[HPforGrownups] A Portkey Question ....

[Susanne Schmid]

No: HPFGUIDX 23137

If , er, such a prosaic comment is allowed: It's like
having some electric device with a timer. You activate
it if you need it. At the QWC, good timing was vital,
otherwise they would have had heaps of people arriving
at the same moment and landing on top of each other.
At the Triwizard Cup, on the contrary, it was vital
that the portkey worked whenever it was touched (would
have been nice if the Blast- Ended Skrewt had arrived
first, wouldn't it?)

pet for Ms. M. Barnett)

<then have to wait for the proper time that it will

<there, they are told to move out of the way because
<they have another one coming in at 5:15.
<Fast forward to the Third Task.Harry and Cedric both
<grab the Tri-Wizard cup, that, as we are told later,
<has been made into a Portkey.Still with me?Ok, why do
<the other appearances of the portkey require specific
<times, when the Tri-Wizard cup does not; I'm going
<with Moody/Crouch, Jr. didn't know the exact time
<Harry was going to touch the cup, or that Cedric was
<going to touch it with him.
<Are there 2 different types of portkey?1 that is on a
<time schedule and another that activates whenever it
<is touched?
