[edit] Always at Hogwarts?
The article says the location is at Hogwarts. Do we have any proof that the tournament is always held at Hogwarts? I thought that it rotated between the 3 schools. Thoughts? --Freakatone 00:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, it does. I've changed it, and I've also cleared up that the four participants were all part of the 1994 tournament. --Cubs Fan2007 01:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 1994?
why would it be in 1994 when the book came out after that? it might as well be in 123 bc or something Im changing it
- No, you're not changing it. For more info see Dating conventions. -- Seth Cooper Owl Post 00:30, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Gillyweed
Is the Goblet of Fire story diffrent a bit then the film? it says on "The Second Task" that Harry was woken by Dobby and given Gillyweed on the film it is Neville who gets the Gillyweed
Yes the movie is different from the book. --Profiteor

Book canon takes priority here over movie canon. You can see the part about Dobby is in the main article, while the part about Neville is mentioned under the "Behind the Scenes" section. You can read more about the policy here. - Nick O'Demus 16:49, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Inconsistency in The Goblet of Fire regarding Hagrid and the Triwizard Tournament
Dumbledore clearly states that the Triwizard Tournament hadn't been held for over a hundred years - Hagrid, a few chapters after, is excited because he didn't think he'd see another Triwizard Tournament in his life. Hagrid was born in the 20th century - this is very inconsistent, don't you think? Has J.K. Rowling commented on this?
I read the book in swedish, regrettably - could this be a bad translation? I only have the book in swedish, so I haven't read it in english.
- I remember reading about that happening to. That's an inconsistancy. --Parodist 15:38, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- I remember reading somewhere (possibly on MuggleNet, though I can't seem to find it anymore) that Hagrid meant seeing it in relation to when it was last played, not when he personally saw it last. --Cubs Fan2007 (Talk to me) 16:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, I see. He says "I never thought I'd be alive to see the Triwizard Tournament played again." He meant to see it played again for the first time in 500 years, not played again since he last saw it. Alright. Thanks for pointing that out. --Parodist 16:26, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
