*Honestly, do we have to keep being reminded about how Harry will go to his death before ratting out Hagrid? Because it seems to be some big noble thing and it just makes me more and more irritated. I mean, if you’re going to not tell how you found out then don’t tell (though frankly, maybe if you tell the whole truth they’d come up with a different task, since it’s spoiled for everyone) but stop making it about protecting Hagrid the Great Innocent.
This reminds me of one of my favorite Malcolm in the Middle episodes. (Well, they're all my favorite episode...) Malcolm and the Krelborns are in some inter-school quiz tournament and their teacher keeps wanting them to cheat in order to win. Malcolm refuses until he finds out that the other teams are cheating in various ways, whereupon...
He devises a plan to steal the answers to the all the questions. And gives copies of the answers toall the teams. About three questions into the tournament, the officials realize what it going on. The final solution is to split up the honors between all the school and swear everyone to secrecy.
Makes me wish that Malcolm was the Chosen One. Actually, I could see Malcolm growing up and becoming Snape. His brother Reese could grow up to become Sirius.
