elder Crouch went as far as to drown out his son's voice by shouting the announcement of sentencing, and Barty was screaming

Bartemius Sr. was overcome with grief and guilt, and opted to control him via the Imperius Curse to protect his son by keeping his
existence secret from the public, and to keep the son from continuing the search for Voldemort. He also forced him to hide under an
Invisibility cloak at all times, with their house-elf Winky as Barty's carer and keeper.
Bertha Jorkins, a Ministry of Magic employee, accidentally discovered the truth when she came unannounced to the Crouch home and
discovered their secret. Bartemius Sr. rectified this with a Memory Charm so powerful that she suffered permanent brain damage. Shortly
thereafter, 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 Bertha, and the Ministry

"Who put your name in the Goblet of Fire, under the name of a different school? I did. Who frightened off every person I thought might try to hurt you to prevent you
from winning the tournament? I did. Who nudged Hagrid into showing you the dragons? I did. Who helped you see the only way you could beat the dragon? I did."
Barty to Harry Potter
As part of his servitude as a Death Eater, Barty was charged with infiltrating Hogwarts Castle, entering Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire and guiding him through the
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 Alastor's hair and concealed the Auror in his own magical trunk. He then proceeded to take over Alastor's job at Hogwarts, teaching Defence
Against the Dark Arts. 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[7] 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, Barty (under the guise as Alastor) was actually quite effective, and despite his ulterior

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, Barty had to improvise. Remembering that Harry mentioned having an elf friend named Dobby who gave him socks for Christmas, Barty 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 giving it to Harry on the day of the task.
During the events surrounding the Tournament, Bartemius Sr. escaped from his home and apparated near Hogwarts, where he wandered in his confusion in search of
Dumbledore, planning on confessing about how he smuggled his son from Azkaban. Voldemort immediately sent an owl to Hogwarts warning him that his father would likely
show up at Hogwarts. Bartemius Sr. came upon Harry and Viktor Krum but by then, he was so delusional and insane that he was unable to clearly convey anything beyond
what appeared to be ramblings about his son and Bertha. The former went to the castle to fetch Albus. Barty, having kept an eye on the Marauder's Map he borrowed from
Potter, arrived at the scene before anyone else, and waited for Harry to leave before stunning Viktor, and killed his father. He transfigured his father's body into a bone and
buried it in front of Rubeus' cabin.
Before the third and final task of the Tournament, Barty 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 Viktor to get rid of Cedric, but Viktor Krum was stunned by Harry. Nonetheless, Harry got to the Cup, along with Cedric, transporting them to the Little Hangleton
graveyard when they grasped it together. It was at this time that Peter performed the horrible ritual to restore Lord Voldemort's physical body, using Harry's blood, Peter's
own hand, and Tom Riddle Sr.'s bone from the grave.[4]
Voldemort's followers. But before he could, Albus, accompanied by Minerva and Severus, fired a Stunner 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.
Dumbledore: "What has happened? Why are you disturbing these people? Minerva, I'm surprised at you -- I asked you to stand guard over Barty Crouch"
McGonagall: "There is no need to stand guard over him anymore, Dumbledore! The Minister has seen to that!"
Minerva McGonagall furiously tells Dumbledore what Fudge did to Crouch Jr.
However, before he could testify before the Wizengamot, Barty suffered a fate worse than death, receiving the Dementor's Kiss by a Dementor that Minister for Magic
Cornelius Fudge brought with him. Cornelius regarded Barty as a raving lunatic, believing that he was thinking that he was acting for Voldemort and thus was not convinced
that he was back.[8] What happened to Barty's empty body is unknown, although it is possible that Crouch died sometime in the mid-1990s.[2]
Physical appearance
In his youth, Barty was described as being a pale young man with straw-coloured hair and freckles.[6] In his early thirties, he still had pale,
slightly freckled skin and a "mop of fair hair", but his face was lined, and was much older-looking.[9] During his confession under Veritaserum,
Barty's face would alight with diabolical mania. Prior to his capture and arrest, he often sported a pocket watch, though unlike his father's, his

forced him to spend years under the Imperius Curse in relative isolation, possibly affecting his mental stability. The year he spent in
Karkaroff.
Azkaban also furthered his mental decline, due to the effects of the Dementors. He was also possibly sadistic, choosing Neville Longbottom
to watch one of Alastor Moody's spiders being tortured by means of the Cruciatus Curse, the same means he did with the boy's parents many years ago. Although this
could have been what the real Moody would have done himself, and possibly it was indeed to teach the students the harsh truths about the Curses.
Crouch also loved Quidditch in his youth. Winky used this reason to persuade his father to allow him to attend the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, as a treat for his good
behaviour (under the Imperius Curse). Crouch, on the other hand, used this as a chance to launch the Dark Mark into the air to frighten disloyal Death Eaters.
Barty was one of the only known wizards to call Voldemort by his name 'Voldemort' instead of using 'You Know Who' or a different version of it, saying his name while talking
to Harry after the Third Task. He was also the only known Death Eater to do so; even defectors such as Severus Snape and Regulus Black referred to Voldemort as "the
Dark Lord", while fellow fanatically loyal Death Eater Bellatrix saw it as a sign of respect not to speak the name.

Parents
"Should have spent a bit more time at home with his family, shouldn't he? Ought to have left the office early once in a while... gotten to known his own son."
Sirius Black on Barty's father.
Crouch Jr.'s father, as a high-ranking Ministry official, spent his entire life dedicated to eradicating the Dark forces, and as such, didn't
pay enough attention to his own son. When Crouch Jr. was caught with other Death Eaters in the crime scene of torture of Alice and
Frank Longbottom to insanity, his father's parental affection extended to as much as giving him a trial, something he did not always give
other suspects. In the end, the trial was merely to make an example out of his own son, and to publicly disown him, making clear he had
nothing to do with anyone who would even remotely be connected to the committing of such a horrible crime. Crouch Sr. mercilessly
sentenced his own son to Azkaban for life, and in the son's truth the father, as a favour for his dying wife, smuggled him out of prison
and kept him under control with the Imperius Curse for years to come. What the father's motives really were, were not revealed, but it is
likely he too loved his son as he was able to sacrifice his wife into spending her last days in a place like Azkaban in order to save the
son; contradicting to this, however, Barty Jr. claimed that his father loved his mother but not him. It was this sentence that cost Crouch
Sr. his chance to become Minister for Magic, his position as Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and his wife to suffer
her last few days in Azkaban. It was also this sentence that caused Barty Sr. to be demoted to the Head of the Department of
International Magical Cooperation.
Bartemius Crouch Sr.
Crouch Jr., in turn, hated his father. Being sent to Azkaban for one year and imprisoned in his own mind for twelve, only increased the
friction between father and son. Crouch also claimed that he suffered the indignity of being named after his father and had the "great pleasure" of finally killing him. Adding
insult to injury, he transfigured his father's body into a bone and buried it, showing callous, but understandable disrespect for the corpse with a crude method of disposing
it.
"No! Mother, no! I didn't do it, I didn't do it, I didn't do it, I didn't know! Don't send me there, don't let him! I'm your son! I'm your son!"
Barty during his imprisonment in Azkaban.
However, his mother loved him very much, and persuaded her husband to help him escape Azkaban. He also apparently had some affection for his mother as it is revealed
that he was "screaming for his mother" during his early days in Azkaban. She was about to die when her son was imprisoned, so she was disguised as him and took his
place at Azkaban. She died a short time later, and buried outside Azkaban. However, rather than start afresh and repent for his crimes, he used the opportunity to look for
Lord Voldemort and help bring him back to power, apparently his year in prison and hatred for his father caused him to forget his love for his mother.
Winky
"I was always with the house-elf. She was my keeper and caretaker. She pitied me. She persuaded my father to give me occasional treats.
Rewards for my good behaviour."
Barty on his years under his father's control.
Winky the house-elf was extremely loyal to the Crouch family, to the point of surpassing the mere house-elf's magical binding. She took care of
Crouch Jr. when he was smuggled out of Azkaban, and became his carer and keeper. 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
Winky.
Imperius Curse). Winky spent months to persuade Crouch Sr. to let his son attend the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, and tried to suppress her
acrophobia in order to keep an eye on the hidden convict. 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. killed his father.
Crouch Jr., on the other hand, thought that Winky's motherly nature was only out of pity and magic-bound duty. He launched the Dark Mark in the camp-site in order to
scare disloyal Death Eaters, despite 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.
Lord Voldemort
"The Dark Lord and I have much in common. Both of us, for instance, had very disappointing fathers...very disappointing indeed. Both of
us suffered the indignity, Harry, of being named after those fathers. And both of us had the pleasure...the very great pleasure...of killing
our fathers! ... I will be honoured beyond all other Death Eaters. I will be his dearest, his closest supporter... Closer than a son..."
Barty to Harry Potter about Lord Voldemort
In contrast with his real father, Crouch saw Lord Voldemort as a father figure of sorts, and after been disowned by his own father and after
his Azkaban year, was fanatically devoted to him. In fact, at that point Crouch was willing to sacrifice and give absolutely everything to
Lord Voldemort.
serve the Dark Lord. He also believed that if he finished off Harry Potter, he would be welcomed back, closer than a real son. In essence,
Barty's loyalty is only matched by fellow Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange.
Crouch's loyalty has led him to know many things about Lord Voldemort that even other loyal Death Eaters, such as Bellatrix, 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.[4] These three common threads helped to fuel Barty's loyalty. 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
http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Bartemius_Crouch_Jr.
5/9

a way to get Barty to join him; although Voldemort could have simply told Barty about his father being disappointing, while neglecting to reveal that Tom Riddle Sr. was a
muggle. Voldemort seems to have acknowledged Barty's worth, something his own father failed to do, referring to Barty as "his most faithful servant." However, for all of
Voldemort's public claims, he never truly cared for Barty any more than as a useful servant who is as easily disposable as any other, as Voldemort never wanted a friend.
Death Eaters
A ds by M edia Watch
A d O ptions
"If there's something I hate more than any other, it's a Death Eater who walked free. They turned their backs on my master
when he needed them most. I expected him to punish them. I expected him to torture them. Tell me he hurt them, Harry. Tell
me he told them that I, only I remained faithful"
Barty Crouch about Death Eaters
Death Eaters
Eventually Barty held a violent hatred towards 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 unforgivableapparently having completely forgotten that he was once like that
himself. 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 1994 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, and relished the thought of being alone with them to kill them. This intimidation extended to Draco
Malfoy, the son of another disloyal Death Eater, Lucius Malfoy.
Despite his hatred towards them, Barty knows 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.
Harry Potter
As Harry Potter was Voldemort's most hated enemy, Barty hated him too. 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. Barty was the one who put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire, while disguised as Alastor Moody. 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.
Barty helped Harry with the Tasks of the Triwizard Tournament, because he had turned the Triwizard Cup into a Portkey in order to finalize
Harry Potter
the plan to resurrect Voldemort and eliminate Harry once and for all. When Harry and Cedric Diggory touched it, they were transported to
the Little Hangleton graveyard. Cedric was killed by Peter Pettigrew, while Harry fought Voldemort and escaped. After that, Barty attempted
to kill Harry, but failed, being caught by Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall. 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 of it.
Longbottom family
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. After that, the Longbottoms were permanently sent to St Mungo's
Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, and Barty was imprisoned in Azkaban along with the Lestranges.
In 1994, Barty met Neville Longbottom, the son of Frank and Alice, while he was disguised as Alastor Moody. When
he read the name of Neville in a list, he showed much interest. He also performed the Cruciatus Curse on a spider,
Alice and Frank

that Neville was very frightened. After that, Barty invited Neville to his office for a cup of tea, and gave him a book
about plants. In fact, Barty gave the book to Neville in order to help Harry Potter, who was Neville's room-mate, to
Neville Longbottom.
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

Albus Dumbledore.
In 1995, after Harry Potter returned to Hogwarts from the Little Hangleton graveyard, Barty told Dumbledore that he would go along with Harry in his office, to help him relax.
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 recent events, and ran at Barty's office. Dumbledore stunned Barty at the time the latter 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.
Etymology
The name Bartemius originates from the Biblical name Bartimaeus, who was permanently blind all his life, until Jesus healed him. Being named after his father, the
reasons for naming after a blind man may be due to the fact Bartemius was quite oblivious to his mother's and house-elf's love.
The surname Crouch is a variation of the English surname Cross.

Moody's questioning
http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Bartemius_Crouch_Jr.
7/9
4/24/2014
It seems odd that Barty, when disguised as Alastor Moody, asks Harry if Voldemort punished the "cowards who wouldn't even brave Azkaban for him", and those who
denied that they had ever even worked for him,[9] when he himself did those two things,[6] and ended up screaming for his mother at the first few days of his
imprisonment. There are several possible reasons for this apparent discontinuity:
Crouch, a manipulative man and clearly a convincing actor (he was able to convincingly pose as Alastor Moody for over nine months), was trying to escape
prison to resume searching for Voldemort.
Barty, like virtually everyone else in Wizarding Britain, feared Azkaban, and the knowledge of his impending lifetime conviction (not to mention the six Dementors
in the room at the time) caused him to lose his nerve.
Due to his time in Azkaban, not to mention the years he subsequently spent under the Imperius curse, Barty may have simply gone insane, and disregarded his
own actions.
It should be noted, however, that at no point during his trial does Barty actually deny being a Death Eater. He simply denied being involved in torturing the
Longbottoms (he specifically cries out "I wasn't involved!"), and begged his father not to send him back to the Dementors.
In the film version, Barty Crouch Jr. has the habit of licking his lips when threatened, in a snake-like way, to which he occasionally shows while under the disguise of
Alastor Moody. This action led to him giving himself away to his father following the second task of the Triwizard Tournament.
In most sentences Barty says, while he is not disguised as Alastor Moody, he says the word "I".
In the films, anyone who takes Polyjuice Potion has their voice remain the same, the only change being in appearance. This does not seem to be the case for Barty
Crouch Jr. when he turns into Alastor Moody, however it does not seem impossible that Barty was imitating Moody's voice the entire time.
Barty Crouch Jr was the first person to escape Azkaban, not Sirius Black. Although, Black was the first to do it on his own.
Crouch thought that killing Harry would please Voldemort. In fact, Voldemort would have been furious, since he repeatedly stated that only he would kill Harry.
The snake-like licking of his lips was improvised by David Tennant himself and is followed by Brendan Gleeson, when Barty is disguised as Mad-Eye Moody.
