Hello everyone, I finally FINISHED the book, 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', which was written by J.K. Rowling, and I read 734 pages out of 734 (YES! FINALLY!).
I think the main climax of this book is when Voldemort returned and dueled with Harry, which caused a strange gold connection of their wands. This part or climax or scene is near the end of the book, and is in the chapters: 'Flesh, Blood, and Bone', 'The Death Eaters', and 'Priori Incantatem'. In the climax, Harry Potter, the most important main character in this book (the protagonist), and Cedric Diggory, another Triwizard Tournament champion and one of the characters in the book, grabbed the the Triwizard Cup because that is the Third Task: finding the Triwizard Cup (Quick explanation of the Triwizard Tournament and the three tasks: the Triwizard Tournament is a friendly tournament between the three famous schools in Europe, which are 'Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry', 'Beauxbatons', and 'Durmstrang'. The the Triwizard Tournament is held every 5 years.). The Triwizard Cup appeared to be a Portkey, which is one of the things used for Magical Transportation. Harry and Cedric gets teleported to an old graveyard in Little Hangleton, near Tom Riddle Sr. (Voldemort's father)'s grave. Wormtail (one of the friends of James Potter, Voldemort's spy, a traitor, an Animagus, and also known as Peter Pettigrew) and Voldemort appeared to be there, and Wormtail killed Cedric following Voldemort's order to kill Cedric:
"Kill the spare."
It turned out that this was all a scheme attempted to return Voldemort and give him a new body made and planned by Voldemort and his present supporters, who were Barty Crouch Jr. and Wormtail. They had to prepare a special potion to bring Voldemort and his body back, and the ingredients of this potion was: Harry's blood ("... Blood of the foe, forcibly taken..."), a bone of Tom Riddle Sr. ("...Bone of the father..."), hot, boiling, enchanted water, and Wormtail's hand ("... Flesh of the servant,willingly given..."). Voldemort and Wormtail needed to bring Harry to the graveyard to break the protection Lily Potter (Harry's mother) gave to Harry, which flowed in Harry's blood. Since Voldemort got and took Harry's blood, he was able to inherit the protection of Lily Potter, and by that, he could touch Harry.
Due to Voldemort's return, the Death Eaters (Voldemort's supporters and Dark wizards) returned to Voldemort. Then Voldemort forced Harry to duel with him (with magic and their wands), and Voldemort and Harry dueled together with spells, Voldemort using the Unforgivable Curses, and Harry simply using Expelliarmus, the Disarming Spell. When Voldemort attempted to kill Harry with Avada Kedavra, the Killing Curse, a strange connection between Harry and Voldemort's wand happened, connected by a thin gold thread which formed a webbed, gold circle around them. Then some ghosts of the victims of Voldemort (all killed by Voldemort) went out of Voldemort's wand and helped Harry escape Voldemort and the Death Eaters to the Quidditch field in Hogwarts.
I thought this was the climax of the story, because this part was when the most important part of the book was, and was the part when all of the secrets and mysteries found or made throughout the book was solved. This was the part when everything in the book was waiting for and was about, and by this part, the readers and Harry learned an important part of information: Harry and Voldemort's wands were connected, and when they try to harm each other fatally, it would cause that strange connection and the webbed, gold circle.
