Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a 2005 fantasy film directed by Mike Newell and distributed
by Warner Bros. Pictures, based on J. K. Rowling's 2000 novel of the same name. Produced
by David Heyman and written by Steve Kloves, it is the sequel to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of
Azkaban (2004) and the fourth instalment in the Harry Potter film series. The film stars Daniel
Radcliffe as Harry Potter, with Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, and Emma Watson as Hermione
Granger. Its story follows Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts as he is chosen by the Goblet of Fire to
compete in the Triwizard Tournament.
Filming began in early 2004. The Hogwarts scenes were shot at the Leavesden Film Studios. Five
days after its release, the film had grossed over US$102 million at the North American box office,
which is the third-highest first-weekend tally for a Harry Potter film behind Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows – Part 1 and Part 2. Goblet of Fire enjoyed an immensely successful run at the box
office, earning $896 million worldwide, which made it the highest-grossing film of 2005 and the sixth-
highest-grossing film in the Harry Potter series.
The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Art Direction, and won the BAFTA Award for
Best Production Design. Goblet of Fire was the second film in the series to be released in IMAX. The
film is one of the best-reviewed instalments within the series, being praised for the higher level of
maturity and sophistication of its characters, plotline, tone, screenplay, and the performances of the
lead actors. It was followed by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 2007.
