This is for all of you out there who have questions about Goblet of Fire book.

Anyone can post a question...anyone can answer a question.

I'll start with a question that I have had on my mind a long time:
If the first task was to obtain the golden egg from the dragon...couldn't the champions simply have used Accio and made it a lot easier than being attacked??

I mean...maybe the egg had been bewitched to block any summoning charms, but it just seemed like an easy victory to me.

I have a question about something I stumbled across while re-reading GOF.
on page 697 in us version.....Dumbledore tells Sirius that when brother wands meet they will not work properly against each other. If this should be the case everytime harry and voldemort meet....how can either finish off the other .....except for first destroying the other's wand?.....anyone have any thoughts? I have never seen this question brought up before.

There wand only did that because they sent a spell at each other at the same time! they havent done that since

I think the egg would probably have had a spell to block summoning charms or something. Could be the dragon's own presence blocked it, because dragon's are pretty hard to enchant, so maybe it extends to things near the dragon...or maybe none of them thought of it. If you remember, krum didn't fly and you would think he would.

I think blast-ended skrewts looks like giant grey headless scorpions. Of course, in the game not everything stays the same. In the Xbox game they look like boulders. Probably the level of detail would have stuffed up the game too much.

Heh I was wondering the same thing when I was watching GoF the other day. I don't know why they didn't use it and we may never know.

Yes, it is if they are used at the same time... But I seriously think for their final battle that they would have to do something other than dueling to finish each other off.

The only reason that the wands didn't work against eachother was because they both sent off spells and they met eachother in midair, and the wands connected. If and when Harry fights Voldy, it will only happen again if the spells meet it midair, again. Other than that, they can still cast spells on eachother, because if you will notice in the book Voldy uses the Cruciatus Curse and the Imperius curse against Harry without the wands connecting. (Chapter 34, Priori Incantatem, pg. 660 and 661) =^) Thats my say about anyways.

my question is
the rules when harry sed to mad eye were not aloud a broom but in the first round he was flying so was he aloud to conjuire the broom up or was he aloud to hav it from the start?

No, of course he wasn't allowed to have his broom from the start! He summoned it using Accio... remember??

And about the question on just Summoning the egg instead of getting attacked by the dragon... the dragons were sitting on their eggs at the start of the task, so Harry and the other champions had to get their dragons to move off the eggs before being able to get at them. I suppose after they had done that, they could use Accio or go and pick the egg up manually.

They could use somebody else's wand. It is possible, just not advised. After all, Peter killed Cedric with Voldemort's wand.

well i got a question.. harry was like always with mad-eye, why havent mad-eye (barty jr.) did something to harry while other people were busy? i mean mad-eye was totally unsuspectible. i mean who could've suspected mad-eye "ex-auror" as barty jr.?

Task 2 versus Grindylows

The clue tells Harry that all the victims are in danger, so he tries to rescue everybody. Krum and Cecil know that it is just a game, Dumbledore doesn't murder innocents and just take their prizes.

Harry was raised by the Durnsleys and doesn't know lots of stuff.

But Fleur believed it was for real. Also Harry and Fleur had to rescue people they cared about. Krum and Cecil had to rescue people they met at the dance.

Ok, well, I have a question, when Dumbledore said that as soon as Mad Eye took harry from his sight, he knew that he was an imposter. Does that mean that Dumbledore had suspicions the whole year? And what if a different teacher had taken Harry away, perhaps to the hospital wing? Would Dumbledore think that........i dunno....Proffessor McGonagal was the traitor???

no cause remember when he said he had known mad-eye for a long time? he's knows mad eye would never do something like that and maybe professor mcGonagal would or something like that but Dumbledore knew mad-eye too well and knows what he does in situations like that.

Because that would've blown his cover if harry got hurt and it wouldnt give voldemort the chance to finish off harry which was the whole plan

I too agree that the egg is bewitched, so summoning charms won't effect it, and as for the skrewts, I have always imagined them as scorpions.

If anyone had used ACCIO on the egg, it would have arrived just about the same time as the dragon. Since they had no means of escape, there would have been a fatal ending.

I agree with all of you about both the wands and the eggs. I didn't really think about it before this but I do think that th Egg had charms blocking it from being Accio'd. The Person had to actually touch it.

I think the egg would have had an anti-summoning charm on it. The meant to be diffincult, so they wouldnt have made it that easy.
