If "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" were to sell only five copies instead of -- potentially -- its first print run of 5 million plus, it wouldn't change the fact that we are dealing here with one of the pinnacles of children's literature.
Harry is going to be one of those characters who, like Sherlock Holmes or Tarzan or Oliver Twist, stands for something even in the minds of people who have never read one of his adventures.
This time around, Harry's challenge has to do with the revived tradition of the Triwizard Tournament, an international contest in which delegations from the French and German counterparts to Hogwarts come to visit and a student from each school is picked to compete in a demonstration of wizarding skills for the championship.

 Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
The names of all intending participants would be put into a goblet - known as the Goblet of Fire - which would shoot out one name from each of the three competing wizarding schools (Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang).
Harry is forced to participate, to the outrage of many.
However, because Harry's and Voldemort's wands are formed from the same core - a feather from Dumbledore's pet phoenix Fawkes - a freak phenomenon known as Priori Incantatem occurs, in which Voldemort's wand begins to produce ghostly echoes of its past victims - including Harry's parents.

Harry and his friends are growing up, but this latest Potter film may leave you struggling with your own childhood demons.
Mike Newell's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," the fourth film based on J.K. Rowling's popular but not easily categorized series of novels, may be likely to inspire admiration rather than warm affection, at least while you're watching it.
But somehow, when the goblet spits forth the names of the chosen contestants, Harry's name is among them, inciting rancor and resentment among his classmates, especially Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), who, with Emma Watson's Hermione Granger, is one of his two closest friends.

Of the several strange and thrilling sights in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, a noseless Ralph Fiennes may be the strangest and most thrilling.
The contestants for the Tournament are selected by the magical Goblet of Fire, which spits out Harry's name along with the expected three (Hogwarts' rep is the diligent and dull Cedric [Robert Pattinson]), even though the cutoff age is 17.
While Harry's nakedness in the soapy tub and discomfort alongside flirty Myrtle provide some regular-seeming, almost sitcom-ish comedy, his situation resonates for the rest of the film: holding the precious egg between himself and the much-too-desirous ghosty girl, he's more anxious and perplexed than in any other scene in the film.

 calendarlive.com: MOVIE REVIEW - 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'
'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' Teaser
The presence of Voldemort in the creepy-crawly flesh signals that this is the first Potter movie to have a PG-13 rating for "sequences of fantasy violence and frightening images." Fortunately, "Goblet" is not an R-rated movie trying to pass as something tamer but a genuine PG-13, pleasantly shivery but in no way savage or sadistic.
"Goblet of Fire" was the first Potter novel to weigh in at the whopping 600-page-plus length that has become standard, and though many events have been eliminated, including those always irritating house elves, "Goblet" the film is still longer than it should be at two hours and 34 minutes.

 The Flick Filosopher | Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Oh, man, the finale of Goblet of Fire is absolutely unsettling, in a way that'll have you squirming in your seat.
Which is as things should be: it's in keeping with the darkening tenor of Rowling's novels and with the grim turn the last film, The Prisoner of Azkaban, took.
And there's a lot that's disconnected and disjointed in the muddled middle of Goblet -- this is the Harry book that prompted speculation that it might have to be broken into two films to do it justice, and even with massive chunks excised, Goblet still runs close to three hours.
