- Very dark chapter
- Harry's dream is interesting as this is the first time we see him consider his future outside of school
- rereading as a an adult really highlights the assault Mr Roberts family faces
- Draco basically implies his parents are death eaters
- Why were students traveling with Madame Maxime if it is still summer holidays?

- Winky is seen in the forest and the beginning of Hermione's SPEW foundation
- Ludo being bad at his job
- Crouch trying to align himself with Harry as the least likely to be connected to the Dark Arts is interesting knowing the illegal things he has done at this point
- How Winky is spoken to by Amos and Mr Crouch is hard to read
- Hermione standing up for Winky is really when Shay starts to get on the Hermione bandwagon
- Interesting the idea is brought up only death eaters could cast the dark mark, and the idea someone could be a friend rather than a foe - foreshadowing to Snape being a double agent
- Hermione and Percy have a disagreement for the first time - over Winky
- Very big tone shift in this chapter - things are going to get more mature and darker as we continue

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

#67 Conspicuous Wizard Camping | GoF 7, Bagman and Crouch
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

- 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

- 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

#66 Nauseating Wizard Travel | GoF 6, The Portkey
Potter Revisited Episode #66 The Hot Weasley 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
- Snape Sucks total for Chapter 6: 0

#65 The Hot Weasley | GoF 5, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
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!
- Snape Sucks total for Chapter 5: 0
