Each student will need a copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

This book is definitely darker than the last three books in the series. The book starts out with being introduced to a house where Peter is staying with a broken Voldemort. They kill a muggle who was the caretaker of the house. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ron's family end the summer with the Quidditch World cup. It should be a joyous event but it turns into a nightmare as Death Eaters attack and they send the Dark Mark (Voldemort's sign) up into the sky. Back at school the students are excited about the Triwizard Tournament, a competition between three wizard schools. Someone tricks the Goblet of Fire into accepting Harry into the tournament even though he is too young. Harry has to quickly figure out how he is going to live through the different events. He has to fight a dragon, stay under water for an hour, and work through a maze. At the end of the maze Harry and another champion were transported to a graveyard where they find Peter and Voldemort. The other champain was killed and Voldemort uses a potion to rebuild his body. Harry has to fight Voldemort and he sees a memory of his parents that helps him. Harry gets away and is able to take the champains body back to Hogwarts. Everyone mourns their death and Harry learns who the deceiver has been all year. 
At the end of the book Dumbledore is calling the international wizarding community to stand together against the dark side. A large-scale battle is sure to come.
The students are starting to have crushes on each other and they have to find dates to a Christmas ball.
