Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Sit down.

Please.

Now, the moment

you've all been waiting for.

The champion selection.

The Durmstrang champion is

Viktor Krum!

[Cheering]

The champion from Beauxbatons

is Fleur Delacour.

[Cheering]

The Hogwarts champion,

Cedric Diggory!

[Cheering]

Excellent!

We now have our three champions.

But, in the end,

only one will go down in history.

Only one will hoist

this chalice of champions,

this vessel of victory,

the Triwizard Cup!

"Harry Potter."

Harry Potter?

No.

No.

Harry Potter!

Go on, Harry.

Harry, for goodness' sake.

He's a cheat!

You're not even 17 yet!

Everything is a conspiracy theory with you.

Quiet, I cannot think!

Everything is a conspiracy theory!

I protest!

Harry!

I protest!

Harry, did you put your name in

The Goblet of Fire?

No, sir.

You ask one of the older students

to do it for you?

No, sir.

You're absolutely sure?

Yes.

Yes, sir.

But, of course he is lying.

The hell he is!

The Goblet of Fire is an exceptionally

powerful magical object.

Only an exceptionally powerful

Confundus Charm

could have hoodwinked it.

Magic way beyond the talents

of a fourth year.

You seem to have given this

a fair bit of thought, Mad-Eye.

It was once my job

to think as Dark wizards do, Karkaroff,

perhaps you remember.

That doesn't help, Alastor.

I leave this to you, Barty.

The rules are absolute.

The Goblet of Fire constitutes

a binding magical contract.

Mr Potter has no choice.

He is, as of tonight,

a Triwizard champion.
