Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a fantasy film directed by Mike Newell, based on the novel by J.K. Rowling. Released on 18 November 2005, it is the fourth installment in the Harry Potter film series. The film stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, with Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, respectively.
The story follows Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he is unexpectedly chosen to participate in the dangerous Triwizard Tournament. This tournament pits three wizarding schools against each other, and Harry becomes embroiled in dark conflicts that escalate throughout the film.
Filming began in early 2004, and the movie quickly became a commercial success, grossing nearly $897 million worldwide. It was notably the highest-grossing film of 2005 and is praised for its engaging storyline and impressive visual effects.
Throughout the film, Harry experiences nightmares and strange occurrences, hinting at a dark force's return. The Quidditch World Cup introduces audiences to new characters and builds tension as Death Eaters attack, which leads to the announcement of the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts.
The tournament features three challenges. In the first task, Harry must retrieve a golden egg from a dragon. This intense confrontation allows Harry to showcase his bravery and quick thinking. In the second task, each champion must rescue someone crucial to them from the depths of the Black Lake, leading to heroic moments and unexpected alliances. The final task takes place in a magical maze filled with dangers that ultimately lead Harry to face Lord Voldemort.
Voldemort's return marks a significant shift in the series, introducing darker themes as Harry confronts the reality of his nemesis. The film is well-received, with critics praising its tonal maturity and character development, particularly highlighting how the young actors have embraced their roles as they grow up.

The film was nominated for several awards, including an Academy Award for Best Art Direction, and won a BAFTA for Best Production Design. Its blend of humor, action, and the coming-of-age story resonated with both fans of the books and newcomers alike.
In summary, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire successfully adapts Rowling's novel into a thrilling cinematic experience, marking a pivotal moment in the Harry Potter saga as the characters face even greater challenges and darkness.
