[HPforGrownups] On the subject of the portkey/triwizard cup...

It has been theorized (by me, I know for certain, but I think a few others,
too) that the Portkey spell has variables which the caster inserts. I
believe that the spell allows the caster to set the "trigger" which will
activate the Portkey function of the object in question. In the case of the
Quidditch Cup portkeys, the trigger was a particular time, and it was a
one-way spell. In the case of the Triwizard Cup, the trigger was touch, and
it was set to be a two-way spell (round trip).

I think the FAQs cover the speculations on Portkeys, if that one's up and
running; it may also be discussed in the Lexicon.
