Cedric Diggory

Cedric was alright, though I didnt really feel so much pain when he died - more thinking of 'whats going to happen now' and 'omg voldy is back' lol.

I dont think we really go to know cedric like we should have. If he had been more of a central character in the other books, I think that we would have felt more pain when he died

I think he showed Harry how to play fair and act mature. I think he helped Harry grow up if anything. and yes I cried when he died

Well, from what we learned about Cedric I liked. He seemed like a good kid with a good head on his shoulders. He had a great relationship with his Father. That says a lot about someone.

He is a fair and just person. He didn't have to help Harry in the second task but he did as a self felt obligation.

Shame he had to die. (He was really hot too)

Yeah, I agree. I actually found his death more sad in the film than in the book. There wasn't much substance to his character in my opinion.

well you were older when u saw the film when I was, so yea. I think that yes, he began the second war, but I also think he was a reality check for Harry

Well, it was more important then if Fluer or Krum were killed, and those were the only ones that would have made since

I believe it may have been better it being a main character such as a weasley like percy

o so you think that if percy died it would have had a bigger affect? in that case I agree, but percy had his faults, and cedric was a hufflepuff, he was good natured, kind, and he was alsways polite

I think its sad when he dies. he was a great Quidditch player too.

When I first started reading about Cedric I didn't like him much and just wanted Harry to win the war but near the end of the maze before they grabbed the cup I thought he was really noble and kind. I admit I did not cry when I read that probaly becuase I didn't have any feelings for his character. Like everyone else has already said I think he marked the start of the war but it was also crucial that he died for Harry to get with Cho.

Yeah I think that when we first met Cedric we saw him as Harry did but we got to know and love him like Harry did so I ended up being quite attatched.

I'm the complete opposite of everyone else. Everyone but me loves Cedric but I found him annoying.
Here's my reasons:

When Harry found out about the dragons, he came straight out and said, "Dragons are the first tack." And explained.
Then, Cedric figures out the egg and all he says is, "Take a bath and bring the egg with you." What kind of reasoning is that?
If it weren't for Harry, Cedric would have been the only unprepared one, but because of Cedric, Harry ended up late for the second task and not knowing what he was going to do. That to me shows that Cedric is not as good of a person as everyone thinks he is.

Well even if Cedric had told him that the first task was water I don't think harry would have beleived him.. and he still wouldn't have known what to do

I mean if Cedric explained the task a bit more or told him to put the egg underwater and listen to it...it would have been more helpful.

Yeah, but again, I don't think Harry would have beleived him. Harry felt really alone and misunderstood because verybody was rooting against him so I think he would have been extremely reluctant to take his advice anyway.

I guess so....I still don't like Cedric though (lol!) He just never seemed like a good person to me! I didn't want him to die though! I just wasn't affected a lot by his death.

Eh, I have mixed feelings on Cedric. On one side, he did seem like a good kid (HUFFLEPUFF PRIDEEEE) and it was horrible that he died, but like Cassie said, he didn't come straight out and tell Harry what the challenge is, and even Harry admits it was a bit of a crappy hint. Haha, so I always had mixed feelings on him because I found him slightly annoying at times but he sure didn't deserve to die.
