Foi divertido? Certamente foi.

Como a maioria dos eventos no mundo dos bruxos, parece haver quantias muito significativas de dinheiro apostadas no resultado de cada evento.
‘Nope,’ said George, shaking his head. ‘The goblins play as dirty as him. They say you drew with Diggory, and Bagman was betting you’d win outright. So Bagman had to run for it. He made a run for it right after the third task.’
Isso por si só deve ser suficiente para tornar o resultado bastante interessante
O que pode ser visto nas arquibancadas
Como você apontou, cada um dos dois últimos eventos realmente ocorre atrás de 'portas fechadas' metafóricas (o lago e o labirinto), mas isso não quer dizer que você não possa ver nada. A diversão em grande parte parece vir da antecipação de quem surgirá primeiro.
A recontagem dos eventos
Parece positivamente encorajado que se espere que os participantes (os campeões e os vários patsies) tragam suas histórias para o seu público adorador, exagerando e embelezando enquanto vão. Como um jogo de pôquer conduzido em particular, as histórias que surgem são importantes.
One of the best things about the aftermath of the second task was that everybody was very keen to hear details of what had happened down in the lake, which meant that for once Ron was getting to share Harry’s limelight. Harry noticed that Ron’s version of events changed subtly with every retelling. At first, he gave what seemed to be the truth; it tallied with Hermione’s story, anyway – Dumbledore had put all the hostages into a bewitched sleep in Professor McGonagall’s office, first assuring them that they would be quite safe, and would awake when they were back above the water. One week later, however, Ron was telling a thrilling tale of kidnap in which he struggled single-handedly against fifty heavily armed merpeople who had to beat him into submission before tying him up.
