The author may have chosen a maze for the third task not only because it is a difficult and interesting obstacle for the Champions to maneuver, but also for its mythic symbolism. In mythology, a labyrinth, or maze, represents a difficult challenge or quest that the hero must overcome by navigating a convoluted and dangerous path leading to its center. Magic and battling strange creatures often play a partsignificant role in these epic myths, just as it does in our story. In this task, each Champion must enter the maze alone, away from the cheering crowd; this challenge is less about competing against one's opponent than it is about overcoming personal apprehensionfrailties. That the third task starts at dusk adds an additional eerie twist, as what lies inside becomes more intangible and less definable when cloaked in nightfall. And while darkness can represent evil and oppression, it also symbolizes fear and uncertainty, which often seem magnified at night and less daunting by day. It can also represent the unknown, transition, and also life, darkness preceding birth. The maze could also be considered a metaphor for Harry's life. His late induction into the wizarding world was much like his entering the maze in twilight—it was filled with unknown, murky paths, overcomingdifficult obstacles, and occasional deadends that had to be retraced and alternate routes found. Harry also navigates a tangled personalemotional labyrinth, searching for a center that contains answers about himself, his parents, and Voldemort.
 
Cedric and Harry each represent their Houses' finest traits: Harry is a brave and resourceful Gryffindor while Cedric emodies Hufflepuff virtues of hard work, honesty, and fair play. However, throughout the Tournament, they have both shown characteristics that each House values. Harry shows integrity and fairness, first by tipping Cedric off about the Dragons, and now by insisting that he equally share the victory. Cedric has demonstrated increasing cleverness and ingenuity by quickly figuring out the Egg riddle and developing a successful strategy for the second task; here he shows great courage inside the maze. Each Champion has continually helped the other throughout the Tournament, and as they reach the Cup, both feels the other deserves to win; therefore, it is fitting that they agree to grab the Triwizard Cup together, although the result is certainly unexpected.
 
Draco speaking to his hand seems as peculiar as Mr. Crouch talking to the tree. It is unlikely that Draco is suffering from any mental incapacitymalady, however, and he is probably doingengaged in something he should not. We will learn shortly what this is, but for now, it is sufficient to know that he has something in his hand and there is a reason that he is talking to it.
 
It seems a little odd that Sirius should be telling Harry not to worry about things outside the school; that sort of insularity in a school environment happens normally anyway. However, Sirius' belief ought to be right; Dumbledore should be able to keep Harry safe.
