"There will be three tasks, spaced throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different ways... their magical prowess - their daring - their powers of deduction - and, of course, their ability to cope with danger."

The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive! --back cover

LemmiSchmoeker reviewed Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling (Harry Potter, #4)

The last book that relies on an overarching plot

4 stars

After the very eerie ending of the third book, this one is quite light-hearted for the most part. What's new is that people are now being killed as part of the plotline, and much of Voldemort's reign of terror is revealed.

The plot is well-constructed (as would be expected), but Rowling's knack of introducing a new basic form of magic in every book and then overusing it as a plot device becomes slightly annoying here. Still, this is the last book that relies on an overarching plot, and should be enjoyed as such.
