Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the Quidditch World Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for hundreds of years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal; he's different - even by wizarding standards. And in this case, different can be deadly.

But it seems that Master Morogh's true talent is stealing the gifts of others. When he steals Mattie's brother's vanishing ability, the family must decide whether to run, leaving Bell's gift behind to save the rest of them, or risk exposure by trying to beat the duplicitous ringmaster at his own game?"--.
