Well, I like your theory in principle, but it falls down in a few of the
specifics.  It says in GOF Ch.35, "He had come back to the edge of the
maze.  He could see the stands rising above him, the shapes of people
moving in them, the stars above."  So Harry and Cedric disappeared from
the center of the maze, and Harry reappeared with Cedric's body at the
edge.  Fudge (and others) disagree as to what *happened* to Harry and
Cedric after they disappeared, but not that Harry made the entire event
up.
