#20 Dobby Will Eat Your Skin Off | CoS 2, Dobby’s Warning

Potter Revisited Episode #20 | Dobby Will Eat Your Skin Off Aka Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 2 "Dobby's Warning" We are finally introduced to House Elves in this chapter - which play a big role in the series, from Dobby, Winky and Kreacher, to Hermione's character development Shay finds Dobby's entrance stressful as this is the worst time for Harry to have his magical world invade his life with The Dursley's Why does Harry have such good manners?  Dobby tells Harry that Voldemort has powers that no decent Wizard would have - Shay wonders if Dobby is aware of the Horcurxes or at least the diary being a Horcrux Harry is the worst at taking compliments  What was Dobby's logic in stopping Harry's letters from being received?  Why was no adult concerned about Harry not responding? #WhyDumbledore Shay mentions it is a federal crime to tamper with someone's mail - would Dobby be sent to Azkaban, or is that a Wizard-Only prison?  Why doesn't Harry just lie to Dobby and say he won't go back to school?  We learn Pudding in the UK = Dessert  Harry receives a letter by owl from the Ministry to tell him off for using Magic in front of Muggles - yet this letter comes by magic, in front of said Muggles??  Is the Ministry not able to detect Magic done by a Wizard vs Magical Creature?  How did Vernon get someone to put bars on Harry's window? Wouldn't it be a fire safety issue? Wouldn't the neighbors talk?  Harry is literally being starved and imprisoned but won't use Magic to save his life because he is too scared to be kicked out of school. All the adults failed him When all the adults fail him, Ron to the rescue Shay says she hates Dobby at the beginning of the book, he causes just too much anxiety  Why did Dobby come to warn Harry?  Dobby is one of the most self-aware House Elves we meet in the series How do House Elves get tied to a family?  We touch a little on the slavery comparison of House Elves, and how the series shows us an outside perspective (Hermione) on how wrong it is, and the perspective of those who are just use to it being that way (Ron, ect) Right off the bat, Harry asks Dobby how he can free him - does he relate to Dobby having to be in a likely abusive household like himself? How does Dobby know about how great Harry and Dumbledore are? The Malfoy's aren't their biggest fans after all... Could Dobby have given Harry a bigger hint that this was a Voldemort plot?  Shay doesn't find Dobby very empathetic to Harry's situation Tori shares the context behind the episode title - involving Potter Puppet Pals We are looking forward to jumping back into the Magical World next chapter and exploring The Burrow!
