"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is a 2005 fantasy film directed by Mike Newell. It is the fourth installment in the film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series. The film follows "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and precedes "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
The story revolves around the Triwizard Tournament, a magical competition held between three wizarding schools: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, and Durmstrang Institute. Despite being underage, Harry Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe) is unexpectedly selected as one of the champions, leading to a series of dangerous and mysterious challenges. The return of the dark wizard Lord Voldemort looms in the background, and the film marks a turning point in the series as the wizarding world becomes increasingly aware of the threat posed by Voldemort.
"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" received positive reviews for its darker and more mature tone, the portrayal of the Triwizard Tournament, and the introduction of key elements in the overarching narrative. The film features the return of familiar characters and introduces new ones, including Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory and Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort.
As with the rest of the "Harry Potter" film series, "Goblet of Fire" is celebrated for its faithful adaptation of the source material and its contribution to the overall arc of the wizarding world.
