This week, TAKE NOTE! No, we mean it, TAKE NOTES! Because everything you need to know about the plot of Goblet of Fire is revealed as Padfoot Returns! Eric has an announcement to kick off this Pride Month! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Goblet of Fire, Chapter 27: Padfoot Returns 7-Word Summary: Crouch is not innocent of any crimes Main Discussion #1: Second Task Hangover Does Snape behave any differently from a teacher catching students talking or passing a note in class? Snape calls Harry a “nasty little boy”... do we think he’s projecting here? Boomslang Skin & Gillyweed: Snape’s stores have been broken into, but what evidence does Snape have that it was Harry? Did Harry effectively use Occlumency without even realizing it? Should Harry have challenged Snape to give him Veritaserum? What's up with Karkaroff's arm? Main Discussion #2: Cave Crouching Why is Sirius the only real parental figure that shows up for Harry? Oh, Peter! Sirius is eating rats? Do we think that’s a coincidence? Sirius paints a harrowing picture of the First War and Azkaban Prison Good People & Death Eaters: After Sirius reveals the true Barty Crouch Sr., we analyze Harry’s inclination to label him a Death Eater If Barty had spent some more time with his son, what would have happened? How is it possible during his time in Azkaban, Sirius never got confirmation Barty Crouch Jr. was a Death Eater, learned Snape was a Death Eater, heard of the Dark Mark tattoo? Ron jokingly solves everything at the end of the chapter! Odds & Ends cover Ludo Bagman, Bertha Jorkins and Second Task safety protocols! Quizzitch: What food does Harry send to Sirius in his cave, that Pigwidgeon isn’t suitable for?
