A fifth year student who, a month before the start of the novel, was murdered by Voldemort. Harry has nightmares often about Cedric's murder. In the aftermath of his death, when the government takes the official stance that Voldemort isn’t back, people like Fudge and Umbridge politicize Cedric's death and insist that he died because of an accident. He and Cho dated, which makes Harry and Cho's budding romance awkward—Cho often cries about Cedric. Harry tells her at one point that Cedric was a very accomplished wizard and knew lots of defensive spells, but it didn't matter against Voldemort.
