#88 Percy Weasley's Boggart | GoF 28, The Madness of Mr Crouch

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
