**Genre: Teen/Fantasy** Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire fits into the Teen genre became it is set in a school (Hogwarts) and the main characters are young people in this installment particularly as they are teenagers now, they are no longer children as they were in pervious movies. This fourth installment also follows the conventional Teen themes of growing up, shown through both Harry and Ron’s struggle to get a date for the ball, facing conflict with others including friend, such as Harry’s long lasting disagreement with Ron, and finding out where you belong and picking a side. Choosing a side which is also a popular convention with in teen films, this is put to the extreme with instead of Harry having to choose a social group he must choose good over evil. The main audience for the books is teenagers and this has carried on in the movie audiences. Harry Potter 4 also fits inside the fantasy conventions because of the obvious magical element within the series. The magic also is used a plot devise in which adventure and problems in the real world wouldn’t occur. The magic also helps convey themes of teenage genre

Idea 1: Friendship is an important idea within this film and within the entire series. The Harry Potter films show audiences that friendship is needed to get through school but more importantly through life. In this film, audiences also see the effect of individuals when certain friendships breakdown, such as between Ron and Harry in the beginning of the film and Ron and Hermione later on after the Yule ball. Harry also has to choose between his friends in the lake challenge for the tri-wizard tournament in which he struggle with whom to save out of Hermione and Ron. Harry also forms unlikely friendships in strange circumstances such as with Cedric as when they run away from the magical hedge in the third challenge.

The Harry Potter films follow the life of Harry Potter, a boy wizard, and his friends on their journey through Hogwarts. In the fourth installment, Harry is in this fourth year at Hogwarts were the Tri-wizard cup is being held. The tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. One student from each school is chosen to represent their school and compete. When Harry’s name comes out of the Goblet of Fire he is forced to participate in the deadly tournament as the fourth champion. In the contest Harry faces underwater creatures, dragons, and magical mazes. Within this installment Harry finds himself being isolated from his friends, Ron and Hermione, for Ron believes that Harry put his name in the Goblet of Fire and didn’t tell Ron. In the final scenes Lord Voldemort makes a very much awaited return when Harry and fellow Hogwarts student and Tri-wizard champion, Cedric come into a graveyard via a port key disguised as the Tri-wizard cup.

**Idea 2-**

In the Harry Potter series, Good vs. Evil is a reoccurring theme/idea. With the appearance of Voldemort in this installment, Harry must choose good over evil. A contrast is seen between the two characters which each represent one of the two sides in the final battle scenes in the movie. Even characters within Hogwarts are made to seem evil including Snape, Igor Karkaroff, and Lucius Malfoy which are contrated with characters like Dumbledore, Harry, Mad eye Moody (although he turns out to be not the really one but a evil fake), Cedric and Hagrid. In the Harry Potter world, choosing good over evil is not only a hard thing to do but in the long run a very necessary choose, which also ties in with the teen genre.
