harry potter and the goblet of fire by j.k. rowling chapter one the riddle house the villagers of little hangleton still called it “the riddle house,” even though it had been many years since the riddle family had lived there. it stood on a hill overlooking the village, some of its windows boarded, tiles missing from its roof, and ivy spreading unchecked over its face. once a fine-looking manor, and easily the largest and grandest building for miles around, the riddle house was now damp, derelict, and unoccupied. the little hagletons all agreed that the old house was “creepy.” half a century ago, something strange and horrible had happened there, something that the older inhabitants of the village still liked to discuss when topics for gossip were scarce. the story had been picked over so many times, and had been embroidered in so many places, that nobody was quite sure …

in the village had seen any such boy, and the police were quite sure frank had invented him. then, just when things were looking very serious for frank, the report on the riddles’ bodies came back and changed everything. the police had never read an odder report. a team of doctors had examined the bodies and had concluded that none of the riddles had been poisoned, stabbed, shot, strangles, suffocated, or (as far as they could tell) harmed at all. in fact (the report continued, in a tone of unmistakable bewilderment), the riddles all appeared to be in perfect health — apart from the fact that they were all dead. the doctors did note (as though determined to find something wrong with the bodies) that each of the riddles had a look of terror upon his or her face — but as the frustrated police said, whoever heard of three …
