Potter Revisited

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
