In the fourth
instalment of J K Rowling's phenomenally successful Harry Potter series,
"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", our
eponymous hero can't wait for the start of school. It is his fourth year at
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and there are spells to be learnt
and Divination lessons (sigh) to be attended (and yes, Harry does start to
notice girls). But when Harry's name is pulled from the Goblet of Fire, and he
is chosen to champion Hogwarts in the Triwizard tournament, an ancient,
ritualistic tournament that brings Hogwarts together with two other schools of
wizardry - Durmstrang and Beauxbatons - in heated competition, then the trouble
really begins. Still reeling from the effects of a terrifying nightmare that
has left him shaken, and with the lightning-shaped scar on his head throbbing
with pain, Harry becomes at once the most popular boy in school. Yet, despite
his fame, he is totally unprepared for the furore that follows.. |
