Early in ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'', a group of Death Eaters gathers at the [[Quidditch World Cup]], which spreads chaos and fear amongst the wizarding community. Voldemort regains his full strength at the end of ''Goblet of Fire'', and summons his followers to him.<ref name="GoF12">Rowling, J. K. (2000). ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire''.

The Minister for Magic, [[Cornelius Fudge]], deluded himself into believing that Voldemort could not have come back and that it was all a lie cooked up by Dumbledore, who Fudge believed had designs on his political office. The Death Eaters use this tactical advantage throughout ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'' to maintain their secrecy. Because of the Ministry's refusal to remove the [[Magical creatures (Harry Potter)#Dementors|Dementors]] from Azkaban, which Dumbledore advised immediately following Voldemort's return, the Death Eaters recruited the Dementors to their cause and made similar progress with the giants; the Dementors' revolt against the Ministry of Magic also allowed the Death Eaters to bolster their ranks with the mass break-out of several imprisoned Death Eaters, including Bellatrix Lestrange.<ref name="OotP12">Rowling, J.

Towards the end of ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]'', the Death Eaters attack Hogwarts for the first time, leading to the death of Albus Dumbledore and injuries to several of the school's defenders.  A second, more deadly attack near the conclusion of ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'' results in over 50 deaths, including Voldemort, who dies when the Killing Curse he casts at Harry rebounds on him. All the Dark Marks on the remaining Death Eaters have been reduced to scars.<ref name="DH1">Rowling, J. K. (2007). ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows''. Bloomsbury Publishing.
