Why would the triwizard tournament be in 1994?

Somebody please fix this


 * That information is correct. The Triwizard Tournament took place during the 1994-1995 school year. Oread 15:16, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Pure-bloods Only?
I think we need to clarify something - does Durmstrang only admit pure-bloods, or does it simply not admit Muggle-borns? In other words, does it admit half-blood students? I don't have the Goblet of Fire text with me, but the Lexicon only says "it does not admit Muggle-born students" and references Chapter 11. O r e a d (talk) 03:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I quickly skimmed through GoF11 and the bit about Durmstrang's admission policy seems to be drawn from this quote by Draco:
 * "Father actually considered sending me to Durmstrang rather than Hogwarts, you know. He knows the Headmaster, you see. Well, you know his opinion of Dumbledore — the man's such a Mudblood-lover — and Durmstrang doesn't admit that sort of riff-raff. But Mother didn't like the idea of me going to school so far away, Father says Durmstrang takes a far more sensible line than Hogwarts about the Dark Arts. Durmstrang students actually learn them, not just the defence rubbish we do..."
 * What Draco means by "riff-raff" is unclear. It could apply to Muggle-borns, blood traitors, or both. But Draco calls Dumbledore a "Mudblood-lover," and we do know that, under Dumbledore, Hogwarts had an open-door admission policy when it came to Muggle-borns. This leads me to conclude that Draco meant that Durmstrang does not admit Muggle-borns. &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f <font face="Times" color="darkgreen">(Owl me!) 05:31, 1 April 2009 (UTC)´


 * If we said that Durmstrang only admit pure-bloods. It means that Half-breeds including Half-giants like Hagrid or Half-veelas and also Squibs are not allowed to that school. -- ÈnŔîčö Hallows.svg(<font face="Times" color="brown">Send me an Owl ) 07:25, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I think it is possiblw that it admits half-bloods too. We should change the Durmstrang, Viktor Krum, Grindelwald and Krum family articles to say that.--Rodolphus 09:44, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree; it's only clear that Durmstrang does not admit Muggle-borns, which means the students could be pure-bloods or half-bloods. <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color=#0000A0>O <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color=#0000FF>r <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color=#0000A0>e <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color=#0000FF>a <font face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4" color=#0000A0>d <font face="Times" color=#800080>(talk) 01:32, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
