Harry Potter, after three years of study and training at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, gradually grows into an outstanding wizard. Before the new school year begins, Harry, along with his good friends Ron and Hermione, go to watch the exciting Quidditch World Cup. Unintentionally, they discover the Dark Mark, which has disappeared for thirteen years. A heavy shadow falls upon Harry's heart, but the three teenagers still have their own paradise. However, the thoughts of teenagers are so unpredictable, and the beautiful friendship between the three is so full of ups and downs, like weather shifting from sunny to rainy. Harry longs to share a beautiful story with the beautiful Cho Chang, but this faint hope is dashed by a small disappointment. He wants to be an ordinary fourth-year magic student, but unfortunately, Harry is destined never to be ordinary—even by the standards of the wizarding world. The shadow of the Dark Lord lingers, and the mysterious events filled with hidden dangers gradually push Harry toward Voldemort's clutches. Harry hopes to overcome himself and complete three thrilling and challenging magical tasks in the rare Triwizard Tournament, only to discover that the entire competition is a grand dark magic conspiracy.
