Chapter 21- The House-elf Liberation front
After successfully completing the first task, the trio is in high spirits, with
Ron, ever doubtful before; proclaiming that he thinks Harry could win the
tournament.
Upon hearing about the tournament, and reading about the first task, did you
really think that Harry would win the tournament? Knowing what you know now, did
you have any inkling about how the third task would end?
On another note, we all know Karkaroff couldn't be the one who placed Harry's
name in the goblet, so who were your initial suspects? Did you ever suspect
!fake Moody?
At Harry's victory party, they open up the golden egg and it wails like a
banshee. What was your initial guesses how it could've been a clue to the next
task?

Rita Skeeter is again seen on the grounds of Hogwarts, Harry says she isn't
allowed, but yet nobody throws her out. We learn at the end that she is able to
pop in and out because of her ability as an animagus, does this mean the
barriers of Hogwarts can be duped simply by changing into an animal? Can an
animagus deatheater get inside Hogwarts?
Professor Trelawney claims she has seen death numerous times while gazing at her
crystal orb, did you think she really did see anything? I confess, I always
thought she was referring to Harry's death, but we all know what happened at the
end of the book. Not to mention that she was the one who predicted The Prophecy.

Hermione discovers Dobby and Winky at the kitchens, and they find out that
Dumbledore gave them jobs at Hogwarts. Being more exposed to house-elf culture,
do you think it is a worthy cause to fight for their rights? Do you really think
they should be freed, seeing what effect it had on Winky?
Winky says "Bagman is a bad wizard", I can't remember, but was it ever revealed
why she said so? I remember he was seen in the company of suspected deatheaters,
but as far as I know, he isn't one. Could it possibly be because of his penchant
for gambling?
