Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire

Hook:
"Suddenly, the wood all around them erupted with screams. Harry didn't understand why, but the only possible cause was the sudden appearance of the skull, which had now risen high enough to illuminate the entire wood like some grisly neon sign. He scanned the darkness for the person who had conjured the skull, but he couldn't see anyone. 'Who's there?' he called again. 'Harry, come on, move!' Hermione had seized the collar of his jacket and was tugging him backward. 'What's the matter?' Harry said, startled to see her face so white and terrified. 'It's the Dark Mark, Harry!' Hermione moaned, pulling him as hard as she could. 'You-Know-Who's sign!"(page 129)

"But Dumbledore suddenly stopped speaking, and it was apparent to everybody what had distracted him. The fire in the goblet had just turned red again. Sparks were flying out of it. A long flame shot suddenly into the air, and borne upon it was another piece of parchment. Automatically, it seemed, Dumbledore reached out a long hand and seized the parchment. He held it out and stared at the name written upon it. There was a long pause, during which Dumbledore stared at the slip in his hands, and everyone in the room stared at Dumbledore. And then Dumbledore cleared his throat and read out- 'Harry Potter." (page 271)

"The thin man stepped out of the cauldron, staring at Harry... and Harry stared back into the face that had haunted his nightmares for three years. Whiter than a skull, with wide, livid scarlet eyes and a nose that was flat as a snake's with slits for nostrils... Lord Voldemort had risen again." (page 645)

Recommendation:
Has anyone ever accused you of doing something you never did? Well, Harry has this problem. The Triwizard Tournament is coming near and the three champions have been selected... well, okay four, including Harry. Everyone is thinking Harry found a way to sneak his name into the Goblet of Fire under Dumbledore's nose. Harry thinks someone put his name in, so he got hurt. When Harry lands himself in a graveyard, he witnesses something worse then murder... The rise of Lord Voldemort. Can Harry escape with his life? Will Voldemort finally have what he's waited all these years for? Read this book and find out!
