Re: My favourite plothole

[caffeine_buzz]

The first one, besides the obvious Plot Reasons, I would think because if Crouch just turned, say, Harry's toothbrush into a Portkey, besides the higher possibility of someone else touching it up on accident would be that Harry's absence would be immediately noticeable. Like, if Crouch made Harry's toothbrush into a Portkey and Harry went to brush his teeth and disappeared, odds are someone like Ron might be brushing his teeth with Harry at the same time or waiting for Harry to finish brushing his teeth so they could go get breakfast, and would notice rather fast that Harry had disappeared, at which point he would run and get Dumbledore. For all we know, Dumbledore's powerful enough he might be able to trace where the Portkey went to or something similar. Having it in the labyrinth means Harry's alone and no one's watching him, so his absence wouldn't be missed until it was too late.

For the second, I don't know why Harry wouldn't assume this was all a plot (though from his standpoint I can see the thought of 'Why would Death Eaters want me to join a school tournament supervised by Dumbledore where a lot of people would be watching and I likely won't die, that seems pointless') but I always figured that if your name was drawn from the goblet you had to participate. Maybe bad things happen to you if you don't, or the tournament is rendered void if all those whose names were called don't participate? Though I suppose he could've sat at the sidelines and failed every task. I'd think if there was a way for Harry to just refuse to compete then Dumbledore would've simply called shenanigans on him being chosen and pulled him from the tournament so the other schools wouldn't complain.
