Product Information

Teaching skills: As the students themselves noted, Barty had proven himself to be a very effective instructor regardless of his speciality, as not only did his talent and knowledge in the Dark Arts make his lectures very informative and helpful to the students, he also projected a powerful charisma that drew his students' attention and interest, making them want to learn from and listen to him, even if some of his methods were considered controversial by the Ministry and he was teaching them about forbidden magic by abusing animals. Even after his true identity and motives were uncovered, his former pupils did not change their opinion of his effectiveness. [17] But before he could, Albus, accompanied by Minerva and Severus, fired a Stunning Spell at him, having realised that he was not Alastor when he removed Harry from his sight — his one slip-up. After the Polyjuice Potion wore off, Barty confessed everything to Albus under the influence of Veritaserum, a strong truth potion. Duelling: Crouch was an excellent duellist, as, along with Peter Pettigrew, he was capable of defeating Alastor Moody, who was an extremely powerful wizard that had defeated dozens of other Death Eaters during his time as an Auror before the British Ministry of Magic agents arrived on the scene. However, Crouch was effortlessly subdued by Albus Dumbledore with a single Stunning Spell, before he could react.

Moody enters the Death Chamber with Sirius, Remus, Tonks and Kingsley. They rain spells down on the Death Eaters, hurrying down the stone steps towards the sunken floor of the room. Moody is hit with a spell by one of the Death Eaters; he lies on his side, bleeding from the head, his magical eye spinning away across the floor. Scores of wizards and witches claimed that they only did You-Know-Who's bidding under the effects of the Imperius Curse. But here's the rub... how do we sort out the liars? According to Sirius, Moody never killed anyone if he could help it during the first wizarding war, always bringing people in alive where possible. He was tough, but he never stooped to the level of the Death Eaters. Alastor" is Ancient Greek for "he who does not forget", thus (1) "avenger", "persecutor", "tormenter", (2) "one who suffers from divine vengeance". It gives him, therefore, certain similarities to Alecto Carrow, whose name is that of the first of the Furies, or Erinyes, and means "implacable anger". [50] [51] It is similar to "Alastair", which is the Scottish form of Alexander, which means "protector of mankind", and also evolved into "Alistair". Alastor is also the name of the Greek Personification of Family Blood Feuds sometimes known as the God/Spirit of Vengeance (with connotations of Justice and Retribution). The God/Spirit was said to be a firm believer in the philosophy that the sins of the forefathers should indeed leave their eternal stigmas upon all the younger generations.After Filch and Snape leave, Moody climbs the stairs to where Harry is hidden. He is curious about the Marauder's Map, and is interested to see how it works. Moody asks whether Harry saw who broke into Snape's office, and is surprised when Harry admits he saw Barty Crouch on the Map. Moody tells Harry that there have been some funny rumours around lately surrounding the Quidditch World Cup, and the appearance of the Dark Mark, and says that if there is one thing he hates, it is a Death Eater who walked free. He asks Harry if he can borrow the Marauder's Map, thinking that he can make good use of the map. Your Dementor has just destroyed the last remaining member of a pure-blood family as old as any — and see what that man chose to make of his own life!" — Albus Dumbledore regarding the last Crouch [src]

He defected to the Death Eaters and betrayed James and Lily Potter, which resulted in their deaths. Served Voldemort during his exile and helped him become corporeal again, for which Voldemort rewarded him with a magical hand. He is killed by his own magical hand after Harry announces that Wormtail owes him for saving his life. Dumbledore calls it "magic at its deepest, its most impenetrable". Moody enters the classroom for the fourth-year Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson. He tells the students they can put away their books, as they won't be needing them. Moody tells the class that they are very behind on dealing with curses, and says that he will be bringing them up to scratch on what harm wizards can do to each other. He tells the class that he has one year to teach them how to deal with Dark magic as he intends to return to his retirement at the end of the year. Even though the Kiss is not shown, it still happened anyway, since there are no contradictions to the book about people's fates even though they are not shown. It is implied in the later films, however, that it did happen when Voldemort broke his Death Eaters out of Azkaban and Crouch Jnr did not appear. In the films, anyone who takes Polyjuice Potion has their voice remain the same, the only change being in appearance (to help avoid confusing the audience because of this change). This does not seem to be the case for Barty Crouch Jnr when he turns into Alastor Moody, however it does not seem impossible that Barty was imitating Moody's voice the entire time, or that the filmmakers decided to make this an exception since his transformation was kept secret (unlike the others that occurred throughout the films) and therefore the audience would not be aware beforehand until his identity was exposed at the end of the film (though it is notable that Crouch Jnr, without by Polyjuice, only had three lines before his exposure and was not identified, so the change in voice might not have been necessary for someone who hasn't seen Goblet of Fire before).The one thing we've got on our side is that You-Know-Who doesn't know we're moving you tonight. We've leaked a fake trail to the Ministry, they think you're not leaving until the thirtieth. However, this is You-Know-Who we're dealing with so we can't just rely on him getting the date wrong." — Alastor Moody briefing Harry before the battle [src] It is requested that this article, or a section of this article, should be expanded - Extremely outdated section.
