I feel that the most noteworthy example of inventiveness in 'BEAUXBATON'S BRILLIANCE' to be the 'Phoenix Flutterby'.
During the contest, each entrant must outguess a guardian phoenix. These birds are ex-members of Hogwarts angel squadron ( Phoenix protectors of Hogwarts cellar of surprise --- where all manner of magical wonders are kept from the prying eyes of 'He who must not be named').
These birds were phoenixes previously under the control of a Shadow clan of Night Goblins.They were once employees of the Death Eaters.
As a means to gain official pardons, they volunteered their services for the tournament.
To outguess a Phoenix, it's number of feathers must be estimated. At the same time, the fabulous bird attempts to confuse each entrant with a dazzling array of spectral rainbow showers.
The scene is a FABULOUS example of the magical side of nature!
