- Interesting how Fudge interacts with Harry in the top box, knowing how things change as soon as Harry isn't politically useful
- We are introduced to Narcissa when the Malfoys arrive

Potter Revisited Episode #67 Conspicuous Wizard Camping AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 7 "Bagman and Crouch"
- Could 'Bagman and Crouch' be a trendy TikTok dance?
- The fashion choices the Wizards have in this chapter are amazing
- Shay looked up what Point Fours are - not what we were expecting
- The tent described as being made of silk with Peacocks out front - 100% the Malfoy's tent
- Should the Ministry done more work to help the Wizards manage Muggle money and clothing?
- Feels wrong that Mr Roberts is having his memory wiped multiple times a day - wouldn't this affect him long term?
- Mr Weasley assuming all Muggles camp - like the Dursley's

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

- 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

- How is wizard travel regulated?
- What would be our preferred method of travel

Potter Revisited Episode #65 The Hot Weasley AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 5 "Weasley's Wizard Wheezes"
- We are finally back at the burrow!
- It is confirmed the Twins had not tested the product they slipped to Dudley last chapter
- Ton Tongue Toffee is a really good product name
- Mr Weasley has a good point about the optics of Fred and George giving Dudley the prank sweet and how it could affect his work
- Mr Weasley is mad but not has much as Mrs Weasley
- Mrs Weasley is upset about the Twins OWL marks - she wants the to work at the Ministry which seems to be one of the only job options the series shows so far
- She sees Fred and George as not having ambition since she doesn't see a joke shop as a serious venture but the twins clearly have lots of ambition it just shows differently than with Percy
- Percy has his job at the Ministry, which he has been working towards for a long time, and no one seems to respect him or what he has accomplished and he clearly needs the validation
- We get our first mention of Mr Couch, who's name is repeated multiple times this chapter
- Bill and Charlie prove to not be like Percy as they are battling with tables in the air outside
- Percy seems to talk to Bill and Charlie differently than his younger siblings
- Shay thinks that Ludo giving Mr Weasley the World Cup tickets after covering up for his brother a bit corrupt
- We get a Bertha Jorkins mention - interesting that we as the reader know she is dead from chapter 1 but the characters think she is missing
- Viktor Krum is also mentioned - is he the Sydney Crosby or Carrie Price of Quidditch?
- Fred and George reveal at the end of the chapter that they sent Percy dragon dung to his office - this feels more cruel than the usually siblings pranks especially since no one seems to respect Percy
- We finally get to meet Bill and Charlie Weasley
- Bill is the anti-percy, literally just COOL
- Is Bill a wizard tomb raider?
- What exactly does Charlie do with dragons at his job?
- It is interesting that Bill is constantly described as cool and handsome and ends up with Fleur - the two hottest people together

Potter Revisited Episode #64 Family Values AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 4 "Back To The Burrow"
- Should Mr & Mrs Weasley (as the adults) confirmed with Harry on how they were picking him up?
- Dudley is walking around covering his bottom which is played as a gag but rereading feels more like a trauma response
- The poor planning of the Weasleys actually makes us side with the Dursley's for once
- Why did Arthur think it would be a good idea to bring Fred and George?
- We have a lot of issues with the "prank" Fred and George play on Dudley with the toffee - there are so may variables that could of ended badly
- The Twins are seen as goofy, fun and good kids so it is interesting to look at them through a less rose coloured lens
- The Dursley's obviously have a fear of magic and the Twins as well as Mr Weasley did not help matters
- Mr Weasley forcing the Dursley's to say goodbye to Harry or be seen as rude is great
- Shay compares the Weasley's to the Dursley's on their social values and priorities
- Tori has been waiting since chapter 1 to be at the Burrow and she has to wait another episode :(

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
