Summary
Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of beauty in chapter seven of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This week, we discuss Mr. Weasley's exoticization of muggles, Harry's generosity towards Ron, and why Fred and George gamble their whole life savings. Our question this week is: Can you disentangle beautiful things from the sometimes ugly situations (and people) that create them?
Our voicemail this week is thanks to Emily Pickens. Next week we're reading chapter eight, The Quidditch World Cup, through the theme of fandom.

| 1:20.4 | Chapter 7. Bagman and Crouch. Harry disentangled himself from Ron and got to his feet. They had arrived on what appeared to be a deserted stretch of Mistymore. |
| 1:32.8 | In front of them was a pair of tired and grumpy looking wizards, one of whom was holding a large gold watch. |
| 1:39.5 | I'm Casper Turquil. And I'm Vanessa Zoltan. And this is Harry Potter and the Secret Text. |
| 1:45.8 | Vanessa, a couple of weeks ago, you offered a challenge to anyone who could write an iTunes review for the show involving the word Tiger. |
| 1:53.5 | And I thought it was a terrible idea, but I was so wrong because oh my god, some of the Tiger references that people worked in. |
| 2:01.8 | And I should give a special shout out to Wind Cry's Amy, positively forethist Veronica T, CMR underscore OH and Lisa Lynn Kin, because there were some real winners. |

| 2:16.8 | Like the 32nd recap was like an I of the Tiger, like Rocky theme warm up song. |
| 2:21.6 | Yeah, there was something about enjoying the podcast with their Tiger mom. These were like really sophisticated uses. |
