DML Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ - great

"I haven't a clue who put your name in that goblet, Harry, but whoever did is no friend to you. People die in this tournament." - Sirius Black

Why watch this? As the young wizards become teens, things start to get real.

Plot Summary: Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts takes a dangerous turn when he is unexpectedly chosen to compete in the Triwizard Tournament, a perilous competition against students from other wizarding schools. Facing a dragon, a challenge in a lake, and an enchanted maze, Harry must navigate these tasks while suspicions grow around his unexplained entry into the tournament. As the competition progresses, a sinister plot unfolds, leading Harry to confront a dark wizard.

  Dad's Preview: It's great to see nerdy Rupert Grint sporting a lovely red mop hairstyle. In this film the lead characters' personalities shine amid the awkward interactions with the opposite sex as the Tri-Wizard Tournament takes center stage. This marks another change in the series when, for the first time, a central character is actually murdered, and that devious deed was conducted by none other than He Who Must Not Be Named.
