Summary
This week, Vanessa and Matt explore the theme of Service in Chapter Seven of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! They discuss muggle obliviation, Harry & Hermione's limited camping knowledge, and Percy/Weatherby's dedication to Barty Crouch Sr. Throughout the episode we consider the question: how do pay homage to that which is important to us, through our service?
Thank you to Grace for their voicemail! Next week we're reading Book 4 Chapter 8, The Quidditch World Cup, with special guest Jackson Bird (!!) through the theme of Nostalgia.
