Triwizard Tournament Fact File Body Text

The Triwizard tournament was a 700 year old competition established between three schools; [Hogwarts](/fact-file/locations/hogwarts) School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, [Durmstrang Institute](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/durmstrang-institute) and and [Beauxbatons Academy](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/beauxbatons-academy) of Magic. One champion from each school was selected to compete in three magical tasks, with their name magically being selected from the [Goblet of Fire](/fact-file/objects/the-goblet-of-fire). The winner of the competition claimed [the Triwizard Cup](/fact-file/objects/the-triwizard-cup) along with a monetary prize. After a hiatus of a number of years, due to a high fatality rate, the Triwizard Tournament returned to Hogwarts during Harry's fourth year at school.

Fleur Delacour Fact File Body Text

A pupil at French wizarding school, [Beauxbatons](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/beauxbatons-academy), Fleur Delacour travelled to [Hogwarts](/fact-file/locations/hogwarts) for the [Triwizard Tournament](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/triwizard-tournament). Her name was chosen alongside [Cedric Diggory](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/cedric-diggory), [Viktor Krum](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/viktor-krum)  and, controversially, an unexpected fourth competitor, [Harry Potter](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/harry-potter). Fleur was a popular champion, largely due to her bravery, and skills and quick mind, but also in part to her quarter-[Veela](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/veela) heritage. Fleur returned to France after the Tournament but soon found her way back to the UK where she met and fell in love with Ron's older brother, [Bill Weasley](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/bill-weasley), while working at [Gringotts](/fact-file/locations/gringotts).

One of two dragon species native to the British Isles, the Common Welsh Green could be found mostly in the mountainous regions of Wales. Largely avoidant of humans, the Common Welsh Green was a mostly gentle creature and preyed mainly on sheep. This was also the dragon breed that [Fleur Delacour](/fact-file/characters-and-pets/fleur-delacour) faced in the [Triwizard Tournament](/fact-file/magical-miscellany/triwizard-tournament), but the Common Welsh Green's melodious roar and narrow jets of fire were no match for the young witch's Slumbering Spell.

Ministry of Magic classifications  Fact File Body Text

Within [the Ministry of Magic](/fact-file/locations/the-ministry-of-magic), the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures created a system of rules to determine whether a magical creature was a "beast or being" and also gave each creature a classification in terms of how dangerous it was - or not! The rating was measured with "X" being the least dangerous and "XXXXX" being the most dangerous. So, a Flobberworm, for example, would be rated X, while something far more scary, such as a [Chinese Fireball](/fact-file/creatures/chinese-fireball) dragon, would be XXXXX.
