- 7-Word Summary: Athletes compete vigorously against their formidable opponents
- Main Discussion #1: House-Elves return!
- Harry thinks he sees Dobby. But how exactly does Winky know Dobby?
- Are Dobby's ideas of being paid for his work too radical, or is Winky too conservative or downtrodden? And why is it a bad thing that Dobby remains free?
- We also get a reunion of sorts between Lucius and Arthur. What is this chapter trying to tell us about class differences in the Wizarding World?
- Main Discussion #2: The Veela are DANGEROUS!
- Right after first seeing them, Harry almost jumps out of the Top Box! How are they allowed?
- The Veela are of Slavic origin and may have roots in Greek myths; we explore.
- Are the Veela more like modern cheerleaders in their purpose, or are they emblematic of something else?
- Both team's mascots should be banned in the future, we consider.
- Quizzitch: From which book does Hermione learn about Beauxbatons Academy of Magic?
- Coming up in Bonus MuggleCast, we review the biggest events in fandom of 2023 and look ahead to 2024!
