#86 Gillyweed: High in Moral Fiber | GoF 26, The Second Task

Potter Revisited Episode #86 Gillyweed: High in Moral Fiber AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 26 "The Second Task"

• Procrastination Harry is at it again 
• We miss the hats in the movies!
• Neville accidentally banishing Prof Flitchwick - is it impressive?
• Ron is back on the Snape is Evil train
• Harry wondering what Snape did to lose a first chance with Dumbledore - we remember Harry's reaction in HBP
• Harry thinking of Aqua Lungs - would he lose points for using a Muggle solution for a task?
• Hermione brings up Human Transfiguration - which makes us reflect on Harry's dad and friends accomplishing this 
• Hagrid knows a lot more about 'normal' magical creatures - he definitely teaches what he thinks is cool 
• How much planning went into this task? Were parents aware of their kids doing this?
• Harry assumes what the Merpeople will take is an object, notably his firebolt 
• Dobby comes to save the day!
• Do the other champions know it was a person taken from then?
• Harry cares so much about Ron, he takes this so seriously
• Do the champions hostages make sense? Krum has only known Hermione for a few months, and Cedric and Cho just started dating
• Why was Percy permitted to judge the tournament? He is just an assistant!
• Is this one of Harry's character-defining moments? He doesn't care about the competition, he is only focused on saving everyone
• Really nice how much more character Fleur has in the book 
• Shay is not a fan of the Merpeople song, and rewrites it
• Snape Sucks total for Chapter 26: 0
