> Catherine now:
>   We don't know that though. We never see how much help Cedric gets
because the story is about Harry, not Cedric. Cedric could have
friends like Ron and Hermione who can help him figure stuff out too.
Cedric got the tip from Moody to open the egg under water, but if the
bubblehead charm is something that is tought in Charms in 7th year,
how come Hermione didn't find it?  We really don't know how much help
the others got for the tasks. And there's no canon to prove anything.

Finwitch: 

Well, the Bubblehead Charm was widely used in the Trio's 5th year
because of the constant smoke-bombing, even by younger students.

I assume that it was in a library book, not a regural Charms book. As
to why Hermione didn't find it -- Why, someone else (Cedric/another
Hufflepuff, probably, or some Slytherins who didn't want Harry to
learn it) had checked it out!
