Ron wants very badly to compete in the tournament and feels betrayed that Harry would enter without telling him how to enter, too. Ron doesn't believe him and is angry that Harry excluded him from his plan to enter his name. Harry realizes that Ron thinks he entered his own name and quickly insists that he has no idea how his name got in the Goblet.

He cannot find Ron and Hermione, but once he manages to break free from the common room, he finds Ron sitting on his bed, a strange, strained smile on his face. Harry is uncomfortable with the celebration but unable to escape his peers' enthusiasm. His housemates wrap him in a Gryffindor banner and fill him with food and butterbeer. When he enters the Gryffindor common room, he is bombarded with fanfare. Harry looks forward to discussing the matter with Ron and Hermione, who he thinks surely will believe him. Cedric good-naturedly asks Harry how he managed to enter his name, but Harry insists that he didn't enter it. Once they are dismissed, Harry and Cedric walk off towards their common rooms together. They are all exempt from final exams due to the taxing nature of the competition. They are not informed of the tasks ahead of time. The champions must not seek or accept help in their tasks. Once they settle the matter of Harry competing, Crouch reads off the rules, which are simple. Crouch confirms that since the Goblet produced Harry's name, he is entered in a magical contract and must compete. He alludes to Karkaroff's past as a dark wizard. Moody enters the room and shares his theory that someone must have entered Harry's name as part of a plot to harm him. McGonagall believes Harry could not have breached the age line and trusts Dumbledore's judgment in believing Harry did not ask an older student to submit his name. Karkaroff and Madame Maxime are upset that Hogwarts has two champions and their schools only have one. Snape is convinced that Harry entered his own name for attention. Dumbledore calmly asks Harry if he put his name in the Goblet, and Harry assures him that he did not, nor did he ask an older student to put his name in for him.

Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Madam Maxime, Karkaroff, and Bartemius Crouch. Shortly after Bagman enters, a small crowd of faculty follows. Then, Ludo Bagman bursts into the room, excited to explain the unprecedented events to the other champions.įleur is particularly upset by this new bit of information. Since there are normally only three wizards in the Triwizard Tournament, as suggested by the name, none of the other champions realize why Harry is there right away. When he enters the small chamber where the other three champions are standing, he feels exceptionally small and unprepared. Entering the competition was a nice fantasy, but not something he seriously considered. He didn't, after all, submit his own name to the Goblet. Sharp whispers echo from the faculty table, and then Dumbledore finally calls Harry up from the Gryffindor table. After the Goblet of Fire produces Harry's name as the fourth champion, a tense and confused silence falls over the Great Hall.
