"I haven't a clue who put your name in that goblet, Harry, but whoever did is no friend to you. People die in this tournament." - Sirius Black

Why watch this? As the young wizards become teens, things start to get real.

Plot Summary: Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts takes a dangerous turn when he is unexpectedly chosen to compete in the Triwizard Tournament, a perilous competition against students from other wizarding schools. Facing a dragon, a challenge in a lake, and an enchanted maze, Harry must navigate these tasks while suspicions grow around his unexplained entry into the tournament. As the competition progresses, a sinister plot unfolds, leading Harry to confront a dark wizard.

Dad's Preview: It's great to see Rupert Grint sporting a lovely red mop hairstyle. In this film the lead characters' personalities shine amid the awkward interactions with the opposite sex when the Tri-Wizard Tournament takes center stage. This will mark another change in the series when someone is actually murdered, and the deed was definitely directed by He Who Must Not Be Named.
