#66 Nauseating Wizard Travel | GoF 6, The Portkey

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 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to [email protected] 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/ Links:  The Trevor Project https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ Trans Lifeline https://translifeline.org/hotline/ 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
