{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Intermediate Spoiler}}
 
The gold Ron pays Harry for the Omnioculars with is actually Leprechaun gold, which, unknown to either Ron and Harry, soon vanishes. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 28|Chapter 28]], Ron becomes upset when he learns it disappeared, and angry that Harry never even noticed it was gone, showing, from Ron's perspective at least, how few concerns Harry seems to have regarding money while Ron has many. The Weasley family's strained financial situation is an ongoing embarrassment and hardship to Ron, especially compared to Harry's wealth, although Harry spends relatively little on himself and collects few material possessions. Ron's comparisons are rather faulty, however. While Harry has money, which he cares little about, he lacks the loving, supportive family life Ron takes for granted, and which Harry would probably gladly give up his wealth in exchange for.
 
Quidditch champion Viktor Krum, is introduced here, and althoughthough Krum is Ron's "hero", Ron will soon feel quite differently about him in upcoming chapters.
 
Winky will haveplay 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 nearly escaped. That near-escape will be why Winky is dismissed from service. Winky's dismissal will actually prove instrumental in that secret's final and complete escape. Much of the book's remainder involves that escape's aftermath.
 
The Veela episodes with the Veela in this and the following chapters highlight Harry's and Ron's budding sexuality, as noted above. Ron will, in the next chapter, be more susceptible to the Veela's charms than Harry; this will also result in his beingbecoming infatuated with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fleur Delacour|Fleur Delacour]], a character who is later revealed to be one-quarter Veela.
 
The series' strong writing is reflected in the realistic romantic entanglements our heroes experience. Ron, clearly less emotionally mature than either Harry or Hermione, has difficulty distinguishing love from infatuation, even after the effects of Fleur's close proximity are shaken off. Harry shows equal immaturity after a crush that ignites in this book blossoms into romance in the next; he becomes infatuated with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cho Chang|Cho Chang]], a relationship that will ultimately be doomed by Harry's youthful inexperience and his inability to comprehend Cho's fragile emotional state. Most readers have either undergone similar toils, or know someone who has. In a book that emphasizes adventure and conflict, it is easy to expect that romance and the characters' similar maturation will be secondary to the plot and are only hinted at rather than written about. To the author's great credit, she realizes just how central romance is to a young man's life, whether Wizard or Muggle. By showing Harry's romantic life, along with Ron's and Hermione's, the author brings the characters properly alive, causing us to care about and relate to them even more.
 
Ludo Bagman's wagers have gone disastrously wrong, althoughthough like any good bookmaker he puts on a good face to keepplacate his clients happy. He comments that the game's outcome was totally unexpected and one that will be talked about for years (although that outcome seems to have been less surprising to the Twins, however). Finding himself deeply in the red, Ludo uses extreme measures to pay off the winning 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. 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 their winnings from Bagman. It turns out, however, that at least part of what Bagman's oweddebt to the Goblins was alsoat least partially paid off in Leprechaun gold. Throughout the book, Bagman can often be seen negotiating with Goblins about this debt and also avoiding Fred and George, who are attempting to recoupcollect their winnings.
