Cut this and put it here for now. We should consider reinstating the main point minus {{natter}}, but I\'m not 100% sure this isn\'t FanDumb. Certainly, it appears to defy the AnthropicPrinciple -- which doesn\'t mean it \'\'isn\'t\'\' a Wallbanger, but does mean we have to give it extra thought.

** Voldemort didn\'t want to reveal his return until he had regained full strength and an army of followers, and also know the full prophesy. This was the main idea of Order of the Phoenix, that people didn\'t believe Voldemort was back, as he never made any direct and visable move. The plan presumably was that Harry would touch the cup (with Moody doing everything possible to make sure Harry touched it first) and be transported to the Graveyard to be used in the ritual that gave Voldemort his body back.

The fact it was a tie was not a problem, as \\\"the spair\\\" was quickly eliminated. The only thing that jepardised the plan at various stages was Harry\\\'s nobility/stupidity (although in the end it actually aided the plan, along with Cedric\\\'s own nobility).
** And \\\'\\\'when\\\'\\\' could they do that to the [=TriWizard=] Cup so that they could be sure it wouldn\\\'t activate on a tournament organizer? This borders on XanatosRoulette.
*** I think Crouch mentioned that he was the one who brought the Cup into the maze, so that\\\'s probably when he enchanted it. And Portkey can be set to activate at a specific time. And during the actual trial, he disrupted the other champions while hexing obstacles out of Harry\\\'s path to make sure that he\\\'d get to the Cup in time. As for why they didn\\\'t try something simple--well, the plot wouldn\\\'t exist.
