The Chance for NEW CANON- cont.

[Puja]

  Question and Joywitch comment:
   We've seen in OoP that portkeys do work inside Hogwarts.  So how 
   come Crouch Jr. had to get Harry into the Triwizard Tournament and 
   wait for the third task before sending Harry to Voldemort?  Couldn't 
  he just have turned anything in the castle into a  Portkey at any 
   time?

   Erin answers:
   What I tell myself now is that you can only use portkeys from 
   Dumbledore's office, the rest of the school and grounds are 
   protected, and the protection had been lifted from the maze to allow 
   the champions who could to apparate or whatever.

  Annemehr suggests:
  We know you can't apparate into or out of Hogwarts, but we've seen
  Dumbledore send people into and out of his office by portkey and
  arrive by Floo powder himself.  Is that a lapse in security or can
  only the headmaster do that?

  Puju02 adds:
  I suppose the headmaster has certain previleges. Secondly, in the light of the
  tornament security was tight. So if fake Moody had tried to smuggle harry to voldemort,
  the plan would have failed coz Dumbledore and everyone would have been alerted to 
  Voldemort's rise immediately. Remember Dumbledore says to harry "You (harry) were not supposed to have survived the attack by voldemort." That way voldemort would have come to power quietly and befoer the wizard world could get prepared he would have conquered all.
  Part of it was also probably to tell us what a triwizard tournament is all about.
  It gives something exciting to read in Hogwarts than just house quidditch cups each year!
  Only my defence to JKR's brilliance.
