- 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

- Is it odd hearing very negative and prejudice talk from Hagrid, who is generally very open and friendly

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?

- 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
