Potter Revisited Episode #67 Conspicuous Wizard Camping AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 7 "Bagman and Crouch"
We are finally at the world cup! 
The atmosphere at the beginning of the chapter really nails how it feels to go to a live sporting event
Love the Ads - adds a great touch
We are introduced to Winky the House elf - who is the opposite of Dobby 
Percy is being super embarrassing in his attempt to make connections  
Interesting how Fudge interacts with Harry in the top box, knowing how things change as soon as Harry isn't politically useful
We are introduced to Narcissa when the Malfoys arrive 
Should the Veela be described as creatures? It feels wrong as they are at least humanoid
Are the Veela a liability? Is it lucky that no one actually jumped into the stadium like Harry was thinking
Do Veela only affect men or is it attraction-based?
It's interesting that this is Harry's first time really watching Quidditch - and professional level quidditch at that 
The Ref getting caught up by the Veela's - we would leave the country if this was us
Interesting Hermione's view of Krum changes when he does something she thinks is brave
Shay brings up her issues with the fact that Krum catches the snitch even though his team is behind in points
Was it done to stress the point that catching the snitch isn't a guaranteed win? 
How were the twins able to predict the win? 
We discuss how this chapter was barely touched on in the movie

Potter Revisited Episode #67 Conspicuous Wizard Camping AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 7 "Bagman and Crouch"
Could 'Bagman and Crouch' be a trendy TikTok dance?
The fashion choices the Wizards have in this chapter are amazing 
Shay looked up what Point Fours are - not what we were expecting
The tent described as being made of silk with Peacocks out front - 100% the Malfoy's tent 
Should the Ministry done more work to help the Wizards manage Muggle money and clothing? 
Feels wrong that Mr Roberts is having his memory wiped multiple times a day - wouldn't this affect him long term? 
Mr Weasley assuming all Muggles camp - like the Dursley's 
Tori needs a magical tent in her life - Canada's housing market is garbage 
Harry's first time seeing Wizard kids - do magical kids have more control or magical ability being raised with the knowledge of magic?
The Salem witches Institute - we discuss how wizarding schooling could be done in America / Canada
Hermione thinks Krum looks grumpy - Ron is aghast. Interesting how things will change 
Tori is hear for Archie and his nightgown
If this was taking place now, would we even care about what these wizards are wearing? Clothing is much more gender fluid these days 
Harry sees Cho and spills water down his front - classic 
Harry realizes how big the Wizarding Community is 
Mr Weasley seems to have a good reputation in the Ministry and he knows lots of people in multiple departments
Interesting how Mr Weasley sees his job at the Ministry VS Percy who sees his current job as a stepping stone 
Interesting bets made for the World Cup - Agatha with her Eel farm seems steep 
Percy is so excited to have Mr Crouch there... and he doesn't know Percy's name
Ludo Bagman really does live up to the washed up athlete that ends up in an important position he doesn't deserve 
In contrast Crouch obviously worked for what he had and takes everything very seriously

Potter Revisited Episode #66 Nauseating Wizard Travel AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 6 "The Portkey"
On the top of the episode we want to address the recent issue of the author once again using her platform to target and hurt the Trans community - There is no justification for what she is doing and we stand with the Trans community. 
The opening of the chapter really feels similar to preparing to go on an early flight - you are tired but excited 
We learn what Treacle is 
We feel the younger kids pain knowing that Bill, Charlie and Percy get to sleep in because they can Apparate 
Fred is talking like he can apparate - would he know how? 
Splinching sounds awful 
Fred and George try to slip out of the house with all of their toffees - should they have come up with a better plan? 
Lots of friction between the Twins and Mrs Weasley about how she feels the twins have no ambition and the Twins pushing back on what they want to do 
Portkeys are introduced and their is a lot of foreshadowing 
We meet Amos and Cedric Diggory 
Amos is just a dad living through his son and is so embarrassing  
The Lovegoods are offhandedly mentioned - Shay also hates this name 
We discuss all the transportation methods we have been introduced to - especially in this chapter 
How is wizard travel regulated? 
What would be our preferred method of travel 
There are lots of transitional chapters in Goblet of Fire - toeing the line of being a kids book and something a bit older

Potter Revisited Episode #65 The Hot Weasley AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 5 "Weasley's Wizard Wheezes"
We are finally back at the burrow! 
It is confirmed the Twins had not tested the product they slipped to Dudley last chapter
Ton Tongue Toffee is a really good product name 
Mr Weasley has a good point about the optics of Fred and George giving Dudley the prank sweet and how it could affect his work 
Mr Weasley is mad but not has much as Mrs Weasley 
Mrs Weasley is upset about the Twins OWL marks - she wants the to work at the Ministry which seems to be one of the only job options the series shows so far
She sees Fred and George as not having ambition since she doesn't see a joke shop as a serious venture but the twins clearly have lots of ambition it just shows differently than with Percy
Percy has his job at the Ministry, which he has been working towards for a long time, and no one seems to respect him or what he has accomplished and he clearly needs the validation 
We get our first mention of Mr Couch, who's name is repeated multiple times this chapter 
Bill and Charlie prove to not be like Percy as they are battling with tables in the air outside
Percy seems to talk to Bill and Charlie differently than his younger siblings 
Shay thinks that Ludo giving Mr Weasley the World Cup tickets after covering up for his brother a bit corrupt 
We get a Bertha Jorkins mention - interesting that we as the reader know she is dead from chapter 1 but the characters think she is missing 
Viktor Krum is also mentioned - is he the Sydney Crosby or Carrie Price of Quidditch? 
Fred and George reveal at the end of the chapter that they sent Percy dragon dung to his office - this feels more cruel than the usually siblings pranks especially since no one seems to respect Percy
We finally get to meet Bill and Charlie Weasley
Bill is the anti-percy, literally just COOL
Is Bill a wizard tomb raider? 
What exactly does Charlie do with dragons at his job? 
It is interesting that Bill is constantly described as cool and handsome and ends up with Fleur - the two hottest people together
Shay has an important message: get out and support your women's hockey league!

Potter Revisited Episode #64 Family Values AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 4 "Back To The Burrow"
Should Mr & Mrs Weasley (as the adults) confirmed with Harry on how they were picking him up?
 Dudley is walking around covering his bottom which is played as a gag but rereading feels more like a trauma response 
The poor planning of the Weasleys actually makes us side with the Dursley's for once 
Why did Arthur think it would be a good idea to bring Fred and George?
We have a lot of issues with the "prank" Fred and George play on Dudley with the toffee - there are so may variables that could of ended badly 
The Twins are seen as goofy, fun and good kids so it is interesting to look at them through a less rose coloured lens 
The Dursley's obviously have a fear of magic and the Twins as well as Mr Weasley did not help matters
Mr Weasley forcing the Dursley's to say goodbye to Harry or be seen as rude is great
Shay compares the Weasley's to the Dursley's on their social values and priorities 
Tori has been waiting since chapter 1 to be at the Burrow and she has to wait another episode :(

Potter Revisited Episode #63 By The Way, This is a Harry Potter Book AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 3 "The Invitation"
The fatphobia around the Dursley's is very rampant - definitely other things to focus on 
Shay feels for the teachers that have to deal with parents like the Dursley's 
Dudley's diet feels very 90s/early 2000s diet culture 
Mrs Weasley sends the Dursley's a letter to invite Harry to stay with the Weasleys - something she is not accustom to but obviously went to the effort out of politeness - the Dursley's didn't really deserve such kindness 
Harry using Sirius to blackmail the Dursley's is great and something Sirius would be proud of
This is the one summer Harry really has the upper hand on the Dursley's 
Harry is keeping food and more specifically birthday cake under a floorboard in his room - is that safe to eat? Tori would never but Shay would consider it 
Ron sends a letter telling Harry that they are getting him no matter what the Durlsey's say - can't miss the world cup! 
Ron's letter mentions that Percy got a job at the Ministry but doesn't seem to impressed by it - is this already showing more friction between Percy and his family? 
Ron has invited both Harry and Hermione to come to the world cup match - he is the only Weasley kid bringing friends. Is it realistic that none of the other Weasley siblings wouldn't have something to say about that? 
Shay feels it is too convenient for Arthur to get so many tickets no matter what Ludo Bagman says - and thinks it could of been something organized by Dumbledore 
Harry and Hermione could probably afford their own tickets as well 
Shay breaks down the cost of what the world cup tickets could cost
Despite not being overly ambitious and climbing the corporate ladder, Arthur is obviously well respected in the Ministry
We touch on Ludo not being great at his job and how being semi famous in the sports world is a relatable phenomenon
The chapter ends with Harry in really high spirits, excited to see a real professional quidditch game with his friends, and this is probably the last time we see Harry so carefree
