Potter Revisited

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
• Snape Sucks total for Chapter 7: 0

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

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 "The Invitation"

• 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 :(
• Snape Sucks total for Chapter 4: 0

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
• Snape Sucks total for Chapter 3: 0

Potter Revisited Episode #62 By The Way, This is a Harry Potter Book AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 2 "The Scar"

• We are back with Harry and the usual book recap chapter
• Why does GoF have a recap chapter? Does it really need it?
• Harry doesn't describe seeing the "dream" from Voldemort's perspective - is this a mistake?
• Tori learns the definition of Fortnight
• Harry imagining Ron and Hermione's reactions to his scar hurting is relatable
• Harry imagining Dumbledore on a beach somewhere is a great image
• Harry can't let Fred & George think of him as less than
• Harry sees Sirius as kind of a parental figure but isn't as vulnerable as one generally would be with a parent
• Harry seems to be more vulnerable with Lupin at this point than Sirius
• Sirius is still kind of mysterious in GoF - we don't really get much of Sirius' true character until OOTP
• Because this chapter is so short and gives us basically nothing, we discuss what we think the Profs get up to during the holidays
• Does McGonagall spend the summer as a cat? Does secret Quidditch scouting?
• Does Flitwick enter dueling tournaments?
• Does Trelawney ever leave her office?
• Snape Sucks total for Chapter 1: 0

• Shay starts off the episode defending Snape has he gives his version of events to the Minister of Magic
• Snape lowkey throwing Dumbledore under the bus is the only thing Tori commends him for
• Interesting how Fudge talks about having a blindspot for Harry - as he stops once Harry isn't useful to him politically
• Snape: I treat Harry Potter like any other student Tori: LIAR. +1 Snape Sucks
• Madame Pomfrey deserves better
• Snape knows Dumbledore is about to scew him over again
• This is the first time Dumbledore can't fix something for Harry - but could Dumbledore have done something?
• Classic Dumbledore sending kids to go do his dirty work
• Time Travel does not make any sense in this book
• Again, the idea that Hermione was given a way to go back in time to do more schoolwork is crazy
• Tori feels like the way time travel is used in this book reads too much like a plot device
• Shay wonders if Dumbledore abuses Time Travel for personal use as he seems to know too much
• Harry thinks he saw his Dad and he could be alive
• A lot of this book as Harry really yearning for his dad / a father figure and it makes so much sense that his Patronus is his dad's animagus form
• Does the pacing of this chapter work?
• Shay talks about Snape's feelings at the end of the chapter and how Dumbledore screws him over
• Tori brings up how time travel was used in the cursed play we don't talk about
