Maybe with all this “Dark Lord has returned” stuff and “Chosen One” it would have made sense to keep Harry out of the Triwizard Cup, but it is pretty damned fun.
Some plot holes though, worse than the complete poppycock that are the rules of Quiddich, can’t be ignored. I mean, if they spend the whole time saying that trying to win the Triwizard Cup is dangerous and you can get killed – why are they so shocked and scandalized when someone actually gets killed?
