In my opinion, the "Initiation" archetype is best represented as the newfound awareness of the Triwizard Tournament, and when Harry discovers that he will participate in the tournament if he intended to or not. The new problems at hand are, firstly, the tournament tasks (dragons, kidnappings and maze) and secondly, staying alive, when someone is obviously trying to get him hurt or, probably, killed in the tournament. The “Fall” archetype is not as pronounced as the others, I dare say it may be related to the key door in the labyrinth, and that is what carries Harry and Cedric over the “Threshold” (symbolic archetype). The “Threshold” archetype is described as a door to another realm that the hero must enter to mature and grow. By being transported to the graveyard, encountering Voldemort in his own body and experiencing exactly what he is capable of doing, Harry comes to have a new understanding of who his enemy is and what must be done to stop him.
