In this episode, we dive into Chapter 26: The Second Task from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! The Triwizard Tournament continues as Harry faces the murky depths of the Black Lake in a race against time. Who will he choose to rescue? And how will he breathe underwater for an hour?

We’ll explore the magic, the strategy, and the emotional stakes of this iconic moment—from gillyweed to grindylows to the mystery of merpeople. Whether you’re rereading with us or hearing it for the first time, join us for an in-depth look at the second task and what it reveals about Harry’s courage, loyalty, and instincts.

Come on in, light your candles, grab a warm cup of coffee, cocoa, tea, and some snacky snacks, and make yourself at home! Sit back and venture with us through the magical world of Harry Potter. If you have thoughts and theories please send us an owl at [email protected] and we will read it on the SHOW.
