The idea that Albus Dumbledore selected to place Harry Potter into hurt’s method — a number of occasions and all through three very harmful “duties” — within the Triwizard Match is certainly fascinating, however some Redditors did not fairly agree. Within the books and within the movie, it is defined that when a reputation is drawn from the Goblet of Hearth, the magical object that chooses Triwizard champions, a “magical binding contract” is positioned upon the individual; it is strongly recommended that the penalty for breaking mentioned contract might be dying or one thing equally dire. As Redditor u/zoobatron__ responded, “No Dumbledore undoubtedly didn’t need Harry to compete however revered the rule of regulation within the state of affairs that he needed to compete (yeah I do know the “he has to compete” factor is sort of foolish). He knew somebody eager to trigger Harry hurt had put Harry’s identify in and was making an attempt to work out who it was.”
Different Redditors, like u/sT4ry_n1GhtS, did agree with the unique poster, however had one reservation: how may Dumbledore have foreseen the truth that his Protection In opposition to the Darkish Arts professor Mad-Eye Moody (Brendan Gleeson) was really Loss of life Eater Barty Crouch Jr. (David Tennant) all alongside, who was working behind the scenes for Voldemort? “I believe you can be onto one thing, as within the books, it looks as if [Dumbledore] was anticipating this, however within the films, he was very offended,” they wrote. “Or at the very least he gave the impression to be so. We already know he’s an excellent actor, so it might be doubtless. I simply do not see how he may have manipulated Barty [Crouch Jr.].”
