Finally, captured by Dumbledore, he reverts to his actual shape when his dose of Polyjuice potion wears off. Having been dosed with Veritaserum , he then reveals all that he had done. Dumbledore summons Cornelius Fudge in order that a Ministry representative may hear this confession.
Fudge brings a Dementor with him "for protection," and the Dementor immediately performs the Kiss, effectively killing Barty, before he can repeat his confession to Fudge.
Barty is apparently an accomplished wizard. He was able to subdue Alastor Moody and impersonate him for several months. He was also capable of creating a Confundus Charm powerful enough to fool the Goblet of Fire. Bartemius Crouch does say at one point that Barty received an impressive twelve O. As mentioned, Barty advises Cedric Diggory to open his Golden Egg underwater, knowing that he will in turn tell Harry in order to pay him back for tipping him off about the dragons.
When telling Harry about this, Barty says that "decent people are so easy to manipulate. Barty's manipulation of his father, and of Winky, is clearly based on abuse of familial love.
Barty is shown to believe that his faithfulness and service will make him and Voldemort emotionally close, like a father and son. Thus, Barty views Voldemort as a replacement father figure, either not knowing or refusing to accept that Voldemort will always see him as just another disposable follower. In the sixth book, Dumbledore states that "You will hear many of his Death Eaters claiming that they are in his confidence, that they alone are close to him, even understand him.
They are deluded. Lord Voldemort has never had a friend, nor do I believe that he has ever wanted one. In the trial Harry witnesses, Barty is seen desperately proclaiming his innocence while Bellatrix Lestrange openly admits to being a Death Eater. Later on, however, Barty boasts that he is Voldemort's only faithful follower and claims that the Death Eaters who refused to brave Azkaban for their master should be severely punished.
This might indicate that Barty is a hypocrite, condemning other Death Eaters for what he tried to do himself and disregarding Bellatrix's higher degree of faithfulness. As we don't know at this point about his participation in the Longbottom tortures, it is possible to assume he was innocent at this point, and then warped to the dark side. It is also possible that, during the trial, Barty was just doing whatever he could, for instance using his parents' trust, to remain free and continue his search for Voldemort, in contrast to other Death Eaters, who were just trying to evade Azkaban.
All relationships we hear about are either adversarial or manipulative. Due to lack of source material however, nothing can be said for sure. Crouch was born in around or into the influential pure-blood Crouch family , which had strong connections to the Ministry of Magic.
His father , intent on catching Dark Wizards and becoming Minister for Magic , likely failed to pay enough attention to his son.
It is very possible that this had an influence on the younger Crouch's life choices. Crouch , was a " wispy looking witch " who dearly loved him. Crouch took the Dark Mark shortly after his graduation from Hogwarts School , and after Lord Voldemort 's first defeat in , he fell in with some Death Eaters searching for their fallen master.
Crouch was insistent on his innocence, claiming he had merely fallen in with the wrong crowd, and begged his father before the entire assembled Council and witnesses such as Rita Skeeter and his mother to clear him of the charges on the torture crime.
Crouch's father headed the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the time and was under extreme pressure to give the appearance of having gotten something done about the terrorism caused by Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters. Crouch's father chose to make a public example of his son, and sentenced him to a term of life imprisonment in Azkaban at the age of eighteen or nineteen. According to Sirius Black , Crouch was screaming inside his cell for his mother for the first few days, but then quieted down from the extreme depressive influence of the Dementors, as did many other prisoners.
One year later, his mother 's health had deteriorated drastically from the stress of her son's imprisonment. The couple were allowed a deathbed visit of their son due to Crouch Sr. She persuaded her husband to help smuggle their son out of Azkaban by swapping him for his mother. Using Polyjuice Potion , and undetected by the blind Dementors , Mrs.
Crouch took the place of her son. She died a short time later, and was buried outside the fortress under the guise of her son. Crouch Sr. He also forced him to hide under an Invisibility cloak at all times.
Bertha Jorkins , a Ministry of Magic employee, accidentally discovered the truth when she came unannounced to the Crouch home and discovered their secret. Years later, Peter Pettigrew ran into Bertha while searching for Voldemort. In the hopes that she would prove useful to him, Peter tricked her into going with him. She ended up proving very useful to Voldemort; not only did he extract the whereabouts of his loyal servant, but also gathered information on the Triwizard Tournament , which was to be held at Hogwarts.
Voldemort murdered Jorkins, and the Ministry deemed her "missing" for months. Barty at the Quidditch World Cup camp-site. Winky knew that Crouch had always loved Quidditch and persuaded his father to allow him to go out and have some fresh air. Crouch's mother, after all, wanted him to have freedom. Crouch's seat, by chance, was in a skybox alongside Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.
During the Quidditch match, Crouch broke free of the Imperius Curse his father had placed on him. Furious of his father's actions, Crouch decided to get revenge, and stole Harry's wand , which was in view. He then escaped Winky's watch over him, as she was so afraid of heights in the sky box that she covered her eyes for the entire Quidditch match.
Barty before Lord Voldemort in The spell that Winky used to bind herself with Crouch to prevent him from escape was broken when the two were struck by Ministry officials' multiple Stunning Spells.
Left alone in the house with only father and son, one night shortly after the Dark Mark incident, Peter Pettigrew and Lord Voldemort, who needed a loyal follower to help him regain power, managed to free Barty from his father's imprisonment.
They put Crouch Sr. Barty, disguised as Alastor Moody , enlarging a spider for a class. As part of his servitude as a Death Eater, Crouch was charged with infiltrating Hogwarts Castle , entering Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire and guiding him through Triwizard Tournament without having appeared to do so. Barty accomplished this by breaking into former Auror Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody 's home and kidnapping him.
He created Polyjuice Potion from Moody's hair and concealed the Auror in his own magical trunk. He was able to maintain his disguise for months undetected by consistently sipping the potion from a hip flask ; he did so in plain view of students and staff, and it was generally assumed that this was due to intense paranoia. Barty used his time at Hogwarts to gain the trust of the students and staff at Hogwarts. During his first lesson for a group of fourth year students, he demonstrated all three Unforgivable Curses on three different spiders [4] and, controversially, later also the Imperius Curse on the students themselves, although he claimed to have had permission to do so, in order to teach them how to overcome it.
As a teacher, Crouch under the guise as Moody was actually quite effective, and despite his ulterior motives, his teaching of how to overcome curses such as the Imperius was valuable with Harry Potter gaining the ability to resist even Lord Voldemort himself as a result of Crouch's training. Barty teaching at Hogwarts.
However, Crouch was not at Hogwarts to mould future wizards. He entered Harry Potter 's name under a fourth school into the Goblet of Fire , confusing it with a powerful Confundus Charm to ensure Harry's placement for Lord Voldemort's gain. Crouch subtly helped Harry throughout the three phases of the tournament. He nudged Hagrid into showing Harry the dragons , later suggesting that Harry play to his strengths to pass the task and thus giving Harry the idea of using a broomstick to accomplish it.
He advised Cedric Diggory into telling Harry how to to work out the golden egg clue, knowing that he would repay Harry for telling about the dragons. He also planted the book Magical Mediterranean Water Plants and Their Properties onto Neville Longbottom early on, hoping that Neville would tell him about gillyweed for the underwater task.
With Harry's own pride and independent streak standing in the way of the plan, Crouch had to improvise. Remembering that Potter mentioned having an elf friend named Dobby gave him socks for Christmas, Crouch called Dobby into the staffroom and staged a loud discussion with Professor McGonagall about gillyweed, right in front of Dobby. The house-elf responded by stealing the plant from Severus Snape 's personal stores and gave it to Harry on the day of the task.
During the events surrounding the Tournament, Crouch Sr. Voldemort immediately sent an owl to Hogwarts warning him that his father would likely show up at Hogwarts. The former went to the castle to fetch Dumbledore.
Crouch arrived at the scene before anyone else, stunned Viktor Krum , and killed his father. He transfigured his father's body into a bone and buried in front of Rubeus Hagrid's hut. Before the third and final task of the Tournament, Crouch volunteered to place the Triwizard Cup in a maze through which the contestants were to navigate. He took advantage of this opportunity to turn the Triwizard Cup into a Portkey. As he patrolled around the labyrinth hedge, he Stunned Fleur Delacour and used the Imperius Curse on Krum to get rid of Diggory, but his puppet was stunned by Harry.
Nonetheless, Potter got to the Cup, along with Diggory, transporting them to the Little Hangleton graveyard when they grasped it together. When Harry escaped the graveyard and returned to Hogwarts, Crouch ushered him away from the panicking crowd to interrogate him about Voldemort's return.
He revealed to Harry that it was he all along who guided him through the Tournament; he put his name in the Goblet of Fire , got Hagrid to show the dragons, explained the Golden Egg to Diggory knowing he would tell Harry, bewitched Krum and stunned Fleur.
Barty then planned on killing Harry and be honoured above the rest of Voldemort's followers. But before he could, Dumbledore, accompanied by McGonagall and Snape, fired a Stunner at him, having realised that he was not Moody when he removed Harry from his sight, his one slip-up.
After the Polyjuice Potion wore off, Crouch confessed everything to Dumbledore under the influence of Veritaserum. However, before he could testify before the Wizengamot, Crouch suffered a fate worse than death, receiving the Dementor's Kiss by a Dementor that Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge brought with him. Fudge regarded Crouch as a raving lunatic, believing that he was thinking that he was acting for Voldemort and thus wasn't convinced that he was back. In his youth, Crouch was described as being a pale young man with straw-coloured hair and freckles.
For eight months, Crouch has disguised himself as Alastor Moody through the usage of Polyjuice Potion. During this time, his face would be covered with scars, with missing chunks of his nose, and dark grey grizzled hair. He also took Moody's prosthetics, both the magical eye and wooden leg, for his own. Crouch appears to have been highly cunning and diabolically intelligent. He was obviously a quite powerful wizard, having demonstrated sufficient magical ability to Confound the Goblet of Fire into believing that four schools participated in the Triwizard Tournament in order for Harry to participate in the contest despite the object's power.
As mentioned above, Crouch Jr impersonates Moody for a whole school year. He keeps the real thing prisoner in his own trunk, keeping him alive so he can pluck his hair for the Polyjuice Potion and find better ways to impersonate him so nobody knows the truth.
And, while being Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, he tells Harry he should become an Auror due to his brilliance in the subject. This stays with the Boy Who Lived even after the Death Eater's unmasking and gives him a dream to hold onto for life after Hogwarts.
Once the battle with Voldemort is finished, Harry ends up becoming a dark-wizard catcher for the Ministry of Magic - despite their horrible treatment of him in the years previously. There, he overhears the Ministry of Magic worker talking to somebody inside his head. During his babbling, he's overheard saying how proud he was that Barty Crouch Jr managed to achieve 12 O. L's, a number that shows just how gifted he was before he decided to use his magical talents for evil.
This didn't happen in the movies, with Harry, Ron, and Hermione instead stumbling across Crouch Sr's body. There's no preamble before his death and this takes away some of the drama. While under the influence of Veritaserum, Crouch Jr opens up on murdering his father. And he crudely reveals that he transformed his dad's corpse into a bone, burying it in the Forbidden Forest.
This suggests he was never found and it's unknown if there was ever any funeral or ceremony for the Ministry of Magic employee. It also shows just how much the son hated the father, that he didn't even have enough respect for him to give him a proper sendoff. Instead, his remains most likely stayed in the Hogwarts grounds until the end of time.
The Dementor's Kiss is a fate you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. It involves the horrible creatures sucking your soul out through your mouth, effectively leaving you in a vegetative state.
The Goblet of Fire movie doesn't go into the gruesome details - but the book does.
