The TERRIFYING Triwizard Tournament of 1792 - Harry Potter Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Hey everyone,
Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In today’s video, we’re going to be discussing a piece of Hogwarts history - the triwizard tournament. More specifically, we’re going to be diving all the way back to the year 1792- the last year that the tournament ran before 1994- when Harry ends up participating. The tournament dates back 700 years in total, and managed to run uninhibited until 1792. So, what prompted this 200 year hiatus? Let’s start with a bit of history:
“The Triwizard Tournament was first established some seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest European schools of wizardry: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. A champion was selected to represent each school, and the three champions competed in three magical tasks. The schools took it in turns to host the tournament once every five years, and it was generally agreed to be a most excellent way of establishing ties between young witches and wizards of different nationalities”.
The triwizard tournament certainly becomes an integral part of the Harry Potter story, and is a main plot driver in the Goblet of Fire. We see Harry and the other champions fighting for their school’s honour, competing in three tasks designed to test the Champion's courage, intelligence, resourcefulness, and magical ability. So- what happened in 1792?

Rowling should set about writing “Hogwarts: A History”. She would sell a lot of books.
so true i would definently read it
Yes I would buy it and enjoy, same for 1001 magical herbs and fungi. As well as most of the other books mentioned in the Harry Potter books.
Word! Take a page out of George R.R Martins book.... sort of speak.
And get film adaptations of the formation of the school all the way up to fantastic beasts
Hogwarts: A History, should be a founders series!
"We have worked hard over the summer to ensure that this time, no champion will find himself or herself in mortal danger"
**laughing in Hungarian Horntail**
All wizards are ride or die!
nothing happened in triwizard tournament of 1994, except voldy's revival. lets do it again
pretty sure no potion is going to patch up a cremated corpse. that horn tail could have roasted entire bleachers of spectators.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@clausstudioproduction death of Cedric diggory.
1:16 And here we can see Dumbledore asking something calmly.
😂
😂😂lol
Lmfao 🤣 😂
XD
Haha genius 😅😂
I love how there is no middle ground in the wizarding world. The tournament has to be extremely dangerous or there would be no tournament at all lmao
lol true
And wizards were white or dark, no in between either..
@@fallen535_online what about Dung?
When you play the Game of Wizards, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.
If death isn’t involved then we’re not doing it. Lol
"We promise there will be no more mortal danger like the cockatrice"
"but sir didn't we add the dragons this time?"
"But is it a cockatrice tho?"
The cockatrices I know have abilities similar to a basilisk. And, due to it's size, often gets underestimated, regarding the threat level they pose.
@@Timberwolf69 yes but if I do recall I don't think it was as high of danger or even mentioned no less in fantastic beasts (book)
@@Menagerie_OS As I said, cockatrices are very often underestimated, because they are quite a bit smaller than a dragon. I'm not sure if their petrification effect wears off over time or can be countered with a spell/charm/potion, but in the moment of petrification, these victims are prone to severe injuries. And if you happen to get bitten, you better hope someone has the antidote at hand...
@@Timberwolf69 yes and again I haven't seen documentation of it in the fantastic beasts book.
@@Menagerie_OS I take it that they might be quite hard to find. And also way too dangerous, as they are very agile little buggers. Thus Newt might have refrained from putting knowledge about them out into the world.
Who knows how many other dangerous animmals live out there that didn't make it into the book for these reasons?
"DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET HARRY" Dumbledore asked *calmly*.
Hahahhaa never forget! I remember being in the cinema and saying 'wtf! Why is the new Dumbledore loosing it like that!? He clearly didn't ead the books xD
“DId YoU pUt YoUR NAmE In THe goBlEt oF fiRe HARRY” ASKED CALMLY
My theory why Dumbledore wanted to hold it is because he knew Voldemort would return. He wanted to hold it because the tournament brings magical community together. He wanted the schools to form friendships so that when Voldemort returned, the magical community would have those ties and hopefully work together to defeat Voldemort.
I think it did work.
My theory and opinion though🤗
1:19 a chill and calm dude about to ask a question calmly
Will this blow up?
@@c.j.a5524 no
Now I want to read hogwarts a history lol
Seriously, I would read it!
Can any read this without putting a mental pause after Hogwarts?
@@jennifercoolidgeislife6760 UNDERRATED COMMENT
Yes me to
that would be awesome
I always wondered why they brought this tournament back.. like wtf Dumbledore.. you know Harry has a cloud of death over his head.
My theory is Dumbledore knows Voldemort has returned, and he knows that the best way to beat Voldemort is if the Magical Community comes together. One of the whole points is to make magical friends at the tournament. If it weren’t for Voldemort interfering, the tournament would have created a more interconnected magical community.
My theory.
Wow that really makes sense
Given the fact that Dumbledore has been raising him like a pig for slaughter in Deathly Hallows, yea no wonder lmao
Not lying, I was literally reading the end of the Triwizard Tournament in HP and the goblet of fire, when I saw the notification
I just finished the audiobook too
Similar happened to me yesterday, was watching harry potter and prisoner of azkaban then saw the scene of Snape taking the marauder map and we were wondering with my friend how he didnt know what it was then boom this guys video about snape not recognizing the marauder map popped to my recommendations as a push notification on my phone 5 minutes later
Or was it even prisoner of azkaban I dont remember weve been bingewatching HP 1 movie per day
Tournament description: "No champion will find himself or herself in mortal danger."
Task no. 1: Lets not tell them, they gonna fight dragons, lmao!
Right. Doesn't really make sense, does it?
@@denizkenger52 please explain this to the dragons
@@denizkenger52 put the cloak inside a package and summon the package with the cloak inside. Test it beforehand to make sure it works. easiest day of his life
Just wanted to "like" but 66 is an order to be executed for mortal danger ;)

*"Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory"* never get's old!
If Rowling writes Hogwarts: A History I will definitely read it!
Wizards pre 1994:
"We once had that tournament where we let 3 kids fight each other in dangerous, sometimes deadly, tasks."
"Sounds fun, why did it stop?"
"Oh, last time the teachers were attacked by a monster the kids were supposed to deal with. It was terrible."
"Understandable."
cedric didnt die to the tournament. the tournament went perfectly smooth. crouch jr just cursed the cup into a portkey and then cedric died to wormtail. the tournament was done well
I mean... Sure no one died from the tournament, but that was largely luck. Harry's dragon broke free and chased him all over the grounds. They casually let mer people kidnap four students as bait. They placed a sphinx, a creature known for killing and eating people that answer its riddles wrong, in the maze. Sure no one died. But saying they wouldn't be in mortal danger is flat out wrong.
@@13vatra don't confuse the movies with the books, that unnecessary scene of the dragon chasing Harry all over Hogwarts never happened!
@@denizkenger52 well actually they hold on to the cloak when others tried to summon it while they were wearing it cause it slipped because of the charm,the so I think Accio indeed works with any physical object.
@@guywood4955 I think I mixed the books and movies, because as far as I remember they left the sphinx out of the movie
@@grizal5669 Hermione summons a toad there is jumping away from the trio in the order of the phoenix, when they are in charm class and should learn the silencio charm.
Why did Dumbledore agree to have dragons in the tournament? That seems really dangerous for the spectators. What if the dragon got loose or breathed fire into the stands... (Not counting the movie version which is ridiculous...)
Ridiculous? I happened to like that scene very much
The Movie Scene Was Gonna Be Even More Ridiculous. The Firector Originally Wanted The Dragon To Burn Down The Forbidden Forest.
Also the fact that the spectator stands were WOODEN
Well the Dragon Harry Potter was given did ran into the stand it’s crazy the stands aren’t protected from these kinds of things.
Harry Potter contains magic. No point worrying about other things that don't make sense, unless it's an important plot hole
How come you haven't been obliviated ?
You've exposed the deepest darkest secrets of the wizarding world
Guess you're good at the fidelius charm
You can add it to your resume
Wait you mean there are muggles who are on here?
@@williampaulsinghharika2627 all the people that dislike these awesome vids
1:00 "Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?", he asked calmly.
Now imagine you are still a student in a school for wizards and you are supposed to face a beast that three adult wizards on a much higher level (as I suppose when they are headmasters of the schools) couldn't handle without getting harshly injured.
I really appreciate this channel 😊 would recommend it !
Keep up your amazing videos. Loving it
I love This channel keep going man❤
Will pose no risks to the student this year: The events include fighting dragons, saving someone from the bottom of the lake, and a cursed maze. The dragons are also random and not equal at all. Not to mention there may be death eaters who want to kill at least one of the contestants. No risk at all. Oh one of the contestants is 14 and may not have enough knowledge to compete? So what? The Goblet chose him and he's friends with some smart kids.
"No champion will find himself in mortal danger"
Makes First task literally taking on dragons, ok then
I love all your videos and i know they take long to make i just wish they was longer
I always wondered why there wasn't even a small mention of the Triwizard Tournament in book 1 or book 7, now I know
Why do you mention/wonder about this in specifically book 1 and book 7?
@@fabulouskamaria if I understand it correctly, the Triwizard Tournament was every 3 years, and the Goblet of Fire is book 4, so 3 years before is book 1, 3 years later is book 7
@@rawlinsonboy in book four it had been over 100 years since the last tournament. Book 7, so many more important things were happening. Plus with cedric dying and durmstrang losing its headmaster, they probably
Canceled it again. Either way, it wouldnt have been at hogwarts, so no reason for it to be mentioned
Anyone of these videos are amazing can’t miss a single one
Started to binge all videos 😁
Great video as always
Terrifying? They had a giant bird hurt a few judges, and then in the next tournament they have several different dragons of varying species. This is incredibly stupid.
Great video as always 😁😁😁💪
You need to make the videos long it felt like it was short today and it's felt like that the last few time me and my wife Mary have been watching them and we really enjoy them slot keep them coming they are really great
Love the video, i really like the intro
Imagine if the Triwizard was on in Dumbledore's time. He would have won it without breaking a sweat! Tom Riddle, on the other hand, would have killed the other two contestants and probably half the spectators and judges! 😂😂😂
How are they going going to say "no champion himself or herself in mortal danger." Then put some teenagers against dragons in the first challenge?
Thank you! I have that question myself. The assurance sure doesn't seem to be truthful. "Well, yes, you're just a young student, and not really very experienced, and yes, you're going up against a VERY nasty dragon that SURE CAN kill you (and others), but you won't really be in mortal danger."
Really? Just how does that work if "something" happens with that dragon? What if it decides that "Today's the day for frying a lot of people"?
Also, what about the second challenge with the people under the lake who had to be rescued? If a rescue attempt had failed, what would have happened to them? Would they have drowned/died? If not, then what's the point of using them in the challenge at all? If all that challenge really amounted to was some weird version of "capture the flag", but using people in place of a flag, I'm not seeing much sense (and certainly not much wisdom) in that.
So what's really the truth about the situations here? "Well, the champion isn't in mortal danger (which isn't really, seriously true), but friends and family of his/her and others may well be. Oh, and by the way - We'll be using champion's friends and even family as pawns in one of the trials."
@@jamesritter5078 in the book it says that in the second task even if a champion couldn't rescue their hostage Dumbledore would have never let them drown.
@@rumanatarafder616 - Okay, then what we have with that is an extremely weird (and rather stupid, IMO) version of the "capture the flag" game, but using people instead of a flag. Which begs the question - Why do it that way at all? Instead of (supposedly, but not really) putting people's lives at risk, make the "flag" something else that's very valuable but not as dangerous.
1:16 *when you pause the movie because you run out of popcorn*
Oh god I love this channel.
Every video you post I feel in myself your a better Potterhead. This is the world of harry potter!
Brilliant, your videos make my day better no matter how busy I’m at work or home! Can you please make a video about the teacher’s tasks at the end of HP1?
@@denizkenger52 thanks for that! It would be good to see it in a video with a bit more side information, I guess.
Question is, was the voldemort incident cause for another Tournament break or did it continue ?
It is said in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child though that the tournament did not continue because of that incident with Cedric Diggory but I really don't know because majority of the fans doesn't consider the cursed child canon even though J.K. Rowling said it should be considered canon.
@@torib713 she just said it because she's probably being paid for everything that is sold related to harry potter, but the story ignores tens of laws that were set in the original series
@Erik Phers
Maybe you're right that J.K. Rowling allowing this to be canon has something to do with money but it just really disappoint me to the point where I really want to cry because I'm really such a big fan of Harry Potter but she just let this other third party author to ruin her story.
@@torib713 I think it can be cannon on ONE condition: It is, for any reason, no matter how valid, to even be CONSIDERED part of the original timeline. I say that because it, as Hermione put it, "Meddles with time." And, as she said again, "There are serious consequences for wizards who meddle with time, Harry."
@Allen Dishman
Well yes that Harry Potter information about meddling time is cannon but Cursed Child has just so many loopholes and absurd information that doesn't really make sense that I don't like to consider it fully cannon.
Your voice is so amazing, soothing and mesmerizing.
Love the history of the Wizarding world videos! Need more like this 💕
The cockatrice, a creature usually depicted as a bipedal drake with a rooster's head, sounds like a deadringer for a feathery theropod dinosaur to me. Perhaps a magical raptor that didn't go extinct?
1:17 "Did you put your name in the goblet of fire Harry?" Dumbledore asked calmly...
I've always wondered if Grindelwald from Durmstrang met Dumbledore during their time as students in Triwizard tournament.
Its quite possible
No Grindelwald was expelled probably before he turned the age to compete
@@alphabet4142 of course. Was through Bathilda Bagshot that they met
@@alphabet4142 He could've been experiencing the tournament as a spectator at a younger age.
@@alphabet4142 there was no age restriction in his time. they only introduced that in harry's fourth year
Can you do a video on what possible jinx voldemort used on the defense against the dark arts position?
Dumbledore looks like he’s about to start throwin’ hands in the thumbnail.
Could you please do ‘What if Draco followed through with the task, how would the story have ended differently?’
Books: did you put ur name in the goblet of fire harry
Movies: *DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE HARRY!?!?!*
Harry potter-- horrible eyesight...............Gryffindor--- lets make him seeker on our house team to chase down a tiny golden ball that is fast and extremely hard to see...........dafuq
Cedric Diggory's death really had nothing to do with the Triwizard Tournament they weren't supposed to be teleported to a graveyard to face off against Wormtail and Voldemort. If they hadn't had the tournament that year, there would have been a diferent attempt made to abduct Harry Potter, where even more students may have died as a result of being in the vicinity of Harry Potter when the Death Eaters made their move.
That was just a dark wizard attack which I suppose is just an everyday risk for people that live in the Wizarding World in a time when there's an evil dark wizard on the loose killing people.
In 1994 they had hoped that 3 contestants would be alive at the end which they technically achieved
When they brought it back, they restricted the rules. Dumbledore made so no students were to be killed. In the old days of triwizard tournaments you were allowed to kill each other.
Lets have a video on the history of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang please! :)
Dumbledore: We’ll make sure no one is in mortal danger!
Cedric: *gets murdered at the hands of the darkest wizard of all time*
Hey, something I don’t actually know about… in detail.. .for once yay 😁
Seems to me that originally, the tournament would have been more like the Renaissance versions of Medieval tournaments. Yes, they were "friendly", but horrible injuries and deaths did occur.
Personally I feel that, given that the cockatrice is a French wizarding symbol, at least at the time, Royalist (or Revolutionary) sabotage should not be ruled out, especially since 1792 is right in the middle of the most brutal years of the French Revolution (as the War of the First Coalition was declared just months before the tournament). I could see it either way, but which faction did it would depend on two factors:
1) The nationality of the contestant up when the rampage happened; the saboteur(s) would almost certainly be Revolutionary if the contestant up wasn't French (Revolutionaries felt everyone else was out for them outside of France back then, especially British, Austrians and Prussians, but also Spanish and Sardinians to a lesser extent)
2) If the contestant up at the time was French, then the allegiance of the contestant also needs to be considered; the saboteur(s) would be Royalist if the contestant was Revolutionary, and vice-versa.
And then Muggle-born may as well have brought Muggle conflicts in the wizarding world...
1:15 asked calmy
Can't be the better timing for this video...I was just reading Goblet of the Fire for the 1000000th time... 🤣
a petition to make Rowling wrote a book about the history of Hogwarts
It’s Hogwarts: A History 😊😅😉
Ngl I was expecting all contestants to have died in horrific ways
I wonder if there were other competitions since that one..
I love how you said it like Beauxbatons, instead of Bobatton like in the movies.
My question is why would they plan the quidditch World Cup and the triwizard tournament in the same year
Another great video, thank you HP Theory! Hmm in 1792 the cockatrice and in 1994 another pure disaster. Maybe a Triwizard Gobstones Tournament would be better xDD
Dlc i would love to see in Hogwarts Legacy: -Triwizard Tournament -Quiddich School Cup - World Quiddich Cup - Chamber of Secret Related Mission - More Lore mission for dark magic related. Maybe Something doing with the creators of the curses would be fucking great.
What if the real reason (or an additional reason) was that the foundation of the first French Republic in 1792 led to the newly established government threatening Beauxbatons and/or the wider French wizarding world with being revealed (perhaps as secret monarchists) forcing them, and the Tri-Wizard tournament, underground until the relative security of the 1990’s made them comfortable with competing again?
Remember everyone, if you ever wondered if someone put their names in the goblet of fire, please ask calmly ok?
"Yea, okay. Last tournament didn't end good. But i worked hard to ensure that no one will die from cockatrice this time.
...
...
Anyway, i brought some dragons-"
I sometimes wonder if the International Confederation of Wizards have their own version of the Olympics. Besides the Quiddich World Cup and Tri Wizard Tournament, there doesn't seem to be any other sports competitions between the different nations of the Wizarding World. That's probably something J.K. Rowling should consider expanding on.
There are goobbals (?) and wizzarding chess, though not exactly sports, both I am certain have an international competition. Then there is dueling, which I would call a sport.
There might be other wizzarding sports too, that just isn't popular in the UK.
We have also to consider that the wizzarding population is much lower than the muggle population, and thus there are not as much of a room for that many different sports. You need a certain amount of talents to be able to make a team, and you need several teams to hold a competition. I already don't see how there are enough wizards or witches in UK for one national quidditch league, judging by the amount of Hogwarts students. Maybe if they had longer professional careers than muggle athletes, but there still wouldn't be enough people to also have other big sports.
We definitely need to see another chosen one taking place in another wizarding school maybe ivermony
"Dumbledore asked calmly"
Do you think it’s possible that Voldemort’s followers used the Imperius curse to manipulate the ministry officials into starting the tournament again?
1:15 Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?
one thing I never understood about "the plan" was... if they could use Portkey to teleport Harry out of the school... why do through all the trouble to make him win the tournament. Why not just enchant his pillow or something like that so he would teleport away once he touches it?
Or just enchant the snitch and make sure that it's Harry that win the game?
Love this
Excellent video! Wasn't 1792 the year of the French Revolutionary Wars?
I'm surprised how a human mind imagined and created all that
It’s truly amazing isn’t it
Ah. Back in the good old days where you crapped your pants and just magic it away.
we want more prequels to Harry potter.
Wow imagine we got to do a triwizard tournament in the the Hogwarts legacy game that would be AMAZING!!
Me vs The Cockatrice
Me: Com'on ye wee chicken snake! My Gran is scaryer than you!

Finished reading Order of the Phoenix on Tuesday
Were any more held after?
Most awesome vid!!!!!!👦⚡🧹🧙♂️🦉🏰🌕🚂🏆
🖐🏻 Has there been one after 1994 or are we on another 200 year hiatus?
You can't say Cedric died from the tournament. If things had gone as planned they would have been teleported to the beginning of the maze. He didn't appear in the book or movie to be hurt significantly enough that he was on the verge of death.
True!
"The next time we'll let them search a discount wand with a note containing the clue in a cave labyrinth full of death traps and dozens of basilisks. Oh and we can put a force field around the cave and release some convicts from Askaban especially those death eaters in there to make it a bit more challenging!"
"But what about the safety?"
"NO MORTAL DANGER!"
The tournament did not take Cedric Diggory. It was Voldermort that did that. It like someone saying that someone died of Cancer when they actually died in a Car crash. The Cancer did not kill them and they could have survived and lived a long life afterward. We don't know but the Car Crash killed them. So, someone saying the tournament killed Cedric. Just think if Voldermort plan did not happen then Cedric would have won without dying just like Krum and Fleur would have not had the issues either. So, the tournament cannot be blamed for his death.
1:17 *enjoy* 🤣🤣🤣 LMAO
Cockatrice was too dangerous so the decided to lower the stakes by including dragons in the first tournament in 200 years
LONGER VIDS PLEASE
wow! I never knew the last was 1792. I thought it was surely no more than a few decades.
Please - Can avada kedavra block avada kedavra or is there a spell to bring a physical shield in front of yoy to block it ?
There is no shield spell to block Avada Kedavra. Protego doesn't work. Only a physical barrier can work.

@@BusyBrainyBody But it only exists in the Wizarding World, so that's sad.
Do Wonder was the Triwizard tournament completely canceled after that I haven't seen a cursed child yet or even read the script for it but I would assume that Harry's children at least one of them would be in school during the time of the tournament should have come around again?
I think at least one person was under the imperious curse to have the triwizard tournament reinstated in 1994. It feels like too much of a coincidence that it's reinstated when harry iscat school and neededas part of the ritual for voldemorts return
