Voldemort didnt give him the Horocrux to give to Ginny, he gave it to Lucius for safekeeping. Lucius, assuming Voldemort was gone, passed it onto Ginny to frame her father for having dark artifacts.

[@maxbrau4773]

Voldemort never told anyone about his horcruxes he just gave the book to Lucius to take care of it and keep it safe. Lucius just wanted to get rid of it because the ministry was making house raids to find illegal objects in wizard families. So Lucius didn't know what he was doing. One of many mistakes Voldemort made because he never trusted anybody.

[@whirlwind872]

As someone who only saw the movies, even as a kid I didn't feel... anything, when Cedric died. I don't think I felt sad in the slightest. To me Viktor, Fleur, and Cedric all felt like disposable background characters who were just there for this one movie to advance the plot and that's about it. The movie really wanted you to despair at the death of Cedric, to a degree that you'd only ever actually feel if it were Ron or Hermione that died. But since it was just this lame character we barely knew, the level of sadness they wanted you to feel was completely unjustified and unearned. Cedric was always disposable.

[@fleeceblanket9515]

So, JK Rowling has admitted that she very strongly considered killing off Ron in book 4. My personal theory, and this is a little tinfoil hatty, is that in her original draft, Ron was going to be selected to be the Hogwarts champion, then when Harry's name comes out of the goblet as well, that's why Ron loses his shit at Harry. It's a much stronger motivation, because after all these years, Ron finally has a chance at glory, and Harry has to swoop in and steal the spotlight yet again. Then they slowly make up over the course of the book, and at the climax, it's Harry and Ron who seize the cup together as a symbol of their renewed friendship... Then BAM. Graveyard. Ron is fucking ICED. Voldemort's back. And this catapults us into the darker, more adult section of the series. However, JK probably didn't want to put her readers through that shit, so she took a minor character from book 3 and elevated him to main character status and sacrificed him instead, and that's why Cedric feels so underwritten and out of place, and also why Ron's sudden falling out with Harry feels a little out of left field. Honestly, even as a child, I got over Credric's death really fast. Again, this is a tiny amount of fact combined with a large dose of speculation, but I think it all fits. Edit: for this storyline to be possible, there would have to be no minimum age requirement, or the minimum would have to be 14.

[@Beastinvader]

This makea sense. I remember in book three or four or five (?) Ron did show some jealousy. In book 1 didn't he see himself in the mirror as a quidditch player? Something like this would have worked a lot more.

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

That’s too bad if that’s the case. I think it definitely would have raised the stakes of the story a lot more and then Cedric could have, as Marcus suggested, come in and be even more chummy with Harry and help Harry through a potentially cool character arc and we wouldn’t have the cringeworthy Hermione/Ron romance. What a wasted opportunity.

I think that even though Cedric is a mediocre 2D character, his death scene is just fucking tragic. First Cedric is murdered pretty brutally, and when Harry and Cedric get back (with Harry lying on top of Cedric), Cedric is dead and Harry is in a fuck ton of pain, physically and emotionally. We transition from one of the darkest scenes in the series (the graveyard scene) to everyone (including Cedric's dad) clapping and cheering, and the band playing an upbeat triumphant song. The juxtaposition is perfect. And when Hagrid becomes the first to notice something is wrong, we know shit is about to go down. The band quickly stops as they realize someone is hurt, and the adults (Fudge and Dumbledore) quickly realize he is dead. Fudge wants to keep it quiet as a deadly, suspenseful silence permeates the audience as they all try to see what happens. And then Cedric's dad, with no regard to anything, pushes through people to get to his dead son. His screams and cries of anguish are perfect acting. And when he shouts about his son, the audience realizes Cedric is dead; we pan over their reactions as they realize Cedric has been killed. The audience's sorrow then contradicts with the aesthetics of the scene: most of them are wearing colorful clothes and they have Gryffindor and Hufflepuff flags and tattoos for the celebration of the final tournament. Again, amazing visual juxtaposition. And Harry, in one last desperate attempt to save Cedric, tries to cling to his body and not let go. So, even though I didn't care much about Cedric, this scene made me feel terrible for him and for everyone who knew him.

[@KatieLHall-fy1hw]

That all being said, I managed to develop an attachment to Cedric in the books (he was under-utilized there as well, but they gave enough to me to feel invested in him anyway), and that was enough to make me latch onto movie Cedric regardless, so... I cried at his death scene. I hope that all makes sense! My wording isn't always the best haha ^__^;;

[@davidmhh9977]

Looking at their relationship, this seems really close to being set up, but then it just never really comes together. They're set up as rivals even before Goblet of Fire, since they're on opposing houses and quidditch teams. In the tournament, they're not just competing against each other. Cedric believes Harry cheated to enter the competition, which causes even more conflict. All the factors that made them rivals; however, could have contributed to them being really good friends. They have similar interests and values. They start to burry the hatchet and help each other, but they it never grows beyond each person performing a favor for the other.

[@hittingyouoverthehead]

I agree that it would have been cool but it would not have worked in a realistic sense. Cedric is this cool, popular jock like kid who is 2 or 3 years older than Harry. Harry is hated by all of Hufflepuff house (aka Cedric's house) and is a joke to everyone else because he's a scrawny little 14 year old who's the fourth contestant in a TRIwizard Tournament. Those two wouldn't be friends. Of course you can make the argument that that hanging out with the guy his entire house hates is what would make Cedric the nice and likable guy whose death would impact us, the audience. But then, the age difference is still an issue. A 16-17 year old just randomly hanging out with a 14 year old in school is kind of weird.
