How does the Harry Potter Goblet of Fire start in movie?

The movie *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire* starts with a dramatic shot of the Hogwarts Express pulling into Hogsmeade station.

The first scene we see is Harry, Ron, and Hermione arriving at the station and running into Cedric Diggory, a handsome and popular student from Hufflepuff.

The scene then shifts to a grand ball at Hogwarts, where Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge announces the Triwizard Tournament, a dangerous competition between three magical schools.

The movie quickly establishes the rising tension and excitement surrounding the tournament, and the scene with the Goblet of Fire itself happens very early in the film. It is during this ball that the Goblet of Fire, a magical artifact that chooses the champions for the tournament, is revealed.

The Goblet, a large, ornate silver cup, is set up in the Great Hall, and each of the participating schools places their names in it for consideration.

However, the scene takes a shocking turn when the Goblet, in a surprise twist, pulls out Harry's name as the fourth champion. This sparks immediate controversy, as Harry is underage and shouldn't have been entered.

The scene ends with Harry looking stunned and confused, with a sense of dread settling over him and everyone around him.
