[HPforGrownups] Re: The Third Task Audience

AEB - very sensible arguments about how the audience could've been
"involved" as spectators. I know for my own fanfic, I created a series of
projection spots (based, actually, on the way Earth life is televised in
Robert Rankin's Armageddon: The Musical) where the audience could see images
above the maze of what was going on in particular spots.

And to cover the issue of what the audience saw during the acceptance of the
cup, I don't think there was any "reporting" from the innermost two circles,
to allow a bit of suspense as the Champions neared the cup, so it would be a
bit of a surprise as to exactly who touched it first.
