that Arthur Weasley in GoF, Chapter 6 says portkeys are "objects that 
are used to transport wizards from one spot to another at a 
prearranged time." He says this as though it is an INHERENT (is
there 
a code to do italics for emphasis here?) property of portkeys not a 
convenient feature to use in some instances but not others.  I
realize 
it doesn't specifically gainsay the idea, but it does seem like an 
inconsistency to me.  Thoughts anyone?

Dear Luke, 
Voldie's followers have shown that there are ways to get around spells and 
charms: i.e. Crouch as Moody "bamboozling" the Goblet of Fire to select 
Harry's name. Seems reasonable to me that this same wizard could do a 
variation of bamboozling the TriWizard Cup-turned portkey. A sort of 
"when a hand touches you (specifically Harry Potter's? ) the time will be 
right."
