In this chapter... Well Harry and the others release the boot; they find themselves in a campsite, full of witches and wizards. Most are dressed as Muggles, but some look more convincing than others. They are going to camp in magical tents – the tents look normal size from the outside but they are enchanted to look like a three-room flat complete with a kitchen and bathroom. As Harry, Ron and Hermione go to get water, they see lots of international witches and wizards. They see friends from school – including Seamus Finnigan, Cho Chang and the old Gryffindor Quidditch captain, Oliver Wood, who has just joined Puddlemere United Quidditch team. The Quidditch final is Ireland against Bulgaria. Bulgaria has a excellent Seeker by the name of Viktor Krum.
Harry meets Ludo Bagman, Head of the Magical Games and Sports Department at the Ministry. Fred and George bet their entire savings against Bagman that Ireland will win but Krum will get the Golden Snitch. Later in the evening, Harry meets Barty Crouch, Percy’s boss.. Harry buys a number of very cool souvenirs, and then when it’s finally time for the match to start they head off towards the stadium.
“Just put them on, Archie, there’s a good chap, you can’t walk around like that, the Muggle on the gate’s already getting suspicious…”
“I brought this in a Muggle shop,” said the old wizard stubbornly. “Muggles wear them.”
“Muggle woman wear them, Archie, not the men, they wear these,” said the Ministry wizard, and he brandished the pinstriped trousers.
“I’m not putting them on,” said old Archie in indignation, “I like a healthy breeze around my privates, thanks.”
What item of clothing was Archie wearing? Long flowery nightgown
Chapter 8: The Quidditch World Cup
In this chapter... Harry and the Weasley’s, with Hermione, head for the Quidditch stadium. They have got the best seats, in the Top Box. When they get into the Box, Harry thinks he sees Dobby up there. But it is a female house-elf, Winky. She is saving a seat for her Master. It is very hard for Harry and the others to ignore Draco, his father and his mother, when they also enter the Top Box. They are Cornelius Fudge’s (the Minister of Magic) guest – Lucius Malfoy has just given a large donation to St. Mungo’s hospital.
The Ireland mascots are leprechauns. They fly in the sky, scattering gold coins at the spectators. The Bulgarian mascots are veela, beautiful women who make men do anything to impress them. The Quidditch match is amazing and so are the players. Harry sees lots of new Quidditch moves. The match gets more brutal as it progresses, and finally ends in a stunning twist: Ireland win but the Bulgarian Seeker, Viktor Krum, gets the Snitch.
“Wild!” he said, twiddling the replay knob on the side. “I can make that old bloke down there pick his nose again…and again…and again…”
What was the nationality of the wizard who refereed the final of the Quidditch World Cup? Egyptian
