Yuerjinho found it very hard to believe, but the facts seemed to be right before his eyes.

Illusion magic therefore became an excellent choice.
Yuerjinho himself was very skilled at illusion magic. When he used it on Harry and Ron in turn, he had set its strength just high enough to fool an ordinary adult wizard.

Leaving aside the first few stages of the Illusion Tower, the fifth layer clearly involved highly sophisticated illusion magic that even an ordinary adult wizard might not be able to handle.
Yet Harry and Ron had come through completely unscathed, so wasn't it only reasonable for him to use slightly stronger illusion magic?
However, even with that intention, his magic still had no effect whatsoever on Harry or Ron.
Harry simply showed no reaction at all. If Yuerjinho hadn't clearly felt his magic being depleted, he would even have suspected that his spell had failed.
As for Ron, he did react a little, but that was all. Even Yuerjinho's most sophisticated illusion spell only made Ron's eyes glaze over for an instant before they became as clear as ever.
Yuerjinho wasn't the only one surprised by this result. The headmasters and professors from the other schools were astonished too.
