As the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Third Task|Third Task]] comes to a close, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cedric Diggory|Cedric]] agree to touch the Triwizard Trophy at the same instant, thus closing the Task with a draw between the two of them. The trophy, however, is a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Portkey|Portkey]], which transports Harry and Cedric to a graveyard. As a mysterious figure approaches the boys carrying something, Harry's scar pains him so greatly that he drops his wand. The approaching person [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Avada Kedavra|kills]] Cedric, and binds Harry to a nearby gravestone.

Ignoring Pettigrew's suffering, Voldemort uses the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dark Mark|Dark Mark]] on Pettigrew's arm to summon his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Death Eaters|Death Eaters]]. Some he tortures for daring to suppose him gone forever, Pettigrew, for his loyalty, he rewards with a new, magically strong silver hand to replace the one he cut off. In answer to a question from a Death Eater speaking with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lucius Malfoy|Lucius Malfoy]]'s voice, Voldemort explains where he had been, how he had survived, and how he had arranged for Harry's presence. He then directs Pettigrew to release Harry and give him his wand back.

Instantly, Harry's and Voldemort's wands are joined by a band of golden light, and the two combatants are lifted into the air and set down some distance away from the jeering Death Eaters, as a dome of light forms around them. Harry's wand is heating up and vibrating dreadfully. Harry notices some beads of light on the link between the two wands, and something tells him that they should not reach his wand. Concentrating, he forces them away from his wand tip and towards Voldemort's. As the first bead of light is forced into it, Voldemort's wand screams, and the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ghost#Shades|shade]] of Cedric emerges.
Confused, the Death Eaters mill around the outside of the dome, asking what they should do; Voldemort, looking fearful, tells them to stay away, while the shade of Cedric wanders around the inside of the dome. Harry, still concentrating on the link between the wands, forces more beads into Voldemort's wand. Each bead results in another scream, fiercer vibration, and the appearance of another shade:
At the signal, Harry jerks his wand upwards, breaking the link, and the golden dome vanishes. Harry sees the shades gathering around Voldemort, and runs, dodging through the headstones, to where Cedric's body lies. Once there, he [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Accio|summons]] the Cup, which takes him, with Cedric's body, back to the Third Task maze.
In the confusion following Harry's return, Harry is taken to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Alastor Moody|Professor Moody]]'s office. There, Moody questions him about what had happened while he was away from the school. Harry becomes concerned as Moody's questions seem to be more about Voldemort's interactions with the Death Eaters, than about Voldemort's return; and finally, Moody reveals that he is a Death Eater, and that he plans to kill Harry to gain greater glory in Voldemort's eyes. As Moody is preparing for the wand strike, however, the door is broken down, and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Stupefy|Stuns]] Moody, then enters the room along with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Professor Snape]]. Moody, who has apparently forgotten his dose of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Polyjuice Potion|Polyjuice potion]], transforms into his real
Dumbledore then takes Harry to his own office, where, with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius]] present for support, and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fawkes|Fawkes]] providing healing tears, Harry relates the events of the duel. Dumbledore seems pleased that Voldemort had used Harry's blood for his reanimation, but does not say why.

== Analysis ==
It is a characteristic of heroic fiction like the Harry Potter series that the hero and the villain should face each other multiple times over the story arc, with each exhibiting more power each encounter until the final one. In most heroic fiction, the hero is defeated and has to recover from his initial defeat, thus creating the upward arc of his powers. In the Harry Potter series, the villain was defeated off-stage initially, and has to recover, while the largely powerless hero has to literally grow into his strength. This minor difference makes Harry's maturing and increasing power seem organic, a natural consequence of his growing up physically, and avoids the plot contrivance of an initial battle which the hero loses but somehow survives.
A key component of this ongoing increase in power is that the hero's strength, and thus the villain's, must be tested. Throughout the series, there will be encounters between Harry and Voldemort, to illustrate that their abilities are increasing at approximately equivalent rates. In this particular instance, we see that Harry is now certainly strong enough to stand against a re-embodied Voldemort, but that it is a very close-run thing.

{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Intermediate Spoiler}}
Cedric's death will make the school [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Thestral|Thestrals]] visible to Harry. This will alarm him; they are not the most prepossessing of beasts at any time, and Harry will wonder whether these are Dark creatures, and whether their visibility to him, and not to either Ron or Hermione, is a sign of him going insane. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Luna Lovegood|Luna Lovegood]]'s reassurance that she also can see them will hardly be reassuring to Harry, given Luna's evident eccentricity.
Dumbledore later says that, in fact, during the battle in the cemetery, Harry was a stronger wizard than Voldemort, because, while Voldemort saw death and feared it, Harry saw death and was ready for it. Harry being ready to die, if need be, gave him strength that Voldemort could not draw upon. This will be unexpected to the reader, who at this point is still fixated on Dumbledore as being "the only one he [Voldemort] ever feared;" the revelation that Harry was actually the stronger wizard at this point will be something of a surprise when it is made, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 35|in the final book]].
The effect of Harry's wand on Voldemort's will result in Voldemort spending significant time trying to find a wand that can defeat Harry's. He will, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|the seventh book]], chase a possibly mythical wand, the so-called Deathstick. As part of this process, Voldemort will have [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ollivander|Mr. Ollivander]] kidnapped, will borrow Lucius Malfoy's wand and have it destroyed in his hand, and will hunt down the wandmaker [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gregorovitch|Gregorovitch]], the evil magician [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gellert Grindelwald|Grindelwald]], and end up at Dumbledore's tomb hunting the wand.
As a result of Harry's wand apparently independently destroying Malfoy's wand in Voldemort's hand, Harry will similarly place an almost mystical weight on his own wand, and will become despondent when it is destroyed accidentally.
We will learn later that Harry's faith in his own wand, and Voldemort's fear of it, are justified. As Harry was the stronger wizard in their duel, some of Voldemort's wand's power, and in fact some of Voldemort's power, will have transferred to Harry and his wand. However, Dumbledore will tell Harry that this power would only be exerted against Voldemort and the wand he carried. Harry's wand will have not only recognized Voldemort's wand as its kin, by way of the matching wand cores, but will have recognized Voldemort as Harry's kin, by their shared blood. Because of this, Harry's wand will apparently act independently to some degree to prevent Voldemort from attacking Harry again. We see this in the opening chapters of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 4|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']]. Here, without his willing it, Harry's wand takes action against Voldemort and the wand he is holding, which was Lucius Malfoy's. We also see that the strength in Harry's wand is proof only against Voldemort, as it is, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 17|later in that same book]], accidentally destroyed by a spell cast by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]].
