Veritaserum is a very powerful Truth Potion that forces those who drink it to tell the truth even if they don't want to. Regarding Cedric's death, the author mentioned that it also took Harry some time to recover from the emotional shock of losing his friend, which is why he only gets to see the Thestrals one year later. According to her, Harry had not been able to see them sooner because, despite witnessing his mother's death, he could not fully understand it due to his young age. This situation raised many doubts in the audience, but luckily, Rowling clarified it a few years later. However, Harry had already been exposed to Thestrals just after Cedric's death, and he was not able to see them, nor had he ever seen them in his previous years at Hogwarts, considering that he had watched his mother die when he was a baby. Luna, a friend of his who can also see them, explains that these are creatures only visible to those who have witnessed people dying, and that he is now able to see them because he was present when Cedric Diggory died after the Triwizard Tournament. When Harry arrives at Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, he discovers that the chariots transporting them into the building are not pulled by magic, but by Thestrals, which he had never seen before.
