In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, did you enjoy ...
... a deadly, high-stakes competition driving every challenge?
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
If the Triwizard tasks hooked you—from facing the Hungarian Horntail to navigating that claustrophobic hedge maze—then the arena in The Hunger Games will tap the same adrenaline. You’ll get the same escalating trials, alliances tested under pressure like Harry’s with Cedric, and a razor-edged spectacle where every choice can be fatal. It’s that same white-knuckle, objective-driven momentum—only this time, the “tournament” is rigged by an entire regime.
... piecing together a magical conspiracy through clues, misdirection, and hidden identities?
The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud
If you loved unraveling who put Harry’s name in the Goblet, decoding the golden egg’s clue, and the shock of discovering ‘Mad-Eye’ wasn’t who he seemed, The Screaming Staircase scratches the same itch. A teen-run agency investigates lethal hauntings, following breadcrumb clues and false leads the way Harry, Hermione, and Ron chased Rita Skeeter’s secrets and Barty Crouch Jr.’s trail. The reveals land with that same satisfying click.
... the Ministry-level scheming, media spin, and denialism swirling around Voldemort’s return?
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
If the Ministry’s obfuscations, Fudge’s posturing, and Rita Skeeter’s headlines around the Triwizard year fascinated you, The Goblin Emperor plunges you even deeper into the gears of power. Like watching Percy climb the Ministry ranks or the political fallout after the graveyard, you’ll navigate knife-edge etiquette, sabotage, and backroom deals as Maia learns to survive a court where every smile hides a plot.
... jaw-dropping reversals like the Portkey trap and the true identity of ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody?
The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
If the graveyard Portkey twist and the Barty Crouch Jr. unmasking thrilled you, The Lies of Locke Lamora delivers that same gasp-inducing whiplash—over and over. Schemes fold inside schemes the way the Triwizard plot secretly served Voldemort’s return, and every apparent victory hides a blade. You’ll savor the clockwork reveals as much as you did that last, devastating turn after the Third Task.
... life-or-death academics at a dangerous magical school?
A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik
If you’re drawn to Hogwarts’ mix of classes, cliques, and real danger—from dragons on the Quidditch pitch day to cursed hedges in the maze—A Deadly Education turns the dial up. The Scholomance is all coursework and survival, where alliances matter as much as Hermione’s research prowess and Harry’s quick thinking. It captures that same on-campus peril and camaraderie you felt during the Triwizard year.
