#63 Petty Floor Cake | GoF 3, The Invitation

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
