What is the blurb of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?

Answer 1

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry attends the Quidditch World Cup which is attacked by Death Eaters who leave behind Voldemort's Dark Mark. Harry then returns to Hogwarts for his fourth year, and soon discovers that the school will be hosting the Triwizard Tournament.

One champion from each of the three competing schools, Hogwarts, Drumstrang and Beauxbatons, is selected to compete in three tasks. Those interested in representing their school who are over the age of seventeen put their name into the Goblet of Fire, which will select one person from each school.

On the night of the ceremony, the Goblet of Fire issues the three champions (Victor Krum of Dumstrang, Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons and Cedric Diggory of Hogwarts) and then selects a fourth champion - Harry. The rules of the tournament means that Harry has no choice but to compete. Harry completes the first two tasks with a lot of help and ends up in joint first place at the start of the third task, the goal is to navigate to the centre of the maze and collect the Triwizard Cup.

Harry and Cedric reach the cup at the same time, and are immediately transported to a graveyard. Peter Pettigrew appears carrying what appears to be a baby, and murders Cedric. Peter then conducts a ceremony to restore Voldemort to his body. Harry and Voldemort face off, and Harry manages to escape back to Hogwarts where he tells Dumbledore what happened. It is revealed that Mad-Eye Moody was actually Barty Crouch Jr, a death eater. He entered Harry into the tournament, and turned the cup into a portkey to deliver Harry to Voldemort.

Answer 2

Harry Potter has a dream about Frank Bryce, the ex-caretaker at the Riddle family mansion, who is caught eavesdropping on a deformed Tom Riddle and his servant, Peter Pettigrew. In Harry's dream, Bryce is killed by Voldemort. We later discover this wasn't so much a dream as a vision. Later in the summer, Harry, Hermione Granger, and the Weasley family take a trip to the Quidditch World Cup. While there, Death Eaters, Voldemort's servants, storm the grounds, harass some muggles, and run away when they see the Dark Mark in the sky.

At Hogwarts Albus Dumbledore announces during the welcoming feast that the school will host the Triwizard Tournament, an inter-school competition. One student from each of three magical schools will be chosen by the Goblet of Fire to compete. The other two magical institutions, Beauxbatons Academy, and Durmstrang Institute, arrive at Hogwarts two months into the school term. The champions chosen by the goblet were: Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons, Viktor Krum of Durmstrang, and Cedric Diggory of Hogwarts. Mysteriously, Harry is also chosen, even though he did not submit his name, and is underage and ought to have been magically blocked from doing so. Ron Weasley is instantly infuriated, thinking Harry submitted himself, and their friendship suffers.

The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, a former Auror and Dumbledore's friend. He teaches his students the three Unforgivable Curses in class, a lesson which is illegal. Those curses are the Imperius Curse, which forces the victim to do the caster's bidding; the Cruciatus Curse, a spell that tortures its victim; and the killing curse called Avada Kedavra. Harry learns he is the only known person to have survived the killing curse, cast against him by Voldemort when Harry was a baby.

In the first task of the tournament, the champions each are to retrieve a golden egg from a dragon, which contains a clue for the second task. Harry completes the task with help from Rubeus Hagrid and Professor Moody. Following the end of the first task, Ron and Harry mend their broken friendship. The second tournament task requires retrieving something important taken from each champion hidden in the Black Lake. Ten minutes before the task, Harry is given gillyweed by Dobby the house elf so he can breathe underwater. Harry finds the four "important objects" of the tournament's contestants: Ron, Hermione, Cho, and Fleur's little sister, Gabrielle Delacour. He is forced to rescue Gabrielle along with Ron when Fleur does not come, which causes him to lose the challenge, but he gain points for 'moral fibre.'

After the second task, Harry and Krum are startled when a disheveled Barty Crouch, Sr. emerge from the forest, mumbling nonsense and demanding to see Dumbledore. Harry runs for help, but when he returns with Dumbledore, they find Krum unconscious and Crouch missing. Harry learns more about the Crouches when he sees one of Dumbledore's memories in the Pensieve, a memory storing tool. The memory shows Barty Crouch, Jr, a Death Eater, sentenced to Azkaban by Barty Crouch Sr for torturing Frank and Alice Longbottom (Neville's parents) into insanity.

The third and final tournament task involves navigating a large maze located on the Quidditch Pitch which is filled with magical obstacles. Harry and Cedric successfully help each other navigate the maze. They reach the Triwizard cup and agree to take hold of it simultaneously, making both of them the winners. The Cup turns out to be a portkey that transports them to an old graveyard in Little Hangleton. Pettigrew and a deformed Lord Voldemort, are there. Pettigrew kills Diggory, and ties Harry's hands and feet to the Riddle tombstone. He then uses a bone from Voldemort's father's grave, some of Harry's blood, and his own cut-off hand in a magical ritual that restores Lord Voldemort to a new body.

Voldemort summons Death Eaters, and reveals that a servant of his at Hogwarts ensured that Harry would participate in the tournament, win it, and thus be brought to the graveyard. Harry tries to disarm Voldemort with the Expelliarmus spell, at exactly the same time as Voldemort uses the killing curse. The two curses meet and interlock, causing a bond between the wands that displays the "echoes" (described by Dumbledore) of Voldemort's most recent murdered victims, including Cedric, James and Lily Potter. The "echoes" provide protection to Harry, allowing him to escape with Cedric's body and leaving Voldemort behind in a rage.

Harry, carrying Cedric's body, returns to the school grounds. Moody rushes Harry to his office, where he reveals that he was Voldemort's servant, and attempts to kill Harry himself. Moody is stopped by Dumbledore, Severus Snape, and Minerva McGonagall. Dumbledore feeds Moody Veritaserum, and they discover that "Moody" is actually Barty Crouch, Jr, who was smuggled out of Azkaban and was using a Polyjuice Potion to impersonate the real Alastor Moody. Cornelius Fudge, the Minister for Magic, arrives at Hogwarts accompanied by a Dementor which gives Crouch Jr the "Dementor's Kiss", sucking out his soul. Fudge refuses to believe Dumbledore's and Harry's word that Voldemort is back.

Harry is crowned Triwizard Champion and awarded with 1,000 galleons which he gives to Fred and George to start a joke shop. Dumbledore then makes an announcement at the gloomy Leaving Feast, telling everybody about Voldemort and saying that to deny the true way Cedric died would be 'an insult to his memory.'

Answer 3

• Harry is entered in the Triwizard Tournament by someone secretly.
• This tournament is very hard and Harry soon feels the pressure.
• Harry suspects someone is out to kill him.
• Harry meets Voldemort at the graveyard.
• Voldemort returns to full power.
• Voldemort kills Cedric Diggory.

The resolution could be that Harry figures out who put his name in the cup (Barty Crouch Jr.) and who was posing as Professor Moody (Barty Crouch Jr.).

Answer 4

Harry Potter goes back to Hogwarts and finds out that there will be a tournament called the Triwizard Tournament. Two other Schools show up to compete in the tournament and a representative of each school is chosen to compete. After each School's representative is chosen by the Goblet of Fire, it does something it doesn't normally do. It spits out another name. Harry Potter becomes the fourth competitor alongside Hogwarts other competitor Cedric Diggory. Eventually the tournament gets to the last event and Harry and Cedric find the Goblet together but it turns out it is actually a transporter to a graveyard where Voldemort comes back alive. He fights Harry and kills Cedric.
