Kit Harington Calls Out Triwizard Tournament Flaw in 'Goblet of Fire'

The actor’s audiobook promotion prompted fresh attention to a long-discussed visibility issue in the tournament.

Overview

  • Speaking to Variety as cited by multiple outlets, Harington noted that only the dragon task is watchable, with the underwater and maze events largely hidden from spectators.
  • Harington is voicing Gilderoy Lockhart in Audible’s Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Editions, which framed the context for his remarks.
  • Coverage underscores that fans have debated the Triwizard setup for years, with some commentary likening the scrutiny to longstanding Game of Thrones discussions.
  • ComicBook.com contends the visibility problem is baked into the story and suggests it may be hard to address even in HBO’s planned remake, reported as expected in 2027.
  • Reports differ on which book Harington called his favorite, with FandomWire citing Goblet of Fire and ComicBook.com citing The Half-Blood Prince.
