Yeah, and I was always impressed/horrified that Harry had to duel  Voldemort 
with one leg not working well (in the book) because it was not only  badly 
cut, but had spider poison in it (I guess that's what you'd call it --  venom, 
maybe?) so it was making him ill in general in addition to the pain and  the 
blood loss.  All that, and then he had blood taken from his arm, and  then he 
suffered all that debilitating scar pain, and THEN he had to fight  the most evil 
wizard of all time, and Harry's only 14!  I really missed the  spider attack 
because it injured Harry and made his graveyard battle that much  more 
horrible.  (It also shows how noble Cedric truly was, not taking  advantage of the 
fact that Harry was injured, so he couldn't possibly beat him  to the cup -- so 
Cedric helped him to the cup.  Cedric was a really good  guy, and well played 
by Robert Pattinson -- he was very much "book!Cedric" in  the way he portrayed 
the character, IMO.)  There was an awesome power in  the "grabbing the cup" 
scene in the book because Harry had saved Cedric, and  then Cedric tried to let 
Harry take the cup because of that, and then they  shared the win.
 
Maybe the producers/director/writer thought the very  unfairness of it, the 
inequality of Harry being inexperienced, not fully  trained, only 14 and alone 
AND INJURED versus Voldie with a fresh new body and a  gang to back him up, 
was more than a PG-13 film could handle??
