Episode Summary
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
The Lovegoods are offhandedly mentioned - Shay also hates this name
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
