The Triwizard Tournament was founded seven centuries ago. Every five years, the three largest magic schools in Europe jointly hold a friendly competition. However, due to too many deaths - listen to what this means, too many people died in the friendly competition - So it was banned.

It was not until this year that the Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports and Sports of the Ministry of Magic made the decision to restart this ancient competitive event.

Dumbledore was very active in promoting the reappearance of the Triwizard Tournament. Most likely, the old man wanted to flex his muscles in front of his peers and let the educators at Beauxbatons and Durmstrang feel what it meant. The world of magic is changing rapidly.

Each and every one of you is still playing traditional magic, but here at Hogwarts, every village has been connected to the Internet and has entered the information age.

However, Hogwarts, the winner of the previous Triwizard Tournament, occupies the top spot. In fact, it is the strongest magic school in Europe and can be said to be a beacon in the world of magic education.

The Triwizard Tournament is also known as the Goblet of Fire. Participants must put a note with their name on it into a flaming wooden goblet. This powerful magical item will select the warrior to represent the school.

The official start of the competition will be postponed until after Halloween, and teachers and students from the other two schools will not come until October. Throughout September, the atmosphere at Hogwarts is quite impetuous, and students are discussing Beauxbatons and Germany. Armstrong, discussing the Triwizard Tournament.

Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is located in the Pyrenees Mountains in southern France. The school's main enrollment areas are western Europe, France, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, etc.

As an educational organization with an upright school spirit, Beauxbatons has a close relationship with Hogwarts, and has always maintained a healthy competition. Sparton 62 times.

Durmstrang College, located in Northern Europe, is relatively unorthodox. It can be regarded as an enlarged version of Slytherin. They do not accept Muggle students and can openly study dark magic. The current headmaster, Igor Karkaroff, served Voldemort as a Death Eater.

It is worth mentioning that the first Dark Lord Grindelwald studied at Durmstrang. This guy is still an undergraduate, because the black magic he studies is too dangerous, even the colleges that can blatantly study black magic can't accommodate him, so he was expelled.

Most students are eager to participate. Obtaining honors and excellent resumes are indirect benefits. The most intuitive benefit is naturally the championship bonus of one thousand galleons.

It is said that Durmstrang’s bonus to the winning student will be higher, but since the inception of the Triwizard Tournament, this school has never won the championship. The high bonus is like a carrot dangling in front of the donkey. motivational effect.

The purchasing power of gold galleons is still very strong. For some young people who are interested in starting a business, this money can be said to be a timely help. Brothers George and Fred were counting on this money.

But they are probably doomed to be disappointed, because Dumbledore announced in public as early as the opening dinner that only those over the age of seventeen can participate.

This sudden supplementary condition is undoubtedly a bucket of cold water, which makes the students very dissatisfied. In the history of the Triwizard Tournament, there has never been an age limit for participating warriors.

The reason given by the old principal was that the competition was dangerous and not suitable for students under sixth or seventh grade.

On the registration day at the end of October, Dumbledore made specific restrictions - he drew a line around the Goblet of Fire, and no student under the age of seventeen could cross the line.

This regulation is naturally full of loopholes, but not many people can actually seize the loopholes and take advantage of them.

Many clever students try to get through. The Weasley brothers tried to confuse the age line by drinking age-increasing potions, but as soon as they crossed the line, they were knocked out by an invisible force field and were given a full white beard as punishment.

The students who were watching were all laughing. The Weasley brothers were not angry at all when they were embarrassed in public. Instead, they laughed. They had a bit of optimism.

In addition, some students wanted to directly throw the note with their name on it into the Goblet of Fire, but they failed. The thrown note turned into fly ash in mid-air.

In fact, the Weasley brothers had already figured out the real solution when they were lying in the school hospital treating their beards - just find someone older than seventeen years old to throw the note.

Anyway, Dumbledore didn't have a rule against signing up for others, so he might as well find someone to throw in the names of all the students in the school. This is also called reasonable use of loopholes in the rules.

But when things came to a close, there were still not many students who dared to sign up. Among the four houses, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are more willing to participate. One of them advocates individual heroism, while the other focuses on collective honor. In comparison, Ravenclaw and Slytherin students were relatively cold.

After Lind's class graduated, Hogwarts is currently recognized as the best student, none other than Cedric Diggory, the sixth-year Hufflepuff. He is both a prefect and the captain of the team. He is good at both academics and sports. He is truly a legendary child from other people's families.

When everyone saw Cedric signing up, they talked about it, and now he was the warrior of Hogwarts.

There were also some voices whispering secretly, thinking that if Harry Potter could compete, he would be no worse than Cedric.

When the Goblet of Fire finally announced the list of contestants, it still shocked everyone, because four brave men were selected for the Triwizard Tournament, and Harry Potter's name was clearly on the list.

On Halloween night, everything in Hogwarts Castle was silent, even the ghosts were silent, and the Goblet of Fire in the foyer still burned with blue and white flames.

A lame figure walked through the side door and walked slowly to the Goblet of Fire.

The firelight illuminated his ugly and terrifying face, which was covered with scars. His eyes were one big and one small, and the big eye was still moving.

This person is this year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor—Mad Eye Moody.

He quietly put a piece of paper with Harry Potter's name on it into the Goblet of Fire, then took out his wand and pointed it at the powerful magical item, muttered something in a low voice, cast the Confusion Charm, and let the Goblet of Fire Harry's name was recognized as a contestant from the fourth school.

Since there is no fourth school, "Harry", as the only applicant from that school, automatically qualified for the competition. This is the only way to ensure that he will qualify.

After doing all this, Mad-Eye Moody quietly left the hall.

Not long after, another figure sneaked into the hall, easily crossed the age line, put the note into the Goblet of Fire, then took out the wand and muttered a confusion spell. The flames illuminated his face, and it was clearly James Potter.

After James left, another beautiful figure flashed into the entrance hall. It was Lily Potter. She did the same thing as the previous two.

As soon as Lily walked away, a big black dog dropped a piece of paper into the Goblet of Fire. It was Sirius' Animagus form.

He returned to his human form, and after using the confusion spell, he transformed into a big black dog and trotted away with satisfaction.

The Goblet of Fire trembled slightly, seeming to have some indigestion...

However, in the middle of the night, another figure came over. Grindelwald gently put the note in. He showed a satisfied smile and also cast a confusion spell on the Goblet of Fire.

After Grindelwald left, before dawn, Harry Potter came to the foyer alone before the students got up. The little wizard looked at the Goblet of Fire and pondered for a moment.

"Why does something feel wrong? This Goblet of Fire seems to be hiccupping."

Without thinking too much, he took out his wand and pointed at the base holding the Goblet of Fire. The floor began to flow, and he moved the Goblet of Fire to the outside of the circle. Then he also added his own name.

"Hmm... It's a bit unsafe." Harry hesitated for a while. Although he was more confident than Cedric, there was no guarantee that the Goblet of Fire would defeat him because of his age, so he also cast a confusion spell on the Goblet of Fire. .

On Halloween, nine notes were spit out from the Goblet of Fire.

Beauxbatons' contestant is Fleur Delacour. Durmstrang is represented by Viktor Krum, Hogwarts is represented by Cedric Diggory, and six Harry Potters.

"It's over." Harry couldn't help but cover his face.
