Chapter Sixteen - The Goblet of Fire
We learn more about the Triwizard Tournament: It consists of three tasks, testing their magical powess and how they cope with unkown danger ahead. The impartial judge that selects the champions are the Goblet of Fire. If you add your name there is no turning back, because it binds a magical contract.
The whole school is interested in who are submitting their names. Fred and George try to get past the age line, but fail; they get thrown out of the sircle and grow beards.
Harry, Ron and Hermione spends the day at Hagrid's and they notice that he is dressing up for someone: Madame Maxime.
The halowe'en feast goes very slow and everyone is waiting for the champions to be chosen. The Goblet of Fire decides thus: Viktor Krum from Durmstrang, a beautiful girl by the name of Fleur Delacour (that Ron has got a crush on) for Beauxbatons and Cedric Diggory a Hufflepuff student for Hogwarts. When everyone thinks the selecting part is over a fourth piece of parchemt fly out of the fire, bearing the name 'Harry Potter'. | |
