someone already answered this. :)

Me:
Hmmm. Do you have a later edition or a translation of
a foreign version? I have GoF (American, p. 10) right
in front of me, and it clearly says "one more death."
Right before that Wormtail says "if I murder-" and
Voldemort interrupts with "the Ministry need never
know anyone else died." (paraphrasing here, sorry)
Then, on page 12, Volemort continues musing, "One more
murder..." So what I have is Voldemort *repeatedly*
saying that he is going to kill someone else.

There are a couple of possibilities here, at least
that I see. I don't believe that Cedric was the death
he referred to, as his showing up at the graveyard was
purely accidental. Barty Crouch Sr. makes sense,
except that Voldy says that the Ministry doesn't have
to know, and I think someone would notice the death of
such an important official. Moody seems the most
likely, since no one would know he was dead as long as
Crouch Jr. was polyjuiced to look like him. But then
there is still the pesky detail that Moody *wasn't
murdered*....

Or perhaps another murder was planned all along and
wasn't carried out for some reason. ::suddenly
realizes that this opens up another spectrum of
possibilities:: All right, I'll leave the speculating
up to others for now.

Heather, who was just taken off moderated new member
status, woo-hoo!
