== Synopsis ==
{{spoiler}}
 
Reappearing at the maze's edge, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] finds himself overwhelmed by noise, but still clutching the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Triwizard Tournament|Triwizard cup]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cedric Diggory|Cedric]]'s body. Amidst the confusion and shouts that Diggory is dead, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cornelius Fudge|the Minister for Magic]] claims that Cedric is only injured, while [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] tells Harry to stay put. Dazed, someone lifts Harry and walks him to the Castle. As they enter the school, Harry realizes [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Alastor Moody|Professor Moody]] is guiding him to his office. Once inside, Moody begins asking about [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]]'s return. Harry remembers that he must tell Dumbledore that there is a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Death Eaters|Death Eater]] at Hogwarts who put Harry's name in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Goblet of Fire|Goblet of Fire]]. Harry guesses it is [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Igor Karkaroff|Karkaroff]], but he ran off when the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dark Mark|Dark Mark]] on his arm flared up. Incredibly, Moody tells Harry that it was he who placed Harry's name in the Goblet. Moody wants to know if Voldemort has forgiven those Death Eaters who failed to search for him, but Harry, still stunned by this revelation, is unable to answer. Harry, disbelieving, listens as Moody recounts how he entered Harry's name in the Goblet, nudged [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] into showing Harry the dragons, and gave Harry the hint on how to beat them. Moody gave [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville]] the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Herbology|Herbology]] book containing information Harry needed for the Second Task, and when that failed, had made sure [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dobby|Dobby]] passed it on. And in the Third Task, Moody [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Stupefy|Stunned]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fleur Delacour|Fleur Delacour]] and put [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Viktor Krum|Krum]] under the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Imperio|Imperius curse]] to eliminate Cedric.
 
Harry sees three approaching figures in Moody's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Foe Glass|Foe-Glass]], although Moody, focused on Harry, fails to notice; he says he will be the Dark Lord's most trusted servant after killing Harry Potter, who the Dark Lord has wanted dead for so long. As he raises his wand to cast the fatal spell, the door behind Harry explodes inwards. Moody is [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Stupefy|Stunned]] and falls to the floor. Professor Dumbledore, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]], and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Professor Snape]] rush in. Dumbledore overrules McGonagall, who wants Harry to go the hospital wing, saying Harry needs to know that this Alastor Moody is an impostor. Snape is sent to fetch truth serum and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Winky|Winky]] from the kitchen, while McGonagall is dispatched to take the large black dog in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]]'s pumpkin patch to Dumbledore's office. Moody's trunk is opened, revealing multiple compartments within. The true Alastor Moody is trapped inside the last one. Stunned and under the Imperius curse, he is weak but still alive. Examining the impostor's hip flask reveals it contains [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Polyjuice Potion|Polyjuice Potion]]. The false Moody begins transforming into his true identity—[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Barty Crouch Jr.|Barty Crouch Jr.]]
 
Snape arrives with the serum and Winky, and McGonagall returns immediately after. Winky, certain Barty is dead, is hardly reassured when Dumbledore says he is only stunned. Dumbledore pours the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Veritaserum|Veritaserum]], the same potion Snape threatened Harry with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 27|earlier]], into Barty's mouth and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Enervate|resuscitates]] him. Crouch confesses his part in the past year's events. It was [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bartemius Crouch Sr.|Bartemius Crouch, Sr.]] and his wife who instigated Barty Jr.'s escape from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Azkaban|Azkaban]]. Mrs. Crouch was terminally ill, and as her dying wish, asked Bartemius to free Barty from prison. While visiting their son in prison, she and Barty Jr. switched identities using Polyjuice potion. Mrs. Crouch died soon after (that is who [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius]] saw the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dementor|Dementors]] burying). Although Barty Jr. was freed, his father kept him at his home concealed under an [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Invisibility Cloak|Invisibility Cloak]] and controlled by the Imperius curse to prevent him returning to Voldemort. Winky, the Crouch's House-elf, helped care for him. When [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bertha Jorkins|Bertha Jorkins]], who worked for Bartemius, unexpectedly visited the Crouch home while Bartemius was gone, she discovered Barty Jr. was being hidden there. Bartemius cast a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Obliviate|memory charm]] on Jorkins to erase what she knew. She was soon transferred to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ludovic Bagman|Ludo Bagman]]'s department, but the charm caused continuing memory problems.
 
Winky prevailed upon Bartemius Crouch Sr. to allow Barty to go to the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Quidditch World Cup|Quidditch World Cup]], hidden under an Invisibility Cloak. However, he managed to escape both Bartemius' and Winky's control, stole a wand (Harry's), and cast [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Morsmordre|the Dark Mark]]. Bartemius, as a result, dismissed Winky and recaptured Barty, returning him to the Crouch home and restraining him more forcefully. Bertha, meanwhile, had gone to Albania on vacation and run into [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peter Pettigrew|Wormtail]], who brought her to Voldemort. Voldemort unlocked the memory charm and discovered that Barty Jr. had escaped Azkaban and was captive in his father's home. He also learned about the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Triwizard Tournament|Triwizard Tournament]] and devised the plot to capture Harry. After murdering Jorkins, Wormtail and Voldemort traveled to London. They freed Barty Jr. and placed Bartemius under an Imperius spell, forcing him to continue his work as if nothing was wrong. Barty Jr. and Wormtail then captured the real Mad-Eye Moody and placed him under the Imperius spell; Barty Jr. used Polyjuice Potion to assume Moody's identity, while Moody was kept alive to supply his hair for more potion and provide Barty with information. Barty procured potion ingredients from Snape's office, claiming he (as Moody) was under orders to search it. When Voldemort judged it was no longer safe to allow people to see Bartemius Crouch, he imprisoned Crouch Sr. in his own home. The Ministry of Magic, meanwhile, believed Crouch Sr. was home sick and sending instructions by owl post to his assistant, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Percy Weasley|Percy Weasley]]. But Wormtail "neglected his duty." When Crouch Sr. was able to break Wormtail's Imperius spell and escape to Hogwarts to warn Dumbledore, Barty Jr. tracked his father using Harry's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 26|previously borrowed]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Marauder's Map|Marauder's Map]], murdered him, and hid the body.
 
Finally, Barty admits that, while he was placing the Triwizard Cup inside the maze, he had charmed it into a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Portkey|Portkey]] that transported Harry to the Dark Lord; Voldemort will now honor him above all other wizards.
 
== Analysis ==
 
The Veritaserum has revealed many truths. And while this chapter solves many mysteries regarding Harry and Voldemort, it also reveals just how vulnerable Harry actually is. The comforting notion throughout the series that Harry is protected as long as he is within Hogwarts's secure walls has been forever dispelled by Barty Crouch's clever deception that allowed him direct access to Harry. From here on, Harry will have difficulty finding a completely safe haven. Now that Voldemort has fully regained his body, he will likely execute another attack on Harry as soon as possible. Voldemort's power will begin spreading as well, quietly and methodically seeping into nearly all wizarding areas, taking hold in key institutions until he has gained control.
 
Also, Harry's earlier wish to compete as a Triwizard Champion came to fruition, but the experience was far from what he could have imagined. Now Harry must cope with the tragic aftermath, forever haunted by knowing that rather than being the celebrated hero, he was instead duped and manipulated into a false victory that cost Cedric Diggory his life. Harry had also placed his trust and admiration in (the fake) Alastor Moody, but having been so horribly deceived, he may never again ever fully trust anyone to be who or what he seems. Harry's relationship with Dumbledore may also be affected. Dumbledore has always seemed invincible, but his failure to detect Barty Crouch and to fully protect Harry exposes a chink in his otherwise infallible power. As the newly reborn Voldemort gains strength, is Dumbledore growing weaker with age? It is unclear if that is what is happening here, but Dumbledore failing to anticipate someone being able to breach Hogwarts' tight security is surprising, especially considering how both Sirius Black (on multiple occasions in ''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'') and, more recently, Rita Skeeter so easily slipped into the castle undetected. In fact, Harry has never truly been completely safe at Hogwarts, only safer.
 
Cornelius Fudge, meanwhile, ineptly attempts to implement damage control, claiming Cedric is not dead, merely injured. While he may be attempting to shield the Diggorys, feeling it would be inappropriate to inform them their son is dead when such a large audience is present, he is also protecting his and the Ministry's public image. This attempt to either spin or minimize bad news reappears in the next chapter.
 
It is also interesting that Barty Jr., as Professor Moody, taught students how to repel an Imperius curse, which he presumably mastered while detained in his father's house. As reprehensible and evil as Crouch Jr. was, he was apparently a good [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Defence Against the Dark Arts|Defence Against the Dark Arts]] teacher, although almost certainly some of his Defence information was forced from the real Alastor Moody, who was kept captive in his office.
 
One thing that has troubled some readers is that this seems an extremely convoluted plan, with multiple points of failure, to achieve one objective: the arrival of Harry Potter, alone, in the graveyard at Little Hangleton at a specific time. Having managed to win Dumbledore's trust, the false Moody could have, at any time, given Harry an object that was a Portkey. Clearly, this would have caused some problem for the author, as the series quite plainly is designed to cover the seven years of Harry's education, with a climax coming at or near the end of each school year. The author must have determined some reason that Voldemort would have chosen so involved a plan for such a simple outcome, in order to make her story timing work. While her reasons are never revealed, we can make a guess. Voldemort seems to be a particularly vindictive sort of person; we have seen him torturing his own followers because of real or imagined slights. It seems entirely likely that Voldemort would be amused by bringing Harry to defeat and death immediately after he had won a major competition, particularly if Harry was made aware that his winning the competition had been engineered, and that he had not won it by his own efforts at all. In this light, the only thing that is surprising is that it was not Voldemort who told Harry this, but Moody / Barty.
