At the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Yule Ball|Yule Ball]], Crouch is absent; Percy Weasley has taken his place, saying that Mr. Crouch is tired and is staying at home. He is sending instructions by Owl Post, and Percy is just glad that Crouch has an assistant that he can trust enough that he can get the rest he needs. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] suggests that he wouldn't be so tired if he hadn't summarily and unjustly fired his Elf; Percy tries to defend Crouch's actions.
Percy is again substituting for Mr. Crouch at the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Second Task|Second Task]]. Shortly afterwards, Harry, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]], and Hermione visit [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius Black]], who is living in a cave near [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogsmeade|Hogsmeade]] with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Buckbeak|Buckbeak]]. Sirius says that it is very unusual for Mr. Crouch to be taking a vacation; he was always very dedicated to his work at the Ministry. Sirius also says that it was at Mr. Crouch's direction that he was kept in Azkaban Prison for twelve years without a trial.
In late May, Harry is taken aside by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Viktor Krum|Viktor Krum]] for a private conversation under the eaves of the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Forbidden Forest|Forbidden Forest]]. As they finish their conversation, a disheveled Mr. Crouch appears, talking to the trees, and in apparent sane moments demanding to see Dumbledore. Leaving Krum to guard him, Harry runs off to collect Dumbledore, an action which is delayed by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Professor Snape]]. By the time Dumbledore and Harry return to the Forbidden Forest, Krum has been Stunned and Mr. Crouch is gone.

== Strengths ==
Although it is hard to say what Mr. Crouch Senior would be like, due to his presence in ''Harry Potter and the
Mr. Crouch does seem to eventually be able to throw off the Imperius Curse, partially or completely, though it seems that either that, or some other restraint applied to him, resulted in his being driven at least partially insane.
== Weaknesses ==
While, as mentioned above, Mr. Crouch does free his son from Azkaban at his late wife's request, he cannot forgive Barty to the extent of allowing him any freedom; though removed from the Dementors, Barty remains restrained by the Imperius curse placed on him by Mr. Crouch and by the efforts of the House-elf Winky. Mr. Crouch's love of his wife in this case could be seen as a weakness, as it impels Crouch to act against his own interests. Compassion also causes Mr. Crouch to allow Barty to attend the Quidditch World Cup, a choice which results in Mr. Crouch's capture and eventual death at his son's hand.
Mr. Crouch's severity and officiousness could also be seen as a weakness, as it prevents his showing mercy to any accused. It also leads him, presumably, to preside over the trial of his son, where a more just prosecutor would recuse himself to avoid even the appearance of partiality.
== Relationships With Other Characters ==
Mr. Crouch's severity extends to his own family, where he is seen to prosecute his own son, being instrumental in committing him to Azkaban. Yet he loves his wife enough to accede to her dying wish that Barty should be freed from Azkaban. Placed in an untenable conflict, being aware that Barty is guilty and unrepentant, Crouch resorts to keeping Barty under house arrest, using the Imperius Curse and the actions of the house-elf Winky. When this is discovered by Bertha Jorkins, Mr. Crouch destroys her memory of the event, possibly rendering her memory permanently unreliable.
Mr. Crouch's severity and officiousness is seen here as the dominant part of his personality, preventing him from getting close to anyone – he addresses Percy Weasley, his own assistant, as "Weatherby". We have no idea whether this is a defence mechanism intended to prevent further revelations of Barty's existence, or whether this is the way he has always been; but it would seem that if it is a conscious defence mechanism, it is simply an increase in degree from his normal personality.
