Summary

Grab your House-themed pennants and something to do for an hour, because today we’re heading down to the Black Lake and celebrating a Triwizard Task that nobody above ground can see or appreciate! Join Eric, Laura, Micah and special guest Chloé as they discuss Chapter 26 of Goblet of Fire, “The Second Task.” Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Goblet of Fire, Chapter 26: The Second Task 7-Word Summary: The merpeople mock Harry incessantly under water Main Discussion #1: Leading up to the task Hagrid’s back teaching. Do we miss Professor Grubbly-Plank? Could Harry be reaching out to Lupin or other folks for help? Have we ever overslept on the day of an exam and had to wing it? Main Discussion #2: The Task and Immediate Aftermath Why are the other headmasters so visibly annoyed at Harry? Could they tone it down a bit? What does the Second Task look like, for the audience and spectators? Even Dumbledore has to ask the merpeople what happened at the end of it. Micah’s Hot Take: Hermione is not meaningful enough to Krum for her to be his hostage. The hosts debate: were the ‘hostages’ ever really in danger? We also polled our Patrons... twice. Are we disappointed by the writing’s handling of Fleur’s performance? Do we agree with the final results of the Second Task? Odds and Ends touches on a Skeeter sighting, and another mention of their school hats! Quizzitch: Who authorized Aurors to use the Unforgivable Curses during the first Wizarding war?
