#66 Nauseating Wizard Travel | GoF 6, The Portkey

Potter Revisited Episode #66 Nauseating Wizard Travel 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
