Dance like everybody's watching, love like you've exclusively been hurt, sing like Rita Skeeter's listening, live like it's Voldemort's rebirth. You're listening to the Quiddler podcast, the Harry Potter Book Club for inspirational speakers. Victor, hasn't he asked you to call him Vicky yet?

He's from Dermstrang.

He's competing against Harry, against Hogwarts.

You, you're fraternising with the enemy.

That's what you're doing.

Well, if you don't like it, you know what the solution is, don't you?

Oh yeah! What's that? Next time there's a ball, ask me before someone

else does and not as a last resort. Well, well, that just proves, completely missed the point.

I'm Heather Pricewright. And I'm Alex Dellenberg. Welcome, welcome. We are as essentially always and forever,

reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. And this week's chapters that we are reading are the

Yule Ball and Rita Skeeter's Scoop. Um,ing, spoilers, you guys know the drill.

Before I do the adult themes, I do want to call out that several of you thought that

Alex's comment about turning the rock in the first task into a quote, real doggo.

No, a real good boy was like one of the most important observations

of the quibbler so far so i just want to shout out that you guys responded really strongly to

transfigured rock dogo.

I should write a fan fiction from the rock turned dog's perspective.

I would 100% read that.

I think lots of people would.

The dog who lived.

The dog who lived, albeit briefly.

It just blinks into existence.
