Can anyone tell me what I should put down for the 'conflicts' of the book, for my report?

How about "the poor vs. the affluent"? Harry is able to buy whatever souvenirs that he wants at the Quidditch World Cup because he has money, but Ron has to limit his choices to what he can afford with the little money he has. Lucius Malfoy taunts Arthur Weasley about being poor when they take their seats. The issue comes up later with the leprechaun gold in Hagrid's lesson about nifflers. Harry never even noticed when his pocket full of galleons disappeared because money isn't an issue for him, but Ron never has enough money so he'd definitely notice. And, Harry can afford nice dress robes for the Yule Ball, but Ron has to wear old fashioned used ones.

Another conflict could be the "Purebloods vs. Others." Arthur Weasley accuses Fred and George of Muggle-baiting because of the candy they left for Dudley. The Malfoys dislike Hermione because she is Muggleborn and they are Purebloods. The Death Eaters torture the Muggle family that runs the camp. Draco warns Hermione to get out of the area unless she wants to be next because she is Muggleborn. Rita Skeeter causes Hagrid to be replaced by another teacher because he is "a half breed." The Death Eaters (Purebloods) hate everyone else that aren't like them and even those that are like them, but oppose their views (Weasleys, Dumbledore).

First conflict was between Rowling's desire to write and knowing when to stop. That book was too long.

Other conflicts:

Harry vs Ron- Ron's jealousy over Harry's attention, while Harry resents being misunderstood

Harry vs fate- Being drawn (against his will) into this epic struggle of evil vs good.

Harry's internal conflicts over liking Cedric yet wanting Cho to be his girlfriend
