After describing the situation of the Hogwarts Champions, Ludo Bagman began summarizing the other Champions' progress.
"Although the rules prevent them from flying in the maze, Animagus forms have still been a tremendous help! Mensa transformed into a lion and is already quite close to the entrance to the fifth level!"

"Johnson heard movement behind him!" Ludo Bagman said excitedly. "A very smart move—he's hiding around the corner. Looks like he intends to ambush Krum!"
"Krum seems completely unaware! He hasn't slowed down at all..." His
