| Sep 13, 2018 at 16:40 | comment | added | Bertram Wooster | didn't we first meet Gabrielle as a hostage in the second task? | |
| Sep 13, 2018 at 16:39 | comment | added | Valorum | @BertramWooster - It needs to be someone that we (the metaphysical audience) have already met :-) | |

Highly possible, I think, since Karkaroff openly disapproved of Krum's interest in Hermione, and he would have known that choosing Hermione as hostage would only boost this relationship forward. | |

| Sep 13, 2018 at 16:30 | comment | added | Bertram Wooster | the points that you make are valid but given that these people have magic at their disposal, might they not have used that to get infallible knowledge on whom to pick as hostages? | |
