Potter Revisited

Potter Revisited Episode #84 Hearsay & Slander AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 24 "Rita Skeeter's Scoop"

• Just like in this chapter, we are over the Christmas holidays
• Hermione used SleekEasy for her hair - which is where Harry's fortune comes from
• Hermione is so unfazed by Hagrid being a half-giant
• Hermione and Ron are acting overly polite to each other - definitely not discussing their fight
• Harry is facing the consequences for his procrastination - the 2nd task is coming up
• Harry is so petty, not wanting to use Cedric's advice for the egg clue
• We are introduced to Professor Grubbly-Plank
• Malfoy saved this article just to ruin Harry's day - Malfoy is such a Twitter guy
• The interview Hagrid gave to Rita is out - but it definitely isn't the interview he gave
• This is 100% slander and Hagrid should sue
• The Article reveals Hagrid as a Half-Giant and how he is a vicious, terrible person/teacher.
• The article is really prejudice and reminds us of the terrible tabloid media in the 90s - especially in the UK
• It is nice for the students to get an actual proper lesson for once
• The trio see Viktor swimming in the lake - does he have the egg figured out and is scoping out the lake?
• Hermione is trying to talk Krum up but Ron just wants him to be eaten by the Giant Squid
• Bagman is hanging out at the Three Broomsticks - does he ever work?
• We learn that Mr Crouch is ill and Percy is filling in - shouldn't this have been a red flag for the Ministry?
• Bagman offers Harry help again and Harry brings up Cedric - we love Harry being so honest and a good sport
• Interesting how Rita speaks with Harry despite him calling her out in front of the whole bar compared to how she speaks to Hermione - Harry is someone as note whereas Hermione isn't anyone important to her
• Rita should be more scared of Hermione
• Hermione is fired up and marches down to Hagrid's to get him to come back and ends up face to face with Dumbledore - this would have been such a great scene for the films
• Dumbledore seems to be a good friend to Hagrid here
• Alberforth is mentioned by Dumbledore - does the way Dumbledore refers to him come off as elitist?
• "I don't trust goats" - Tori
• Its nice to see Hagrid voice the similarities between himself and Harry - they have a very weird relationship but it's very sweet at the same time
• Harry decides he has to figure out the egg clue because he can't let Hagrid down
• Harry should be suing people all the time
• If Hermione killed Rita as a bug would it be murder?
• If you die in Anamagius form, would you stay like that? Let us know what you think!
• Snape Sucks total for Chapter 24: 0
