Barty has not entirely escaped; knowing what he is looking for, Bartemius has managed to find Barty, Stunned and under his Invisibility Cloak, and has returned him to the Crouch home.

While we know that Voldemort is now re-embodied, and living in his ancestral home with Peter Pettigrew and Nagini , it is uncertain how he learns of the events at the Quidditch World Cup.

He has already learned of Barty Crouch Jr. We can guess that he did somehow find out, because if he had expected Pettigrew to face both Crouch and his house elf, his elation at having the job complete without Pettigrew having to defeat Winky would likely have triggered a response in Harry's scar, a response which does not seem to have happened. Of course, we already know that Voldemort dismisses House-elf magic as being insignificant, so he may simply have ignored Winky as a force to be concerned with.

Learning more of Amos Diggory's personality, as we do in the early part of this chapter, makes it easier for us to accept his reaction to Cedric Diggory's death in the final chapters of this book.

While it seems counter-intuitive that Amos would refuse a share in the Triwizard winnings following Cedric's death, it is certainly true that no amount of money would compensate for the loss of Amos' son. But it is, on examination, the fact that Amos cannot care about Harry that prevents him accepting the funds. Harry sees the winnings as being associated with Cedric's death and is unwilling to keep them. Amos is unable to see that by offering the winnings, Harry is attempting to ease his conscience at least somewhat of the perceived responsibility for Cedric's death.

Having a large amount of funds that he doesn't want, Harry gives them to the Twins to replace their losses from betting with Ludo; this sets the Twins up in their own joke shop, producing magical artifacts which will prove useful to the Trio in their adventures in the final books.

We note that the Omnioculars, so very valuable in deciphering the action of the game, never reappear in the book or the series, though the figurine of Krum that Ron buys at the same time does — or at least its arm does: Harry finds an arm that looks like it was broken off the Krum figurine after an episode in which Ron gets jealous of Krum's attentions to Hermione.

We can only surmise that the Omnioculars are too powerful, that their magic would make it possible for Harry to discover things too easily, so the author must carefully prevent the reader from remembering them and asking why they weren't used, for instance when Harry was being taken to Headquarters in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , to scan for potential attackers.

While the byplay with Ludo and his betting may seem minor at the time, it appears in later volumes that Ludo defaulting on or more literally running out on his gambling debt will greatly increase the friction between Wizards and Goblins.

It seems that Ludo's bet was actually with the chief of the Goblins; because of this insult to their chief, the Goblins feel that Ludo's actions somehow reflect badly on all Wizardkind, and their charitable feelings towards Wizards have taken rather a large beating. Mostafa falls in love with the Veela, completing forgetting that he's officiating the biggest match of his career to date. He feels embarrassed once he realizes what he's doing and disciplines them for trying to trick him.

This could have added some much-needed comic relief in an otherwise dark and gritty movie. In the core material, Ludo Bagman is a charming man - but one who can't be trusted. He meets Harry and the Weasleys before the tournament begins and scoffs at a bet by Fred and George Weasley.

The twins win, though, and he fails to pay them despite them accurately predicting with Ireland would win and Viktor Krum would get the snitch. Bagman is left out of the movie altogether, which is a crying shame given he is a character with much potential.

In the books he ends up disappearing out of fear for his life, having double-crossed some rather savage and unforgiving goblins. Before the match starts on the big screen, you see how wizards and witches from all over the world gather to watch the big showdown between Ireland and Bulgaria.

However, while you see it busy, you don't get any character appearances like in the books. Harry and Ron seem to know pretty much everybody there. They talk with Seamus Finnigan and his mother about Ireland's chances of lifting the trophy, Harry lusts over crush Cho Chang while the gang also bump into Oliver Wood, the old Gryffindor keeper. It would have been great seeing all of these characters but it appears Warner Bros were determined not to get sidetracked and stay on course.
