Which J.K. Rowling novel was adapted into the 2006 film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?

The story behind the answer

The 2006 film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was adapted from J.K. Rowling’s novel of the same title. The novel, the fourth in the original series, was published in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2000.

Its plot centres on the Triwizard Tournament, an international magical competition hosted at Hogwarts. Harry is unexpectedly entered as a fourth champion, despite being under the required age. The tournament brings students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang to Hogwarts and leads to the return of Lord Voldemort in physical form.

Mike Newell directed the film adaptation, which was released in November 2005, rather than 2006 in many markets; the film’s US release was 18 November 2005. The novel and film share the central tournament and graveyard sequence, though the adaptation compresses or omits several subplots.

The title can be confused with the fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The Goblet of Fire is specifically the fourth novel and fourth film.
