[Harry Potter] The Goblet of Fire is an "impartial judge" for selection in the Triwizard Tournament. So what is it looking for in a candidate?

It doesn't say anything of what criteria it's supposed to be looking for - so why does Harry Potter *obviously* get selected? 

Would Hermione or another capable wizard have gotten in if their name was submitted?

I would think it's looking for the most capable, brave and overall best contestant. But in Harry's case, his selection wasn't exactly legit, they just had to go with it because of the whole magically binding contract thing.

So essentially, it might not have selected Harry if he entered in a legitimate way. And let's not forget, theoretical knowledge is not everything. Throughout the series many examples are given of why Harry is a better wizard in certain situations than for example Hermione (she says so herself a couple times as well.)

I would have to think it takes many attributes into consideration including but not limited to knowledge, resourcefulness and bravery. But we don't exactly have any confirmation of that being true.
