The reason for the portkey was Voldie didnt want anyone to know he was back. If harry got killed from just an ordinary portkey, disappeared, etc it would be obvious who was behind it. By having him die in the maze, it would look like he died by some other reason than the portkey. People wouldnt expect Voldie behind it then

what??

no matter what, if voldie's plan works, harry just dissapears.



The maze wouldnt be, like, permanent. They would all be like "wtf.. where is harry?" an hour later.

Harry wasn't going to disappear. His dead body would have been sent back to the maze using the portkey.

It was explained in OotP that Harry's escape from the graveyard was critical because it allowed him to alert Dumbledore and the wizarding world that Voldemort was back. Voldemort's plan was to rebuid his army secretly. Instead, the Order was reformed immediately to fight him.

Because of this, Harry's death needed to appear to be an accident. He couldn't simply be taken out of the school on some September day, killed, and be sent back. The TriWizard maze offered an opportunity to snatch Harry with nobody watching and allow believable explanations for how he died.

true but it would be obv he got killed by the killing curse then. Which nothing in the maze would do though?
