Boredom-induced re-watching of the 4th movie made me realize a jaw-dropping, ex-post-facto-obvious, plot hole. In fact, the entire plot of the story - Harry competing in the Triwizard Tournament - is completely pointless.
As the end reveals, a servant of Voldemort entered Harry into the tournament, and conspired for Harry to win the tournament, so Voldemort could get his hands on Harry. This is done by bewitching-or-whatever the Triwizard Cup to transport anyone who touches it (the first to do so wins the tournament) right to Voldemort. So, this begs the question: why go through the big trouble of the Tournament and the Cup? Just make a tennis ball the "portkey," throw it at Harry, yell "catch," and presto he's transported to Voldemort.
I'm on to you Rowling! I'll tear your empire to shreds before I'm done!

Dude, J. K. Rowling's making it more interesting with the tournament. And Voldemort is trying to make Harry feel alone. He has to do these dangerous tasks that hardly anyone else has to do but he isn't old enough to go into the tournament yet he has to compete because some dipshit entered his name into the cup and made the cup chose him with some kind of counterspell or jinx. He feels even more singled out because of this due to the fact that everyone starts to really not like Harry because they think he's a cheat. It's only Harry, and no one else is on his side. This makes it easy for Voldemort to beat Harry and return to power. You have to think about what's happening and why in the plot of movies sometimes instead of thinking about what would be easier. The director makes the movies just as authors write their books, not you. If you don't like it, write your own book or make your own movie.
So you can criticize a blogger's post but i can't criticize a writer's book? how is that fair?
