>"Help, help! Cedric Diggory has been killed! Yes, Cedric Diggory, my main rival as Hogwarts Champion and object of Cho Chang's affection, has been killed in the maze! Voldemort did it! He's been dead for thirteen years, but he's back, and he killed Cedric! Don't ask how, no one ask how! There were no witnesses, please do not look for any! The other two Champions in the maze were cursed with Imperio! Don't bother fetching your Veritaserum, professor Snape, I believe it's all been stolen. I am so upset right now! Has anyone seen Cho? When do I get the prize money?"

>NOOOOO HOW CAN PARTICIPATING IN THIS LEGENDARY WIZARD TOURNAMENT THAT'S TOUTED FOR MILLENIAS AND KNOWN FOR BEING TOO DANGEROUS HAS RESULTED IN MY SON BEING DEAD AS A PARTICIPANT! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

the stupidest part of that tournament was how nobody in charge said "we're going to make an exception and harry won't be competing because there was a clear rule about people his age not even being allowed to apply"

>THAT'S MY WIFE'S BOY!

>>212699788
They can't. They had a binding magical contract with the Goblet of Fire, a sentient magical item. If they violate it, they will receive magical punishment. Presumably, the people in charge would all burn to death.

>>212699857
>binding magical contract
>receive magical punishment
has shit like this ever been explained anywhere in the series or are we just supposed to randomly assume that this is how it works because the author was too lazy to properly think things out?

>>212699857
>Harry must compete because it is a le binding magical contract and if Harry violates it then... then uuuuuuh... idk.

>>212700319
Unseen, unwritten magic contracts that can execute at will are an allegory for modern police officers.

>>212699857
Still, Harry could literally just show up to each of the Tasks and not do anything/run out the clock. The contract says he has to participate, not that he has to participate well.

Presumably if Harry had been sorted into Slytherin and internalized the values of that house, this sort of cunning loophole would have occurred to him. Yet more evidence that the Sorting Hat was right and he would have done well in Slytherin.

>>212701519
Can't, he has to participate to the fullest extent of his ability and not play half-heartedly.

>Finally, I wish to impress upon any of you wishing to compete that this Tournament is not to be entered into lightly. Once a champion has been selected by the Goblet of Fire, he or she is obliged to see the Tournament through to the end. The placing of your name in the Goblet constitutes a binding, magical contract. There can be no change of heart once you have become champion. Please be very sure, therefore, that you are whole-heartedly prepared to play, before you drop your name into the Goblet

This is why Voldemort's plan is quite excellent. He told Karkaroff to just magic the step where it spits out the name of the participant, thereby forcing Harry to abide by the contract. The Goblet presumably does not care how the name got in and why it spits one out, it just cares that whoever names it spits out *must* participate and play in triwizard tournament or face the consequences (either lose their magic forever or death, taking examples from other type of magical contract like the Unbreakable Vow)
