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  Snape Sucks total for Chapter 3: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited
