„Wir haben drei Aufgaben über das ganze Schuljahr verteilt, die das Können der Champions auf unterschiedliche Weise auf die Probe stellen … ihr magisches Können – ihre Kühnheit – ihre Fähigkeit zum logischen Denken – und natürlich ihre Gewandtheit im Umgang mit Gefahren.“ Hogwarts richtet das Trimagische Turnier aus: einen Wettkampf der drei größten Zauberschulen. Bewerben dürfen sich nur Hexen und Zauberer über siebzehn – was den vierzehnjährigen Harry Potter nicht davon abhält, von der Teilnahme und einem Sieg zu träumen.

„Es gibt eine Verschwörung, Harry Potter. Eine Verschwörung mit dem Ziel, dieses Jahr in der Hogwarts-Schule für Hexerei und Zauberei die schrecklichsten Dinge geschehen zu lassen.“ Harry Potters Sommer hat es in sich: der schlimmste Geburtstag seines Lebens, düstere Prophezeiungen eines Hauselfs namens Dobby und eine waghalsige Rettung in einem fliegenden Auto mit Freund Ron Weasley am Steuer! Zurück an der Schule für Hexerei und Zauberei wird Harry von einem merkwürdigen Flüstern verfolgt, kurz bevor Schüler wie zu Stein erstarrt aufgefunden werden.

„Dort schwebte er, am Himmel über der Schule: der leuchtende grüne Totenkopf mit der Schlangenzunge, das Zeichen, das die Todesser hinterließen, wann immer sie in ein Gebäude eingedrungen waren … wo immer sie gemordet hatten …“ Dumbledore taucht eines Sommerabends im Ligusterweg auf: seine Zauberstab-Hand geschwärzt und verkümmert. Eine Erklärung dafür bleibt er Harry Potter aber schuldig. Doch der Schulleiter macht keinen Hehl daraus, was Misstrauen und Gerüchte längst verraten: Auch Hogwarts ist kein sicherer Ort mehr.
