Jump to: Spoilers (1)
- Professor Moody: The Goblet of Fire is an exceptionally powerful magical object. Only an exceptionally powerful Confundus charm could have hoodwinked it! Magic way beyond the talents of a fourth year.
- Igor Karkaroff: You seem to have given this a fair bit of thought, Mad-Eye!
- Professor Moody: It was once my job to think as Dark Wizards do, Karkaroff. Perhaps you remember.
- [discussing inviting dates to the Yule Ball]
- Ron: This is mad! At this rate, we'll be the only ones in our year without dates! Well, us and Neville.
- Harry: If you say so.
- [laughing]
- Harry: Yeah, but then again he could take himself.
- Hermione: It might interest you to know that Neville's already got someone.
- Ron: What? Now I'm really depressed. Oi, Hermione... you're a girl.
- [haughtily]
- Hermione: Very well spotted.
- Ron: Come with one of us! It's one thing for a bloke to show up alone, but for a girl it's just sad.
- [angrily]
- Hermione: I won't be going alone, because believe it or not, someone's asked me! And I said yes!
- [exits]
- Ron: Bloody hell. She's lying, right?
- Cornelius Fudge: As Minister for Magic, it gives me great pleasure to welcome each and every one of you to the Finals of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup. Let the match begin!
- Ron: Oh look, Mum's sent me something.
- Ron: Dress robes? For what?
- [pulls some frilly robes from the package]
- Ron: Mum sent me a dress!
- Harry: Well, it does match your eyes. Is there a bonnet?
- [pulls out more lace]
- Harry: Ah ha!
- Ron: Nose down, Harry. Ginny, this must be for you.
- Ginny: I'm not wearing that, it's ghastly.
- [laughing]
- Hermione: They're not for Ginny, they're for you. Dress robes.
- Harry: Why do they have to travel in packs? And how are you supposed to get one on their own to ask them?
- [Stops in front of a group of girls, hesitates, then continues walking]
- Ron: Blimey, Harry. You've slayed dragons. If you can't get a date, who can?
- Harry: I think I'd take the dragon now.
- Cedric Diggory: I realize I never really thanked you properly for tipping me off about those dragons.
- Harry: Forget about it. I'm sure you would've done the same for me.
- Cedric Diggory: Exactly. You know the Prefects' bathroom on the fifth floor? It's not a bad place for a bath. Just take your egg and... mull things over in the hot water.
- Hermione: Harry, you told me you'd figured that egg out weeks ago! The task is two days from now!
- [sarcastically]
- Harry: Really? I had no idea. I suppose Viktor's already figured it out.
- Hermione: Wouldn't know. We don't actually talk about the tournament. Actually, we don't really talk at all. Viktor's more of a physical being.
- [Harry laughs and Hermione blushes]
- Hermione: I just mean he's not particularly loquacious. Mostly, he watches me study. It's a bit annoying, actually. You are trying to figure this egg out, aren't you?
- Harry: What's that supposed to mean?
- Hermione: It just means these tasks are designed to test you. In the most brutal way, they're almost cruel. And... I'm scared for you. You got by the dragons mostly on nerve. I'm not sure it's going to be enough this time.
- [referring to Professor Moody]
- Ron: Brilliant, isn't he? Completely demented, of course. Terrifying to be in the same room with him. But he's really been there, you know? He's looked evil in the eye!
- [darkly]
- Hermione: There's a reason those curses are unforgivable.
- Hermione: Look at this! I can't believe it, she's done it again!
- [reading from the Daily Prophet]
- Hermione: 'Miss Granger, a plain but ambitious girl, seems to be developing a taste for famous wizards. Her latest prey, sources report, is none other than the Bulgarian bon-bon Viktor Krum. No word yet on how Harry Potter's taking this latest emotional blow.'
- Hermione: Victor's gone to get drinks. Would you care to join us?
- Ron: Yeah, that's what I think.
- Hermione: You know the solution, then, don't you?
- Ron: Go on.
- Hermione: Next time there's a ball pluck up the courage to ask me before someone else does! And not as a last resort!
- Ron: Well... that... that's completely off the point...
- Ron: No, we would not care to join you and *Victor*.
- Hermione: What's got your wand in a knot?
- Ron: He's from Durmstrang! You're fraternizing with the enemy!
- Hermione: The enemy? Who was it wanting his autograph? Besides the whole point of the tournament is international magical cooperation. To make friends!
- Ron: I think he's got a bit more than friendship on his mind. He's using you.
- Hermione: How dare you! Besides, I can take care of myself!
- Ron: Doubt it. He's way too old.
- Hermione: What? That's what you think?
- [after Harry almost dies in the First Task]
- Ron: Yeah... it is, isn't it. I suppose I was a bit distraught.
- [smiles weakly]
- [in disbelief]
- Hermione: Boys!
- Ron: I reckon you'd have to be barking mad to put your own name in the Goblet of Fire.
- [coldly]
- Harry: Caught on, have you? Took you long enough.
- Ron: I wasn't the only one who thought you'd done it. Everyone was saying it behind your back.
- [sarcastically]
- Harry: Brilliant. That makes me feel loads better.
- Ron: At least I warned you about the dragons.
- Harry: Hagrid warned me about the dragons.
- Ron: No, I did! Don't you remember? I told Hermione to tell you that Seamus told me that Parvati told Dean that Hagrid was looking for you! Seamus never actually told me anything, so it was really me all along. I thought we'd be alright, you know, after you figured that out.
- Harry: Who... who could possibly figure that out? It's completely mental.
- [about Krum]
- Ron: Ruddy pumpkin head, isn't he?
- Professor Snape: Potter, what's your hurry? Congratulations. Your performance in the Black Lake was inspiring. Gilllyweed, am I correct?
- [shuts the door in Harry's face]
- Harry: Yes sir.
- Professor Snape: Ingenious. A rather rare herb, Gillyweed. Not something found in your everyday garden. Nor is this.
- [holds up a bottle]
- Professor Snape: Know what it is?
- [sarcastically]
- Harry: Bubble juice, sir?
- Professor Snape: Veritaserum. Three drops of this and You-Know-Who himself would spill his darkest secrets. The use of it on a student is, regrettably, forbidden. However, should you ever steal from my personal stores again, my hand might just slip over your morning pumpkin juice.
- Harry: I haven't stolen anything.
- Professor Snape: Don't lie to me! Gillyweed may be innocuous, but Boomslang skin? Lacewing flies? You and your little friends are brewing Polyjuice Potion, and believe me; I'm going to find out why!
- Professor Moody: Alastor Moody. Ex-Auror, Ministry malcontent, and your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I am here because Dumbledore asked me. End of story, goodbye, the end! Any questions? When it comes to the Dark Arts I believe in a practical approach. But first, which of you can tell me how many Unforgivable Curses there are?
- Hermione: Three, sir.
- Professor Moody: And they are so named?
- Hermione: Because they are unforgivable. The use of any one of them will...
- Professor Moody: Earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban. Correct. The Ministry says you are too young to see what these curses do. I say different! You need to know what you're up against. You need to be prepared...
- [as he turns to the blackboard again, Seamus ducks under his desk]
- Professor Moody: You need to find another place to put your chewing gum besides the underside of your desk, Mr. Finnegan!
- [whispering]
- Seamus: No way, the old codger can see out of the back of his head!
- [throws a piece of chalk at him]
- Professor Moody: And hear across classrooms!
- Dumbledore: Do you know who I am? Do you?
- Professor Moody: Albus Dumbledore.
- Dumbledore: Are you Alastor Moody?
- Professor Moody: ...no.
- Professor Moody: What was it like? What was he like?
- Harry: Who?
- Professor Moody: The Dark Lord. What was it like to stand in his presence?
- Harry: ...I dunno... It was like I'd fallen into one of my dreams. Into one of my nightmares.
- Professor Moody: Were there others? In the graveyard, were there others?
- Harry: ...I don't think I said anything about a graveyard, Professor.
- Professor Moody: SPOILER:
- [mocking Hagrid]
- Professor Moody: 'Marvelous creatures, Dragons, aren't they'. Do you think that miserable oaf would've sent you into the woods if I hadn't suggested it? Do you think Cedric Diggory would've told you to open the egg underwater if I hadn't told him first myself? Do you think Neville Longbottom, the witless wonder, could've provided you with Gillyweed if I hadn't given him the book that led him strait to it? HUH?
- [points at his head as if to say, "Use your brain"]
- Harry: It was you from the beginning! You put my name into the Goblet of Fire! You bewitched Krum!
- [mocking Harry]
- Professor Moody: But... But... But... But...
- [normal voice]
- Professor Moody: You won because I made it so, Potter! You ended up in that graveyard because it was meant to be so! And now the deed is done! The blood that runs in your veins runs within the Dark Lord! Imagine how he will reward me when he learns that I have once and for all silenced the great Harry Potter!
- Barty Crouch Junior: I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
- Hermione: Harry? Is that you?
- Harry: Yeah.
- Hermione: How are you feeling? Ok? The key is to concentrate. After that, you just have to...
- Harry: Battle a dragon.
- [gasps and starts hugging Harry. Then a camera flash breaks them apart]
- Rita Skeeter: Young love! How... stirring. If everything goes unfortunately today, you two may even make the front page!
- Viktor Krum: You have no business here! This tent is for champions, and friends.
- Rita Skeeter: No matter. We got what we wanted.
- Voldemort: The Boy-Who-Lived. How lies have fed your legend, Harry! Do you want to know what really happened thirteen years ago? Shall I divulge how I truly lost my powers? It was love. You see, when dear sweet Lily Potter gave her life for her only son, it provided him with the ultimate protection, I could not touch him. It was old magic, something I should have foreseen. But no matter, no matter, things have changed. I CAN TOUCH YOU... NOW!
- [He places the pad of his finger on Harry's scar, and Harry immediately screams out in agony]
- Voldemort: Astounding what a few drops of your blood will do, eh, Harry?
- Ron: Do you think we'll ever just have a quiet year at Hogwarts?
- HarryHermione: No.
- Ron: Yeah, didn't think so. Oh well, what's life without a few dragons?
- Hermione: Everything's going to change now, isn't it?
- Harry: Yes.
- Hermione: Promise you'll write this summer, both of you.
- Ron: Oh, I won't. You know I won't.
- Hermione: Harry will, won't you?
- Harry: Yeah, every week.
- Hermione: Harry! Are you alright? You must be freezing! Personally, I think you behaved admirably.
- Harry: I finished last, Hermione.
- [kisses him on the top of the head]
- Hermione: Next to last. Fleur never got past 'ze grindylows'!
- Neville: Oh my god! I've killed Harry Potter!
- [helping a speechless and queasy looking Ron into the common room]
- Ginny: It's ok, Ron. It's alright. It doesn't matter.
- Ginny: Actually, he sort of screamed at her. It was a bit frightening.
- Harry: What did you do then?
- Ron: What else? I ran for it!
- Harry: What happened to you?
- Ginny: He just asked Fleur Delacour out.
- Hermione: What?
- Harry: What did she say?
- Hermione: No, of course.
- [Ron shakes his head in pained embarrassment]
- Hermione: She said yes?
- Ron: Don't be silly. There she was, just walking by... you know how I like it when they walk... I couldn't help it... it just sort of slipped out!
- Neville: Amazing! Amazing!
- Harry: Neville, you're doing it again.
- Professor McGonagall: This can't go on Albus. First the dark mark, now this?
- Dumbledore: Don't let him know though, he must be anxious enough as it is, knowing what lies ahead. Then again, we all are.
- Dumbledore: What do you suggest Minerva?
- Professor McGonagall: Put an end to it! Don't let Potter compete!
- Dumbledore: You heard Barty. The rules are clear.
- Professor McGonagall: Well the devil with Barty and his rules! And since when did you accommodate the Ministry?
- Professor Snape: Headmaster I too find it difficult to believe this mere coincidence, however, if we are to truly discover the meaning of these events, perhaps we should, for the time being, let them unfold.
- Professor McGonagall: Do nothing? Offer him up as bait? Potter is a boy! Not a piece of meat!
- Dumbledore: I agree with Severus. Alastor, keep an eye on Harry will you?
- Professor Moody: I can do that.
- Ron: Blimey, Dad! How far up are we?
- [from below]
- Lucius Malfoy: Well, put it this way. If it rains, you'll be the first to know.
- [boasting]
- Malfoy: Father and I are in the minister's box. By personal invitation of Cornelius Fudge himself.
- [poking Draco with his cane]
- Lucius Malfoy: Don't boast, Draco.
- [hits the railing above him with the top of his cane, talking to Harry]
- Lucius Malfoy: Do enjoy yourself, won't you? While you can.
- [looking at Cedric's body]
- Voldemort: Awww, tsk, tsk, tsk...
- [nudges Cedric's face with his foot]
- Voldemort: Such a handsome boy.
- Harry: Don't touch him!
- [Voldemort looks up at Harry]
- [sarcastically]
- Voldemort: Harry! I'd almost forgotten you were here.
- [normal voice]
- Voldemort: Standing on the bones of my father. I'd introduce you, but rumor has it you're almost as famous as me these days.
- [in his letter]
- Sirius Black: "Harry, I couldn't risk sending Hedwig. Since the World Cup the Ministry has been intercepting more and more owls, and she's too easily recognized. We need to talk, Harry, face to face. Meet me in the Gryffindor Common Room at one o'clock, this Saturday night. And make sure you're alone. Sirius. P.S...?
- [the bird bites Harry's hand]
- Harry: AH!
- Sirius Black: "The bird bites."
- [Professor McGonagall demonstrates a waltz with Ron as her partner]
- Professor McGonagall: One-two-three, one-two-three...
- [aside]
- Harry: You're never gonna let him forget this, are you?
- [shaking their heads]
- FredGeorge: Never.
- Neville: What's wrong, Harry? You seem a little tense!
- [through teeth]
- Harry: Do I?
- Dumbledore: The Goblet of Fire! Anyone wishing to submit themselves to the tournament need only write their name upon a piece of parchment and throw it in the flame before this hour on Thursday night. Do not do so lightly! If chosen, there's no turning back. As from this moment, The Triwizard Tournament has begun!
- Dumbledore: Your attention please. I'd like to say a few words. Eternal glory! That's what awaits the student who wins The Triwizard Tournament. But to this that student must survive three tasks. Three EXTREMELY DANGEROUS tasks.
- FredGeorge: Wicked!
- Hagrid: I take after my mum. Though I didn't know her very well, she left when I was about three. Broke my dad's heart, though. You know, he was a tiny little feller, my dad. I could pick him up at the age of six, with one hand, and put him up on the dresser.
- [He and Olympe laugh]
- Hagrid: He laughed so hard at that! And then he died, about when I started school. So I had to make my own way, so to speak... but enough about me. What about you?
- Dumbledore: Well now that we're all settled in and sorted, I'd like to make an announcement. This castle will not only be your home this year but home to some very special guests as well. You see, Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event: The Triwizard Tournament. The Tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. From each school a single student is selected to compete. Now let me be clear. If chosen, you stand alone. And trust me when I say, these contest are not for the faint-hearted. But more of that later.
- [casting the Dark Mark into the night sky]
- Barty Crouch Junior: Morsmordre!
- Hermione: It's not going to work.
- George: Because it's so pathetically dim witted.
- Fred: Oh yeah?
- George: Why's that, Granger?
- Hermione: You see this?
- [gestures to a glowing circle on the floor]
- Hermione: This is an age line. Dumbledore drew it himself.
- Fred: So?
- Hermione: So a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by a dodge as pathetically dim witted as an ageing potion.
- Fred: Ah, but that's why it's so brilliant!
- Professor Moody: What are you going to do about your dragon?
- Harry: Oh... um... well, you know, I just thought I'd...
- Professor Moody: Listen to me, Potter. Your pal Diggory? By your age he could turn a whistle into a watch and have it sing you the time. Miss Delacour is as much a fairy princess as I am. As for Krum, his head may be filled with sawdust, but Karkaroff's is not. They'll have a strategy. And you can bet that it will play to Krum's strengths. Come on, Potter, what are you strengths?
- Harry: I dunno... I can fly, I mean I'm a fair flyer...
- Professor Moody: Better than fair the way I heard it.
- Harry: But I'm not allowed a broom.
- Professor Moody: You're allowed a wand...
- Seamus: It's not like I *try* to blow things up, exactly, it just sorta happens. You gotta admit though, fire is fascinating.
- Voldemort: Don't you turn your back on me, Harry Potter! I want you to look at me when I kill you! I want to see the light leave your eyes!
- [facing Voldemort]
- Harry: Have it your way!
- [both shouting together]
- HarryVoldemort: Avada Kedavara!/Expelliarmus!
- [after the dragon has run into the teachers stand]
- [yelling]
- Fred: Well done dragon!
- Cornelius Fudge: For God's sake Dumbledore, what's happened?
- [crying over Cedric's body]
- Harry: He's back! He's back! Voldemort's back! Cedric, he asked me to bring his body back. I couldn't leave him... not there!
- Dumbledore: It's all right, Harry... it's all right. He's home, you both are.
- [Rushing over to Professors Snape and McGonagall]
- Cornelius Fudge: Keep everybody in their seats, a boy has just been killed! The body must be moved, Dumbledore, there are too many people!
- [Pushing his way frantically through the crowd]
- Amos Diggory: Let me through. LET ME THROUGH! Let me through, THAT'S MY SON! That's my boy!
- [He pushes Harry's hands away and leans over Cedric's body, sobbing hysterically]
- Amos Diggory: IT'S MY BOY!
- Harry: Why are they all standing around that manky old boot?
- Harry: Ron, where are we actually going?
- Ron: Don't know...
- [to Arthur]
- Ron: Hey, Dad! Where are we going?
- Arthur Weasley: Haven't the foggiest! Keep up!
- Amos Diggory: Total shambles, as per usual.
- [points to a mirror in his office]
- Professor Moody: That's my Foe-Glass. Lets me keep an eye on my enemies. When I see the whites of their eyes, it means they're right behind me.
- [a trunk in the office rocks violently, and a low moan comes from inside]
- Professor Moody: Wouldn't even bother to tell you what's in there, wouldn't believe me if I did.
- [repeated line]
- Dumbledore: At the sound of the cannon...
- [cannon fires]
- Malfoy: Why so tense, Potter? My father and I have a bet, you see. I don't think you're going to last ten minutes in this tournament. He disagrees. He thinks you won't last five!
- Professor Moody: You stinking, cowardly, scummy...
- [running up to Professor Moody]
- Professor McGonagall: Professor Moody!
- Professor Moody: Back-shooting...
- Professor McGonagall: Wha- What are you doing?
- Professor Moody: Teaching.
- Professor McGonagall: Is that a- Is that a student?
- Professor Moody: Technically, it's a ferret.
- [dumps the ferret down Crabbe's trousers]
- Gregory Goyle: Stand still! Stand still!
- [Attempts to remove the ferret from Crabbe's trousers, only to be bitten. Moody turns and winks at a Harry, who is laughing glee]
- [laughs]
- [standing up]
- Malfoy: My father will hear about this!
- Professor Moody: Is that a threat?
- [Malfoy turns and runs]
- Professor McGonagall: Professor Moody...
- Professor Moody: IS THAT A THREAT?
- Professor McGonagall: Professor...
- Professor Moody: I CAN TELL YOU STORIES ABOUT YOUR FATHER THAT'LL CURL EVEN YOUR GREASY HAIR, BOY!
- Professor McGonagall: Alastor!
- Professor Moody: IT DOESN'T END HERE!
- Professor McGonagall: Alastor! We NEVER use transfiguration as a punishment! surely, Dumbledore told you that?
- [enraged]
- Harry: I don't give a damn what your father thinks, Malfoy! He's vile and cruel, and you're just pathetic!
- Professor Moody: He might've mentioned it.
- Professor McGonagall: Well, you will do well to remember it.
- [turns around]
- [to a group of students standing nearby]
- Professor McGonagall: Away!
- [as she walks away, Moody sticks his tongue out at her]
- [turns to Harry]
- Professor Moody: You. Come with me.
- Malfoy: Pathetic?
- [draws his wand]
- Professor Moody: OH NO, YOU DON'T, SONNY!
- [transifgures Malfoy into a ferret]
- Professor Moody: I'll teach you to curse someone when their back is turned!
- [proceeds to flick the ferret up and down]
- Harry: You're being stupid.
- Ron: Yeah, that's me. Ron Weasley, Harry Potter's stupid friend!
- [to Ron]
- Padma Patil: Don't you look... dashing.
- Cedric Diggory: For a moment there, I thought you were going to let it get me.
- Harry: For a moment there, so did I!
- James Potter: Harry! When the connection is broken you MUST get to the Portkey. We can linger for a moment to give you some time but only a moment. Do you understand?
- Cedric Diggory: Harry. Take my body back, will you? Take my body back to my father.
- Lily Potter: Let go. Sweetheart, you're ready. Let go... LET GO!
- [Moody takes a drink from his flask]
- Seamus: What do you suppose he's got there?
- Harry: I don't know, but I don't think it's pumpkin juice.
- Harry: 'Come seek us where our voices sound'.
- Hermione: The Black Lake, that's obvious.
- Harry: 'An hour long you'll have to look'.
- Hermione: Again, obvious. Though admittedly potentially problematic...
- Harry: Potentially problematic? When was the last time you held your breath underwater for an hour, Hermione?
- Dumbledore: No spell can reawaken the dead, Harry. I trust you know that. Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.
- Rita Skeeter: So tell me, Harry. Here you sit, a mere boy of 12...
- [winks]
- Rita Skeeter: Everyone loves a rebel, Harry. Speaking of your parents, were they alive, how do you think they'd feel? Proud? Or concerned that your attitude shows, at best, a pathological need for attention? The worst psychotic death wish.
- [Harry glances at Rita's notes]
- Harry: Hey, my eyes aren't glistening with the ghosts of my past!
- Harry: - I'm 14...
- Rita Skeeter: - about to compete against three students who are not only vastly more emotionally mature than yourself, but who've mastered spells that you wouldn't attempt in your dizziest daydreams. Concerned?
- Harry: I dunno, I haven't really thought about it...
- Rita Skeeter: Because you're no ordinary boy of 12 are you?
- Harry: 14.
- Rita Skeeter: Your story's legend. Do you think it was the trauma of your past that made you so keen to enter such a dangerous tournament?
- Harry: No, I didn't enter.
- Rita Skeeter: Of course you didn't.
- Voldemort: My wand, Wormtail.
- Harry: Dragons? That's the first task? You're joking!
- Hagrid: Come on, Harry. They're seriously misunderstood creatures. Although, I have to admit, that Horntail is a right nasty piece of work. Poor Ron nearly fainted just seeing them, you know.
- Harry: Ron was here?
- Hagrid: Well sure. His brother Charlie had to bring them over from Romania. Didn't Ron tell you that?
- Harry: No he didn't. He didn't tell me a thing.
- [about Hermione]
- Ron: Why do you think she won't tell us who she's going to the ball with?
- Harry: 'Cause she knows we'd take the mickey out of her if she did.
- Neville: You know, if you're interested in plants, you should use Goshawk's Guide To Herbology. There's someone in Tibet who's growing gravity resistant trees...
- Harry: Neville, no offense, but I really don't care about plants. Now, if there's a Tibetan turnip that will help me breathe underwater for an hour, great. But otherwise...
- Neville: I don't know about turnips, but you could always use gillyweed.
- Harry: You're sure about this, Neville?
- Neville: Absolutely.
- Harry: For an hour?
- Neville: Most likely.
- Harry: "Most likely?"
- Neville: Well, there's some debate among herbologists about its effectiveness in fresh water as opposed to salt water...
- Harry: You're telling me this *now*?
- Ron: What are those?
- Harry: My dress robes...
- Ron: Well, those're all right! No lace, no dodgy little collar...
- Harry: Well, I expect yours are more traditional...
- Ron: Traditional? They're ancient! I look like my great aunt Tessie!
- [takes a sniff in the underarm area]
- Ron: I smell like my great Aunt Tessie!
- [in the Prefects' Bathroom, looks at the Golden Egg with trepidation]
- Harry: I must be out of my mind.
- Voice inside the egg: Come seek us where our voices sound, we cannot sing above the ground. An hour long you'll have to look to recover what we took.
- Harry: Myrtle, there aren't Merpeople in the Black Lake, are there?
- Moaning Myrtle: Oh, very good. It took Cedric ages to riddle it out. Almost all the bubbles were gone...
- [he opens it, and it emits its usual high-pitched squeal before he slams it shut]
- Harry: I'm definitely out of my mind.
- Moaning Myrtle: I'd try putting it in the water if I were you.
- [startled]
- Harry: Myrtle!
- Moaning Myrtle: Hello Harry! Long time no see! I was circling a blocked drain the other day, I could swear I saw a bit of Polyjuice Potion. Not being a bad boy again, are we?
- Harry: Polyjuice Potion? Kicked the habit. Myrtle, did you say try putting it in the water?
- Moaning Myrtle: That's what he did, the other boy. The handsome one. Cedric. Well go on, open it.
- [opens the egg underwater]
- Barty Crouch Junior: Hello, father!
- Barty Crouch: You are no son of mine...
- Voldemort: I'm going to kill you, Harry Potter. I'm going to destroy you. After tonight, no one will ever again question my power. After tonight if they speak of you, they'll only speak of how you begged for death. And how I being a merciful Lord... obliged.
- Harry: I didn't put my name in that cup! I don't want eternal glory, I just wanna be... look, I don't know what happened tonight and I don't know why. It just did.
- Harry: In the graveyard, my wand and Voldemort's sort of... connected.
- Dumbledore: Priori Incantatem.
- Voldemort: Nagini tells me that the old Muggle caretaker is standing right outside the door. Step aside, Wormtail, so that I can give our guest a proper greeting. Avada Kedavra!
- Professor McGonagall: Inside every girl is a swan, waiting to burst out in flight.
- [whispering]
- Ron: Something is about to burst out of Eloise Midgen, but I don't think it's a swan.
- Karkaroff's Aide: May I have your arm?
- Parvati Patil: Arm, leg, I'm yours.
- [repeated line]
- Ron: Bloody hell!
- Professor McGonagall: Professor Moody! What are you doing?
- Professor Moody: Teaching.
- Professor McGonagall: Is that a- is that a student?
- Professor Moody: Technically it's a ferret.
- Ron: Piss off.
- Hermione: Ron, you spoiled everything!
- Hermione: Ronald would like me to tell you that Seamus told him that Dean was told by Parvarti that Hagrid's looking for you.
- Harry: Is that right? Well... what?
- Hermione: Uh... Dean was told by Parvarti... please don't ask me to say it again. Hagrid's looking for you.
- Harry: Well you can tell Ronald...
- Hermione: I'm not an owl!
- Dumbledore: People change in the maze. Oh, find the cup if you can. But be very wary; you could just lose yourselves along the way.
- [repeated line]
- Padma PatilParvati Patil: Hi, Harry!
- Sirius Black: I don't have much time, Harry, so let's get right to it. Did you or did you not put your name into the Goblet of Fire?
- Harry: What are you saying?
- Sirius Black: I'm saying the devils are inside the walls. Igor Karkaroff. He was a Death Eater and no one, *no one* stops being a Death Eater. Then there's Barty Crouch. Heart of stone, sent his own son to Azkaban.
- Harry: Do you think one of them put my name in the Goblet?
- Sirius Black: I haven't a clue who put your name in the Goblet, Harry, but whoever did is no friend to you. People die in this tournament.
- Harry: I'm not ready for this, Sirius!
- Harry: You don't have a choice
- Harry: No!
- Sirius Black: Shh. I had to ask. Now tell me about this dream of yours. You mentioned Wormtail and Voldemort, but who was the third man in the room?
- Harry: I dunno.
- Sirius Black: You didn't hear a name?
- Harry: No. Voldemort was giving him a job to do. Something important.
- Sirius Black: And what was that?
- Harry: He wants... me. I don't know why, but he was going to use this man to get to me. But, I mean, it was only a dream, right?
- Sirius Black: Yes... it's just a dream. Look, Harry, the Death Eaters at the world cup; your name rising out of the Goblet of Fire; these are not just coincidences! Hogwarts isn't safe anymore.
- [turns around and sees Hermione]
- Parvati Patil: She looks beautiful.
- [staring at Cho]
- Harry: Yes, she does.
- Dumbledore: Harry, feel free to treat yourself to a licorice snap. But be careful, they're a wee bit sharp.
- Harry: I just wondered if...
- [turns to head into the Owlery]
- Cho Chang: Harry! I really am... sorry.
- [manages a weak, embarrassed smiled as she descends the staircase]
- [bird squawks loudly in the background]
- Harry: Ijustwanderedifmaybeyouwantedtogototheballwithme!
- Cho Chang: Sorry, I didn't catch that.
- Harry: I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to go to the ball with me...
- Cho Chang: Oh.
- [Suddenly looking very uncomfortable]
- Cho Chang: Harry, I'm sorry but someone's already asked me. And well, I've, I've said I'll go with him.
- Harry: Okay, great, good, fine, great, no problem.
- Dumbledore: Curiosity is not a sin, Harry. However, from time to time, you should exercise caution.
- [to Harry]
- Dumbledore: I never liked these curtains. I set them on fire in my fourth year. Accidentally, of course.
- [first lines]
- Frank Bryce: Bloody kids!
- Voldemort: You've been taught how to duel, I presume? First we bow to each other
- [Voldemort bows, Harry does not]
- Voldemort: Come now, Harry, the niceties must be observed. Dumbledore would not want you to forget your manners. I said, "Bow."
- [uses a curse to make Harry bow]
- Professor McGonagall: Now, Mr. Weasley, place your right hand on my waist.
- Ron: Where?
- Rita Skeeter: This is cozy.
- Harry: It's a broom cupboard.
- Rita Skeeter: Well you should feel right at home, then.
- Arthur Weasley: Get out of the kitchen, Ron! Everybody's hungry!
- [together]
- FredGeorge: Yeah, get out of the kitchen, Ron!
- [to the twins]
- Arthur Weasley: Feet off the table!
- [together]
- FredGeorge: Feet off the table!
- [put feet back on the table]
- [admiring the interior of the tent]
- Harry: I love magic.
- Professor McGonagall: The house of Godric Gryffindor has commanded the respect of the wizarding world for nearly ten centuries. I will not have you, in the course of a single evening, besmirching that name by behaving like a babbling, bumbling band of baboons!
- [whispering to George]
- Fred: Try saying that five times fast.
- [whispering]
- George: Babbling, bumbling band of baboons.
- [whispering]
- Fred: Babbling, bumbling band of baboons.
- Ron: There's no one like Krum! He's like a bird the way he rides the wind! He's more than an athlete! He's an artist.
- Ginny: I think you're in love, Ron.
- Ron: Shut up!
- [grabs one of Ron's hands and begins singing]
- George: Victor, I love you!
- [grabs Ron's other hand]
- Fred: Victor, I do!
- FredGeorgeHarry: When we're apart my heart beats only for you!
- Seamus: Blimey! That's one big woman.
- [after getting his kiss from Fleur]
- Ron: Merci...
- Professor Moody: Stupid ceiling.
- Harry: What's with the flower? Hagrid... have you combed your hair?
- Hagrid: 'S a matter of fact I have. You might want to try the same thing now and again.
- Professor McGonagall: Mr. Potter, are you and Miss Patil ready?
- Harry: Ready, Professor?
- Professor McGonagall: To dance! It's tradition that the three champions-well in this case four- are the first to dance. Surely I told you?
- Harry: No.
- Professor McGonagall: Oh, well, now you know.
- [after Moody humilates him by turning him into a ferret and bouncing him up and down]
- Malfoy: My father will hear about this!
- Professor McGonagall: Well you will do well to remember it.
- [turns around]
- [to a group of students gathered nearby]
- Professor McGonagall: Away!
- [as she walks away, Moody sticks his tongue out at her]
- [turns to Harry]
- Professor Moody: You, come with me.
- Professor Moody: Is that a threat?
- [Draco turns and runs]
- Professor McGonagall: Professor Moody...
- [yelling after him]
- Professor Moody: I could tell you stories about your father that would curl even your greasy hair, boy!
- Professor McGonagall: Alastor!
- Professor Moody: It doesn't end here!
- Professor McGonagall: Alastor! We never use transfiguration as a punishment. Surely Dumbledore told you that.
- Professor Moody: He might've mentioned it.
- Peter Pettigrew: SPOILER: Bone of the father, unwillingly given.
- [adds an old bone to cauldron]
- Peter Pettigrew: Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed.
- [cuts off his hand which drops into the cauldron]
- Peter Pettigrew: Blood of the enemy, forcibly taken.
- [cuts Harry's arm and adds blood to the cauldron]
- Peter Pettigrew: The Dark Lord shall rise again!
- Dumbledore: SPOILER: Today we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Cedric Diggory was, as you all know, exceptionally hard working, infinitely fair-minded, and most importantly, a fierce, fierce friend. Therefore, I feel you have the right to know exactly how he died. You see, Cedric Diggory was murdered, by Lord Voldemort. The Ministry of Magic does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so I feel would be an insult to his memory. Now the pain we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me, and, reminds us, that though we may come from different countries and speak in different tongues, our hearts beat as one. In light of the recent events, the bonds of friendship made this year will be more important than ever. Remember that, and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain. You remember that, and we'll celebrate a boy who was kind, and honest, and brave, and true. Right to the very end.
- [after the Death Eaters have Apparated to the graveyard]
- Voldemort: Welcome, my friends. Thirteen years it's been, and yet, here you stand as if it were only yesterday. I confess myself... disappointed. Not one of you tried to find me...
- [running around and angrily ripping masks off several followers]
- Voldemort: Crabbe! Macnair! Goyle! Not even you, Lucius.
- [sinking to the ground]
- Lucius Malfoy: My Lord, had I detected any sign... a whisper of your whereabouts...
- Voldemort: Oh there were signs, my slippery friend, and more than whispers.
- Lucius Malfoy: I assure you, my Lord, I have never renounced the old ways. The face I have been obliged to present since your... absence...
- [removes his hood]
- Lucius Malfoy: That is my true mask.
- [from extended version]
- Igor Karkaroff: You don't fool me, Severus. You are scared. Admit it!
- Professor Snape: I have nothing to be scared of, Igor. Can you say the same?
- [a highly agitated Karkaroff is following Snape around outside the Yule Ball as Snape patrols through the carriages parked on th]
- Igor Karkaroff: It's happening again, like before, and soon neither you nor anyone else will be able to deny it.
- Professor Snape: I've told you already Igor, I see no reason to discuss it.
- [notices one carriage that is definitely occupied and blasts the door open with his wand, shooing out the students]
- Professor Snape: Lumos! Ten points from Hufflepuff, Fawcett, and the same from Ravenclaw, Stebbins.
- Igor Karkaroff: It's a sign, Severus, you know it is.
- Professor Snape: Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
- Igor Karkaroff: Really? Then perhaps you wouldn't mind rolling up your sleeve them, huh?
- [reaches for Snape's left arm, which Snape quickly pulls out of his way]
- [from extended version]
- [the Trio sits around the fireplace in the Gryffindor Common Room, dicussing the murder of Barty Crouch, Sr. that has just taken]
- Ron: They'll cover this up, you watch. Fudge'll sell his soul before this gets out in the Daily Prophet.
- Harry: But why?
- Ron: Look, nobody liked Crouch. I know this from my father. Loads of people wanted him dead. But, he was a Ministry Official. It's not even like he turned up stiff in Knockturn Alley. He was murdered at Hogwarts. This is a big deal.
- Hermione: It can't be coincidence... Harry's dreams, his scar hurting, the Dark Mark, his name coming out of the Goblet of Fire. Surviving the Tournament isn't the answer anymore Harry. It's bigger than this. And I really think you should go to Dumbledore.
- Ron: Yeah.
- [from extended version]
- Ron: What do you suppose is on Karkaroff's arm?
- Harry: I dunno.
- Hermione: Boomslang skin and Lacewing flies... you're sure those are the two ingredients Snape mentioned?
- Harry: Positive, why?
- Hermione: Well, he thinks we're brewing Polyjuice Potion doesn't he?
- Harry: I don't care what Snape thinks, I've got bigger problems than detention. Something's coming closer.
- [touches his stinging scar]
- Harry: I can feel it.
- [from extended version]
- Dumbledore: Hogwarts, let's entertain our friends in the best way we can, all stand!
- [the entire student body stands up as one]
- Dumbledore: Maestro, if you will!
- [Professor Flitwick and Dumbledore both begin conducting the students as they sing the school song]
- Hogwarts student body: 'Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy warty Hogwarts, teach us something please. Whether we be old and bald or young with scabby knees. Our heads could do with filling with some interesting stuff, for now they're bare and full or air, dead flies and bits of fluff!'
- [as they are singing, the Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students merely stare, as if they can't believe what they are seeing/hearin]
- Barty Crouch: Chinese Fireball! Ooooo!
- [after the trio is nearly hit by several Stunning Spells]
- Arthur Weasley: Stop! That's my son!
- Harry: What crime?
- Hermione: It's the Dark Mark, Harry. It's HIS Mark.
- [glances up at the huge skull and snake in the air]
- Harry: Voldemort? Those people, in the masks, they're his too aren't they? His followers.
- Arthur Weasley: Death Eaters.
- [to the rest of the Ministry Wizards]
- Barty Crouch: Follow me.
- Harry: Uh, there was a man, earlier.
- [he points in the direction where he saw Crouch, Jr]
- Harry: There.
- Barty Crouch: All of you, this way!
- Arthur Weasley: A man, Harry? Who was he?
- [he runs up to the kids]
- Harry: I don't know. I didn't see his face.
- Arthur Weasley: Ron, Harry, Hermione are you alright?
- Ron: We came back for Harry.
- [Whipping out his wand and pointing it threateningly between the three kids]
- Barty Crouch: Which of you conjured it?
- Arthur Weasley: Barty, you can't be serious...
- Barty Crouch: DO NOT LIE! You have been discovered at the scene of the crime!
- Harry: Crime?
- Arthur Weasley: Barty, they're just kids.
- George: Ready Fred?
- Fred: Ready George!
- FredGeorge: Bottoms up!
- [they drink the aging potion together]
- [referring to the mayhem at the World Cup and the Dark Mark]
- Hermione: This is horrible! How can the ministry not know who conjured it? Wasn't there any security?
- Ron: Loads, according to Dad. That's what worries them so much. It happened right under their noses.
- Rita Skeeter: What a charismatic quartet! Hello, I'm Rita Skeeter. I write for the daily prophet. But, of course, you know that, don't you? It's you we don't know. You're the juicy news. What quirks lurk beneath those rosy cheeks? What mysteries do the muscles mask? Does courage lie beneath those curls? In short, what makes a champion tick? Me, myself and I want to know. Not to mention my ravid readers. So, who's feeling up to sharing? Shall we start with the youngest? Lovely.
- Harry: Dragons, that's the first task. They've got one for each of us.
- Cedric Diggory: Are you serious? And Fleur and Krum, do they...?
- Harry: Yes.
- Cedric Diggory: Right. Hey, listen, about the badges. I've asked them not to wear them...
- Harry: Don't worry about it.
- Harry: You're a right foul git, you know that?
- Ron: You think so?
- Harry: I know so!
- Ron: Anything else?
- Harry: Yeah, stay away from me!
- Ron: Fine.
- Hermione: Your wand, Harry! Your wand!
- Fred: We knew you wouldn't die, Harry!
- George: Might lose a leg.
- Fred: Or an arm.
- George: But pack it in all together?
- FredGeorge: Never!
- Padma Patil: Is that Hermione Granger with Viktor Krum?
- Ron: No. Absolutely not.
- Hagrid: I remember when I first met you all. Biggest bunch of misfits I ever set eyes on! You reminded me of myself a little. And here we all are, four years later.
- Ron: We're still a bunch of misfits.
- Hagrid: Well maybe. But you've all got each other. And Harry of course, soon to be THE YOUNGEST TRI-WIZARD CHAMPION THERE'S EVER BEEN! HOORAY!
- Professor Moody: So, what curse shall we see first? Weasley!
- [the spider grows to a huge size]
- Professor Moody: Imperio!
- [the spider begins hopping around the room, onto student's clothes, faces, etc. Everyone starts laughing]
- Professor Moody: Don't worry, she's completely harmless! If she bites... she's lethal!
- [laughs with everyone]
- Professor Moody: Talented, isn't she? What shall I have her do next? Jump out the window?
- [the spider jumps toward the window, which is closed, and slams into the glass. Everyone stops laughing at once]
- Professor Moody: Drown herself?
- [the spider jumps to a pail of water and poises on the rim, ready to dive. Then he brings her back to his arms]
- Professor Moody: Scores of wizards and witches claimed that they only did You-Know-Who's bidding under the effects of the Imperius Curse. But here's the rub... how do we sort out the liars?
- [scared]
- Ron: Yes?
- Professor Moody: Stand!
- [Ron does]
- Professor Moody: Give us a curse.
- Ron: Well... my dad did tell me about one. The Imperius Curse?
- Professor Moody: Oh, yeah, your dad would know all about that one. Gave the Ministry a lot of trouble at one time. Perhaps this will show you why.
- [opens a jar full of spiders and picks one out]
- Professor Moody: Hello, my little beauty! Engorgio.
- [Moody walks to Hermione's desk and places the spider in front of her]
- Professor Moody: Perhaps you'd like to give us the last curse, Miss Granger?
- [tears swimming in her eyes, Hermione shakes her head vigorously]
- Professor Moody: No?
- [pause]
- Professor Moody: AVADA KEDAVRA!
- [with a flash of green light, the spider lets out one final squeak, then stops moving. Harry is watching from a desk across]
- Professor Moody: The Killing Curse. Only one wizard is known to have survived it. And he's sitting in this room.
- [he stands in front of Harry]
- Dumbledore: Send a message to Azkaban. I think they'll find they're missing a prisoner.
- [gloating]
- Barty Crouch Junior: I'll be welcomed back like a hero!
- Dumbledore: Perhaps. Personally, I've never had much time for heroes.
- Professor Moody: Let's have another curse. C'mon, c'mon.
- [Moody lifts the curse, and again palms the spider. Neville is left standing at the desk, looking shell-shocked]
- [Neville's hand slowly goes up, and Moody calls on him]
- Professor Moody: Longbottom, isn't it? Professor Sprout tells me you have an aptitude for Herbology.
- Neville: Th-there's um... the Cruciatus Curse.
- Professor Moody: Correct! Correct! Particularly nasty.
- [he leads Neville up to his desk and puts the spider down in front of him]
- Professor Moody: The torture curse. CRUCIO!
- [the spider begins to squeak and writhe in pain. Neville flinches, almost unable to watch as the spider continues to curl itself]
- Hermione: Stop it! Can't you see it's bothering him? STOP IT!
- George: Four People will go down...
- Fred: But will four come up?
- Ginny: Why do have to be so mean?
- [from trailer]
- Professor McGonagall: Mr. Weasley, place your right hand on my waist.
- Ron: What?
- [from trailer]
- Dumbledore: And now, champions in action! Viktor Krum! Fleur Delacour! Cedric Diggory! HARRY POTTER!
- [from trailer]
- Ron: That's Alastor Moody!
- [from trailer]
- Harry: Is it Voldemort?
- Padma Patil: Are you going to ask me to dance with you?
- Ron Weasley: No.
- Barty Crouch: After much deliberation, the ministry has concluded that for their own safety. No student under the age of 17 shall be allowed to put forth their name for the Triwizard tournament. This decision is final.
- [talking to Harry after the second task where he rescued her sister]
- Fleur Delacour: You saved her, even though she wasn't yours to save. My little sister. Thank you!
- [kisses Harry on each cheek and then turns to Ron]
- Fleur Delacour: And you, you helped.
- Ron: Yeah, yeah a bit.
- [she kisses him on each cheek too]
- [the students from the other schools are leaving and saying goodbye to the Hogwarts students. Fleur and her sister Gabrielle wal]
- Fleur Delacour: Au revoir, Ron.
- [she kisses his forehead]
- [after being Portkeyed away from the maze during the Third Task Harry suddenly realizes where they are]
- Harry: Cedric, we have to get back to the cup. NOW.
- [Harry can only watch as Cedric is blasted off his feet and hits the ground behind him, dead]
- Cedric Diggory: What are you talking about?
- [Flames burst beneath a huge stone cauldron as the door to a nearby house opens, revealing someone carrying a blanket-wrapped bu]
- Harry: AAAAAGH!
- Cedric Diggory: Harry, what is it?
- Harry: Get back to the cup!
- [Cedric stands up, wand at the ready to defend both himself and Harry]
- Cedric Diggory: Who are you? What do you want?
- Voldemort: Kill the spare!
- Peter Pettigrew: AVADA KEDAVRA!
- Harry: NO! CEDRIC!

You may need to refresh the System Information page after you plug in your device. To do so, press Command + R with the System Information page open.
Your USB device is listed according to the name of the chipset. To determine the name of the chipset of your USB device, navigate to www.StarTech.com and look on the Technical Specifications tab for your product.
- The drive may be damaged. Test with a known-working drive, or test the drive directly to a PC.
- The operating system on the computer may not support reading and writing to the file system on the docked hard drive or SSD. Remember, Windows cannot read Mac or Linux file systems. Also, macOS can read but not write to NTFS drives.
- If the drives came from a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), they would not be accessible in our docking stations.
- If the drive uses 4Kn sectors, check the technical specifications of the docking station, and ensure it can read 4Kn drives.
When you troubleshoot issues with a hard drive dock or duplicator, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
- IDE, SATA, and eSATA cables
- Hard drives
- Hard drive dock or duplicator
To test your setup components, try the following:
- Use the cables, hard drives, and hard drive dock or duplicator in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
- Use a different cable, hard drive, and hard drive dock or duplicator in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test the hard drive and hard drive dock or duplicator, it is recommended that you do the following:
Note: For a hard drive duplicator you may need to switch the device to PC mode (if available).
- To check Disk Management, press the Windows key + R, type diskmgmt.msc, and press Enter. Check to see if your hard drive is listed.
- Do one of the following:
- If the hard drive is listed with unallocated space, the hard drive needs to be reformatted. Right-click unallocated and click New Simple Volume. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reformatting.
Note: Formatting a hard drive erases all of the data on it. Make sure that you back up all of your data before you reformat the hard drive.
- If the hard drive is listed as healthy but does not have a drive letter, for example, C:, right-click healthy and click Change Drive Letter and Paths. Click Add, assign a drive letter, and click OK.
Note: A formatted hard drive will not show up in Computer or My Computer until it has a drive letter assigned to it.
This docking station allows the hard drive to enforce its own power state, as opposed to enforcing a power state that keeps the hard drive active at all times. Since most newer hard drives have low-power energy conservation modes, this will cause the hard drive to enter an idle state if it is not used for a certain amount of time.
Hard Drives
Windows 10
Before you can access a new or formatted drive in your operating system, you need to initialize it first and then create a partition on the drive. A partition defines an area of the drive to use for storing data. The partition uses a file system (for example, ex-FAT, NTFS, and so on).
Initialize a drive
Note: You typically only need to initialize a drive if the drive is new. If you cannot find an uninitialized drive in Disk Management, skip the following steps and try to partition your device.
Press the Windows key + R, type compmgmt.msc, and click Run to open Computer Management.
Navigate to Disk Management.
When prompted to, initialize your disk(s). If you are running Windows® 7 or later and are using a drive larger than 2TB, initialize the disk(s) with GPT. If you are running an earlier version of Windows, initialize the disk(s) with MBR. For more information, visit the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/support/faqs/technical-support?topic=hard-drives#mbr-vs-gpt.
Click OK.
Create a partition in a drive
Note: The following steps create an NTFS partition that uses the entire drive space. To use a different file system, select a different option in step 6.
Right-click Unallocated or RAW volume, and select New Simple Volume.
In the New Partition Wizard, click Next.
Select Primary partition.
Leave the partition size set to default, and click Next.
Assign a drive letter or leave it set to the default, and click Next.
Enter the following settings to format the partition:
- In the File System field, enter NTFS.
- Set the Allocation unit size to Default.
- In the Volume label field, enter <your name/reference>.
- Select the Perform a quick format check box.
- Clear the Enable file and folder compression check box.
- Click Next > Finish.
The new drive should appear in Windows Explorer.
Mac OS
Before you can access a new or formatted drive in your operating system, you need to initialize it first and then create a partition on the drive. A partition defines an area of the drive to use for storing data. The partition uses a file system (for example, HFS+, ex-FAT, NTFS, and so on).
Initialize a drive
Mac OSX detects a drive that needs to be initialized and automatically prompts you to initialize the drive. If you are prompted to initialize the drive, click Initialize. If you are not prompted to initialize the drive and you cannot find the drive in Finder, you will need to create a partition on the drive.
Create a partition on a drive
Note: The following steps create an HFS+ (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) partition that uses the entire drive space.
To create a partition on a new drive, complete the following:
Open Finder.
Navigate to Applications and click Utilities.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the new drive and click the Partition tab.
Click Options and verify that it is set to GUID Partition Table.
Enter a name for the partition.
Click Partition.
The drive should now be accessible in Finder.

There are significant privacy rights that are potentially invaded. On the other hand, you have the very compelling argument that safety comes first
Two rulings within the past 10 months barring companies from conducting random drug and alcohol testing for their workers in safety-sensitive workplaces could put a broader chill in the air when it comes to such tests, according to one legal expert.
"Companies are going to be more reluctant to implement random (testing) policies in general," says Duncan Marsden, head of the labour and employment group at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP's Calgary office. "I suspect employers will look to more sophisticated tests."
In March, a court-ordered arbitration panel ruled against oilsands giant Suncor Energy, finding the company's random testing policy was an unreasonable exercise of Suncor's management rights.
Suncor is applying for a judicial review of that ruling, which involved 3,600 of its unionized workers in the Fort McMurray region.
Last June, Irving Pulp and Paper Ltd. in New Brunswick also had its random testing policy struck down by the Supreme Court of Canada, which upheld a previous ruling by a labour arbitration board in that case in favour of its unionized workers.
"Other companies have to be more cautious when implementing a random (testing) policy in light of this (Suncor) decision and the Supreme Court of Canada decision," added Marsden.
In the most recent decision, the arbitration board appeared to raise more questions than answers around the whole topic of random drug and alcohol testing in the workplace.
In its ruling, the board found: "While there is no question that alcohol and drugs do not belong in a dangerous workplace, this begs — rather than answers — what measures an employer is entitled to take to address such use."
Robyn Ainsworth, owner of Calgary-based Dynamic Testing Solutions Ltd. which provides drug and alcohol testing services to a wide range of companies, said great care must be taken any time a firm decides to implement such testing.
It must include consent by the employee and can only be done in safety-sensitive occupations or where a widespread problem has been clearly identified.
Companies can also legally test workers that appear to show impaired behaviour, slurred speech or smell like alcohol.
They can also conduct tests where an employee suffers an accident or a near miss.
"There are certain positions that it's not appropriate for," Ainsworth says. "A lot of companies put a lot of thought and care into setting up that program and how they administer it."
Employers are left in the tenuous position of trying to balance workers' rights to privacy and human dignity with co-workers' rights to have the safest work environment possible, she said.
Under current labour laws, companies are also required to offer some form of rehabilitation or addiction assistance "without undue harm" to the company.
They must also take measures to ensure the position remains available to anybody suffering from a substance abuse problem upon their return to work.
Random testing policies usually involve "invasive" testing that can cause decreased morale due to the "stigma and humiliation" that some workers associate with providing bodily fluids on demand, according to Marsden.
"People have strong feelings about this and tend to swing one way or the other," he added.
"There are significant privacy rights that are potentially invaded. On the other hand, you have the very compelling argument that safety comes first. One death is too many."
Dynamic Testing Solutions typically serves companies that operate in traditionally high-risk businesses, such as trucking firms, oil and gas companies and the construction industry.
Ainsworth added, however, that she senses drug and alcohol problems are generally becoming more pervasive and says it's "extremely important" that companies are able to find ways to mitigate that risk.
"It's starting to fall within a huge group of companies," she says.
Going forward, Marsden said companies will have to do a better and more thorough job of making a strong case to implement random testing policies in the workplace.
He is also sympathetic to the need for such policies.
"I think it (the Suncor ruling) is a decision where lots of people can see both sides of the argument," he said.

Fascinating graphic,a sit shows that nearly 42% of the target audience for MOOCs are not the developed world. It also raises an interesting question. Who is it for?' are four words that tease out a MOOC strategy or lack of strategy. For most it is a marketing exercise in terms of the brand, a way of reducing internal costs on high volume courses, a way of recruiting potential students (directly or through their parents). Yet others see it as a way of flushing out funding from Alumni or presenting an 'accessible' face to Government.
For MOOCs, several target audiences have emerged:
1. Internal students on course – cost savings on volume courses
2. Internal students not on course – expanding student experience
3. Potential students national –major source of income
4. Potential students international – major source of income
5. Potential students High school – reputation and preparation
6. Parents – significant in student choice
7. Alumni – potential income and influencers
8. Lifelong learners – late and lifelong adult learners
9. Professionals – related to professions and work
10. Government – part of access strategy
Lifelong learning MOOC
This is the big one, as it produces the big numbers. There seems to be a genuine thirst for courses on a wide range of subjects for people who just want to learn more. This is heartening. Rather than locking in learning within expensive institutions, we may be on the edge of a cliff from which new forms of learning can soar. What's surprised people is the diverse nature of this group, as they come from lots of different countries.
The set of people who are external is huge and diverse in terms of age, national v international, nationality, ethnicity and first language. You really have to focus down with some profiling (define a typical user) or risk negative reactions from some groups. Most Coursera course are aimed at an external audience but who is this audience? If your course is for people with busy lives, is it wise to offer such strictly synchronous courses?
Internal + external MOOC
Do you want your existing students, either slated for the existing course or others, to do your MOOC? If MOOCs are to fulfil their promise of changing the way we teach and learn and reduce internal costs, this may be necessary.
Sebastian Thrun's famous MOOC did take existing students, none of whom were in the top performing 400 students. NovoED aim to produce group MOOCs aimed at both internal and external students. It has happened, will happen, and if MOOCs are to change the face of HE, it must happen.
The University of Alberta's Dino 101 Dinosaur Paleobiology MOOC hopes to attract huge numbers and I'm sure it will. Due for release in September 2013 it's billed as being "led by Phil Currie, the world's premier dinosaur hunter". This is much smarter than the blatant AUE approach, as it is aimed at three audiences:
· Free to anyone (marketing)
· University of Alberta students can do it and get a credit (core business0
· Students from around the world for course accreditation for a modest fee
This is more strategic as it takes the one asset and targets three audiences. They've also cleverly sneaked in another marketing objective – tourism, "It will also help highlight the best of Alberta's rich dinosaur assets". Smart thinking.
Outreach MOOC
Many MOOCs are more marketing than learning. There one species of MOOC, the outreach MOOC or more accurately the marketing MOOC, that is sprouting up everywhere. These MOOCs are aimed at marketing your brand to new students, parents of potential students and alumni, all potential sources of income, hence the use of the word 'marketing'. I know academe hate the word 'marketing' unless it's a course in their revenue-rich business school but this is a marketing MOOC.
A good example is the Australian National University, who is building an edX MOOC aimed at high school students, alumni, adult learners and parents, the first two topics are 6 week courses on Astrophysics and Engaging India (English & Hindi). She admitted her University had no real strategy for MOOCs but thought this was a way of testing the water. At least she was honest, as I see precious little strategic thinking around MOOCs but lots of groupthink and bandwagon behaviour.
Professional MOOC (VOOC)
A lot of IT courses are clearly aimed at the skills market and professionals who want to get a job or promotion. Udemy is full of such courses. There's nothing new here, other perhaps, in them being free, though many do have a cost. This type of course has been long available on the web. An interesting example is the Google MOOC, aimed at a specific skill, improving your search skills. We can expect many more of these, MOOCs or Vocational MOOCs (VOOCs) that tackle a specific skills or issue.
Marketing problem
Many MOOCs want to hit a number of these audiences but this is not easy as they have different needs in terms of approach, commitment, start times, accreditation needs, technical issues and support. Knowing your target audience from the start matters, as it influences the choice of platform, as well as design and nature of the content. Initial data suggests that large numbers of people from around the world, who do not have easy access to Higher Education, have taken MOOCs (41%). The language level for those with English as a second language may therefore have to be considered, as well as level of difficulty, relevant examples, appropriate peer activity, group needs, synchronous or asynchronous, and so on. You may also want to be clear in the registration process about the data you want to identify and gather for later analysis.
The problem is that the decision makers often don't have the marketing skills to differentiate between different addressable audiences. External adult learners may not want a long-winded, over-engineered, six to ten week course on anything. Life's too short. Yet academics are used to producing courses of this semester length. What many may want are mini MOOCs. They may want them to be asynchronous starting and ending when convenient for them. This, of course, is exactly what's happening. All in all, however, the good news is that MOOCs are forcing HE institutions to change. MOOCs may very well be the force that makes them more open, transparent and relevant. There will, of course, be a backlash, but the digital genie is out of the bottle - MOOCs are here to stay.

Thirty-year-old Madhu Tharu has been working for other people since she was a little girl. A bonded labourer in a village of bonded labourers, the Nepali woman basically belonged to her landlord. The system of serfdom that trapped her wasn't abolished in Nepal until the early 2000s. So for years, she worked all day. Her brothers, at least, were allowed to go to school. As a kamalari–a servant girl– she wasn't.
As teenagers, Madhu and thousands of girls like her were prime targets of traffickers, criminals who sell girls into forced prostitution or forced labour. As adults, women like Madhu are prime candidates for overseas work as housemaids. Uneducated and impoverished, they sometimes face physical and sexual abuse when working for Middle Eastern families in places like Kuwait.
Though some women do indeed earn money when they go abroad, the risks of migration are serious. Even in the best cases, where employers treat women well and pay them fairly, mothers must leave their children behind when they go abroad. So Caritas tries to give women options that allow them to remain home.
A Caritas Nepal programme gave Madhu a small loan. She's using it to run a tiny roadside kiosk that sells snacks. Her two sons can go to school, and her husband, a rickshaw driver, doesn't have to work so hard.
Sumitra Bista was similarly vulnerable. "I have one son I have to support. My husband married another wife," she says. "I used to have a small tea shop, but with the Caritas support I could buy more supplies and expand. The tea shop bloomed." Working from 5 am to 8 pm, Sumitra sells about 100 cups of tea every day.
"There was no tea shop here before she came. She's an entrepreneur," says a man sitting on a bench in her shop. "People from the clinic nearby come here. The tea tastes good."
The small loans are helping poor women—especially widows and those with sick or absent husbands—to stay with their children and be self-supporting. The loans also mean the women don't have to take job offers that are suspect. Though some women find a happy ending when they go overseas, the female face of migration doesn't always look very good.
Madhu is proud that she's now running her own business. No longer an indentured servant, she is her own boss. "I used to work in other people's houses. Now I don't have to," she says. "I'm happy I can earn money."
Laura Sheahen, a Communications Officer for Caritas Internationalis, recently visited migration programmes in Nepal.

NEW YORK, July 16 (UPI) -- Internet sensations Grumpy Cat and Oskar the Blind Cat made an appearance Wednesday at a New York record store to promote their new Cat Summer music video.
The two beloved felines posted for selfies with lines of fans at Bleeker Street Records.
The video for Cat Summer also features Nala Cat, Hamilton the Hipster Cat and Oskar's companion, Klaus, extolling the virtues of summertime grilling, croquet, and slip 'n' slides.
The video is actually a pseudo-advertisement for Friskies, which will donate one meal to shelter cats for every view the video receives, up to 1 million views.

Sautéed Brussels Sprouts Recipe
I was never a big fan of brussels sprouts until I tasted my friend Nicole's recipe. She shreds them first and then sautés them in garlic and oil which really allows the seasoning to flavor every bite. I added some diced shallots along with the garlic and really enjoyed these. This would make a nice Thanksgiving side dish. Give this method a try if you don't care for brussels sprouts, you might be pleasantly surprised like I was!

CPP's Chevy C-10 Trailing Arm & Crossmember Install - Raise Your Lowered Expectations
CPP's C-10 Tubular Trailing Arm And Dropped Center X-Member Kit
Most improperly lowered vehicles ride as such, and the farther you go the more problems you encounter in the search for an "in the weeds" stance. There are many limiting factors as to how low you can go, from stock suspension parts to engine or transmission pans, frame clearance, body panels, and of course exhaust systems.
The last item was the limiting factor in my '72 C-10. The front of the truck was nice and low, but I could only go so far down in the back due to the exhaust system, which subsequently was being drug over every driveway entrance, speed bump, and railroad crossing I came in literal contact with. So my plan after finishing the LS engine was to also install one of Classic Performance Products (CPP) Dropped Center Trailing Arm Crossmembers, which are designed for lowered trucks, but also features 3x5-inch holes to run exhaust through. This would hopefully allow me to tuck the new exhaust up into the chassis and avoid the troublesome and destructive situation I was in before.
The other benefits of CPP's trailing arm crossmember for those with a truck closer to the pavement is that it has raised trailing arm pivot brackets to correct pinion angle that goes out after lowering more than 4 inches. Plus the crossmember provides more room at the top of the driveshaft opening. The crossmember can be installed with no welding or cutting if you want to save your original crossmember and can be used with all your stock rear suspension pieces. There are just over a dozen rivets holding the OE crossmember to the frame that need to be removed, which is probably the hardest or at least messiest/loudest part of the job.
If you are going father down in the back of your truck, CPP also makes a bolt-in C-notch kit that gives you as much rearend clearance as you can get without cutting into the bed floor and requires no welding. The C-notch is really needed for trucks with a 5-inch drop or more to retain a decent ride. And if you are doing all this, then you might as well swap out your rusty and worn out trailing arms with CPP's super strong tubular trailing arms. These have new self-lubricating bushings in them that will not only last a long time, but also help smooth out the ride.
After the new CPP Dropped Center Trailing Arm Crossmember and tubular trailing arms were installed, we swapped out the previous 4-inch drop coils in the back for 5 inchers and a set of 2-inch lowering blocks which brought down the back 2 1/2 inches before the coils settle. I'll spill the beans now, but CPP's rear suspension system combined with their tubular front control arms and sway bar makes for a smooth and low ride. It is a night and day difference how this truck rides now versus when I started on it a few years ago. Look them up and see what CPP has for you and your truck!

Food is definitely something the whole world is interested in, and there are a wealth of quirky, controversial, but always curious facts surrounding it! We waded into this information soup, and here's a smattering of some of the more interesting stuff we found — the cream of the crop!
Image: Pen Waggener
The Independent recently reported that Nestlé had made £6.5 billion last year. Did you know they also make pet food? We had no idea! True, they've had their share of controversies in the past – such as the Cocoa Protocol in 2001 to stop using child labour to produce cocoa, amongst others. Yet they remain the biggest food and drinks producer in the world. Though all we seem to think about when we hear 'Nestlé' is chocolate…
Image: Kokotron
He's just raring to go! In 2010, according to a survey conducted by the SymphonyIRI Group, more people bought dog food than cat food – around $2.5 billion more! We wonder if it's because more people have dogs, or because dogs eat more?
Image: ell brown
Aldi is one of the most popular discount supermarket chains in Germany. Ask any local student and they will burst into an enthusiastic tirade involving comparisons with other stores. And you don't have to go far for a bargain: Aldi has over 7,000 stores in 17 different countries!
Image: Noble Visuals
Here's an interesting fact: ever wondered which city in the world had the most expensive hotel meals? That would be Tokyo for dinner, Sydney for lunch and Madrid for breakfast! Don't say we never give you help budgeting for your international eating plans…

In 2007 poultry meat production was higher in developing countries than in industrial ones – 49 million tons, compared to 13 million ten years before, accounting for about 60% of worldwide production. The methods behind this kind of production provoke many questions, and are often quite controversial.

Ah, the quintessential snack of milk and cookies – or how about milk and cereal, or a nice hot latte? Yup, milk is everywhere. Total milk production in the United States alone equalled 196 billion pounds in 2011. According to a forecast by FAPRI, milk production per cow in the U.S. this year is expected to be around 10 tons. That's a lot of moo juice!
Image: weisserstier
Regulatory problems and management issues were the main challenges in organic food production in the United States last year. You'd think it was actually making sure organic food was produced, but the human factor (and it seems, red tape) seems to sneak in everywhere!
Image: slightly everything
According to Waterfootprint.org, the production of about two pounds of cheese requires 5,000 liters of water, for sugar 1,500 liters and for an apple 701 liters. We don't really get the last one! Does that mean watering the tree with 701 liters until an apple grows on it?
Image: Steven-L-Johnson
More than one million metric tons of raisins were produced worldwide during 2010/2011. And that's when they're dried! Just imagine the weight they must be when they're fresh grapes. Hmm… Maybe they could use all that water they lose to produce apples! Problem solved!
Image: mediafury
And speaking of water, what better way to conclude than with a drink? According to a recent survey by Technomic Inc., 81 percent of men were likely to order beer during happy hour at a bar or restaurant, while women favoured a cocktail or a mixed drink. Germany is in the top three European countries in beer production, producing more than 95 million litres in 2010. That makes sense in the country known for the Oktoberfest. In this vein: prost!

Prior to the recent issues, American had been running a good operation, with on-time performance and reliability measures at their best levels in many years The recent disruptions are primarily due to the significant increase in maintenance write-ups by our pilots, many right at the time of departure. Additionally, continued higher-than-normal sick usage by pilots, which has been up more than 20 percent year over year and has been elevated for months, impacts the availability of reserve pilots, which can ultimately lead to cancellations. Our pilot staffing - without the recent actions regarding maintenance write-ups and the continued increase in sick time - is adequate to meet our scheduling needs and recalling pilots from furlough would not be needed.
First, we apologize to all of our customers for the inconvenience this has caused. We understand how irritating and unfortunate this is in interrupting or delaying their travel plans. We appreciate their patience and hope for their understanding. We also appreciate very much the extra and difficult work this has caused so many of our people and especially appreciate the fabulous job our maintenance crews have been doing in taking care of these additional write-ups and getting planes back on schedule as fast as possible. In addition, our inventory of spare parts is at the highest level in years.
American has taken significant steps to try to limit the impact on our customers. We have carefully selected some 300 flights this week to pre-cancel to allow us to re-accommodate passengers in advance. And, through October we have reduced our schedule 1 to 2 percent as well. In addition, we have increased staffing in all other areas to assist in re-accommodating customers and are reaching out to customers proactively to notify them of the options available and the ability to standby for earlier flights at no charge.
We remain committed to doing all we can to serve our customers to provide safe, reliable transportation, just as they have always expected and received from American Airlines.
