In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, there's a dark theory about what the Yule Ball means for Triwizard champions Harry, Fleur Delacour, and co.
The Triwizard Tournament is the central focus of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but the Yule Ball is a big part of the story, and there's a dark theory about why it exists. The fourth book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series saw lots of excitement in Harry's fourth year as Hogwarts was hosting the Triwizard Tournament, a three-event competition of magic skill.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire marked a significant shift in the series. Not only was the fourth Harry Potter book notably longer, but it saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione becoming young adults. This was on full display when it came to the Yule Ball and the scramble for the perfect date. Ron was strongly attracted to Fleur Delacour and asked her to the ball, though she declined. Harry was also turned down, by Cho Chang.
The hostage choices are telling, and have direct correlations to the Yule Ball. Much to Harry and Ron's chagrin, Cho and Hermione had a wonderful time dancing with Cedric and Viktor, respectively, and they likely weren't the only ones who noticed. Hence, the Triwizard organizers chose the girls to be their champions' loved ones in the challenge because they were the most compatible Yule Ball couples.
Fleur Delacour Didn't Love Her Yule Ball Date Fleur Delacour was a quarter-Veela witch, and thus her beauty attracted the attention of many male students while she was visiting Hogwarts, though she settled on Ravenclaw Quidditch captain Roger Davies as her date for the Yule Ball.
It's possible that the Triwizard organizers didn't notice Fleur and Roger's departure from the Yule Ball, or if they did, were wise enough to know that their connection was only physical and that Roger wasn't high enough stakes for Fleur in the second task. It's worth noting that Fleur was immediately taken by Bill Weasley, her eventual husband, when she saw him at the third task whereas Roger just appeared to be her best available choice for the Yule Ball.
