Revision as of 20:52, 12 January 2011
The golden egg was a magical device and the goal of the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament. It was about the size of a regular dragon egg and placed among the female dragons' eggs, where Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour, Cedric Diggory, and Harry Potter had to retrieve them.
The eggs contained disembodied merpeople voices singing a song to the champions, letting them know that they had to come to lake and rescue something very valuable to them, which turned out to be a person very close to each of the champions. As the voices were those of merfolk, they could only be understood underwater. If opened in open air, the egg would screech and make a horrible racket.
Harry Potter spent weeks working on his egg. He did not figure out the clue until he took the advice of Cedric Diggory and "took a bath" with the egg. With the urging of Moaning Myrtle, Harry opened it up underwater. After some contemplation, he asked Myrtle if there were merpeople in the Black Lake. When she confirmed this information, Harry got out of the bath and headed back to the Gryffindor Common Room. Along the way he dropped his egg after seeing "Bartemius Crouch" on the Marauder's Map, which he assumed to be Barty Crouch Sr. Caretaker Argus Filch found the egg and, because Harry was under his Invisibility cloak, assumed that Peeves had stolen it. The egg was returned to Harry after Professor Moody, who was really Barty Crouch Jr., secured the egg from Filch.
The egg's clue
Come seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing above the ground,
And while you're searching ponder this;
We've taken what you'll sorely miss,
An hour long you'll have to look,
And to recover what we took,
But past an hour, the prospect's black,
Too late it's gone, it won't come back.
