[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fred and George Weasley|the Twins]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arthur Weasley|Mr. Weasley]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cedric Diggory|Cedric Diggory]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Amos Diggory|Amos Diggory]] arrive in what looks like a deserted, misty moor. Two tired and grumpy looking Wizards are there. Mr. Weasley greets one as "Basil", and hands him the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Portkey|Portkey]], which is tossed into a large box with other Portkeys. Basil tells them where their campsite is; the Diggorys are at a different camp site. The campsite owner, a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Muggle|Muggle]] named Roberts, mentions that the people renting the spaces seem odd. As he expounds on this, a harassed-looking Wizard pops in and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Obliviate|modifies his memory]]. Roberts dreamily gives Mr. Weasley his change and a map of the campsite. The Wizard comments that Mr. Roberts needs to be charmed ten times a day, and that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ludovic Bagman|Ludo Bagman]] is not helping by bouncing around and talking about Bludgers and Quaffles.
 
The Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione head for their campsite. On the way, Ginny comments that if Bagman is head of Magical Games and Sports, he should certainly know better than to talk about magical things near [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Muggle|Muggles]]. Mr. Weasley agrees, Bagman has always been rather lax about security. It seems to be a common failing, though, as on their way through the campground, they pass numerous tents far more spectacular than anything sold in Muggle stores. Mr. Weasley remarks that when large group of Wizards are together, they cannot resist showing off a little. They find their campsite, and Mr. Weasley asks Harry's advice on how to proceed. Harry, of course, has never been camping, but manages to figure things out, eventually setting up two shabby two-man tents. Harry wonders how they will all fit, but when he enters one, the tent opens into a large, three-room apartment complete with a kitchen, and furnished like [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arabella Figg|Mrs. Figg]]'s house, right down to the cat smell.
 
Mr. Weasley sends Ron, Harry, and Hermione for water. On the way they meet some fellow students. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Oliver Wood|Oliver Wood]] drags them off to meet his parents and tells them he has just been signed to the Puddlemere United Quidditch team. They also see [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ernie Macmillan|Ernie Macmillan]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cho Chang|Cho Chang]]. Harry notices some strange teenagers and asks where they are from. Ron says they must be from some other Wizarding school. There are several in Europe, and Charlie has been corresponding with someone in Brazil. Back at the campsite, Mr. Weasley finally manages to light the fire. They have just started cooking breakfast when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Percy Weasley|Percy]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Charlie Weasley|Charlie]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bill Weasley|Bill]] walk in from the woods where they just [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Apparation|Apparated]].

== Analysis ==
 
To date, Harry's interaction with the Wizarding community has been rather limited, mostly confined to Hogwarts and short trips to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogsmeade|Hogsmeade Village]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Diagon Alley|Diagon Alley]]. Now Harry meets foreign Wizards in an international setting for the first time, though it seems he has given little consideration to magical realms outside Britain. Indeed, Harry seems surprised to encounter teen-aged Wizards unknown to him, or that other Wizarding schools even exist. Although the Quidditch World Cup is a global competition among rival teams, we can also see here that it is meant to serve another function: to help build solidarity and cooperation among the world's Wizards.
 
The rather flamboyant Ludo Bagman and the bureaucratic Barty Crouch, Sr. are highlighted and contrasted here. Their personalities, personal interactions, and mannerisms could not be more different, though both work for the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] and are heavily involved in running the Quidditch World Cup. Bagman is not averse to what the English call, "having a little flutter"," and he is apparently engaging in a sideline (and presumably illegal) gambling racket. Readers probably know that a "bagman" is a dishonest official, someone who collects racketeering money. It is also a traveling salesman who makes calls to his customers. The name certainly fits, though Bagman appears to be a small-time operator when it comes to his sideline activities. From his reaction when the Twins place their bet, it can be seen that Ludo is perhaps not making as good odds as he expected and may even have doubts regarding his own abilities. It is possible that this will get him into trouble shortly. And where Bagman is overly open and friendly, although it is mostly a façade for his clients' benefit, Crouch remains tense, aloof, and guarded, always interacting with others in a professional but brusque and detached manner. Crouch is so lacking in interpersonal skills that he continually fails to recognize his own employee, Percy Weasley. Crouch appears to be concealing much about his personal self, while Bagman seems to hide little, though perhaps he should. Even Ginny Weasley notices that Bagman freely dispenses too much information to too many people.
 
In the interaction between Arthur Weasley and the campground owner, we see plainly that despite the adjuration from the Ministry for Wizards to behave like Muggles, much magic is leaking through the seams. The Ministry's need to frequently modify the poor man's memory, even in the match's early stages, might lead one to wonder as to just how he will remember this episode and what the long-term affects might be. Also, Mr. Weasley's difficulty using Muggle camping gear is played largely for entertainment value; however, it also contrasts the differences between Ron's purely magical family and Harry's entirely Muggle home. Interestingly, when Mr. Weasley has a question about how to do Muggle things, he asks Harry, rather than Hermione. Perhaps he fails to realize that Harry's home life could possibly be as constricted as the Dursleys have made it. On the other hand, there is a common Muggle bias that girls are less interested or capable in recreational activities like camping. If this same belief is present in the Wizarding world, this may explain why Mr. Weasley assumes Harry to be the outdoors expert, rather than Hermione, who may have camping experience.

Bertha Jorkins' continued absence reinforces the suggestion that Harry's "dream" in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 1|Chapter 1]] was a true vision. It also establishes her association with the Department of Magical Games and Sports, and this could be a means that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]] uses to tune in to upcoming events throughout the book.
 
Bagman's mention of events planned at Hogwarts finally gives Percy the chance he has been waiting for, to show his own importance by refusing to reveal the secret that he so obviously knows. It is safe to assume that secret will not remain concealed for long, and that it probably has something to do with the main plot line of the book.
 
As an interesting side note unrelated to the book's plot, among the magical citizens attending the World Cup are American Wizards from Salem, Massachusetts, the site of the infamous 1692 Witch trials in which nineteen men and women were condemned and hanged for witchcraft.

Though [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arabella Figg|Mrs. Figg]] will play a significant, and unexpected, role later in the series, Harry noticing that the tent's interior looks and smells much like her house may or may not be incidental. There is a certain odour that seems common to older peoples' homes, particularly those owning cats, and, despite the similarity, it is unlikely that the author is dropping hints that Mrs. Figg was the tent's former owner. We are told that it previously belonged to a Ministry Wizard who gave up camping due to his lumbago. Among other things, it is also doubtful that a Wizard would marry a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Squib|Squib]], though they are known to wed Muggles. Ron once mentioned that Wizards probably would have died out if they had not inter-married with non-magical humans. On the other hand, Mrs. Figg, being a Squib, was raised among Wizards and knows their ways. She likely uses the same goods, merchandise, and decorations in her home that are found in Wizarding households. Harry had previously noticed that peculiar smell in Mrs. Figg's residence, and the familiar odour in the tent may be a subtle clue to readers that Mrs. Figg is tied to the magical community. Readers should take note, though Harry will not, when Dumbledore later mentions someone named Arabella Figg.
 
Mr. Crouch's continual failure to recognize Percy Weasley, his own employee, may have some magical reason. However, the author never fully answers this. We will discoverlater find that Mr. Crouch is labouring under a spell that could cause this effect. However, this chapter precedes that spell being invoked. Given that, it is more likely that it is simple absent-mindedness coupled with a total diregarddisregard for subordinates; Crouch simply fails to notice his underlings, in this case "Weatherby".
 
Ludo's "little flutter" will, indeed, turn out to be ill-advised. Ludo will end up owing more than he has, and later tries to recoup his losses by making more bets with the Goblins, who are his major creditors. That bet will be on Harry to win the Triwizard Tournament, and throughout the book, Ludo, a Tournament judge, will unethically try to better his chances of winning by secretly offering Harry hints. Harry, believing that accepting assistance from a Tournament judge is cheating, steadfastly refuses Ludo's proffered advice, though he does accept help from others.

Mr. Weasley's asking Harry, rather than Hermione, for help with the camping gear will be even less well-advised than we had previously expected. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], Hermione mentions that the places she takes the Trio to are actually camping sites she and her parents visited; of course, Harry has never been camping, as the Dursleys would dislike the untidiness of an unmanicured outdoors, nor would Harry likely have been included even if they did engage in such activities.
 
The Quidditch World Cup is a means for Wizards from multiple countries to gather together, establishing communications between the magical communities of various nations. We will see this same opportunity is soon brought to Hogwarts on a much smaller scale with the Triwizard Tournament, though we, Harry, and most other students, are as yet unaware. The secret that Percy so archly refuses to reveal will be this tournament, of course. We will find out shortly that all of the Weasley elders are aware of the Tournament plans. It is interesting to contrast Mr. Weasley's handling of the knowledge with Percy's. Likely the secret will have reached Bill, Charlie, and Molly Weasley through Arthur; Percy may have learned it through Arthur as well, or through Mr. Crouch. Whatever its source, Percy continually alludes to the secret in the apparent hope that he will be able to refuse to divulge it. Arthur, though privy to the secret, never mentions it and does not respond when Percy does. Molly, Charlie, and Bill do eventually mention it, but not until it is too late for questions; we must assume that this is a deliberate revelation by the author, intended to heighten anticipation for the events, whatever they may turn out to be.
