Harry Potter: “That’s not how it’s supposed to work. The one who reaches the cup first gets the points. That’s you. I’m telling you, I’m not going to win any races on this leg.” Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come, when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory." — Albus Dumbledore's eulogy to Cedric [src] During the first task of the Triwizard Tournament, Krum used the Conjunctivitis Curse against his dragon, a female Chinese Fireball, which blinded her, causing her to crush some of her eggs, which lost him points. [3] During the second task which took place in the Great Lake, he transformed himself into a shark so he could swim underwater, albeit badly. [4] During the third task in the Triwizard Maze, he was placed under the Imperius Curse by Bartemius Crouch Junior, [5] in which Barty made him use the Cruciatus Curse on Cedric Diggory. [6] Cedric Diggory asked Cho Chang to the Yule Ball. Cedric Diggory called upon Harry at the end of the Yule Ball to give him a hint about the golden egg. He told him to take a bath with the egg as recompense for Harry sharing the secret about the dragons in the first task. Cedric and Cho got in line near Harry Potter so that all of the Champions could enter the Great Hall together, where they danced the first song to officially open the celebrations.

When Harry is cleaning out his school trunk in 1997, he finds a 'Support Cedric Diggory!' badge in there. Considering the badges were only created by Draco Malfoy to get a rise out of Harry in 1994, it seems out of place that Harry has it, although he may have it by accident, or out of respect for Cedric. He could also have kept one as a memento from the Tournament. While this side of him was never seen in the original timeline, he appeared to have a sense of honour and importance for his title at the school. This was proven by the fact that in one of the alternate timelines, in which he was humiliated during the Triwizard Tournament, this feeling of embarrassment eventually led him to join the Death Eaters. This means that if his pride or status had ever been shot down enough, this feeling of anger would have turned him over to the Death Eaters. Furthermore, this descent into darkness led him to become ruthless, as he murdered Neville Longbottom in his services of Lord Voldemort. Ash wands are said to be best suited to wizards that are stubborn and steadfast in their beliefs.

We therefore award him forty-seven points." — Ludovic Bagman praising Cedric's impressive use of the Bubble-Head Charm [src] Cedric’s death had a profound effect on Harry. Despite losing his parents as a baby, this was the first proper time someone he truly ‘knew’ died in front of him, as an indirect result of a decision he made. This was the death that gave Harry the ability to see Thestrals, and the death that haunted his dreams for a time afterwards. The fact it happened to such a noble and just person who wouldn’t take that cup, thus ensuring he would get caught in the crossfire through his own decency, made it even worse.Cedric Diggory’s wand was 12 1/4 inches long, made of Ash with unicorn hair.
