S4E5 - The Unease Before the Tournament (GoF Ch. 11 & 12)

The Goblet of Fire doesn’t ease us back into Hogwarts — it warns us. In Chapters 11 and 12, the wizarding world already feels tense before the train even leaves the station. A name like Mad-Eye Moody is whispered with unease. Rules are changing. Power feels closer. And Hogwarts, for the first time, doesn’t feel entirely safe. From a chaotic journey aboard the Hogwarts Express to a storm-soaked feast that changes the entire school year, this episode covers the moment the series stops pretending things are simple. The Triwizard Tournament is announced, Quidditch is canceled, and danger finally walks through the Great Hall under its own power. This is where Goblet of Fire truly begins — not with a task, but with a choice. 🪄 Next up: Mad-Eye Moody, in full focus. 🔮 Join the Magic Muggle community on Discord (link below) and tag yourself with Magic Muggle to get episode updates, discussion threads, and future live-stream events. 👉 https://discord.com/invite/DckvDCA9NS Linktree Thoughts/theories?
