Triwizard Tournament

"(The Tournament) was generally agreed to be a most excellent way of establishing ties between young witches and wizards of different nationalities -- until, that is, the death toll mounted so high that the tournament was discontinued." -- Albus Dumbledore ( GF12 )

"Cheating's a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and always has been." -- Barty Crouch Jr. as Alastor Moody ( GF20 )

Triwizard Tournament

The Triwizard Tournament is a famous contest between three schools: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry , Durmstrang Institute , and Beauxbatons Academy of Magic .

It originated some 700 years ago as a friendly competition between the three schools. Each school took turns hosting the Tournament, which took place every five years ( GF12 ). The judges for the Tournament included the heads of the three schools ( GF15 ).

The Triwizard Tournament consists of a series of tasks designed to test the champions in many different ways: their magical prowess, their daring, their powers of deduction, and their ability to cope with danger ( GF12 ). Cheating was also considered a normal, traditional part of the Tournament ( GF20 ).

The 1994-95 Triwizard Tournament

Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore saw the Tournament as an excellent opportunity to reach out in friendship to the other schools. The contest was reinstated during the 1994-1995 school year and held at Hogwarts ( GF12 ).

The Champions from each school were selected by the Goblet of Fire . They were Cedric Diggory from Hogwarts, Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons, Viktor Krum from Durmstrang, and Harry Potter , also from Hogwarts ( GF17 ).

Arrival At Hogwarts

Delegations from the three competing schools arrived at Hogwarts on October 30, 1994. Just after dusk, a huge carriage pulled by a team of flying horses, landed on the Hogwarts lawn, carrying the group from Beauxbatons. A few moments later, a ghostly sailing ship carrying the group from Durmstrang rose from the depths of the Lake and glided to the shore. A feast followed which included foods from the countries represented. At this feast, Dumbledore presented the Goblet of Fire and announced the arrangements for entering the contest ( GF15 ).

The Goblet of Fire

In order to make the selection of champions completely fair, the decision is left up to a very powerful magic artifact, the Goblet of Fire. The Goblet is contained in a ancient wooden chest which is encrusted with jewels. When the casket it tapped three times with a wand, it opens. The Goblet is then removed and set on top of the chest ( GF16 ).

The Goblet of Fire is a large, roughly hewn cup, filled to the brim with dancing blue flames. Dumbledore described the selection process in this way:

“Anybody wishing to submit themselves as champion must write their name and school clearly upon a slip of parchment and drop it into the goblet. Aspiring champions have twenty-four hours in which to put their names forward. Tomorrow night, Halloween, the goblet will return the names of the three it has judged most worthy to represent their schools. The goblet will be placed in the entrance hall tonight, where it will be freely accessible to all those wishing to compete. To ensure that no underage student yields to temptation, I will be drawing an Age Line around the Goblet of Fire once it has been placed in the entrance hall. Nobody under the age of seventeen will be able to cross this line…I wish to impress upon any of you wishing to compete that this tournament is not to be entered into lightly. Once a champion has been selected by the Goblet of Fire, he or she is obliged to see the tournament through to the end. The placing of your name in the goblet constitutes a binding, magical contract. There can be no change of heart once you have become a champion. Please be very sure, therefore, that you are wholeheartedly prepared to play before you drop your name into the goblet.” ( GF16 )

The next evening, the Goblet was taken into the Great Hall after the Hallowe’en Feast. On cue, it disgorged a slip of paper for each chosen champion. To everyone’s shock, the Goblet chose FOUR champions. Barty Crouch Jr. , in disguise as Alastor Moody , had used a Confundus Charm on the Goblet to trick it into accepting a name from another school. Once the names had been chosen, the Goblet’s flames died out and would not reignite until the next Tournament ( GF17 ).

Weighing of the Wands

Before the champions could compete, their wands had to be checked by Mr. Ollivander in a short ceremony. He examined each wand and then cast a simple spell. The opportunity of having all four champions together was used by Rita Skeeter and Bozo, her photographer, to get pictures and interviews ( GF18 ).

First Task – Dragons

In the first task, which was designed to test courage and daring, the Champions each had to try to steal a golden egg from a nesting mother dragon. The first task took place on November 24, 1994 ( GF20 ). The golden egg was the clue for the second task. The champions entered a small tent where Bagman gave them each a chance to pull a model of the dragon they were to face out of a purple bag. Each model dragon (which moved, naturally) had a number around its neck. The number referred to the order in which the task would proceed. Cedric Diggory led things off, drawing the Swedish Short-Snout . He Transfigured a boulder into a Labrador, which diverted the attention of the dragon long enough to let him steal the egg. He was burned in the process. Fleur Delacour attempted to charm her Welsh Green into something of a trance. The dragon wasn’t completely subdued, however, and blasted Fleur with fire, setting her robes alight. Viktor Krum used a Conjunctivitis Curse on his Chinese Fireball , but the beast went into convulsions and damaged her other eggs as Krum was retrieving the golden one and this caused him to lose points. Harry used a Summoning Charm to call his Firebolt to him. Then he flew around the Hungarian Horntail , finally enticing her to take to the air after him. When that happened, he dove for the ground and scooped up the golden egg. Harry’s marks were quite high. Ludo Bagman gave him a 10, Dumbledore and Barty Crouch Sr. a 9, Madame Maxime an 8, and Igor Karkaroff a 4, in an obvious bit of favoritism toward his own champion ( GF20 ).

The Golden Egg

When the golden egg was opened, it emitted a screeching, wailing sound. The egg contained nothing at all. The sound was a song in Mermish , the language of the merpeople . The Champions were required to figure out what the song meant, then find a way to survive underwater in the lake for an hour. Harry took advice from Cedric and “took a bath” with his egg. When he listened to the sound underwater, he could understand the words ( GF25 ).

The Second Task – The Lake

The Second Task

There were stands set up along the lake for the second task, but it is unclear just what the spectators would have been able to see. From everything we can tell, they just stared at the surface of the lake for an hour or so. Perhaps there was some kind of play by play provided by magical observers. The exact details of what happened under the lake were not known to those on the surface, however, since Murcus had to explain to Dumbledore what Harry had done ( GF26 ). .

The Third Task – The Maze

In the third task, which took place on June 24, 1995, the Champions had to enter a maze of hedges which was filled with dangerous obstacles. Some of the dangers in the maze included a Blast-Ended Skrewt , a giant spider , and anti-gravity mist . The Triwizard Cup was located in the center of the maze, protected by a sphinx which posed a riddle. The first Champion to touch the Cup would receive full marks for the task. The order in which the Champions were sent into the maze depended on their relative standings in the Tournament, with the highest-scoring Champions entering first ( GF31 ).

Overview [ edit | edit source ]

The Triwizard Tournament is a recently revived competition pitting three major European wizarding schools against one other, although it is also meant to foster magical cooperation. The schools, listed below, share the responsibility of hosting the tournament, and the heads of the schools sit on the judging panel.

From Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , pg. 187 (US Edition), pg. 165 (UK edition) the exact description of this tournament was:

'A very exciting event, an event that has not been held for over a century ... was first established some seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest European schools of wizardry: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. A champion was selected to represent each school, and the three champions competed in three magical tasks. The schools took it in turn to host the Tournament once every five years, and it was generally agreed to be a most excellent way of establishing ties between young witches and wizards of different nationalities - until, that is, the death toll mounted so high that the Tournament was discontinued.'

Event Details [ edit | edit source ]

The tournament was introduced some 700 years ago. After being banned for many years due to the increasingly dangerous tasks, the Triwizard Tournament has been revived.

As mentioned in the overview, there are three schools participating:

  • Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
  • Beauxbatons Academy of Magic
  • Durmstrang Institute

Judges grade the champions' performance on each task. The Heads of the three participating schools are customarily judges; Hermione reads this in a history book about the Tournament, and that all three school Headmasters were injured in a Tournament task mishap involving a Cockatrice . In the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , the judges were:

  • Ludovic Bagman ( Ministry of Magic , Department of Magical Games and Sports)
  • Bartemius Crouch, Sr. (Ministry of Magic, Department of International Magical Cooperation)
  • Albus Dumbledore (headmaster of Hogwarts)
  • Igor Karkaroff (headmaster of Durmstrang)
  • Olympe Maxime (headmistress of Beauxbatons)

The selection of the champions from each participating school is done through a magical object called the Goblet of Fire . The Goblet is a large, roughly hewn wooden cup, brimming with dancing blue flames. The selection process is described by Dumbledore:

"Anybody wishing to submit themselves as champion must write their name and school clearly upon a slip of parchment and drop it into the goblet. Aspiring champions have twenty-four hours in which to put their names forward. Tomorrow night, Hallowe'en, the goblet will return the names of the three it has judged most worthy to represent their schools. The goblet will be placed in the entrance hall tonight, where it will be freely accessible to all those wishing to compete. To ensure that no underage student yields to temptation, I will be drawing an Age Line around the Goblet of Fire once it has been placed in the entrance hall. Nobody under the age of seventeen will be able to cross this line... I wish to impress upon any of you wishing to compete that this tournament is not to be entered into lightly. Once a champion has been selected by the Goblet of Fire, he or she is obliged to see the tournament through to the end. The placing of your name in the goblet constitutes a binding, magical contract. There can be no change of heart once you have become a champion. Please be very sure, therefore, that you are wholeheartedly prepared to play before you drop your name into the goblet."

The term champion does not mean the winner of the tournament. It instead refers to a contestant; this is an ancient usage, dating back to the days of chivalry. An army, or a king, could choose a champion who would fight for them; that champion would then meet an opposing champion, and the contest would be decided by single combat between the two. In this context, then, the Goblet is selecting the champion who will do battle to protect the school's good name.

Traditionally, there are three champions, as the tournament's name implied. Somehow, a fourth Champion was chosen.

  • Beauxbatons Champion - Fleur Delacour
  • Durmstrang Champion - Viktor Krum
  • Hogwarts Champion - Cedric Diggory ( Hufflepuff )
  • Hogwarts Champion - Harry Potter ( Gryffindor )

It is unknown initially how Harry's name was entered into the Goblet, or how he was selected; Dumbledore asks whether he had put his own name into the Goblet or had an older student do it for him, and Harry stated that he had not. Professor Moody suggests that Harry's name could have been submitted as the sole contender for a non-existent fourth school, but it would take a powerful wizard who could hoodwink the Goblet into believing that there were, in fact, four schools.

Before the tournament begins, the Weighing of the Wands takes place to examine each Champion's wand to ensure that it is in proper working order. The Champions will, of course, be depending on their wands as their sole tool in the Tasks, and so it is necessary to ensure that each is in perfect working order. The Wands Weighing was performed by Mr. Ollivander , expert wand-maker and owner of Ollivander's Fine Wands in Diagon Alley .

  • Cedric Diggory - 12 1/4 inches, ash, pleasantly springy, containing a single hair from the tail of a male unicorn
  • Fleur Delacour - 9 1/2 inches, inflexible, rosewood, containing a hair from the head of a veela (her grandmother)
  • Harry Potter - 11 inches, holly, containing a feather from the tail of a phoenix
  • Viktor Krum - Gregorovitch creation. 10 1/4 inches, hornbeam and dragon heartstring, quite rigid

The Tournament has three Tasks. The First Task takes place on 24 November. The Second Task is on 24 February, and the Third Task on 24 June. Additionally, the Triwizard Champions are expected to lead off the Yule Ball , which Harry, who had never danced before, considered a fourth and unexpected task.

Notable Consequences [ edit | edit source ]

It is uncertain exactly why this happens, but having been forced into the Tournament, Harry determines that he must not only compete, but attempt to win, against wizards significantly his senior. Harry's attempt to win the Tournament becomes the driving force for almost all of the book.

Harry's being entered into the Tournament is part of the reason that Sirius returns to England. This also proves a concern for Harry, as he believes himself responsible for Sirius' decision, and his putting himself at risk. This does not stop Harry periodically asking Sirius for help with the Tasks, help which Sirius is largely unable to provide.

Harry becoming a Champion is totally unexpected; initially at least, nobody is sure how this is done. Harry's championship leads to a certain amount of friction between the Heads of the three schools involved; Madame Maxime and Igor Karkaroff both seem to believe that it was done deliberately, and that Albus Dumbledore had some hand in it. At the very least, they suspect him of having failed to draw the Age Line correctly, as that should have prevented Harry, who was then underage, from putting his name in. Moody is the only one who seems to have recognized that the Goblet would have had to be bewitched to issue a fourth name.

Initially, only two people, possibly four, at Hogwarts believe that Harry did not put his own name into the Goblet. Hermione , the morning following the selection of the Champions, brings Harry toast and offers to walk around the lake with him, understanding that he does not want to brave either the Great Hall or the Common Room. While they are walking around the lake, Hermione says that she could tell by the look on Harry's face when his name was announced that he had not put his own name in the Goblet. Hagrid also says that the look on Harry's face showed that it was a total surprise to him that he was picked. Professor Dumbledore may believe that Harry had no intention of entering; his questions as to whether Harry had someone else put his name into the Goblet seem "pro forma", more to satisfy any question the other Judges might have. And Professor Moody seems to accept Harry's story immediately, but the others there present discount Moody because of his well-known paranoia. Professor McGonagall seems to be reserving judgement. Among those who don't believe Harry's innocence are Professor Snape and, most troubling to Harry, Ron . Harry is discouraged by the discovery that Ron can believe Harry is lying to him. This, coupled with a campaign of disparagement headed by Draco Malfoy , will make Harry's life miserable for a large part of the book.

The attention outside Hogwarts caused by his selection as Champion is also unwelcome to Harry. Not only does he have to deal with members of Hufflepuff house who feel he is acting to steal some of their glory, and with those in other houses and amongst the teachers who feel that he is trying to seek out yet more fame for himself, he has attracted the attention of Rita Skeeter , who seems to delight in writing scurrilous pieces about anyone who will sit still for her, and many who won't. Over the course of the story, Rita will write a horrible story about Harry, another about Hagrid , and a third about Hermione . All three stories, appearing either in the Daily Prophet or Witch Weekly , will have serious ill-effects on their subjects and their relationship with others.

Analysis [ edit | edit source ]

An interesting note is that cheating, while not officially condoned, is widely considered a traditional part of the tournament.

The reader should pay particular attention to Bartemius Crouch in the first meeting with the four Champions. We note that by the interpretation of the rules that Mr. Crouch provides, anyone could be entered into the Tournament against their will. It will be instructive to compare Mr. Crouch's interpretation with Dumbledore's speech of the night before.

We should note that the Wand Weighing Ceremony does not actually involve determining how much each wand weighs. The term likely was chosen for its assonance, coupled with a more arcane use of the word. A dictionary definition of the word "weigh" includes the definition: "to evaluate in the mind; consider carefully in order to reach an opinion, decision, or choice: to weigh the facts; to weigh a proposal ." [1]

Although the Tournament is a competition, it was also revived to help foster international magical cooperation. The three schools, Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang, are culturally and academically unique, and they have little interaction with one another in the usual course of affairs. Whether the tentative bonds that have been established are a strong enough alliance to unite them in the fight against Voldemort remains to be seen, although individual friendships, and a few romances, have been formed.

As mentioned, Harry does accept that he must compete in the Tournament. We note that it is never explained why Harry decides that, more than simply entering the Tournament, he must try to win against wizards senior to him. It is well worth studying how the author limns the personalities of the three other Champions, and has their characters play off Harry's to build the determination in him to show them what he is made of. This is particularly of interest because it is never mentioned, but is simply absorbed by the reader, until by the time of the First Task, the reader simply accepts that Harry is going to do his level best to win, because he has no other choice.

Questions [ edit | edit source ]

Study questions are meant to be left for each student to answer; please don't answer them here.

  • Why was the Triwizard Tournament revived after so many years? Why was it discontinued in the first place?
  • What is the Tournament's purpose?
  • Why was Harry chosen as a Champion, even though he was ineligible to enter? How was this accomplished?

Notes [ edit | edit source ]

  • ↑ http://www.dictionary.com, 3 June 2007, definition 5

Greater Picture [ edit | edit source ]

The Weighing of Wands, which seems to be a minor event in the Triwizard Tournament, actually gives Harry a clue in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : he has a vision of Voldemort searching for something, and he has been uttering Gregorovitch's name. At Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour 's wedding he is reminded by Viktor Krum, another wedding guest, that Gregorovitch is a wand maker, a fact that had come out at the Weighing. From this he deduces, incorrectly as it turns out, that Voldemort might wish to have another wand commissioned. His later determination that Voldemort wants a specific wand that Gregorovitch knew about is, however, accurate.

As mentioned, Harry's being selected as a Champion causes an estrangement between Harry and Ron. This will continue until the end of the First Task, when Ron will discover the magnitude of the tasks that Harry is facing, and will conclude that Harry did not want to enter the Tournament and risk his life. At the same time, the campaign of belittlement that Draco had started will taper off, though we will never be sure whether it is because of the exceptionally fine showing by Harry in the First Task, or whether Cedric Diggory has requested that his followers stop harassing Harry.

Bill and Fleur's wedding is another consequence of the Tournament: they meet when Bill and his mother visit Harry before the Third Task, and that leads to a romance that ends in the wedding.

Another notable consequence is that Cedric Diggory is murdered during the third task. Voldemort is brought back to full life; it becomes apparent that the course of the Tournament has been subverted to bring Harry to Little Hangleton so that his blood can be used in the potion that restored Voldemort. Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge , believing that releasing this news will result in his own downfall, dismisses this news. This becomes the official Ministry platform, and we are told later that the Ministry has stated that Cedric accidentally died due to carelessness. This in turn will set up a large part of the next book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , as the Ministry paints Harry and Dumbledore as untrustworthy, in order to devalue any information they might release.

Interestingly, perhaps, it is through the Ministry that the Tournament has been subverted. We will learn that Bartemius Crouch had been placed under the Imperius Curse and was acting in Voldemort's interests in the early part of the year. This explains his unwell appearance in the Hallowe'en meeting with the Champions, and explains also his interpretation of the rule book that seems designed to force Harry to enter the Tournament against his will. Barty Crouch, Jr. had been brought into Hogwarts to monitor the situation, quite possibly was the agent who hoodwinked the Goblet, and ends up murdering his own father and concealing the body.

While this does not come out until the end of the book, Harry's becoming a Champion will be seen as a godsend by Ludo Bagman. Ludo, being on the wrong end of a number of bets he had made on the Quidditch World Cup match , will bet on Harry to win the tournament with his creditors, mostly Goblins . We will see Ludo clumsily offering to help Harry with the Tasks, help which Harry will refuse, and we will see that Ludo consistently gives Harry full points at the completion of a Task. However, as Harry and Cedric touch the Cup at the same instant, the Goblins will claim that Harry and Cedric tied for the win, and Ludo will decamp as he does not have funds to pay his new debts either.

Harry will be deemed to have won the Tournament, in the end, but as it resulted in the death of Cedric, Harry will not want the prize money. He will instead give it to the Twins , who will use it to fund their magical joke shop . Products of the joke shop will be useful to Harry in the fifth, sixth, and seventh books.

Harry Potter: The Triwizard Tournament, Explained

The Triwizard Tournament is one of the most exciting events in all of Harry Potter, and now, its history is explained

One of the most exciting events in the Harry Potter series is the Triwizard Tournament. It’s a way to test the skill and determination of young wizards through some of the toughest challenges they’ll ever face. While there haven’t been too many Triwizard Tournaments mentioned by name across the Harry Potter series, it is clear that the tournament has a deep history.

The deep history also happens to be rather bloody, as it is widely known that the three-school Triwizard Tournament is one of the most dangerous challenges that a young witch or wizard can undertake. Harry Potter fans may know the basics of the tournament, but there is so much more to understand.

The History Of The Triwizard Tournament

Harry Potter Triwizard Tournament Champions with Rita Skeeter

The Triwizard Tournament is a roughly seven-hundred-year-old tradition in which the three major wizarding schools of Europe , Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang, come together in order to compete in a variety of dangerous wizarding challenges. While the tournaments were held every five years, the school that hosted the tournament would shift with each tournament.

The issue with the tournament is that it was too dangerous. The danger involved claimed the lives of a number of witches and wizards over the years, eventually resulting in the entire thing getting scrapped around the late 1700s. While not all of the event’s history is known, it is known that Hogwarts and Beauxbatons were the schools that dominated the tournament with more than sixty wins each.

The Triwizard Tournament would remain dormant for roughly two-hundred years before it would finally return. The tournament in question was the one that Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory would compete in , proving that the dangerous tournament was still as dangerous and blood-filled as the previous iterations.

What Are The Rules Of The Triwizard Tournament?

While it may not seem like there are all that many rules for the Triwizard Tournament at a glance, that couldn’t be further from the truth, specifically for the qualifications to participate. For starters, only a single champion could be chosen from each school in order to participate, a rule that was broken during Harry Potter’s time at Hogwarts. Additionally, a rule was put in place during that same tournament that ensured no witch or wizard under the age of seventeen could put their name forth in the goblet to be a champion, something that also didn’t end up working out.

Each tournament would feature three main tasks that would be judged by the leaders of the three schools, and those tasks would test a variety of things, most importantly magical prowess and wit. Completion of the task is not necessarily key to surviving in the tournament, both literally and figuratively, but it does seriously impact the standing of the competitor. An example of this would be Fleur Delacour’s failure of the second task in her tournament, something that didn’t disqualify her, but instead left her in last place amongst the chosen champions.

How Does A Wizard Win The Triwizard Tournament?

While the wizards did receive a score for their performance in their tasks, that’s not how the Triwizard Champion was determined, at least in the tournaments that are known. During Harry Potter’s tournament, the point system was used to determine the entrance order into the final task, a hedge maze at the center of which lay the Triwizard Cup, the object which must be claimed in order to become the Triwizard Tournament winner.

It is possible that there was a time in which a points system did determine the winner of the Triwizard Tournament, but without an in-depth history of the event from the official materials, that is impossible to know. Regardless, it is clear that only a witch or wizard that is incredibly intelligent, brave enough to face death, and skilled enough to both think of and use complex magic would be capable of becoming Triwizard Champion.

Harry Potter’s Triwizard Tournament

Harry Potter Triwizard Tournament Harry running through maze

Thanks to Harry Potter competing in the tournament, a great deal is known about that particular Triwizard Tournament. There were supposed to only be three champions with them being Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons, Viktor Krum of Durmstrang, and Cedric Diggory of Hogwarts. Still, Harry Potter’s name ended up being drawn as well thanks to some evil interference. The four champions were then prepared to undertake three dangerous tasks with Albus Dumbledore , Olympe Maxime, and Igor Karkaroff serving as the judges.

The first task was to claim an egg that a dragon was guarding. The witches and wizards were able to utilize whatever means they wanted in order to claim the egg, but they were also aware that one wrong decision would likely amount to a brutal end. Every champion would be successful in this task, with Harry Potter and Viktor Krum tying for first place. Krum would use a conjunctive curse to blind his dragon while Potter would simply use his flying skills to his advantage.

The champions were then meant to uncover a message that would aid them in their second task, a dive into Hogwarts’ Black Lake in order to retrieve something. As it turned out, that something they were meant to recover was people who were being guarded by all manner of magical creatures. Cedric Diggory would come out of the task with more official points when he placed first, but that would simply tie both Harry and Cedric for first place going into the third and final task.

The final task was arguably more straightforward than the others, the champions were tasked with making it through a maze in order to claim the Triwizard Cup. Despite the various obstacles and a cursed Viktor Krum, Harry and Cedric were able to claim the Triwizard Cup at the same time, thus making them dual Triwizard Champions. Unfortunately, that is where everything would go wrong.

This Triwizard Tournament was nothing more than a front for a scheme to bring Lord Voldemort back to his former glory , a plan that worked to perfection. Harry and Cedric were transported via portkey to a graveyard in which Cedric Diggory would be killed and Voldemort would return for the first time in decades. Harry Potter would be named the winner of the Triwizard Tournament, but it was likely a hollow victory considering he lost a friend that same day.

The Harry Potter movies are available to stream on HBO Max.

The Triwizard Tournament is a magical contest held between the three largest wizarding schools of Europe: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry , Durmstrang Institute , and Beauxbatons Academy of Magic , each school being represented by one Champion. Selected Champions compete in three tasks - traditionally judged by the Headmasters or Headmistresses of the competing schools - designed to test magical ability, intelligence and courage. Champions compete for the honor and glory of winning the Tournament and for the Triwizard Cup and a monetary prize. The first Tournament was held in 1294 .

The Tournament has been renowned for being extremely dangerous: champions have died while competing, and so it was discontinued after 1792 .

In 1994 , however, the Tournament was revived with restrictions in place in an attempt to stop any potential deaths, such as allowing participants aged 17 or above to take part in it. The 1994 Triwizard Tournament is famous for having had four competing Champions, and for also having ended in tragedy with the death of Cedric Diggory and for the Rebirth of Lord Voldemort . In light of these tragedies, the Triwizard Tournament was permanently discontinued without any further plans to reinstate it.

History of the Tournament [ ]

The Triwizard Tournament was established roughly seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the wizarding schools the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry , the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic , and the Durmstrang Institute . Held every five years, the competition would be hosted by each school in turn, the judges for the Tournament comprising the headmasters or headmistresses of the schools. [1]

Rules and customs [ ]

The Goblet of Fire .

Each competing school is allowed one Champion to represent them during the Tournament. Students wishing to participate write their names and the school they attend on a piece of parchment, and enter it into the Goblet of Fire . The Goblet is an impartial judge, and selects what it considers to be the best student from each school. At the appointed time, the Goblet ejects the names, making each selected student the official Champion for their school. Each selected Champion is then bound by a magical contract to see the Tournament through to the end.

Each Tournament consists of three tasks designed to test the Champion's courage, intelligence, resourcefulness, and magical ability. These tasks are exceedingly dangerous and differ from year to year.

Champions receive marks in each of the tasks from a panel of judges, usually made up of the headmasters or headmistresses of the competing schools.

Each Champion is supposed to stand alone during the Tournament, receiving no outside help from anyone, including friends and teachers. Cheating is frowned upon, though it has been known to take place several times during the history of the Tournament, and some people believe it to be a traditional part of the event.

The Yule Ball , held on Christmas Day night, is a traditional part of the Tournament. The Ball usually includes a feast, and a formal dance where the Champions and their partners lead the host school in dancing. Students old enough to attend are allowed to bring a friend. Students that are too young to attend may attend if invited by a student old enough to attend the ball. [1]

1792 Triwizard Tournament [ ]

The Triwizard Tournament was held in 1792 , and one of the tasks involved catching a cockatrice . However, the beast went on a rampage and injured three of the judges, the Heads of Hogwarts , Beauxbatons and Durmstrang . The event was recorded in the book Hogwarts, A History , indicating that the 1792 Tournament was possibly held at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Tournament was cancelled after this incident, but several unsuccessful attempts were made to resurrect it. [1]

1994 Triwizard Tournament [ ]

Preparations [ ].

Barty Crouch Sr. , Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation .

A revival of the Tournament occurred in 1994 . Barty Crouch Sr. , Head of the Ministry of Magic 's Department of International Magical Cooperation , in conjunction with Ludo Bagman , Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports , worked with their opposite numbers in other countries to revive the Tournament. However, due to the dangerous nature of the Tournament, it was decided that some changes were to be made to the rules, with the main one being that no student under the age of seventeen was allowed to enter or compete (some students did try to). [1]

The Tournament preparations were shrouded in secrecy, although Cornelius Fudge was obliged to inform the Muggle Prime Minister that the Ministry would be importing several dragons from Romania, as well as a sphinx from Egypt, for use in the competition. [2]

The Schemes of Lord Voldemort [ ]

Despite the secrecy surrounding the Triwizard Tournament, Lord Voldemort found out about it from Bertha Jorkins , a Ministry employee in the Department of Magical Games and Sports who had been holidaying in Albania and had run into Peter Pettigrew at an inn. Pettigrew brought her before Voldemort, who, using Dark Magic, extracted from her mind information concerning the Tournament. He also learned that one of his faithful servants, Barty Crouch Jr , was still alive and under the Imperius Curse at his father's home.

Armed with this information, Voldemort set a plan into motion. He freed Crouch Jr from the Imperius Curse, and ordered him to disguise himself as Alastor Moody , Hogwarts' new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. There, he would manipulate the Tournament as his Master commanded to achieve the Dark Lord's goal: the destruction of Harry Potter . [1]

The Goblet of Fire [ ]

Students entering their names into the Goblet of Fire .

On September 1 , 1994, Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore announced to the school that they would be playing host to the Triwizard Tournament. Preparations were made for the arrival of the delegations from the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and the Durmstrang Institute , including an extra-thorough cleaning of the castle .

On 30 October , the delegation from Beauxbatons arrived in a large carriage pulled by Abraxan horses. The delegation of Beauxbatons pupils was led by their Headmistress, Madam Olympe Maxime . Shortly after their arrival, the delegation from Durmstrang, under the watchful eye of their High master Professor Igor Karkaroff , arrived in a magical ship that could travel underwater .

A feast to welcome the new arrivals was held in the Great Hall , where Professor Dumbledore introduced the other Tournament judges - Bartemius Crouch Sr and Ludo Bagman - to the assembled students. After explaining the rules of the Tournament, Dumbledore unveiled both the Goblet of Fire and the Triwizard Cup . Students would have until the start of the Halloween Feast the following day to enter their names. In agreement with the new rules regarding underage students entering the Tournament, Dumbledore drew an Age Line around the Goblet of Fire.

The following day, 31 October , the school was abuzz with rumours and speculation over who would enter the Tournament. All of the Durmstrang delegation entered, and so, presumably, did all the Beauxbatons students. Among the entrants for Hogwarts were Angelina Johnson from Gryffindor , Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff and C. Warrington from Slytherin. Fred and George Weasley attempted to bypass the Age Line by using an Ageing Potion but were repulsed by the Age Line and grew long white beards. S. Fawcett of Ravenclaw and Summers of Hufflepuff suffered the same misfortune.

At some point, most likely during the night, Barty Crouch Jr, who was using Polyjuice Potion to pose as Professor Moody, bewitched the Goblet with a powerful Confundus Charm . He made the Goblet believe that there would be four schools entering the competition, then entered Harry Potter 's name on a scrap of parchment under a false school name. Since no other entrant would be associated with the school, Harry's name was the only one that the Goblet could select. [1]

The selection of the Champions [ ]

During the Hallowe'en feast, Dumbledore presided over the selection of the Champions. Viktor Krum , from Durmstrang, was selected first, followed by Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons. The Goblet selected Cedric Diggory as the Hogwarts Champion. All three Champions left the Great Hall to receive further instructions.

To the surprise of everybody, the Goblet spat out a fourth name, as Barty Crouch Jr. had intended. Harry Potter, like the rest of the school, was shocked to hear his name called, and went to join the other Champions. After a heated debate, during which Karkaroff and Maxime questioned the motives of Dumbledore and the Ministry, since Hogwarts now had two Champions, it became clear that Harry must participate. Despite his not having entered his own name in the Goblet, the fact that his name had been entered and selected by the Goblet constituted a magical contract that bound him to compete. Even his age was not a real issue; the Age Line was only an effort to stop unprepared students entering and being killed. Traditionally, students as young as Harry had been allowed to compete in the Tournament. [1]

The Daily Prophet and the Weighing of the Wands [ ]

Rita Skeeter .

The revival of the Tournament was big news in itself, and with the revelation that Harry was competing, the Daily Prophet assigned Rita Skeeter to cover the competition, along with her photographer, Bozo . Publicity for the Tournament was of paramount importance to the Ministry, since a successful competition would bring much prestige and respect. The Champions were required to pose for photographs and to give interviews.

However, Skeeter was more interested in Harry than in the Tournament or the other Champions; her first article centred heavily on Harry and her version of his life story, at the expense of the other Champions; Cedric, for example, wasn't even mentioned. She believed that stories about the Boy Who Lived would be of more interest to the public, and, by extension, would enhance her own reputation. Her following articles were similarly themed, focusing less on the Tournament and more on Harry and his personal life.

Before the Tournament could commence, each Champion's wand had to be tested to ensure that it was in full working order and would be able to be used effectively by the Champion during the tasks.

Garrick Ollivander , of Ollivanders Wand Shop , presided over a short ceremony in which he tested each wand in turn, examining it for defects and breakages, then performing a simple magic spell to see how it responded. Satisfied that all the wands were in excellent condition, he pronounced that they were fit for the Tournament. [1]

The First Task [ ]

The dragons in the Forbidden Forest .

The First Task of the Triwizard Tournament took place on 24 November , and the objective was to retrieve a golden egg that was being guarded by a dragon - the egg would be located within a clutch of real dragon eggs. Using Sleeping Draughts , a team of wizards, including Charlie Weasley , transported nesting mothers of different breeds to Great Britain from a dragon sanctuary in Romania. The dragons were hidden in the Forbidden Forest to stop students from discovering them. However, despite the secrecy, the Champions became aware of the task that faced them. Rubeus Hagrid , a great lover of dragons, innocently invited Olympe Maxime to watch the dragons with him, unaware that she would tell her Champion, Fleur Delacour , about them. Harry Potter was also present, again at Hagrid's request, to see what was in store for him, hidden under his Invisibility Cloak . Igor Karkaroff sneaked into the Forest to discover what was being hidden, and told his Champion, Viktor Krum . Even though Cedric Diggory was not present, he was told about the dragons from Harry, who considered it unfair that Cedric should be the only one of the Champions who had no clue what the First Task was.

After lunch on the day of the First Task, the Champions assembled in a tent near the arena that had been built specifically for the Task. In the tent, they were informed of the task ahead by Barty Crouch Sr. and Ludo Bagman , who would also be acting as judges alongside Professor Dumbledore, Madame Maxime, and Professor Karkaroff. Each Champion was required to dip their hand into a bag that contained miniature replicas of the various dragons they would face, and pull one out. They would then face the real version in the arena. In addition, each miniature dragon had a small number hung around its neck, indicating which order they would face in.

Cedric Diggory tackled the task first, against a Swedish Short-Snout . He used a Transfiguration spell to change a rock into a dog to distract the dragon. He was partially successful; the dragon took the bait, and Cedric went for the Golden egg. Halfway through, the dragon turned its attention back to Cedric, and burned his face. Cedric retrieved the egg, however, and passed the task.

Second was Fleur Delacour , who faced a Common Welsh Green . She enchanted the dragon to sleep , but while retrieving the golden egg, the dragon snored and let out a jet of flame that set her skirt alight. She extinguished the flames, and retrieved her egg. Viktor Krum was third, facing a Chinese Fireball . He used the Conjunctivitis Curse to blind the dragon and retrieve his egg. However, he was docked points when the dragon stumbled around and smashed half of the real eggs. Harry Potter drew the fiercest of them all, the Hungarian Horntail . On the advice of Crouch Jr. (disguised as Professor Moody), he used a Summoning Charm to bring his Firebolt broomstick to him, and manoeuvred past the dragon to retrieve his egg.

After the First Task, Harry and Viktor were tied for first place, with Cedric in second, and Fleur in third. The champions were told that, the Golden egg they retrieved contained a clue on how to pass the Second Task. Without it, they had little chance of succeeding. [1]

The Golden Egg [ ]

The Golden egg .

The golden egg , obtained by the Champions by successfully defeating their dragon in the First Task, contained a vital clue on how to approach and pass the Second Task. However, when opened, the egg shrieked and wailed in a loud, high-pitched whine that assaulted the hearing of anyone within range. To obtain the information contained within the egg, the Champions first had to decipher how to access it.

How Fleur and Viktor worked out the clue is unknown, but Cedric had help from Barty Crouch Jr. (in the guise of Professor Moody), who told him to open the egg underwater and listen to it. He did this in the Prefect's bathroom, and, instead of the wailing and screeching, heard a voice singing. It took him a while to figure out that the verse referred to the Lake and the merpeople living in it. Crouch Jr knew that Cedric - being a fair competitor - would pass on the knowledge to Harry. This allowed Crouch Jr to keep manipulating Harry's involvement in the Tournament without Harry suspecting that it was anything other than a teacher looking out for him. [1]

The Yule Ball [ ]

GreatHallYuleBall

The Yule Ball

On Christmas Eve, the Yule Ball was held. The delegations from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang joined their Hogwarts hosts in a feast, followed by a formal dance. The Ball was also attended by several Ministry officials, including Ludo Bagman and Percy Weasley , who was deputising for the poorly Mr. Crouch . In addition to the dance, the Weird Sisters performed a number of their songs.

During the Ball, Igor Karkaroff confronted Severus Snape over the fact that their Dark Marks had started to become bolder, although neither knew the reason behind it. In addition, Rita Skeeter , in her Animagus form as a beetle, attended the Ball and eavesdropped on a conversation between Hagrid and Madame Maxime regarding Hagrid's giant mother.

Towards the end of the Ball, Cedric approached Harry and told him to take the golden egg into the bath, even giving him access to the prefects' bathroom, in return for Harry's warnings about the dragons. [1]

The machinations of Barty Crouch Jr. [ ]

Moaning Myrtle

Harry took Cedric's advice about the egg, and, with a little help from Moaning Myrtle , worked out the clue. Only one last thing remained - figuring out how to breathe underwater for an hour.

Crouch Jr, who knew what each of the Tasks were beforehand, had arranged for the answer to be in Harry's reach. At the start of the school year, while teaching a Defense Against the Dark Arts class about Unforgivable Curses , he had upset Neville Longbottom by demonstrating the Cruciatus Curse . Under the guise of comforting him, he gave Neville a book entitled Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean which contained the answer to Harry's dilemma - gillyweed .

However, Crouch Jr failed to realise that Harry would not turn to Neville for help in the run-up to the Second Task. Knowing that he had to somehow get gillyweed into Harry's possession, he summoned the house-elf Dobby - whom he knew to be a friend of Harry's - to the Staffroom to collect his cloak for cleaning. While there, he staged a conversation with Professor McGonagall where he mentioned gillyweed in relation to the Second Task. Dobby, overhearing the conversation as Crouch Jr had intended, then stole gillyweed from the private potions store of Professor Snape . [1]

Harry used gillyweed for the Second Task.

The Second Task [ ]

Taking place on February 24 , 1995 , the Second Task would involve the Champions swimming into the Black Lake to retrieve something that had been stolen from each of them. On the morning of the Task, Dobby woke Harry up, and gave him the gillyweed to use.

All four Champions assembled on the shore of the lake, and were told that they had one hour to retrieve that which had been stolen from them from the merpeople 's village, and return. The Champions entered the water; Harry had to eat the gillyweed, which gave him gills to breathe underwater, and webbed hands and feet to allow him to swim faster. Both Fleur and Cedric utilised the Bubble-Head Charm , while Viktor partially Transfigured himself into a shark . Spectators had no knowledge of what was happening during the task until at least one champion returned, but were able to monitor time remaining by observing a provided clock .

The four Champions headed through the lake to the village; although Fleur was forced to retire when she was attacked by grindylows . Harry reached the village first to find that the "item" that had been stolen from each Champion were people close to them. Placed in an enchanted sleep, then tied to the tail of a stone Merperson , were Harry's best friend, Ron Weasley , Hermione Granger , who had been Viktor's date to the Yule Ball , Cedric's girlfriend Cho Chang , and Fleur's younger sister, Gabrielle .

Concerned for the safety of all the "hostages", Harry refused to just take Ron and go. Cedric arrived shortly after and rescued Cho, followed by Viktor. Viktor's partial Transfiguration had left him with the head of a shark, and he found it difficult to free Hermione. Harry passed him a sharp rock to cut her bonds with, then Viktor left carrying Hermione and headed for the surface. With no sign of Fleur, Harry made the decision to rescue both the remaining hostages himself. Although the merpeople objected and tried to stop him, Harry managed to free himself, and dragged Ron and Gabrielle to the surface.

Back on shore, Harry learned from Ron that none of them had ever been in real danger, and that he should have just rescued him and got back as quickly as possible. Cedric, the first Champion back, had arrived one minute outside of the one hour time limit, followed by Viktor in second place. Harry was third, and, because she did not finish, Fleur was in last place.

Viktor Krum , partially Transfigured into a shark, retrieves Hermione during the Second Task.

Despite finishing third, Merchieftainess Murcus informed Dumbledore that Harry arrived at the hostages first, and only his desire to see them all safe had stopped him from finishing first. After a conversation with his fellow judges, which included Percy Weasley deputising for the ill Mr. Crouch, it was decided that Harry, for showing moral fibre, would be awarded second place.

Cedric scored forty-seven points, Harry scored forty-five points, Viktor earned forty points, and Fleur came last with twenty-five points. After the first two tasks, Harry and Cedric were tied for first place, with Viktor second, and Fleur third. [1]

The Third Task [ ]

On June 24 , the Third Task was to navigate a maze grown on the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch . The maze was populated by various obstacles and dangers that each Champion had to overcome. Crouch Jr, as Professor Moody, was entrusted with placing the Triwizard Cup at the centre of the maze. While doing this, he enchanted the Cup to be a Portkey that would be activated by touch.

Cedric and Harry , tying for first place after two tasks, were to enter the maze first, followed by Viktor , and then Fleur . The first Champion to successfully navigate the maze and reach the Cup would be declared the winner.

During the task, Cedric encountered a Blast-Ended Skrewt , which he barely escaped from. Harry had to deal with a Boggart in the form of a Dementor , and overcame an odd golden mist which turned things upside-down. Crouch Jr, however, was leaving nothing to chance. Using Moody's magical eye, he watched events unfold in the maze, keeping the more dangerous obstacles out of Harry's path. He also Stunned Fleur, and placed the Imperius Curse on Viktor. He used Viktor to attack Cedric with the Cruciatus Curse in order to clear Harry's path to the Cup.

The Triwizard Cup .

Harry encountered the Blast-Ended Skrewt that had attacked Cedric, then heard Cedric being tortured, and rescued him by Stunning Viktor. Cedric and Harry parted company, and Harry had to answer a riddle from a sphinx to continue on into the maze.

Cedric and Harry joined forces to defeat an Acromantula , before they both arrived at the Cup together. After an argument over who deserved to win more, they decided to take the Cup together, since it would still be a Hogwarts victory. Touching the Cup at the same moment, they activated it as a Portkey, and were transported out of the maze. [1]

The Tragedy in Little Hangleton [ ]

Priori Incantatem

Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter duel in the Little Hangleton graveyard .

Harry and Cedric were instantly transported to the graveyard in Little Hangleton . After a moment's confusion, Harry recognized the graveyard from dreams he had been having, and warned Cedric that they needed to get back to the Cup. Before they could, Peter Pettigrew emerged from the darkness, carrying the weakened form of Lord Voldemort . On Voldemort's orders, Pettigrew murdered Cedric using the Killing Curse .

Pettigrew captured Harry, binding him to the grave of Voldemort's father, and performed an ancient magical ritual. Using the bones of the father , the flesh of the servant , meaning himself, and the blood of an enemy , Pettigrew restored Voldemort to full vitality. Lord Voldemort called his Death Eaters to him, and planned to murder Harry.

Harry and Voldemort engaged in a brief duel, but their wand cores connected and created the effect known as Priori Incantatem , and the "echoes" of Voldemort's past victims, including Cedric Diggory , Frank Bryce , Bertha Jorkins , and James and Lily Potter , emerged from Voldemort's wand. They helped Harry to escape from Voldemort by distracting the Dark Lord, giving him enough time to reach Cedric's body, then Summon the Portkey to him and return them both to Hogwarts. [1]

Aftermath [ ]

Cedricdead

Harry Potter returns Cedric Diggory 's body to Hogwarts .

Returning to Hogwarts with Cedric's body, Harry was promptly whisked away from the crowds by Crouch Jr, still in the disguise of Professor Moody. As the assembled crowd learned that Cedric was dead, Dumbledore realised that something was amiss with Moody, since the real Moody would never have taken Harry away from the tragic scene.

In Moody's office, Crouch Jr started to question Harry about what had happened, and how it felt to stand in the Dark Lord's presence. Harry, unnerved by Moody's seeming adoration of Voldemort - something that went against everything he knew about Moody - was shortly rescued by Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape. Soon the effects of Crouch Jr's Polyjuice Potion wore off, since, in the excitement, he had neglected to take it at the proper time to maintain his cover, and his duplicity was revealed. Under the effects of Veritaserum , Crouch described Lord Voldemort's plan to resurrect himself and Crouch Jr's own involvement in getting Harry to the graveyard.

Dumbledore passed the information of Lord Voldemort's return to Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge , who had been acting as a judge for the Third Task. Fudge insisted that he could not be back. Meanwhile, Fudge had a Dementor Kiss Barty Jr., effectively destroying a valuable piece of evidence proving the Dark Lord's return. In the face of the Ministry's refusal to accept the truth, Dumbledore reconstituted the Order of the Phoenix to stand against Voldemort.

Despite Cedric's death, Harry was recorded as the official winner of the Tournament and given the thousand Galleons prize money; there was originally supposed to be an award ceremony, which was cancelled due to the circumstances. He attempted to give it to Cedric's parents, but they refused it. In the end, he gave the money to Fred and George Weasley , who used it to establish Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes . [1] [3]

Because of the Ministry's denials that Lord Voldemort had returned, Cedric's death was labelled a tragic accident, and it was not until a year later, when Fudge saw with his own eyes that the Dark Lord had returned, that the true cause of Cedric's death was made public. [3]

As a result of a champion's death despite the new safety regulations imposed, the Triwizard Tournament was permanently discontinued without any further plans were made to reinstate it.

Behind the scenes [ ]

  • During the 1994-1995 tournament, the prize was 1000 Galleons. It is not stated if the prize value has been consistent throughout the tournament's history. According to Quidditch Through the Ages , 1000 Galleons in the 13th century would have amounted to several millions in modern currency.
  • Despite "eternal glory" being given to whoever wins the Triwizard Tournament, no previous winners of the competition have ever been mentioned.
  • It is interesting to note that each Champion has a different wand core: Harry's is phoenix feather , Cedric's is unicorn hair , Fleur's is Veela hair , and Viktor's is dragon heartstring .
  • The book gives the arrival of the Durmstrang and Beauxbatons teams as Friday, 30 October. 30th October, 1994 was a Sunday.
  • In an interview, J.K. Rowling revealed that the Triwizard Tournament was originally intended to have four tasks, each representing the classical four elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water, but conceiving a task for all four proved too difficult and Air and Fire were finally combined in the form of the dragons, with the lake representing Water and the maze representing Earth. [ citation needed ]
  • During the First Task, the Hungarian Horntail breaks free of its chains and chases Harry around Hogwarts Castle before Harry retrieves the Golden Egg . However, in the books the dragon is not chained down anyway. Also, in the books Harry retrieves the Golden egg by skillful flying derived from his Quidditch skills rather than just by inducing the dragon to run into an obstacle, which he does in the movie.
  • Due to Dobby being cut from the film, he does not steal the gillyweed for Harry. Neville Longbottom gives Harry the idea to use gillyweed and obtains it for him. In addition, the book Moody (Crouch Jr.) gives him is called Magical Water Plants of the Highland Lochs , whereas in the books it is called Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranian.
  • During the Third Task in the movie, there are no encounters with a Blast-Ended Skrewt , a boggart , a sphinx , or an acromantula . Instead, the maze itself comes to life and attacks the Champions. Also, in the movie Krum attacks Fleur rather than Cedric.
  • The maze is in the movie much larger than the one in the book, which was held entirely in the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch .
  • In the movie, there is no mention of Ludo Bagman .
  • In the movie, there was no mention of 1000 galleons as a prize or Harry giving it to Fred and George Weasley .
  • In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 , part of the dragon chase takes place in Hogwarts castle, with Hermione helping Harry to defeat the dragon.
  • Out of the four champions of the 1994 Triwizard Tournament, three were Quidditch players and they were all three Seekers. Although it has never been mentioned if Fleur Delacour plays Quidditch for any teams, but it is very unlikely, because in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , Bill Weasley mentioned that Fleur was not fond of brooms.
  • After filming the second task, Daniel Radcliffe revealed that he spent a total of forty-one hours and thirty-eight minutes underwater to film the scenes.
  • Hagrid says in the book that he never thought he'd live to see the Triwizard Tournament played again. However, the Tournament was supposed to be cancelled in 1792. This can be assumed to be another unsuccessful attempt to resurrect it.
  • Note that all the Triwizard Champions of the 1994 school year were the same genders as their corresponding headmaster/mistress.
  • With the Durmstrang students sitting next to Slytherin, and Beauxbatons students next to Ravenclaw, a champion was selected from each of the four tables of the Great Hall.
