Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
The summer holidays seem never-ending and Harry Potter can’t wait for the start of the school term. He wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho CHang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal - even by wizarding standards.
And in his case, different can be deadly.

Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy. He lives with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and his cousin Dudley, who make him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. Then Harry starts receiving mysterious letters and his life is changed forever. He is whisked away by a giant and enrolled in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The reason: Harry Potter is a wizard!
At Hogwarts, Harry receives training in magic, masters riding a broomstick, and discovers his incredible talent for the wizard sport of Quidditch. And for the first time in his life, Harry has friends who care about him: his fellow students Hermione and Ron and a giant named Hagrid. But all is not rosy when Harry discovers his true destiny and finds he must face the evil one who killed his parents. His survival will depend upon the help of his newfound friends, as well as his own wit and powers.
