Thing you're changing: Cedric and Harry didn't grab the Cup at the same time How do you think this would have affected the outcome of the books? I think for this, it depends on who actually grabbed the Cup, obviously. If Harry grabbed the Cup, I think things would have been similar, but he wouldn't have been burdened with the death of Cedric. I think Harry always put too much blame on himself for things that were out of his control. On the other hand, if Cedric had been the one to grab the Cup, would the Death Eaters have kidnapped Harry anyway? Would they have stormed the pitch to bring him to their Master? Or would they have just laid low? And if Cedric's body had been sent back without Harry's statements that Voldemort was back, maybe everyone would have believed it more readily than when Harry said it to "get attention."
