#81 Barmy Old Codger | GoF 21, The House-Elf Liberation Front

Potter Revisited Episode #81 Barmy Old Codger AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 21 "The House-Elf Liberation Front" Ron is acting super enthusiastic to make it up to Harry - something he also does in DH Love that Harry gave Sirius a full play-by-play on the first task  Ron just spoils Harry's surprise party and no one says anything?  How do the other houses throw parties? Dean is the only one that really has a hobby  Harry opens the egg and Neville thinks it's the cruciatus curse - lots of foreshadowing hints about Neville's past and also Harry does have the curse used on him later on  Fred and George's canary creams are such advanced magic  Hermione trying to manipulate F&G to tell her about the kitchens is fun  Are the students getting drunk off the whisky fumes Hagrid set out for the Beauxbaton horses?  How is Rita able to just get onto the grounds when she was banned? This is a school! How does Hogwarts monitor visitors?  Should Harry just told Hagrid to not do anything with Rita even if it was rude? Dobby is at Hogwarts!  Its very cool seeing Dobby again and how he is handling being a free elf, compared to Winky who is miserable  Winky let's slip that Crouch thinks Bagman is a bad wizard - we are getting lot of different hints about potential "bad guys" that through us off the real villain of this book  Ron offers Dobby his christmas jumper - but wouldn't Mrs Weasley just make Dobby his own sweater if asked? We as Canadians try and figure out how pies fit in pockets  Percy is ragged on a lot in this chapter for not being able to take a joke / being a stick in the mud. He isn't even present!  It is interesting seeing how the other House Elves seem wary of Dobby  Has the SPEW plot aged well? It does get hard to read Hermione constantly being put down by everyone despite being right Snape Sucks total for Chapter 21: 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
