- #69 Safety Now, Clarification Later | GoF 9, The Dark Mark
Potter Revisited Episode #69 Safety Now, Clarification Later AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 9 "The Dark Mark"
- Very dark chapter
- Harry's dream is interesting as this is the first time we see him consider his future outside of school
- rereading as a an adult really highlights the assault Mr Roberts family faces
- Draco basically implies his parents are death eaters
- Why were students traveling with Madame Maxime if it is still summer holidays?
- Harry realizes he has lost his wand - kind of similar to losing your phone now and how vulnerable you feel without it
- Why does Ron seem more affected by the Veelas than Harry?
- Could Harry being a Horcurx stop him from being as affected?
- Winky is seen in the forest and the beginning of Hermione's SPEW foundation
- Ludo being bad at his job
- Crouch trying to align himself with Harry as the least likely to be connected to the Dark Arts is interesting knowing the illegal things he has done at this point
- How Winky is spoken to by Amos and Mr Crouch is hard to read
- Hermione standing up for Winky is really when Shay starts to get on the Hermione bandwagon
- Interesting the idea is brought up only death eaters could cast the dark mark, and the idea someone could be a friend rather than a foe - foreshadowing to Snape being a double agent
- Hermione and Percy have a disagreement for the first time - over Winky
- Very big tone shift in this chapter - things are going to get more mature and darker as we continue
- Snape Sucks total for Chapter 9: 0

Potter Revisited Episode #67 Conspicuous Wizard Camping AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 7 "Bagman and Crouch"
- We are finally at the world cup!
- The atmosphere at the beginning of the chapter really nails how it feels to go to a live sporting event
- Love the Ads - adds a great touch
- We are introduced to Winky the House elf - who is the opposite of Dobby
- Percy is being super embarrassing in his attempt to make connections
- 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
- Should the Veela be described as creatures? It feels wrong as they are at least humanoid
- Are the Veela a liability? Is it lucky that no one actually jumped into the stadium like Harry was thinking
- Do Veela only affect men or is it attraction-based?
- It's interesting that this is Harry's first time really watching Quidditch - and professional level quidditch at that
- The Ref getting caught up by the Veela's - we would leave the country if this was us
- Interesting Hermione's view of Krum changes when he does something she thinks is brave
- Shay brings up her issues with the fact that Krum catches the snitch even though his team is behind in points
- Was it done to stress the point that catching the snitch isn't a guaranteed win?
- How were the twins able to predict the win?
- We discuss how this chapter was barely touched on in the movie
- Snape Sucks total for Chapter 8: 0

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
- Tori needs a magical tent in her life - Canada's housing market is garbage
- Harry's first time seeing Wizard kids - do magical kids have more control or magical ability being raised with the knowledge of magic?
- The Salem witches Institute - we discuss how wizarding schooling could be done in America / Canada
- Hermione thinks Krum looks grumpy - Ron is aghast. Interesting how things will change
- Tori is hear for Archie and his nightgown
- If this was taking place now, would we even care about what these wizards are wearing? Clothing is much more gender fluid these days

- Mr Weasley seems to have a good reputation in the Ministry and he knows lots of people in multiple departments
- Interesting how Mr Weasley sees his job at the Ministry VS Percy who sees his current job as a stepping stone

- Percy is so excited to have Mr Crouch there... and he doesn't know Percy's name
- Ludo Bagman really does live up to the washed up athlete that ends up in an important position he doesn't deserve
- In contrast Crouch obviously worked for what he had and takes everything very seriously

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
- Fred and George try to slip out of the house with all of their toffees - should they have come up with a better plan?
- 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
- Amos is just a dad living through his son and is so embarrassing

- We discuss all the transportation methods we have been introduced to - especially in this chapter
- How is wizard travel regulated?
- What would be our preferred method of travel
- There are lots of transitional chapters in Goblet of Fire - toeing the line of being a kids book and something a bit older
- Snape Sucks total for Chapter 6: 0

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
- Shay has an important message: get out and support your women's hockey league!

https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited33 min - #64 Family Values | GoF 4, Back To The Burrow
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

Potter Revisited Episode #62 By The Way, This is a Harry Potter Book AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 2 "The Scar"
- We are back with Harry and the usual book recap chapter
- Why does GoF have a recap chapter? Does it really need it?
- Harry doesn't describe seeing the "dream" from Voldemort's perspective - is this a mistake?
- Tori learns the definition of Fortnight
- Harry imagining Ron and Hermione's reactions to his scar hurting is relatable
- Harry imagining Dumbledore on a beach somewhere is a great image
- Harry can't let Fred & George think of him as less than
- Harry sees Sirius as kind of a parental figure but isn't as vulnerable as one generally would be with a parent
- Harry seems to be more vulnerable with Lupin at this point than Sirius
- Sirius is still kind of mysterious in GoF - we don't really get much of Sirius' true character until OOTP
- Because this chapter is so short and gives us basically nothing, we discuss what we think the Profs get up to during the holidays
- Does McGonagall spend the summer as a cat? Does secret Quidditch scouting?
- Does Flitwick enter dueling tournaments?
- Does Trelawney ever leave her office?

Potter Revisited Episode #61 Frank Bryce and the... Oops! He's Dead AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 1 "The Riddle House"

- Tori brings up some fun GoF facts, including a Weasley character that was eventually scrapped from the book
- Tori brings up a childhood memory of reading this book for a book report - and her mom not believing she could finish it in time
- This is one of the few chapters we get that is not through Harry's perspective and Shay loves it
- We get the life story of Muggle Frank Bryce as well as some backstory on the Riddle family
- Tori wonders how Voldemort is currently existing
- Wormtail is basically keeping Voldemort alive yet he is treated so poorly - it really shows how little self esteem Peter has that he just doesn't leave
- Voldemort mentions his faithful servant at Hogwarts - foreshadowing the next mystery for the readers to solve
- The tone in the first chapter already is a lot darker than the first three books
- We are introduced to Frank and then he is murdered - does this foreshadowing more deaths to come?
