Harry Potter World Cup: Goodbye, Cedric Diggory

Although Cedric Diggory was sadly beaten in the Harry Potter World Cup yesterday, the lovely people at MTV have put together a video, commemorating his short life.

“It took three rounds and well over one million votes to make it happen, but here we are: Cedric Diggory is dead — again — and his dreams of winning the Harry Potter World Cup have died with him.

It's the understatement of the tournament to say that Cedric was a divisive figure in the World Cup. Whether you loved or hated his presence, there's no doubting that the pride of Hufflepuff's involvement in the competition inspired you to vote, vote and vote again in one direction or the other. Now, he's gone, felled by Rubeus Hagrid by over 81,000 votes. His loss signals relief for many and heartache for others, but no matter how you feel about his presence in the World Cup, you have to give the man credit: it was a flashy exit, if nothing else.

We've whipped up a little In Memoriam video to say goodbye to Cedric Diggory once and for all. Hopefully it's a fitting tribute for those of you who loved and voted for him. For the people who didn't care for Cedric and his place in the World Cup, well, at least you get to watch the bad man kill the spare again."

Adios, Cedric.”

*tear*
Well done for getting him so far! I hope he rests in peace.

Vote for Robert Pattinson (Cedric) in MTV’s Harry Potter World Cup!

MTV’s Harry Potter World Cup has 64 of the best “Harry Potter” characters and matched them up in a series of duels for a chance at magical glory, but it’s up to YOU to decide who the greatest “Potter” character of all time is in this pool of wizards and witches.

Cedric Diggory, the late Hogwarts student who competed nobly and died tragically during the Triwizard Tournament, has entered the Harry Potter World Cup. Perhaps more importantly, however, is the fact that Robert Pattinson has stepped into the arena. Next to him, fan-favorite witch Luna Lovegood has also kicked off her first round match-up in the Hogsmeade division, which wraps up on Sunday (June 27) at midnight.

(3) Cedric Diggory vs. (14) Olympe Maxime
Let’s not beat around the bush: if Cedric Diggory advances deep into the Hogsmeade division, is it because of his merits as a character or his alter-ego’s superstar status? No doubt that his death in “Goblet of Fire” was a profoundly powerful moment that irreversibly changed the course of the “Potter” story, but is that where he’ll get his support, or will voters sink their teeth into Cedric for “other reasons”?
And as far as Madame Maxime is concerned, is the Beauxbatons giant tall enough to stand up against the height of the “Twilight” crowd? The outcome of this match-up could be very telling for the rest of the World Cup — with enough momentum on his side, Cedric could become the most unstoppable force in the entire tournament.

SO GO VOTE FOR CEDRIC NOW!!
