Which Harry Potter novel won the 2001 Hugo Award for Best Novel?

The story behind the answer

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire won the 2001 Hugo Award for Best Novel.

The fourth Harry Potter book was published in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2000 and in the United States on 8 July 2000. It expands the series beyond ordinary Hogwarts school life through the Triwizard Tournament, an international magical competition involving three schools.

The Hugo Awards recognize outstanding science fiction and fantasy works. Goblet of Fire was the only Harry Potter novel to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel, making the 2001 result a distinctive milestone in Rowling’s award history.

The book is sometimes confused with the third novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which won other major honors. Goblet of Fire is also the story in which Voldemort returns to a physical body.
