about the movie

Hogwarts is on high alert. The Death Eaters are on the attack, and He Who Must Not Be Named is gaining power. Still, the Triwizard Cup competition must go on, and Hogwarts is hosting the event. Rules say that one student from each of the three participating schools -- Hogwarts, Beauxbaton, and Drumstrang -- will be chosen to compete, but a fourth name is pulled from the Goblet of Fire: Harry's! Suddenly, Harry is thrust face-to-face with dragons, nasty mermaids, and pure evil. If that's not enough to deal with, Ron's not speaking to him, Hermione's obsessed with a lost cause, and Cho, Harry's crush, is crushing on someone else. If Harry has any chance of surviving, he's got to keep focused and get help. But not everyone is who or what they seem to be, and Harry could be headed for a trap.
