Best Answer

Harry was selected because the fake 'Mad-Eye', who turned out to be a follower of Voldemort by the name of Barty Crouch Jr, had put Harry's name in the cup in hopes that he would make it to the end and be transported to the Death Eaters who were resurrecting Voldemort.

Barty Crouch Jr, a death eater posing as Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody, entered Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire under a different school and confounded the Goblet into believing four schools were competing. Having only one name to choose from for the fourth school, the Goblet picked Harry.
