Potter Revisited Episode #90 Constant Judgement from your Predecessors AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 30 "The Pensieve"
- We are back in Dumbledore's office
- Fudge quickly backpedals when Harry calls him out
- There is a lot of recapping done about Dumbledore's office but a lot of these things do come back in the series later on
- Harry is so nosey, we love him for it
- Interesting seeing the Real Moody in the memories - we get a good idea of his character and Moody's stance on justice
- We finally get the confirmation that Snape was a Death Eater
- What testimony did Dumbledore do to clear Snape? It seems incredible that the government just took Dumbledore's word on Snape
- Ludo getting off due to him being a celebrated athlete is too close to real life
- We see the court proceeding where Crouch tries his own son - did Barty Jr play up his innocence to make his father look bad?
- Would Crouch's career been more affected if Barty JR had acting more like Bellatrix in the trial?
- Did Dumbledore leave the pensieve out on purpose for Harry to find?
- It still feels odd that Harry did not see the dream through Voldemort's perspective
- We get more context to Neville's past and Harry has really great empathy
- Neville's parents being alive but not cognitive feels worse than Harry's parents being dead
- Dumbledore will not tell Harry anything about Snape's loyalty. Should Dumbledore have given more context? Harry's mistrust of Snape hurts Harry a lot down the line
- Dumbledore asking Harry not to tell people about Neville's parents and letting Neville decide when to tell people seems like the only time Dumbledore has protected a student that is not Harry
- How does the Pensieve work and what are the main purposes? We discuss how it could be used in court trials and other uses
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 30:0

Potter Revisited Episode #88 Percy Weasley's Boggart AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 28 "The Madness of Mr Crouch"
- Is this confirmation that Butterbeer is alcoholic?
- Winky is so sad, yet none of the House Elves besides Dobby don't seem to have any empathy for her
- Hermione is sent a bunch of hate mail due to Rita Skeeter's article - shouldn't there be process to check the mail students are sent?
- Why are adults sending a minor child (at a SCHOOL) hate with curses and dangerous substances??
- It the grand scheme of things, if there was a bit of truth to Rita's article - is this amount of hate really necessary?
- Hermione has a real strong sense of self for a girl her age - most teens would not be able to handle this with the amount of grace as she does
- Hagrid seems to finally hit the sweet spot with teaching - the lesson he plans with the Nifflers is interactive, fun and not overly dangerous
- How the Weasley siblings deal with their financial insecurity is all very interesting
- Ron internalizes it
- The Twins are proactive and work on creating a business
- Percy follows in his fathers footsteps and enters the Ministry, and plans to work his way up the corporate ladder
- Bill and Charlie both take career paths that lead them out of the country
- Rita is not ready for the wrath Hermione has coming for her
- It is disappointing how Mrs Weasley is treating Hermione - why does she believe this article when she knows how Rita Skeeter is?
- Does the way Mrs Weasley treat the boys VS the girls show a character flaw?
- Percy sends his letter regarding Mr Crouch and he is not pleased
- Viktor pulls Harry aside for a private word - this would have been such a great scene for the film
- Why does Snape stop Harry when it is obviously an emergency? + 1 Sucks point
- Karkaroff does have a point from his perspective - this tournament is very suspicious
- Is this the first time we really see Hagrid's rage?
- Is it odd hearing very negative and prejudice talk from Hagrid, who is generally very open and friendly
- Its unfortunate the Mr Crouch plotline with pretty much cut from the films - this would have been a great dramatic scene after the comic relief of Harry and Krum's talk
- Seeing Mr Crouch like this would be Percy's boggart
- Lots of foreshadowing from Crouch
- Snape Sucks total for Chapter 28: 1

Potter Revisited Episode #87 The Scarlett Woman AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 27 "Padfoot Returns"
- Is it strange that people were teasing Hermione about Krum? wouldn't people try and cozy up to her to get close to Krum?
- Rita's next article comes out which is an attack on Hermione's character - how was she able to publish this about a minor?
- Hermione doesn't care what Rita says about her, but it is sad to think that Mrs Weasley believes this article and it changes how she treats Hermione later on
- Ron handles the article pretty well, and only seems concerned that Krum invited Hermione to visit him in the summer
- Is it weird that Krum invited Hermione to visit him due to the age gap?
- +1 Snape Sucks point for Snape deciding to embrass Harry by reading the article out loud
- +1 Snape Sucks point for threatening Harry with truth serum
- Karkaroff being suspicious
- It's nice that Harry kept his promise and bought Dobby socks
- Bagman is such a red herring in this book, and it turns out his is just a bad employee and kind of bad person
- It's so nice seeing Sirius as a real character
- Crouch sent Sirius to prison without a trial - if Sirius had gotten a trial, would things have been different?
- Sirius brings up an interesting point to the kids that people on the 'good side' can also be bad
- Crouch sent his own son to prison - why didn't he recuse himself?
- It feels odd when Sirius talks about his childhood with Snape that he never mentions that Snape was friends with Lily
- Ron says that Percy would turn them in if it stood in the way of his career - interesting foreshadowing to Percy choosing the Ministry over his family in OOTP

Potter Revisited Episode #85 Petty Pyjama Party AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 25 "The Egg and the Eye"
- Harry decides to finally use Cedric's advice and use the Prefect bathroom to take a bath with the egg
- We get why Harry suddenly thinks he should be a Prefect - just for the bathroom perks
- This bathroom sounds like goals - a bathtub as big as a pool?
- There is a lot of recapping from previous books in this chapter - is it really necessary? Seems to be a big theme of it in GoF specifically

- Bagman offers Harry help again and Harry brings up Cedric - we love Harry being so honest and a good sport

- Hermione is fired up and marches down to Hagrid's to get him to come back and ends up face to face with Dumbledore - this would have been such a great scene for the films
