[[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/Percy Weasley|Percy]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Charlie Weasley|Charlie]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bill Weasley|Bill]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arthur Weasley|Mr. Weasley]] make their way through the woods. After a twenty-minute walk, they reach the stadium. It is large enough to hold one hundred thousand spectators. Taking a full year to construct, every inch is charmed to be [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Muggle|Muggle]]-repelling. Their tickets are for the Top Box, as high as they can go. They are the first there, except for a single [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/House Elf|house-elf]]. Harry thinks it is [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dobby|Dobby]], but the elf identifies itself as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Winky|Winky]], and belongsbelonging to the Crouch family. Winky knows Dobby, and says he is having a hard time because he wants to be paid for his work. "House-elves are not for paying, sir." Winky says she is holding a seat for Mr. Crouch, although she is afraid of heights.
 
People are filing into the Top Box: the Bulgarian dignitaries, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cornelius Fudge|the Minister for Magic]], and finally [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lucius Malfoy|Lucius Malfoy]], with his wife [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Narcissa Malfoy|Narcissa]] and son [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco]]. Mr. Malfoy has just made a large donation to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries|St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries]] and is there as Cornelius Fudge's guest.

The team mascots perform before the game starts. First up are the Bulgarians. Beautiful [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Veela|Veela]], infinitely alluring women, dance on the pitch. Every male is seized by a temptation to do something to show off. Harry decides that a swan dive from the Top Box to the field would be a reasonable way to ensure them noticing him. Luckily, Hermione and Mr. Weasley (who has seen them before), manage to restrain him and Ron, who apparently has the same urge. Next, the Irish mascots perform. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Leprechaun|Leprechauns]] fly in showering the stands with gold coins and forming green Irish symbols in the sky. Ron gathers up a fistful of fallen [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Money|Galleons]] and gives them to Harry to pay for the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Omnioculars|Omnioculars]].
 
With the mascots arrayed on the sidelines, the Bulgarian team enters to applause and dancing. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Viktor Krum|Viktor Krum]], the Bulgarian Seeker, receives special note, and is one of Ron's heroes, receives special note. The Irish team enters, and the game is on. The action is so fast that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ludovic Bagman|Ludo Bagman]], who is announcing, can barely name the player holding the Quaffle before it is passed or stolen. Even Harry, with his Omnioculars set on Slow, is having trouble following the action. It is a very instructional game for Harry, watching every move the Seekers make and watching the Chasers as they work like three parts of a single machine. In the end, an injured Krum beats the Irish Seeker to grab the Snitch, making the final score Ireland 170, Bulgaria 160. After the presentation of the Cup and the victory laps (spectators give Krum the loudest applause of all), the Twins brace Ludo Bagman for their winnings.
 
== Analysis ==
 
Harry and Ron's budding sexuality is hinted at here when both become deeply affected by the beautiful and alluring Veela women. Their, as well as their peers, initial interest in the opposite sex continually develops throughout the series, withas bothdoes humorousthat andof poignanttheir outcomes.peers Harryat and Ron will pursue several relationshipsschool, althoughwith Ron,both somewhat less sophisticatedhumorous and maturepoignant than Harry and Hermione, will have a particularly difficult time understanding romanceoutcomes. Harry is also awkward and insecure, however, and he, Ron, and the other students have not yet learned the difference between true love and mere infatuation, or how jealousy and sexual politics further complicates relationships. Also, although Harry, Ron, and virtually every other male in the stands are deeply affected by the seductive Veela, Harry is shocked when he later sees that their true physical form is actually unattractive, sporting angular bird-like facial features and scaly wings. Harry is gradually learning that outer beauty is not only superficial, but it can also mask an uglier reality.
 
Ron's insistence on paying Harry for the Omnioculars, even though Harry gave them as a gift, is a matter of deep pride to Ron, whose family can barely afford minimal necessities. Ron must often do without even the smallest luxuries or extras that most take for granted. Now he feels somewhat vindicated that, for once, he is able to pay his own way with the gold the Leprechauns tossed into the stands. However, Ron's gesture will later backfire and cause him additional distress and embarrassment, as well as affect his friendship with Harry. But even though Ron is often resentful that he must often go without, it has actually shaped his character in a positive way. As Ron matures, he will never feel that life owes him anything; he will accept that if he wants anything, he must earn it himself. This is a stark contrast to many Slytherins who believe they are entitled to whatever they want based solely on what they consider is their superior lineage, social rank, and wealth, rather than through talent, ability, and hard work. Readers will recall that Draco Malfoy became the Slytherin Seeker (in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 7|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']]) after his father, Lucius Malfoy, bought the team new broomsticks, and apparently not because Draco earned the position on his abilities.
 
While sitting in the stands, Harry also notices Crouch's House-elf, Winky, who, in the next chapter, will play a significant role in the plot.

Quidditch champion Viktor Krum, is introduced here, and although Krum is Ron's "hero", Ron will soon feel quite differently about him in upcoming chapters.
 
Winky will have a large role to play in the next few chapters. Mr. Crouch has been hiding a secret, with Winky's active help, for many years at this point, and that secret has almost escaped. It is because of that near-escape that Winky will be dismissed from service. Winky's dismissal will actually prove instrumental in the final and complete escape of that secret. A large part of the remainder of the book will be dealing with the results of that escape.
Ludo Bagman's wagers have gone disastrously wrong, although like any good bookmaker he puts on a good face to keep his clients happy. He comments that the game's outcome was totally unexpected and one that will be talked about for years (although the outcome seems to have been less surprising to the Twins). Finding himself deeply in the red, Ludo uses extreme measures to pay off bettors. It is revealed in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 37|Chapter 37]] that he pays off the Twins with Leprechaun gold, which, as noted above, soon vanishes. He also owes a large sum to high-ranking Goblins, which was also partially paid off in Leprechaun gold. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 9|Chapter 9]], as Harry wanders through the forest, he passes Goblins who are counting their gold and chuckling; this is presumably winnings from Bagman. Throughout the book, Bagman can often be seen negotiating with Goblins about this debt and also avoiding Fred and George, who are attempting to recoup their winnings.▼
 
The episodes with the Veela in this and the following chapters serve to highlight Harry and Ron's budding sexuality, as noted above. Ron will, in the next chapter, turn out to be more susceptible to the charms of the Veela than Harry; this will also result in his being infatuated with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fleur Delacour|Fleur Delacour]], a character who will turn out to be one-quarter Veela.
 
One of the strengths of the writing in this series is the realism of the romantic entanglements that our heroes get involved in. Ron, clearly less mature emotionally than either Harry or Hermione, remains unable to distinguish love from infatuation even after he has shaken off most of the effects of his proximity to Fleur. Harry equally shows signs of immaturity, with the relationship he will be involved with in this and the next books; he will be infatuated with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cho Chang|Cho Chang]], a romance that will ultimately be doomed by his youth. Every reader has either gone through similar toils on his or her own, or knows someone who has. In a book like this, where the emphasis is on the adventure and the conflict, it is easy to think that romance and similar maturation of the characters are secondary and can be hinted at rather than written. It is vastly to the author's credit that she realizes just how central to the young man's life romance is, whether he is Wizard or Muggle. By showing us Harry's romantic life, along with Ron's and Hermione's, the author brings the characters properly to life, making them even more people that we care about.
