We’re officially stepping into Goblet of Fire, and the story wastes no time reminding us that the world is already moving — whether Harry knows it or not.

In this opening episode, we cover the first three chapters: “The Riddle House,” “The Scar,” and “The Invitation.” These chapters may be short, but they carry enormous weight. We begin far from Privet Drive, at a forgotten house steeped in rumor, guilt, and unfinished evil — where Lord Voldemort is no longer a myth, but a planner quietly arranging his return.

From Frank Bryce’s tragic role as a scapegoat, to Voldemort’s calculated patience, to the moment Harry wakes with his scar burning hundreds of miles away, Goblet of Fire makes one thing clear: the danger has already begun.

Back at Privet Drive, we reconnect with Harry’s inner world — his isolation, his growing support system, and the quiet strength he’s gained. And finally, “The Invitation” brings humor, warmth, and relief as Harry secures his escape to the Weasleys and his first glimpse of the Quidditch World Cup.

Together, these chapters set the board for everything to come — love before loss, safety before escalation, and a Dark Lord who is no longer hiding.

Welcome to Goblet of Fire.The game is about to begin.
