Re: HP and the Goblet of Fire movie....Questions and Spoilers

I can appreciate the fact that Harry is just learning this stuff, so everything will seem like something new to him, but it doesn't just stop there. 4 names? Gee, none of us ever saw this before. Let's wait until the end so Rowling's deus ex machina can explain that away for us too.

The books are super tight. Every volume has a clear mystery or two like this running through them, and when Rowling reveals in the end what happened the logic is tight. In fact there have been some bigger mysteries running through the whole series, some of which are revealed in later volumes. Those have been very consistent so far.
In this case, as others have noted, the Tri-Wizard tournament is not mentioned in other books because it has not been held for a long time. rJ reports that Ron says something like "we'll just have to wait 3 more years" but I don't recall that in the book at all.
