Hope it's OK to start a new topic, but I haven't been able to find the answer elsewhere.
I didn't understand what was going on with Krum when he was in the maze. His eyes suddenly went weird, and Harry said he was "bewitched". Why did the bewitched Krum see Harry and walk right by?
Full Version: Question About Krum In The Maze
I looked around and the closest I could find was the third task thread but nothing in there addresses Krum.
Do not take this the wrong way but have you read the book or did you just watch the movie? The movie was pretty butchered but if you read the book, if fills in the blanks.
Basically what is going on is Krum is acting under the Imperious Curse that Mad Eye Moody/Crouch Jr. placed on him. He was suppose to helping Harry by taking out Cedric and Fluer at Crouch Jr.'s direction. That was how Voldemort was making sure Harry reached the Triwizard Cup first.
The movie attempted to show this by having Krum's eyes hazed over. Since the whole purpose of the curse is to be secret, this is a big contradiction to the books. The person is suppose to look normal. I guess this was the best way the director could come up with to show Krum was not acting on his own accord.

Geez, yeah, I did read the book, and I don't remember anything like that explanation. But that was a few years ago, now, and I don't own the book to go back and re-read it.
Krum was under the Imperious curse, Coruch Jr controlled Krum to take out the rest and for Harry to move on but Crouch Jrs. plan failed miserably.
Well, guess I'm too late to answer your question. I'll do it anyway though 
. Krum was put under the Imperius curse to help Harry, not to incapacitate or kill everyone in sight. Like the person who posted first said, you shouldn't be able to see any visible effects of the curse, but I guess they had to put it in so that you were sure that he was bewitched. After all, there are people who just watch the movies and don't read the books (I know, I can hardly believe it either! 
) so I guess they put it in for those people.
