The Triwizard Tournament and why it was a turning point for the character of Harry Potter
Harry Potter didn’t put his name in the Goblet of Fire but the Triwizard Tournament was still a turning point for him as a character and it is interesting to look at his arc.
When it came to events that Harry Potter did not want to be a part of, nothing ranked higher than the Triwizard Tournament. Thrown into it because someone put his name in the Goblet of Fire, Harry was forced to compete against his will and he didn’t have a choice in anything that was happening to him.
That alone makes the Triwizard Tournament one of the more interesting time in Harry Potter’s life because he is forced to grow and learn in a way that he never should have and, for some time, without the help of his friends. For me, that is more important than any other adventure that Harry went on previously or even after.
The Triwizard Tournament was the turning point because he realized that he does have to do some things on his own without those who have always been there to help him and that lesson would bleed into how he tackles the Horcruxes and how he was going to take on Voldemort when the time came.
Sure, his journey to fixing the wizarding the world started when Harry was much too young to understand what was happening to him but through his power (and the Triwizard Tournament), he learned exactly what he needed to do to succeed.
