 Amazon.com: movie info: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter 4)
The first film in the series to receive a PG-13 rating (instead of a PG), "Goblet of Fire" is definitely scarier than the first three (which were already scary to some extent), but it is also the best "Harry Potter" movie so far.
This is the 4th item in The Harry Potter Feature Films Series.
The Goblet of Fire was the first book I read from the Harry Potter series and it was the one that sparked my interest in reading the rest of the books.

If you've read the Harry Potter series then you know that by the time we reach this book that the very illusion that this series was meant for kids flies right out the window.
