Hi, Marcus.  I wondered about this.  But I guess if your life is at 
stake, you can catch a cup while you palm your wand.  Also, you 
probably don't have to be precise.  Just touching the cup ought to do 
it (note how Harry couldn't release the cup when he and Cedric were 
being transported the first time).

More troubling to me is the movement when Harry is on the ground.  He 
is probably still holding Cedric's wrist (with a tight grip), and he 
is face-down.  Dumbledore turns Harry over, yet Harry still manages 
to hang onto Cedric's wrist.  Hmmmm.
