It was third-person narration. The story follows Harry Potter’s perspective. It is a reliable source of information, but it doesn’t narrate what happens to the things that aren’t seen in Harry’s point of view. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire took place in 1994 during Harry’s fourth year at Hogwarts. Most of the story takes place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, located in Scotland, Great Britain. Near the end of the book, the setting changes to a graveyard in Little Hangleton. This setting influenced the plot because Hogwarts was the location the Triwizard Tournament took place at between the three schools. The graveyard was essential to the return of Lord Voldemort, because without this location, Voldemort would not have been revived. There are several themes in this book, including friendship and betrayal. Friendship is tested when Ron, Harrys best friend, becomes jealous after being chosen as a Triwizard champion. However, Harry and his friends, Ron and Hermione, are willing to help him prepare for the tasks of the Triwizard Tournament. Betrayal is also shown at the end of the book, when one of Harry’s teachers, Mad-Eye Moody, turns out to be a Death Eater, or one of Voldemort’s followers. Mad-Eye Moody was disguised as a notorious Death Eater, Barty Crouch Jr., who led Harry to Voldemort by helping him during the tournament. He was trusted by Harry, but tried to kill him at the
The book states that there were that Each major faculty member – Professors Sprout, Flitwick, McGonagall, Quirrell, and Snape – has offered a protection to the Philosopher's Stone in regard to their subject. Sprout's challenge is Devil's Snare. Flitwick enlarged hundreds of keys and charmed them so that they would fly around the room; only one fit the door to the next room and to capture it one would have to fly on a broom. McGonagall made a life-size Wizard's Chess game. Quirrell offers a troll to guard the next room. Snape made a logic riddle that incorporates seven potions, three of which are poison, two of which are nettle wine, one of which returns the drinker to the previous room, and the last of which advances the drinker to the next and final room. However, the movie, for length reasons, does not include Quirrell’s troll and Snape’s poison. Both the novel and film bring Harry to the climax where Professor Quirrell is found looking into the Mirror of Erised craving the sorcerer’s stone. Quirrell then forces Potter to give the stone to the professor. However, Harry was quick to realize that if he touched the combined Professor Quirrell and Voldemort, his body would turn to ash. While attempting to choke Harry, Harry uses his ability and gets free. In the long run, the climax of both the novel and movie are similar but there are some contrasts that are minor to the
