The mysterious Goblet of Fire.
Something new is set to happen
During the school year.
It’s going to be a big event,
With competitors and cheer.

The mystical Goblet Of Fire
Is used for name selection.
Only students of the right age
Are eligible for selection.

A piece of paper with your name
Is placed into the cup,
A name that will be spit out
If it’s on the up and up.

Harry Potter’s name is called,
An impossibility, they say,
For as every teacher knows,
Harry is underage.

Ron lies in bed listening to Harry.
The Triwizard Tournament
Commences soon thereafter.
The participants are given challenges
That suck away their laughter.

Three schools participate,
All Eurocentric.
In addition to Harry Potter,
His school selects Cedric.

Cedric’s a good-natured lad
Who welcomes Harry in.
Though they must solve their tasks alone,
He treats him much like kin.

There’s a plot twist later on
That changes the mood quite a bit,
But throughout most of this movie,
There’s a current of excitement.

It’s fun to watch this tournament,
And to see the contestants use their smarts
To solve a multitude of problems,
So they don’t get torn apart.

It’s another good instalment
In the Harry Potter arc.
It’s getting a five out of six
For keeping the series’ spark.
Harry is tired trying to juggle the tournament with his studies.
