers are bound to appreciate that....Future generations, for whom the Harry Potter books will be classics, should like it, too."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (07/10/2000)
"[This book] brings the fun, and not just in stingy little buckets....At 734 pages, GOBLET brings it by the lorry load....The most remarkable thing...is that Rowling's punning, one eyebrow-cocked sense of humor goes the distance."
New York Times Book Review - Stephen King (07/23/2000)
