Chapter 20

In this chapter, Harry Potter is unexpectedly selected as a fourth champion for the Triwizard Tournament, despite not entering his name, causing shock and controversy among students and staff. The other champions and representatives from the competing schools express disbelief and suspicion, leading to tense discussions about the rules and the possibility of foul play. The chapter ends with the suggestion that someone deliberately manipulated the Goblet of Fire to force Harry's participation.
