alt_lanaCongratulations to all the champions. And to the supporters who came from around the world to see the First Task of the Tri-Wizard Tournament. The atmosphere of the event was charged with excitement, but also with respect for the capabilities of the contestants.
Of course, we all thrilled with vicarious terror as each of the champions faced death in the hide of a massive dragon, particularly as each of the beasts had such cause to turn her full maternal wrath on the interlopers. The contest could not have been more real!
Congratulations, above all, to Harry Marvolo for his courage and cleverness. I feel sure that the Quidditch managers all took note of your broomwork! I know a number of them were in the stands yesterday, and I feel sure none of them expected the show you gave them. The show you gave all of us! I trust that your injury was quickly healed. You were terribly brave to fly through it, and your final manoeuvre was so masterfully executed, it was difficult to remember that you were suffering such a fierce slashing as we all saw you take just minutes before.
Well done, all! It was a great privilege to have been able to attend.
