Dark Details From 'Goblet Of Fire' More Harrowing Than The Triwizard Tournament

Voting Rules

Vote up the darkest details from ‘GOF.’

Fans of the Harry Potter franchise can tell you a lot about the Wizarding World, from the history of Hogwarts to the most minute details of each house. Sometimes, though, these details get quite dark, as you'll see from this list about Goblet of Fire. For example, when Harry gets tortured by Voldemort, a Death Eater in the background can be seen clapping. When Barty Crouch Jr. is finally captured, notice that Snape isn't wearing his robe. That's because it was used to cover Cedric's dead body. There are even examples that occur before the movie even truly begins! Take a closer look at the Warner Bros. logo during the intro-- Nagini slithers through the WB!

    George And Fred Spot Crouch Pulling Harry Away

    From Redditor u/6Dilbo-_-Baggins:

    In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the twins are the only two paying attention after Cedric’s death. Probably the ones who told the professors!

    Snape Has No Cloak Because It Was Placed It Over Cedric's Body

    From a Former Redditor:

    In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), when Harry brings back Cedric's body, Snape covers him with his cloak, which Cedric's father then removes to look at his son. This is why Snape wasn't wearing it when they capture Barty Crouch Jr.

    Barty Sr. Notices Moody's Telling Quirk

    From Redditor u/Scoutisaspyable:

    Barty Crouch Sr. isn´t shocked by Mad-Eye Moody's mentioning of his own son, but rather because he knew something was off when Mad-Eye Moody used his son's characteristic quirk. (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, 2005)

    The Death Eater Resemble A Vile Hate Group

    From Redditor u/Tokyono:

    In Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire (2005), the Death Eaters resemble the KKK, with large pointed hats. Their design was radically changed in The Order of the Phoenix (2007). According to costume designer Jany Temime, the pointed hats were scrapped as it was very hard to fit them in shots.
