Viktor Krum
The first Hogwarts champion; a sixth-year student in Hufflepuff House. Harry and most of his fellow Gryffindors believe that Cedric is brainless, if handsome, and they don't believe that he's a truly worthy person to represent Hogwarts. This isn't helped by Cedric's father, Amos Diggory, who, when Harry sees him at the Quidditch World Cup, makes it clear that he thinks Cedric is better than Harry. Over the course of the Tournament, Harry goes back and forth on whether or not he likes Cedric and whether he finds him honorable or not. This is mostly because Cedric begins dating Cho Chang, a girl whom Harry also has a crush on. Harry and Cedric help each other throughout the Tournament and during the third task, they work together to protect each other from Krum, who performs the Cruciatus Curse on Cedric, and a giant spider who tries to kill both of them. Cedric attempts to let Harry take the Triwizard Cup and win the Tournament, but he has no problem agreeing to take the cup together and make it a win for Hogwarts. However, this brings about Cedric's untimely death: the Cup is a Portkey and because Wormtail and Voldemort don't need Cedric, Wormtail murders him. Cedric's ghost asks Harry to take his body back to Hogwarts. Later, at the final feast, Dumbledore insists that in order to properly honor Cedric's memory, every student must accept that Voldemort killed him for absolutely no reason.

"Why are you telling me?" he asked.
Harry looked at him in disbelief. He was sure Cedric wouldn't have asked that if he had seen the dragons himself. Harry wouldn't have let his worst enemy face those monsters unprepared--well, perhaps Malfoy or Snape...
"It's just...fair, isn't it?" he said to Cedric. "We all know now...we're on an even footing, aren't we?"

"The Ministry of Magic," Dumbledore continued, "does not wish me to tell you this. It is possible that some of your parents will be horrified that I have done so--either because they will not believe that Lord Voldemort has returned, or because they think I should not tell you so, young as you are. It is my belief, however, that the truth is generally preferable to lies, and that any attempt to pretend that Cedric died as a result of an accident, or some sort of blunder of his own, is an insult to his memory."
