In this chapter... Harry returns to the Weasley’s home, The Burrow. He meets the two older Weasley boys for the first time. Charlie works in Romania with dragons, while Bill works for Gringotts bank. Mr Weasley is not impressed by Fred and George’s trick sweets – the sweet that Dudley took was a Ton Tongue Toffee. Fred and George have been inventing tricks etc, in their room all summer. They had planned to sell them at Hogwarts, until Mrs Weasley found out.
Over dinner, Harry learns all about the coming Quidditch World Cup. Harry can’t wait to see his first professional Quidditch match. Over an amazingly delicious dinner that night they discuss the upcoming match. Percy now works at the Ministry of Magic – his boss is a Mr Crouch. He is veru annoying by hinting about his knowledge about a secret event that will take place at Hogwart’s this year, only he won’t give them hints as to what it is.
“That was a sample of fertilizer from Norway!” said Percy, going very red in the face. “It was nothing personal!”
“It was,” Fred whispered to Harry as they got up from the table. “We sent it.”
Where does the gnome hide from Crookshanks? In a Wellington boot
Chapter 6: The Portkey
In this chapter... The next day, Harry and the rest of the Weasley family prepare to start off for the Quidditch World Cup. Mrs Weasley is going to get Harry’s things, what he needs from Diagon Alley. Percy, Charlie and Bill are meeting the rest of the Weasley’s at the match a little later – they are able to Apparate there.
Harry learns that they’ll be taking a Portkey to the match. The group meet up with Cedric Diggory – the Hufflepuff Quidditch Seeker, and his father, Amos. They are going to the Quidditch World Cup too. Cedric, , is embarrassed when his father insults Harry, and declares Cedric is a better Quidditch plyer than Harry. This is in reference to when Hufflepuff beat Gryffindor the revious year, when Harry fell off his broom. When the time comes they all grasp a manky old boot and are jerked away towards the World Cup.
“Cedric’s talked about you, of course,” said Amos Diggory. “Told us all about playing against you last year…I said to him, I said – Ced, that’ll be something to tell your grandchildren that will…you beat Harry Potter!”
Where does Amos Diggory work? Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures
