In this chapter... The next day, Harry writes to Sirius, telling him there’s no need to come back, that he’s fine and his scar doesn’t hurt at all. He doesn’t want Sirius to put himself in danger for his sake. Harry sends Hedwig off with the letter. In the DADA class, Professor Moody does the Imperius Curse on all of them so the students can practice throwing it off. Only Harry is able to resist the curse, and Moody is mightily impressed.
The students from Beaubaxtons and Durmstrang arrive the day before Hallowe’en. The castle is given a thorough scrubbing and when the day finally arrives all the students go out to the grounds to greet the arriving schools. The Beaubaxtons arrive first, in a gigantic horse-drawn carraige. The Head Mistress is Madame Maxime. She is the largest woman Harry has ever seen. She is as big as Hagrid, but elegant and beautiful in spite of her size. The Durmstrang students arrive soon after in a gigantic ship that appears magically in the lake. Harry and Ron are astounded that Viktor Krum, the famous Quidditch player, is a student there and intends to become his school champion.
“Excuse me, I don’t like people just because they’re handsome!” said Hermione indignantly. Ron gave a loud false cough, which sounded oddly like “Lockhart!”
Where is the Owlery situated? Top of West Tower
Chapter 16: The Goblet of Fire
In this chapter... Ron is fascinated that Viktor Krum is at Hogwarts, and is going to try out for the Triwizard Tournament. One of the Beauxbatons pupils is a Veela, which distracts Ron even more, when she asks for Bouillabaisse – a French soup. There is more variety of food than usual – the House Elves seem to be catering for the foreign guests much to Hermione’s disgust.
Mr Crouch and Ludo Bagman are also at the feast – they are also going to be judges at the Tournament, together with the Head teachers of the schools. Professor Dumbledore explains the rules of the Triwizard Tournament. He unveils a goblet spewing forth blue flames. This goblet that it the "impartial judge" that will be deciding who the school champion is. Each school iwill be allowed one person to take part in the Triwizard Tournament. Dumbledore also tells them that he’ll be drawing an Age Line around the goblet to ensure that no underage student puts their name in. Fred, George and their friend Lee Jordan plan to use an Aging Potion. They only have to be a few months older. Harry and Ron daydream about putting their names in the goblet.
The next day, Fred and George attempt to put their names in the goblet, after taking the Aging Potion, and try and get past the Age Line. They’re instantly thrown back against the wall and sprout magnificent white beards that amuse everyone. Angelina Johnson, a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team has managed to put her name in the goblet, together with Cedric Diggory. Viktor Krum has too, and also the girl, who asked Ron for the Bouillabaisse.
That evening, the students eagerly wait to see who will be chosen as each school champion. That night after yet another feast the whole school eagerly awaits the choosing of the school champion. Viktor Krum gets selected for Durmstrang, Fleur Delacour, the veela, from Beauxbatons, and Cedric Diggory for Hogwarts. The champions file out to a back room, and everyone thinks the event is over until the goblet spews forth one more name: Harry Potter.
“Done it,” Fred said in a triumphant whisper to Harry, Ron and Hermione. “Just taken it.”
“What?” said Ron.
“The Aging Potion, dungbrains,” said Fred.
“One drop each,” said George, rubbing his hands together with glee. “We only need to be a few months older.”
“We’re going to split the thousand Galleons between the three of us if one of us wins,” said Lee, grinning broadly.
What sort of potion do Fred and George use to try and put their names in the Goblet of Fire? An Ageing Potion
