"Harry Potter used Gillyweed to great effect," Bagman continued. "He returned last, and well outside the time limit of an hour. However, the Merchieftainess informs us that Mr. Potter was first to reach the hostages, and that the delay in his return was due to his determination to return all hostages to safety, not merely his own. He also displayed great tenacity and skill, and after consulting with two of the other champions, we have learned that Mr. Potter actually fought against the merpeople to secure the safety of the hostages, allowing the two other champions to retrieve their own."
