Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire tells the story of Harry and his friends in their fourth year at Hogwarts as they experience the Triwizard Tournament, an interscholastic competition between the three main wizarding academies in which Harry is erroneously entered as a superfluous fourth contestant. As the middle point in the Harry Potter hepatology, Goblet of Fire represents a turning point in the series' maturity; just as Harry and his friends face the challenges of young adulthood, the wizarding world's fear of Voldemort's return develops into a real threat that must be reckoned with.
