Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire pages 75-156


Chapter 7 begins with Harry and the Weasley's arriving at the Quidditch World Cup. To try to hide themselves, many of the wizards are living in tents. Yet these tents have chimneys and purple fires out front. They used magic to create two extremely large and spacious tents which could house the whole family. Harry explores the area and finds many other wizards that are all supporting their own team. The rest of the family soon apparates in and they all enjoy the time. Fred and George bet all of their money on the game hoping that Ireland will win.

In chapter 8, the quidditch game is starting and Harry notices a house elf named Winky. Malfoy and the head of the Ministry of Magic join the Weasleys in the box office seats. The game beings by each team sending out their mascots which entertain the audience. The game is going wildly fast and Harry is amazed. The game ends with Victor Krum getting the snitch, which ends the game with Ireland still winning. Fred and George win their bets.

In Chapter 9, everyone is very hyped about the game. After a few hours everyone goes to bed. Shortly after Harry, Ron, and Hermione are shaken awake as they see men in black cloaks rampaging against mud bloods. The three friends run to the woods, where they meet Malfoy and Harry finds he does not have his wand. A green mark appears in the sky, then suddenly everyone is screaming. The friends all run away only to be questioned by everyone about what has actually happened. They then find Winky with the wand and assume she has conjured the mark. Mr. Weasley explains that the mark was used as a signal by Voldemort to let everyone know someone had died, and that it was probably just a false alarm.

In Chapter 10, the Weasleys all go home. Mrs. Weasley is happy that everyone is safe after the incident. Mr. Weasley spends the rest of the week at the Ministry of Magic to dispel any false rumors that might have come up, while the rest of the children get their materials to prepare for school. As in every other book, Harry feels sorry for the Weasleys' financial status, since he was blessed by his parents leaving him a massive amount of money.
