'''''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire''''' is a [[fantasy novel]] written by British author [[J. K. Rowling]]. It is the fourth novel in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series. It follows [[Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter]], a wizard in his fourth year at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]], and the mystery surrounding the entry of Harry's name into the Triwizard Tournament, in which he is forced to compete.

The book was published in the United Kingdom by [[Bloomsbury Publishing|Bloomsbury]] and in the United States by [[Scholastic Corporation|Scholastic]]. In both countries, the release date was 8 July 2000. This was the first time a book in the series was published in both countries at the same time. The novel won a [[Hugo Award]], the only ''Harry Potter'' novel to do so, in 2001. The book was adapted into a [[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film)|film]], released worldwide on 18 November 2005, and a [[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (video game)|video game]] by [[Electronic Arts]].

==Plot==

When Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger attend the [[Quidditch]] World Cup during the Summer with Ron's family, the World Cup is attacked by cloaked assailants who resemble [[Death Eaters]], the followers of [[Voldemort]]. When the school term begins at Hogwarts, [[Mad-Eye Moody|Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody]] is introduced as the new [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]] professor. Dumbledore announces that students from the foreign wizarding schools [[Beauxbatons]] and [[Durmstrang]] will be arriving at Hogwarts to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. A relic called the [[Goblet of Fire]] is placed in the main hall, and students are invited to nominate themselves for the tournament by putting their name into it. Although Harry does not nominate himself, he is mysteriously selected to compete against the older students [[Cedric Diggory]], [[Fleur Delacour]] and [[Viktor Krum]].

Harry is interviewed by ''[[Daily Prophet]]'' reporter [[Rita Skeeter]], who writes a scathing article portraying him as a disturbed attention-seeker. Using the Hogwarts [[Floo Network]], Harry speaks with his godfather [[Sirius Black]], who warns him about Durmstrang's headmaster [[Igor Karkaroff]], who is a former Death Eater. Sirius believes that Harry's selection for the dangerous tournament is somehow connected to the attack at the World Cup. Hagrid alerts Harry that the First Task involves a dragon. After Moody reminds Harry that he is an expert flyer, Harry magically summons his broomstick and uses it to fly past the dragon and accomplish the task.

As Christmas approaches, Harry asks a girl named [[List of Harry Potter characters#Cho Chang|Cho Chang]] to the [[Yule Ball]], but she is already going with Cedric. Harry and Ron end up going to the ball with the twin sisters [[Parvati Patil|Parvati]] and [[Padma Patil]]. Ron is sullen as he observes Hermione dancing with Krum. As the Second Task nears, Harry learns that he will need to rescue someone from the lake. The house-elf [[Dobby (Harry Potter)|Dobby]] gives him [[Gillyweed]], which allows him to breathe underwater long enough to rescue both Ron and Fleur's sister Gabrielle. He is awarded extra points for his bravery and is tied for first place.

In the Third Task, Harry and his competitors must navigate a maze of obstacles to reach the Triwizard Cup. Harry and Cedric reach the Cup at the same time and decide to grab it together. They are immediately transported to a graveyard, where [[Peter Pettigrew (character)|Peter Pettigrew]] kills Cedric and subdues Harry. Using Harry's blood, he performs a rite that returns Voldemort to bodily form. As Voldemort and Harry duel, their wands magically connect. This distraction allows Harry the chance to escape back to Hogwarts with the Cup and Cedric's body.

Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape discover that Moody is actually the Death Eater [[Barty Crouch Jr]]. When they administer him a truth potion, he reveals that he placed Harry's name in the Goblet, supported him through the Tasks, and ensured he was transported to the graveyard for the rite. Crouch Jr. is handed over to the [[Dementors]], who render him soulless with the Dementor's Kiss. Recovering in the hospital wing, Harry narrates the events to Cedric's parents. He offers them his tournament winnings, but they refuse it, so he gives the gold to [[Fred and George Weasley]] so they can realize their dream of opening a joke shop. During a memorial service for Cedric, Dumbledore tells the students of Hogwarts that Voldemort has returned.

==Development==
''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'' is the fourth book in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series. The first, ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]'', was published by Bloomsbury on 26 June 1997. The second, ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]'', was published on 2 July 1998. The third, ''[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'', followed on 8 July 1999.<ref name="timeline" /> ''Goblet of Fire'' is almost twice the size of the first three books (the paperback edition was 636 pages). [[J. K. Rowling]] stated that she "knew from the beginning it would be the biggest of the first four." She said there needed to be a "proper run-up" for the conclusion and rushing the "complex plot" could confuse readers. She also stated that "everything is on a bigger scale," which was symbolic, as [[Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter]]'s horizons widened both literally and metaphorically as he grew up. She also wanted to explore more of the magical world.<ref name="EW" />

Until the official title's announcement on 27 June 2000, the book was called by its working title, "''Harry Potter IV''". Previously, in April, the publisher had listed it as ''Harry Potter and the Doomspell Tournament''. However,<ref>{{cite web |first=Holly |last=Hartman |url=http://www.infoplease.com/spot/harrypotter4.html |title=Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Pre-release<!-- Bot generated title --> |publisher=Infoplease |date=20 January 2000 |access-date=3 December 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208140234/http://www.infoplease.com/spot/harrypotter4.html |archive-date=8 February 2012 }}</ref> J.&nbsp;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&nbsp;— ''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."<ref name="EW" />

Rowling mentioned that she originally wrote a Weasley relative named Mafalda, 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.&nbsp;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".<ref name="extra">{{cite web |url=http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=3 |title=Section: Extra Stuff |access-date=21 March 2011 |publisher=J.

Rowling considered Rita Skeeter to be "much more flexible".<ref name="extra"/> Rowling also admitted that the fourth book was the most difficult to write at the time because the Mafalda character also served as a giant [[plot hole]], which she discovered halfway through writing.<ref name="EW">{{cite magazine|first=Jeff|last=Jensen|url=https://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20431232_276929,00.html|title=Rowling Thunder|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=4 August 2000|access-date=28 November 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130602165907/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20431232_276929,00.html|archive-date=2 June 2013}}</ref>

==Themes==
Jeff Jensen, who interviewed Rowling for ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' in 2000, pointed out that [[bigotry]] is a big theme in the ''Harry Potter'' novels and ''Goblet of Fire'' in particular. He mentioned how Voldemort and his followers are prejudiced against Muggles and how, in ''Goblet of Fire,'' Hermione forms a group to liberate Hogwarts' house-elves who have "been indentured servants so long they lack desire for anything else."<ref name="EW" /> When asked why she explored this theme, Rowling replied,

{{blockquote|Because bigotry is probably the thing I detest most. All forms of intolerance, the whole idea of ''that which is different from me is necessarily evil.'' I really like to explore the idea that difference is equal and good. But there's another idea that I like to explore, too. Oppressed groups are not, generally speaking, people who stand firmly together – no, sadly, they kind of subdivide among themselves and fight like hell. That's human nature, so that's what you see here. This world of wizards and witches, they're already ostracized, and then within themselves, they've formed a loathsome pecking order.<ref name="EW" />}}

She also commented that she did not feel this was too "heavy" for children, as it was one of those things that a "huge number of children at that age start to think about."<ref name="EW" />

===UK/US release===
''Goblet of Fire'' was the first book in the Harry Potter series to be released in the United States on the same date as the United Kingdom, on 8 July 2000, strategically on a Saturday so children did not have to worry about school conflicting with buying the book.<ref name="timeline" /> It had a combined first-printing of over five million copies.<ref name="timeline">{{cite web |url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/235354 |title=A Potter timeline for muggles |work=Toronto Star |date=14 July 2007 |access-date=21 March 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081220001353/http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/235354 |archive-date=20 December 2008 }}</ref> It was given a record-breaking print run of 3.9 million.

====Launch publicity====
To publicise the book, a special train named ''[[Hogwarts Express]]'' was organised by [[Bloomsbury Publishing|Bloomsbury]], and run from [[London King's Cross railway station|King's Cross]] to [[Perth railway station, Scotland|Perth]], carrying J.K. Rowling, a consignment of books for her to sign and sell, also representatives of Bloomsbury and the press. The book was launched on 8 July 2000, on platform&nbsp;1 at King's Cross&nbsp;– which had been given "Platform {{frac|9|3|4}}" signs for the occasion&nbsp;– following which the train departed. En route it called at [[Didcot Railway Centre]], {{stnlnk|Kidderminster}}, the [[Severn Valley Railway]], {{stnlnk|Crewe}} (overnight stop), [[Manchester Piccadilly station|Manchester]], [[Bradford Interchange|Bradford]], {{stnlnk|York}}, the [[National Railway Museum]] (overnight stop), [[Newcastle railway station|Newcastle]], [[Edinburgh Waverley railway station|Edinburgh]], arriving at Perth on 11 July.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.uksteam.info/tours/trs00.htm#jul |title=March Web - UK mainline steam rail tours 2000 |access-date=31 March 2020 |archive-date=24 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200224084020/http://www.uksteam.info/tours/trs00.htm#jul |url-status=live }}</ref>

The locomotive was [[SR West Country and Battle of Britain classes|''West Country'' class steam locomotive]] no.&nbsp;34027 ''Taw Valley'', which was specially repainted red for the tour; it later returned to its normal green livery (the repaints were requested and paid for by Bloomsbury). The coaches of the train included a sleeping car. A Diesel locomotive was coupled at the other end, for use when reversals were necessary, such as the first stage of the journey as far as Ferme Park, just south of {{stnlnk|Hornsey}}. The tour generated considerably more press interest than the launch of the film ''[[Thomas and the Magic Railroad]]'', which premiered in London the same weekend.<ref>{{cite journal |editor-first=Nick |editor-last=Pigott |editor-link=Nick Pigott |date=July 2000 |title=Headline News: Red livery for Taw Valley? |journal=[[The Railway Magazine]] |volume=146 |issue=1191 |page=17 |publisher=IPC Magazines |location=London   }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |editor-first=Nick |editor-last=Pigott |date=August 2000 |title=Headline News: Taw Valley set for four-day tour in EWS red |journal=The Railway Magazine |volume=146 |issue=1192 |at=p. 5, photo; p. 14 |publisher=IPC Magazines |location=London   }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |editor-first=Nick |editor-last=Pigott |date=September 2000 |title=Headline News: 'Hogwarts Express' shunts 'Thomas' into a siding |journal=The Railway Magazine |volume=146 |issue=1193 |page=15 |publisher=IPC Magazines |location=London   }}</ref>

===Critical reception===
In [[The New York Times Book Review|''The New York Times'' Book Review]], author [[Stephen King]] stated the ''Goblet of Fire'' was "every bit as good as Potters&nbsp;1 through 3" and praised the humour and subplots, although he commented that "there's also a moderately tiresome amount of adolescent squabbling...it's a teenage thing".<ref name="King">{{cite news|url=https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/00/07/23/reviews/000723.23kinglt.html|title=Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire|last=King|first=Stephen|date=23 July 2000|work=The New York Times|access-date=13 March 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090424025758/http://www.nytimes.com/2000/07/23/books/rowling-goblet.html?ex=1222747200&en=6a7b0d89257dcebb&ei=5070|archive-date=24 April 2009|url-status=live|author-link=Stephen King}}</ref> ''[[Kirkus Reviews]]'' called it "another grand tale of magic and mystery...and clicking along so smoothly that it seems shorter than it is".

Kristin Lemmerman of [[CNN]] said that it is not great literature: 'Her prose has more in common with your typical beach-blanket fare and the beginning contained too much recap to introduce characters to new readers, although Rowling quickly gets back on track, introducing readers to a host of well-drawn new characters.'<ref name="CNN">{{cite web |first=Kristin |last=Lemmerman |url=http://articles.cnn.com/2000-07-14/entertainment/review.potter.goblet_1_harry-potter-lord-voldemort-goblet?_s=PM:books |title=Review: Gladly drinking from Rowling's 'Goblet of Fire' |publisher=CNN|date=14 July 2000 |access-date=13 March 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101114005624/http://articles.cnn.com/2000-07-14/entertainment/review.potter.goblet_1_harry-potter-lord-voldemort-goblet?_s=PM%3Abooks |archive-date=14 November 2010 }}</ref> Writing for [[Salon.com]], Charles Taylor was generally positive about the change of mood and development of characters.<ref name="Salon">{{cite web |first=Charles |last=Taylor |url=http://www.salon.com/books/review/2000/07/10/potter |title=The plot deepens |work=[[Salon.com|Salon]] |date=10 July 2000 |access-date=13 March 2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110124063826/http://www.salon.com/books/review/2000/07/10/potter |archive-date=24 January 2011 }}</ref> ''Entertainment Weekly''{{'s}} reviewer Kristen Baldwin gave ''Goblet of Fire'' the grade of A−, praising the development of the characters as well as the many themes presented.

In ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'', major characters deliver memorable lines that capture key themes: Dumbledore warns of the tournament's dangers, Moody introduces the lethal Unforgivable Curses, and Voldemort reveals that his power was undone by love. Through these characters' journeys, the story conveys themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the unified fight against darkness.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://movie.douban.com/subject/1309055/ |title=哈利·波特与火焰杯 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire |date=15 May 2017 |last=jfflnzw |first=Peanut Grading |language=zh-CN |access-date=25 October 2024 |via=movie.douban.com}}</ref>
