Potter Revisited Episode #96 Gaslighting AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 36 "The Parting of the Ways"
- We are now a Fudge Hate podcast
- After learning that Moody was actually Barty Crouch Jr and everything that happened to him, Harry still needs to sit with Dumbledore and tell him everything that happened
- Despite it all, Harry does ask about Cedric's parents
- Fawkes gives Harry the emotional support he needs, as well as Sirius
- Harry feels immediate comfort with Fawkes around - is this due to the wand or, or is this just what Phoenixes do?
- Fawkes is basically an emotional support animal at this point
- Could Dumbledore just have gotten Harry's memories of the events instead of making him relive it?
- Dumbledore keeps telling Harry he did beyond what was expected of him... but what was expected of him?
- Dumbledore's "gleam of triumph" What does it mean?
- We learn brother wands can't attack each other - what was Olivander doing making these wands in the first place?
- Sirius is visibly shocked and upset about the ghostly apparitions of James and Lily - is he reliving his own trauma from their deaths?
- Dumbledore does show Harry a lot of care in the aftermath, which is starkly different to how he treats Harry in OOTP
- Dumbledore: "What matters isn't what someone is born but what they grow to be" - very interesting quote in regards to the series
- Note: We do discuss the author's transphobic views in relation to this quote
- Mini G comes in yelling at Fudge - good for her
- Fudge came in and got rid of the "evidence" and then complains about the lack of evidence
- Fudge gaslights everyone SO hard
- Fudge shows the ugly side of his character with how he treats Harry and avoids responsibility to to see reason
- Why is Fudge coming to question the suspect rather than a trained professional like an Aurror?
- Fudge seems suspicious - the way he acted seems like he was in on a cover up
- Cedric's parents deserve answers in how he died
- Interesting when Harry names Lucius Malfoy as a Death Eater, Fudge brings up the fact that he is from an "old family" that donates a large amount of money, so he is obviously innocent - something we see a lot today
- Snape shows Fudge and everyone around his dark mark - is this pretty brave of him?
- Sirius reveals himself to everyone, and Snape realizes that Dumbledore has been gaslighting him for a year
- It feels naïve the way Dumbledore tries to have Sirius and Snape burry the hatchet - he expected too much as they have too much history
- Sirius and Snape leave to do their part of Dumbledore's master plan, and Mrs Weasley steps in to support Harry
- Harry describes the hug he gets being like from a mother - which has so much emotional ties with everything he has been through
- It is interesting how this chapter closes everything yet everything is not resolved and won't be going into OOTP - really a new beginning
- Last chapter and wrap up for GOF coming soon!
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 36:0

- Harry is being very vulnerable with fake Moody
- The reveal that (fake) Moody put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire was shocking to Tori as a kid, when you think at the moment that Moody is a bad guy

Potter Revisited Episode #90 Constant Judgement from your Predecessors AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 30 "The Pensieve"

- There is a lot of recapping done about Dumbledore's office but a lot of these things do come back in the series later on
- Harry is so nosey, we love him for it
- Interesting seeing the Real Moody in the memories - we get a good idea of his character and Moody's stance on justice
- We finally get the confirmation that Snape was a Death Eater
- What testimony did Dumbledore do to clear Snape? It seems incredible that the government just took Dumbledore's word on Snape
- Ludo getting off due to him being a celebrated athlete is too close to real life
- We see the court proceeding where Crouch tries his own son - did Barty Jr play up his innocence to make his father look bad?
- Would Crouch's career been more affected if Barty JR had acting more like Bellatrix in the trial?
- Did Dumbledore leave the pensieve out on purpose for Harry to find?

- We get more context to Neville's past and Harry has really great empathy

- Dumbledore asking Harry not to tell people about Neville's parents and letting Neville decide when to tell people seems like the only time Dumbledore has protected a student that is not Harry
- How does the Pensieve work and what are the main purposes? We discuss how it could be used in court trials and other uses
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 30:0

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

Potter Revisited Episode #87 The Scarlett Woman AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 27 "Padfoot Returns"
- Is it strange that people were teasing Hermione about Krum? wouldn't people try and cozy up to her to get close to Krum?
- Rita's next article comes out which is an attack on Hermione's character - how was she able to publish this about a minor?
- Hermione doesn't care what Rita says about her, but it is sad to think that Mrs Weasley believes this article and it changes how she treats Hermione later on
- Ron handles the article pretty well, and only seems concerned that Krum invited Hermione to visit him in the summer
- Is it weird that Krum invited Hermione to visit him due to the age gap?
- +1 Snape Sucks point for Snape deciding to embrass Harry by reading the article out loud
- +1 Snape Sucks point for threatening Harry with truth serum

- It's nice that Harry kept his promise and bought Dobby socks
- Bagman is such a red herring in this book, and it turns out his is just a bad employee and kind of bad person
- It's so nice seeing Sirius as a real character
- Crouch sent Sirius to prison without a trial - if Sirius had gotten a trial, would things have been different?
- Sirius brings up an interesting point to the kids that people on the 'good side' can also be bad
- Crouch sent his own son to prison - why didn't he recuse himself?
- It feels odd when Sirius talks about his childhood with Snape that he never mentions that Snape was friends with Lily
- Ron says that Percy would turn them in if it stood in the way of his career - interesting foreshadowing to Percy choosing the Ministry over his family in OOTP
