Does Goblet of Fire feel like a rushed book? And more MuggleMail

Published: May 7, 2024, 9 a.m.

This week, we revisit the ever-exciting MuggleMail bag and listen to your voicemails on all things Goblet of Fire. The debate about Cedric's clue to Harry rages on, and listeners have opinions on everything from House-Elf rights to defending Ron Weasley's youth.\n\nVoicemails cover House-Elf evolution, Cedric's clue, judges at professional sporting events, and Barty Crouch, Sr.\n\nThe Hungarian Horntail may NOT have been the last addition to the First Task, multiple listeners posit.\n\nQuidditch could easily have fit in between the 3 year-long tasks, couldn't it?\n\nOne listener defends Ron Weasley's recent actions on the basis of his youth. Do we let him off the hook?\n\nDo Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students have classes with Hogwarts professors?\n\nWorking backwards from the Portkey, does the plot of Book 4 even work?\n\nDo Aurors have the same damage to their souls as Death Eaters if they both kill to survive?\n\nFeminism in Harry Potter has some pitfalls from the onset, one listener opines.\n\nWhat did Sirius Black's family members think upon receiving word of his incarceration?\n\nThe hosts take turns choosing one wizarding profession that they would have in the Wizarding world.\n\nQuizzitch: Where specifically does Moaning Myrtle mention haunting Olive Hornby?\n\nThis week's episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
