#68 He Caught The Snitch but Dropped the Ball | GoF 8, The Quidditch World Cup

Potter Revisited Episode #67 Conspicuous Wizard Camping AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 7 "Bagman and Crouch" We are finally at the world cup!  The atmosphere at the beginning of the chapter really nails how it feels to go to a live sporting event Love the Ads - adds a great touch We are introduced to Winky the House elf - who is the opposite of Dobby  Percy is being super embarrassing in his attempt to make connections   Interesting how Fudge interacts with Harry in the top box, knowing how things change as soon as Harry isn't politically useful We are introduced to Narcissa when the Malfoys arrive  Should the Veela be described as creatures? It feels wrong as they are at least humanoid Are the Veela a liability? Is it lucky that no one actually jumped into the stadium like Harry was thinking Do Veela only affect men or is it attraction-based? It's interesting that this is Harry's first time really watching Quidditch - and professional level quidditch at that  The Ref getting caught up by the Veela's - we would leave the country if this was us Interesting Hermione's view of Krum changes when he does something she thinks is brave Shay brings up her issues with the fact that Krum catches the snitch even though his team is behind in points Was it done to stress the point that catching the snitch isn't a guaranteed win?  How were the twins able to predict the win?  We discuss how this chapter was barely touched on in the movie  Snape Sucks total for Chapter 8: 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/ 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
