Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a 2005 fantasy film directed by Mike Newell and released by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is the fourth installment in the Harry Potter film series, based on the 2000 novel of the same name by J.K. Rowling. The movie follows the young wizard Harry Potter as he faces increasingly dangerous challenges while participating in the Triwizard Tournament, a magical competition that pits students from three wizarding schools against each other.

The plot of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire revolves around Harry’s unexpected selection as a competitor in the Triwizard Tournament, despite being underage. Along with his friends Ron Weasley (played by Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (played by Emma Watson), Harry must navigate the treacherous tasks of the tournament. The tournament itself is filled with magical creatures, puzzles, and deadly trials, pushing Harry to his limits. Throughout the movie, Harry struggles with his newfound fame and the dangers that surround him, especially as dark forces begin to resurface in the wizarding world.

A central theme of the film is the growing darkness and the return of Lord Voldemort, who was believed to be defeated. As Harry progresses through the tournament, he uncovers a sinister plot that leads to the resurrection of Voldemort (played by Ralph Fiennes). The film marks a turning point in the series, as the lighthearted tone of the earlier films gives way to a darker and more serious narrative. Voldemort’s return signals the beginning of a new era of conflict in the wizarding world, setting the stage for the subsequent films in the series.
