In this pivotal chapter, Harry and Cedric are transported by the Triwizard Cup, which is revealed to be a Portkey, to a remote graveyard where Voldemort is resurrected through a dark ritual involving Wormtail, Harry's blood, and the remains of Voldemort's father. Cedric is killed by Voldemort's command, and Harry is bound and forced to witness the rebirth of Voldemort, marking the return of the dark wizard and a turning point in the series.
In this chapter, Harry returns from the graveyard Portkey holding Cedric Diggory's dead body and reveals that Voldemort has returned. As Harry is taken to the hospital wing, he recounts the events to Mad-Eye Moody, who shockingly admits to having manipulated the Triwizard Tournament to ensure Harry's victory and reveals complex motives tied to loyalty and betrayal among Death Eaters. The chapter ends with Harry struggling to reconcile Moody's confession with his previous trust in him.
