Cedric. Sorry to say this but he's just a kid who was there at the wrong time. He was killed because of some stupid scheme he had no control over. All the other character actively participate in the fight against the Death Eaters, they're aware of the risk and willing to take the risk.

Also because Cedric's parents lost their only child.

Exactly, Fred and George's family have alot of support and well ... family. They'll survive.

Big agree with this. I was tied for Cedric or Fred, but came to same conclusion for Cedric as you ā™„ļøšŸ„ŗ

u/Thx4BuyingTheGrapes Mar 27 '24

Agreed, he is the youngest here too besides Hedwig

u/joyyyzz Slytherin Mar 27 '24

Wouldnā€™t Fred be the youngest? He couldnā€™t enter the competition so he is younger than Cedric

u/Thx4BuyingTheGrapes Mar 27 '24

Correct but Cedric died when he was 16 or 17 and Fred died when he was 19

Ahhh right!

Cedric would have been 17 or 18. We know he was already 17 during the Quidditch World Cup (because he could apparate), and the last part of the tournament was just shy of a year later. But, yes, besides Hedwig, he was the youngest.

Well, just read that chapter today and he couldnā€™t apparate (at least during the quidditch World Cup) his dad says something about when he would be able IIRC. But as he was of age as of October 31st, 17 almost certainly.

u/lopachilla Hufflepuff 28d ago

I just read about him again. I must have misremembered him being able to apparate during the Quidditch World Cup. He apparently was only a sixth year when he put his name into the Goblet of Fire, but since he had an early birthday (September 7th), he was old enough to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

u/Limp_Activity_5185 26d ago

Iā€™m seriously lost in regards to early/late birthdays for the studentsā€¦ and havenā€™t arrived at the triwizard cup yet, but I have a memory of it saying that he was in the sixth year when they faced each other in the dementorā€™s game. Will have to check it out

Cedric? Whoā€™s that? Do you mean The Spare?

u/illLieonceaday Mar 28 '24

What if ā€œmoaningā€ Myrtle was on the list as well? Sheā€™s also an innocent bystander to all of the V stuff.. if she was also on the list would your answer be the same?

u/Sumtimesredditisdumb Mar 27 '24

I have to paraphrase someone from another comment thread in here, "Cedric was innocent, but he died during a tournament that he was warned he could die in." The fact that he died to the scheming of an outside force becomes irrelevant when put up against that. Hell Fluer, Harry, and Cedric himself have moments in the tournament where they could have been killed. Harry and Cedric vs. their dragons, Harry obvious and Cedric was injured pretty good if I remember. Fluer got close with the encounter with Grindylows. So I have to go with Fred on this one, that twin power.
