Mission:
Your character is Viktor Krum

The first task involves getting past a thestral, which he cannot see! Show how he gets past his invisible opponent to collect water from the spring it has been guarding.
Since Karkaroff gave him the tip that it would be a thestral, he is prepared for invisible opposition. He has overheard Professor Sprout telling Cedric the same thing, saw Madame Maxime with Hagrid, and assumes that all contestants will be using the same help. He had no idea that the object he would have to collect was a liquid, let alone the requirement that if he spills a drop on his way back, he must start over.

Required Objects:

Blue Powder
a duck
a book

Mission:

Your main character is Cedric, Fleur, or Viktor. Your choice!

Upon entering the arena your champion finds what appears to be a verdant glen. At the far side he/she can plainly see a golden box sitting on a plinth and realize that is what he/she must retrieve.

Unfortunately it is not be as easy as it first seems. Your champion will encounter at least three problematic situations and have to overcome them. (Could the plants be flesh-eating, have tendrils, spit acid, emit a perfume which causes confusion or reverses his/her progress? Is the ground quicksand-like, unbearably hot or cold, sticky, explosive, or non-existent? Does something horrible or helpful live in the underbrush?) Anti-flying wards have been placed on the whole area.

Required Objects:
Every Flavor Beans,
An eavesdropper,
A knut.
