Hermoine Granger Submitted the Following

Incantation to Cast: hullócsillag (Hil- Osage)
Wand movement: small circle then jab
Result on Wand: The wand shoots a bunch of green and red stars.
Result of the Spell: Shoots red and green stars that will confuse you. If used as a pronoun like, Csillag expeliarms, it will do the effect of that second spell and it will cause stars to shoot out and spin you in circles.
Extra: hullócsillag is hungarian for shooting star. My inspiration for making this spell is cause some people get confused when they are told that shooting stars are astroids and this is a spell to indicate that shooting stars are confusing.

Incantation to Cast::Aurorarmus(loud and clear)
Wand movement::Counter anticlockwise rotation and a pointed flick in the center
Result on Wand::A beam of shining jet rays shoots out of the wand and will stand like a barrier.If spell pronounced wrong wand will be out of usage until the wand maker tests it.
Result of the Spell::This is an advanced spell that resembles the spell 'protego'.It's effect is that,it would stand like a barrier to defend the opponent's spell.it's shining and much more powerful than protego
Inspiration to create the spell:I was inspired by seeing the spell 'protego' in Harry Potter series.This spell would be great use on the weaker spells.

The Magical Sports and Events Regulation Department is in Great Crisis!

So its Our Duty to Help them!

Your Challenge-Compose a 350+ Word Essay on a Very difficult and Daring Challenge to incorporate in the Tri-Wizard Tournament! Use your creativity and always make it adventurous, daring and difficult!


Josephine Lycos Submitted The Following Entry!

It is a room of nine large full-length mirrors set in a circle in the center of the room. The mirrors do not reflect exactly what you see, but show slightly different rooms. At the far end of the room it looks like there is a door but upon further inspection you see that it is another mirror that shows the reflection of the same room but with a door to exit and complete the challenge.

Each mirror has a plaque inscribed with a simple description. Love, Joy, Wonder, Peace, Anger, Courage, Sadness, Fear, and Disgust. The mirrors also have precious stones around their border and each frame is missing one stone, except for Courage. The corresponding colored stones for each emotion are PINK for love, YELLOW for joy, PURPLE for wonder, WHITE for peace, ORANGE for anger, BLUE for sadness, BLACK for fear, and GREEN for disgust.

The Courage mirror is not solid but has a watery appearance. It acts as a portal into another room. The mirrors are designed to overwhelm the Champion with whichever corresponding emotion they represent, either crippling or luring them away from finishing the challenge. In the Courage mirror world the Champion will be praised by a crowd of people for whatever heroic deeds they have accomplished in their lifetime. This is a room that is designed to lure the Champion away from their original task. A room that the Fear world would create will take any and all fears the Champion has experienced and bring them to life. This room, if successful will leave the Champion crippled and unable to complete the challenge. As you can see, each emotion will manifest from what the Champion has personally experienced in order to be very real.

In order to complete the challenge the Champion, starting in the Courage realm, must retrieve the colored stone hidden in that mirror world and replace it in the frame in which it belongs. That mirror will "unlock" and the Champion can continue to find the next stone. Once all the emotion mirrors are unlocked the last mirror will allow passage to the exit.


Draco Malfoy submitted The Following Challenge


TAMING A HIPPOGRIFF

The Ground was somewhere near the dark Forest, though the teeming endless foliage in the forest did not provide any cooler atmosphere as such, and the sun was ablaze sending many light shards towards the stadium, making it unbearable hot, guaranteeing at any rate that the contestant would get tired in a matter of minutes. The Coordinator was all set to reveal the proceeding of the tournament, they though uncontrollably sweated, was working hard to open doors to the stadium, releasing three very wild and untamed Hippogriff, no matter if the contestant bow before the hippogriff, it won’t be ready to take the contestant to the skies above.

The feathers filled in the entire atmosphere of the stadium, and the guests struggled hard to see between them, all they knew was that this challenge is a matter of death or life. The Hippogriff's beat their wings which created a atmosphere of terror and awe in contestant’s mind. The challenge was simple to say and hard to make out of it! The Contestant have to tame the Hippogriff, get on back of it and fly two rounds, so divine to see

As all other challenges, its tough, adventurous, daring and difficult. And flying on this hippogriff, will always remain another adventure because you never know if the Hippogriff is a tamed or untamed one, as climbing on it will not always confirm that the animal is tamed, and more to it its Magic, you never know what happens.

Respect was always The Hippogriff wanted, and it will not heed to anyone other than those who respect them, but this untamed hippogriff was different due to the fact that they were prepared for a dangerous tournaments, with the finest Care Takers of the Magical Creatures and the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, that too with extreme care and precautions to meet the standards set by the international magical community

Altogether, the event is so great, but with this challenge included in it, it will be exciting, enthralling and will be a greater part of the excitement, build by this challenge. Its so simple to say, but the hard work done by the contestants, really matches nothing else…..

To help the ministry of magic I have come up with an ideal with the Tri-Wizard Tournament.The competetors will have to search through a swampy, dark forest for a golden chalice. There will be many obstacles on the search. The competetors will be facing some unfriendly centaurs, some angry winged horses, an acromantula or two, and in the end a bunch of boggarts. This challenge takes place in the rain forests of Africa. It will be very wet and there will be loads of other creatures living there like snakes and macaws. For some this challenge is hard but for others it is quite easy. The thing is all u have to guid yourself would be your wand. The competetors wont have maps or compasses. This challenge would be easiest for those of knowledge, bravery, and understandment. It is qite simple if you know how to keep a look out for obstacles,avoid them, and search for a challice. After one of the competetors finds the chalice, he/she is to find his/her opponents before an hour later so they all can be teleported to the second part of this task.

The second part of the task takes part in the city of New York. The competetor will have to know how to track all sorts of magical creatres for this part. They will be looking for nifflers, billywigs, baby acromantulas, and a dragon egg. The main goal is the dragon egg but you have to find these other creatures to find the clues to the dragon egg. Each competetor will start in different sections of NewYork. They will each be given different locations to look for the creatured. around where each creature is found, the competetor will find the next clue and get a bit closer to the egg. It will be night time when this takes place so that it is more complicated than it seems. There are many muggles out. The wont be able to see the madical creatures or eggs. The main obstacle is explaining to the muggle cops what you are doing if something happens. If any of the muggles ask why young people are out alone their sposed to figure out a fib that aint to big that wont get them suspected. That is one of the most challenging especially after being taugt for years that it aint good to lie to one another. This is also part of needing knowledge. The person that finds the dragon egg then ends the competition and all copetitors are brought back to the school for further points. The object of this is to show how brave you are and how much knowledge you have.


Professor Rubeus Hagrid Submitted The Following Challenge

The students who join must first enter a huge maze. They walk along for some time. In the maze there are 8 status hidden. Each statue asks a question to the students. If they answer it wrong its summons a magical beast that will have to be defeated. After the 8 statues have been found and the questions entered they will receive a portkey. Mind you only a certain number will be handed out so some students will not make it to round 2! Round 2 starts after the portkey is activated. When that has happend they students will be transferd into an old ruin. The ruin is divided into sections. Each section has its own door wich contains another riddle. The answer to each riddle is a spell wich will need to be used on the doors to open them. At the end of this section they will face a Troll. After the troll has been defeated a key will drop wich fits onto a box in the next room. The box will reveal a secret passage way to stage 3. this will be done so that students cannot go to stage 3 without defeating the troll. Stage 3 becomes more difficult. there are 10 boxes in the room all locked. Each of those contains a switch. The 2 right switches must be activated for the door to open. Again there are some riddles to find the right switches. Then the students must use theyr magic to shoot a ball onto a target. This target appears and dissapears behind a small wall. After 5 hits the door opens and they enter stage 4. Stage 4 is the 2nd to last stage. They enter and the door closes behind them. First Fire Lizards are released as out of a doorway. After they are defeated Goblins will be realesd. When those goblins are released the lights go out and the student must relight them while fighting the goblins. The last opponent in stage 4 is a fake metal Dragon. This is to confuse the students before stage 5. Stage 5 will contain a real dragon! This dragon must be forced into a cage and the doorshut behind him to clear the stage. After this they will be transported back to the start and they are done!

This challenge wills no doubt, be the most amazing, and hardest challenge the tri-wizard tournament has ever hosted. This part will be called “death eater hunting”. In this there will be an example “Death Eater” who hides and tries to capture the students. If a student is captured they are brought outside of the stadium and lose this part of the tournament. But if there is a student that happens to capture the “Death Eater” Then they win that part. There is also a time limit of 2 hours and the students are limited to staying inside the stadium and if they get out somehow they will be disqualified. Any spell is usable except the unforgivable curses. When or if a student captures the “Death Eater” they must leave the stadium immediately towards the crowd. There is absolutely no hitting any other person with a curse, and if you do you are disqualified as well. The stadium is the quiditch stadium of course, and no other one. The death eater will be throwing curses at you so you will have to watch out, and if he gets you, then you will have lost this challenge. The winner get’s 200 points, and also anybody who makes it out without getting hit, they get 100 points; if you get out you get no points at all. If you decide to not do this challenge you are disqualified from the whole tournament. This challenge is very crucial in winning the tournament and if you are behind, this will help you get a better chance in winning the tournament. Remember to follow these rules, and study hard, as you will need to know many spells to win this. You may not bring in any items with you, but you may summon items if possible. Get ready for this amazing challenge and good luck to all of the contestants. You’ll need it!

First thing that competitors have to do is to dive as faster as possible in to the Black Lake. At the bottom there is a key tied around the mermaids neck, they need to get it but, its not allowed physical contact only spells.

After they get the key, around the Hogwarts there is big gold doors. Behind the Doors there is a huge maze, but its not the only problem. Wizards will interfere dementors, goblins, pixies and more. Also they need to know herbology and transfiguration too, cuz there are a lots of toxic plants and small hols where they need to transform themselfs into a small animals. At the end of the maze there is Hippogiff wich will take you to battle field.

After you have flown, if there is no other competitors you winn, but if there are you can now show your spell knowledge. If you manage to win all your opponents you are the winner.

The Third challenge has also been closed, now comes the Fourth Challenge.For those who Didnt finish the third and second and the first challenge, you can still participate in this one , because the tournaments are conducted on a mark and win Basis!
