This week Chapter by Chapter returns as Harry faces off against the CLEARLY most-dangerous dragon. Join Andrew, Eric, Laura and Micah and special Slug Club guest Catherine as they tackle Chapter 20 of Goblet of Fire, “The First Task.”
Welcome to the show, Slug Club guest Catherine, who is a college professor of psychology!
In the news: Helena Bonham Carter was asked about Miriam Margolyes’ recent, controversial remarks about adult Harry Potter fans! We discuss Helena's response.
Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Goblet of Fire, Chapter 20: The First Task
7-Word Summary: Dragons are afoot inside Hogwarts’ grounds AHHHHHHH
Harry “does the right thing” with Cedric. What does this tell us about his character?
Mad-Eye Fakey’s dark detectors are going off, but not for the reason he says!
Professor McGonagall is a mother figure to Harry, and we get an inkling of it in this chapter.
Should the Triwizard Tournament feature four of the same dragon?
Why does Ludo Bagman keep asking Harry to cheat?
Harry and Ron are friends again, and we discuss what was missing in Harry’s life while he was gone.
Who do we think had the best solution for the First Task?
Karkaroff gives Harry a FOUR. Isn’t there a rubric or a better way to prevent against this absurd favoritism?!
Odds and Ends touch on Poor Poppy Pomfrey, pointed caps, Trelawney nonsense, and a cool connection between books 1, 4 and 7.
Quizzitch question: What is the pattern of Dobby's tie when Harry first encounters him in the Hogwarts kitchens?
