Hey

Notice this quote in OOTP

Cho = "And that's not to mention all the tasks he had to get through 
in the Tournament last year - getting past dragons and merepeople and 
Acromantula and things"

Which begs a couple of questions

If the spider he and Cedric faced WAS an Acromantula, how did they 
get it into the maze and how does Cho know about it?

If the spider wasn't one, that does Cho know more than we think about 
events of CoS?

Sirius

How did he get another wand? Being the most hunted after wizard in 
the Wizarding World, how did he, either, get his old wand back or 
manage to buy another?

What happened to Wormtail, Karkaroff and Crouch jnr in this story? I 
believe that Crouch jnr still has a body...Was it disposed of? Where 
was Wormtail and what was he doing during the Department Of Mysteries fiasco? And was Karkaroff found?

Firenze tells us that the Wizarding World is on the brink of a great 
war...With two books left, can this be a Great War as we only have 
two years left with Harry? The war hasn't really even started 
yet...Compared to the last war of 14 or so years, can JKR convey that 
this is war in the remaining books?
