Background

Cedric Diggory is a wizard from house Hufflepuff and student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His father is Amos Diggory.

During the events of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) played by Robert Pattinson

Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Mr Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley and Ginny Weasley hike into the woods and meet up with Amos and Cedric. They gather around an old boot near the edge of a cliff and use the boot as a Portkey to travel to the Quidditch World Cup. After the game, the campground is attacked by Death Eaters. As Albus Dumbledore is talking to the students, Mr Filch runs up and tells him something. Dumbledore continues and tells the students that Hogwarts will be hosting the Triwizard Tournament. Dumbledore introduces Madame Olympe Maxime and the students of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, including Fleur Delacour. He then introduces Igor Karkaroff and the students of Durmstrang, which includes Viktor Krum. The Goblet of Fire is brought into the hall and Dumbledore tells the students that whoever wins the tournament will have eternal glory. Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody walks into the hall and is greeted by Dumbledore. Barty Crouch tells the students that no student under the age of 17 will be able to apply to participate for the Triwizard Tournament.`

As the days go on different students put their names in the Goblet of Fire, including Cedric. During the champion selection, Cedric, Viktor, Fleur and Harry's names are chosen. A Photographer takes a photo of the contestants and then Rita Skeeter interviews them. Harry walks up to Cedric and tells him that dragons will be the first challenge. Each contestant picks a representation of the dragon they will face from a bag. Fleur pulls out a Welsh Green, Viktor pulls out a Chinese Fireball, Cedric pulls out a Swedish Short-Snout and Harry pulls out a Hungarian Horntail. They are then tasked with collecting the dragon egg guarded by the dragons. On the day of the Yule Ball, Cedric goes with Cho Chang. Before the next challenge, Cedric gives Harry a hint on how to get the required clue from the dragon egg. During the next challenge, each challenger must collect a loved one from the Black Lake. Cedric frees Cho, and Viktor saves Hermione after Harry is stopped from saving her by the Merpeople.

The final challenge begins and the challengers enter a maze. Fleur is attacked by Viktor and exits the challenge. Viktor attacks Cedric, but is stunned by him and Harry stops Cedric and tells him, Viktor has been bewitched. Harry and Cedric grab the Goblet at the same time and appear in the Riddle cemetery. Peter Pettigrew walks over with Voldemort and Voldemort has Peter kill Cedric. Voldemort challenges Harry to a duel and as they are dueling, their wands appear to cancel each other out. The dead spirits of Frank Bryce, Cedric, James Potter and Lily Potter appear and James tells Harry to run to the Goblet, which acts as a Portkey.
