It's never stated outright. My guess emphasis on guess is that he was in Slytherin. TenthJustice TenthJustice I'll have to re-read that part of Goblet. Fun fact. No, if Wormtail was thought to be innocent, then Sirius was guilty.

Still Gryffindor. Hagrid may not know about Pettigrew, but it still seems in character for him to refuse to believe Sirius was guilty. I don't actually remember what he thinks of Sirius in Prisoner , though, I'd have to reread it. He cannot be a Gryffindor because he is not motivated by adventure or bravery. AngelBain AngelBain 31 1 1 bronze badge. I agree. Milo Milo 9 1 1 bronze badge. It is best to add in the link when using a source as evidence, here I have already edit ed it in for you.

And while that's broadly true, there's at least one Slytherin that doesn't fit that pattern; pottermore. There might well be others — Valorum. Georgie Georgie 1. These are some pretty bold claims, if you could provide sources on where the information came it would greatly help this answer.

I feel Voldemort was like this for Crouch, so he did anything to stay close to his Lord.

All the things Barty did in the film, such as casting the Dark mark and bringing Voldemort back, was because he needed a father to be close to him, like he thought Voldemort was. I mean, he was supposedly got 12 OWLs, remember? However, you can be a high-achiever and not in Ravenclaw, and he clearly is not motivated by knowledge. The only thing that goes with a Ravenclaw Crouch Jr is that he is very sensitive and emotional, but as he is no artist or whatever, this does not fit with any Ravenclaw picture.

The fact that he made in to 12 OWL's is more likely to be part of himself trying to prove to his father that he is a great wizard. Like Voldemort, Crouch's inner motivation through life is to gain power, to show is power, and to prove he us able. He is power-hungry, as in his forced confession, he believes his act would make him the most trusted servant of the Dark Lord, closer to him than any Death Eater.

However, like I mentioned earlier, I think this is because of Crouch's need for a father. Given how upright Crouch Sr is, I think he might be a little surprised if his son was sorted into Slytherin, and pay a little more attention to him. She took care of Crouch Jr. She was extremely devoted to this duty, and was very motherly towards him, asking his father to reward him occasionally for good behaviour even though it was no more than a by-product of the Imperius Curse.

Winky spent months to persuade Crouch Sr. This all proved how much she loved him, despite his crimes. She was devastated when she was dismissed for failure, and became horrified when she heard of how Crouch Jr. He launched the Dark Mark in the camp-site in order to scare disloyal Death Eaters, ignoring her efforts to keep him safe and hidden.

He also showed no reciprocating affection for her as he ungratefully used her affections to achieve his goal of serving the Dark Lord, and gave a maniacal smile during his interrogation while she was there, the latter terrifying her. In contrast with his real father, Crouch saw Lord Voldemort as a father figure of sorts, and after having been disowned by his own father, was fanatically devoted to him.

In fact, at that point, Crouch was willing to sacrifice and give absolutely everything to serve the Dark Lord. He also believed that if he finished off Harry Potter , he would be welcomed back, closer than a real son. Crouch's loyalty has led him to know many things about Lord Voldemort that even other loyal Death Eaters, such as Bellatrix, presumably do not. Barty knows that Voldemort had a disappointing father , that he suffered the indignity of being named after that father, and that he had the great pleasure of killing said father to ensure the rise of the dark order.

This also implies that Barty is aware of Voldemort's blood status as a half-blood , but doesn't care about it, in contradiction to the Death Eaters' belief of pure-blood supremacy. It could very well be that Voldemort told Barty these similarities between the two and used them as a way to get Barty to join him. Voldemort could have simply told Barty about his father being disappointing while neglecting to reveal that Tom Riddle Sr.

Voldemort seems to have acknowledged Barty's worth, something his own father failed to do, referring to Barty as "his most faithful servant. Eventually Barty held a violent hatred towards the Death Eaters who had abandoned faith in Lord Voldemort. He believed that those who would not brave Azkaban for him and denied their affiliation with him were unforgivable—apparently having completely forgotten that he was once like that himself as he screamed his innocence in the courtroom.

So, after the drastic change in him, Barty practically begged Harry to tell him that Voldemort punished the Death Eaters for their thirteen years of disloyalty, to hurt them for their lack of faith. Due to this fanatical loyalty held by Barty, he launched the Dark Mark into the Quidditch World Cup to frighten the Death Eaters who were levitating the Roberts family for fun, in retribution for their faithlessness, despite the risk of being caught. Also, during the year he was disguised as Alastor Moody , he spent a great deal of time intimidating former Death Eaters, Igor Karkaroff and Severus Snape , relishing the thought of being alone with them to kill them.

Despite his hatred towards them, Barty knew how to control his temper when necessary, and prevented himself from attacking them during his disguise as Moody. He even set aside his differences with Peter Pettigrew , one of the most disloyal Death Eaters, and the one responsible for Voldemort's initial downfall due to the information given about the whereabouts of the Potter family , in order to work together to revive the Dark Lord.

Although Harry Potter was Voldemort's most hated enemy, Barty never showed open hatred for him, though this is assumed to have been an act. After Barty became more paranoid and fanatically loyal to Voldemort, Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew found Barty at his house.

Voldemort freed Barty from the Imperius Curse and they planned to kill Harry. However, Barty didn't show that he was a Death Eater , and played the role of a friendly teacher towards Harry, giving him useful information about how to succeed in the first task of the Triwizard Tournament. He was also the one who taught the Unforgivable Curses to Harry, and the first person Harry saw performing the Killing Curse besides Voldemort killing Lily.

Over the year Barty taught Harry, he kept the boy safe from harm, and chased away other people who would threaten or get in the boy's way, all for him to serve Voldemort's plan.

Harry also saw Barty's trial in the Pensieve , and was told by Albus Dumbledore that it was unknown if Barty was guilty or innocent. It could be the only reason Barty desired Harry's death was to appease his master, and held no personal grudge. In fact, Barty seemed delighted when Harry proved to be able to throw off the Imperius curse in class.

Barty helped Harry with the Tasks of the Triwizard Tournament , because he had turned the Triwizard Cup into a Portkey in order to finalize the plan to resurrect Voldemort and eliminate Harry once and for all. Cedric was killed by Peter Pettigrew immediately, but Harry fought Voldemort and escaped.

Barty told them the story of his imprisonment, his escape and his return to Lord Voldemort he was under Veritaserum at the time. He also told them that Voldemort would honour him as none other Death Eater. After that, Harry learned that Barty was given the Dementor's Kiss, which gave Harry a chill in the stomach at the thought. Barty was one of the Death Eaters who tortured the Aurors Alice and Frank Longbottom into insanity [5] in order to make them tell where was the Dark Lord hidden.

When he read the name of Neville in a list, he showed interest. He also performed the Cruciatus Curse on a spider, in front of Neville, who was shocked and frightened. After that, Barty invited Neville to his office for a cup of tea, and gave him a book about plants. It is unknown how Neville reacted after he learned that his Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was in fact one of the wizards who tortured his parents into insanity.

Albus Dumbledore was one of the participants in Barty's trial. Dumbledore, like all of the participants, agreed to send Barty and his fellow Death Eaters in Azkaban forever.

He was also shocked by what Barty did to the Longbottoms in During the time Barty lived at Hogwarts along with Dumbledore, Barty used Occlumency in order to prevent Dumbledore from learning who Moody really was. In , after Harry Potter returned to Hogwarts from the Little Hangleton graveyard , Barty told Dumbledore that he would go along with Harry in his office, despite the latter's insistence that he not.

In fact, Barty wanted to kill Harry and learn what had happened at the Graveyard. Dumbledore realised that he wasn't the real Moody, knowing that the genuine Moody would never have removed Harry from Dumbledore's sight after having been told not to, and ran at Barty's office.

Dumbledore stunned Barty just as the he was going to kill Harry. Harry noted that Dumbledore's eyes seemed like having a blue flame, and Harry realised why Dumbledore was considered the greatest wizard of all time. Dumbledore was disgusted by Barty's patricide, as well as abusing and ignoring the love his mother and Winky gave him, and bound him up for it. After Barty's exposure, Dumbledore learned that he was given the Dementor's Kiss , and noted to the Minister that this was a poor move due to the destruction of a valuable piece of evidence.
