"But haven't we already seen a possible instance of time travel to 
the future?  How did Greg and Feorge know that Ireland would win but 
Bulgaria would get the snitch? (GOF)  Could have been a lucky guess 
or *yup* you got it - travel to the future.  I like the idea even 
though its a little far out!"


DuffyPoo:

Another perfect example of how some people here read far more into the books that I do.  I thought F&G were making a bet on the most obvious 'odds against' to get the most bang for their buck if they won.  They were talking the game over with Charlie the night before at dinner.  "It's got to be Ireland,' said Charlie thickly, through a mouthful of potato. "They flattened Peru in the semi-finals." "Bulgaria have got Viktor Krum, though,' said Fred. "Krum's one decent player, Ireland have got seven." I can just hear F&G having this conversation on their way up to bed: F: 'what's the weirdest thing that can happen as the outcome of this game?' G: 'Ireland win but Krum get the snitch.' F: 'we'll bet on that then if we get the chance, we can make loads of money. That joke shop's as good as ours!'
