Harry, did you put your name into the copper fire? Dumbledore said calmly. The delivery of this line from Michael Gambon will probably go down in history, but for all the attention this scene has received over the years, I do actually think there's
a much bigger question that's always been overlooked, and that's why didn't Harry just refuse to participate? I mean, he was just 14 years old, hadn't entered in the competition himself, and now he just had to keep going.
