Harry Potter spent the end of his summer with the Weasleys before going to the Quidditch World Cup. A group of Death Eaters attack a number of Muggle bystanders and Voldemort's sign, the Dark Mark caused terror amongst wizards when it is seen again. Back at the Hogwarts school, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher was retired. The school's Triwizard Tournament was to be restarted, and to be held at Hogwarts. The names of all intending participants were put into a goblet known as the Goblet of Fire which would shoot out one name from each of the three competing schools which were Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. Mysteriously, the Goblet also spit out Harry's name and he was forced to participate. Harry suspected that he has been deliberately put in grave danger, but Ron refused to believe Harry did not enter himself. Hagrid revealed the secret first task to Harry and Madame Maxime who was the Headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy. The champions had to battle a dragon in order to retrieve a golden egg. Igor Karkaroff who was the Headmaster of the Durmstrang Institute saw the dragons leaving only official Hogwarts champion Cedric Diggory who does not know what awaits him. Harry feels this is unfair and informs Diggory, but he still ent on to win the first task. The tasks were terrifying for Ron and Hermione. Harry's friendship with Ron is saved once Ron realized just how dangerous the Tournament was oing to be. In the last part of the Tournament, Harry and Cedric arrived at the trophy first and decided that because of the help they provided to each other, to grab the trophy at the same time. The trophy turned out to be a Portkey which was a a magical object which transports them to a graveyard where they found Peter Pettigrew and Lord Voldemort. Pettigrew killed Cedric, then used Harry's blood as part of a ritual to restore Voldemort's body. Voldemort summons the Death Eaters and attempted to kill Harry, but Harry escaped and carried Cedric's body. Harry used the trophy to return to Hogwarts. Back at the castle, Professor Moody was revealed as an imposter and Barty Crouch Jr had imprisoned the real Moody in a trunk. Crouch had been the one who placed Harry's name in the goblet. He was captured but a dementor took his soul before he could be made to repeat his story to Cornelius Fudge who was the minister of magic,who refuses to believe that Voldemort has returned.
The climax of the novel is during the tournament when the trophy turns out to be a portkey, and it takes Harry and Cedric to a far away graveyard, where a man in a hood instantly kills Cedric and ties up Harry. The man, Wormtail, dropped the bundle he was carrying into a cauldron, as well as ashes from Voldemort's father, blood from Harry's arm, and Wormtail's own right hand. Voldemort resumed his body and rose from the cauldron. Voldemort pressed a tattoo of the Dark Mark on Wormtail's arm, and suddenly Death Eaters began appearing in a circle around them. Voldemort explained to Harry and his Death Eaters his rise back to power, and then he challenges Harry to a duel. Harry prepared for death, but managed to use the disarming spell on Voldemort just as Voldemort cried the killing curse,at Harry. The light from the two wands meets in midair and remaineconnected. Voldemort's past victims emerged from his wand and protect Harry once the wand connection was broken, which gave him time to grab Cedric's body and touch the trophy that returne dhim to Hogwarts.
