[Lee]:
I beg to differ, friend.  Crouch Senior was imperioed after the World Cup.
You might want to re-read that chapter again.  After Crouch Junior stole
Harry's wand, set off the Dark Mark, got stunned along with Winky but was
unnoticed because of the invisibility cloak, then Crouch found him, sacked
Winky and took Junior back home.  Meanwhile, Voldemort had extracted the
whole thing about Moody teaching at Hogwarts, the Tri-Wizard Tournament,
etc., and went in the arms of Wormtail to the Crouch house the night before
Moody was supposed to go to Hogwarts.  Senior was Imperioed and Junior was
set free to take over Moody.  Hence, the whole incident with the
dustbins...Junior, et al, invaded Moody's place, imperioed and stupified
him, did the polyjuice thing and the police and MOM were dealing with the
now fake moody.

That's it in a nutshell, give or take a few minor details.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
