As we head into chapter 31 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – The Third Task, there is a lot going on! Harry is preparing for the third task and learning new spells: the impediment curse, the reductor curse and the four point spell. Protego (sort of). During the third task, your family is allowed to come and show support, but surley the Dursley’s wont show up?! NO! The Weasleys are there to...

The plot thickens, with finding out Karkaroff used to be a death eater. But then it goes deeper. Why is Neville living with his Grandma? And how did Harry Potter not know! We hear how devastating the Cruciatus Curse can be. It is truly heartbreaking. It is a fate worse than death. But can it be compared to the Dementor’s kiss? Most of the chapter we find out so much information from inside the pen...

In Chapter 29 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire, The Dream. Ron is beginning his process of trying to fit in with his trio and putting his memory loss on display. This is one of the first times, I believe that Snape is outright accused of being an Animagus (bat). Harry has yet another dream similar tohis dream in chapter one of this book. Except this time, he in in Divination with Professor T...

Barty Crouch vanishes, Hermione gets hit with hate mail, and we finally learn what the Triwizard Tournament’s third task will be: a hedge maze packed with magical obstacles, creatures, and serious danger. We break down Chapter 28: The Madness of Mr. Crouch from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire—and this one changes everything. We start with Winky and a painfully awkward conversation about house-...

Chapter 27 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Padfoot Returns, starts digging deeper into what is building up in the Wizarding World. The chapter is great because now we are really starting to get the little bits of information that begin to tie things in. We learn that Percy is very ambitious when it comes to his job. That is just a 1 liner that tells you a lot about Percy. Then we learn th...

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire chapter 26 – The second Task, we have some questions regarding Harry’s, and for that matter, Viktor Krum’s and Cedric Diggory’s status as wizards, when they choose to use means other than a wand to free Ron, Hermione, Cho, and Gabrielle. The choices they picked were, teeth, knife, and rock. We gotta say, if this tournament tests their intelligence, they have...

In chapter 25 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Egg and The Eye, Harry Potter finally takes a bath. Thanks for the advice, Cedric (eye roll). We found out Moaning Myrtle has been spying on the boys in the prefect bathroom. But it’s a good thing she was in there, because she gave him a nudge in the right direction and he figured out the clue. But we run into a lot of issues with this chap...

September 1st is such an important time of the year for the Wizarding community. Because that is the day Harry Potter boarded the Hogwarts Express for the very first time and took us all to Hogwarts. But now, it is our turn! This year is promised to be full of exciting news. Probably the most anticipated is another look at the new HBO Harry Potter series! But today we have a very special guest! My...

In the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 24: “Rita Skeeter’s Scoop, ” Rita’s “hit” piece on Hagrid turns this chapter into a full-blown reckoning. This chapter gets vulnerable with Hagrid. This TMZ style article twists Hagrid’s background, teaching, and friendship with Harry into public spectacle. There is a real big prejudice behind Rita Skeeter’s story. But Jk Rowlinig does such a good job showing the rea...

You heard it here! Rupert Grint is stepping back in the spotlight! This time in the Broadway spotlight, as RON WEASLEY! Thats right.

The Nicholas Holt casting of Gildeory Lockhart is officially REDACED as of today! That’s right, this is breaking as of today. Nicholas holt had dropped out of the HBO Harry Potter Series stating scheduling conflicts do pre existing commitments such as the DC Superman Sequel Man of Tomorrow. As Rumors do though, they are spreading like wildfire, guessing that the real reason he dropped out was to p...

In chapter 23 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Yule Ball, there is a lot going on. First and foremost, there is a ball, with not a lot of dancing from Ron or Harry. But the big picture for this chapter in our opinion is, at first glance, this seems like a throw away chapter. But there is a lot of foreshadowing inside this chapter. There's a mention of a beetle, a room that isn’t always...

There has been a new member added to the cast of the HBO Harry Potter Series! British actor, 36 year old Nicholas Hoult has been cast as Gildeory Lockhart! Plus, was there a Marauders map series that was scrapped? squibscorner@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/squibscorner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/...

“Wangoballwime?” In our review of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, chapter 22 The Unexpected Task, we find out that Harry and Ron at horrible at finding dated to the Yule Ball. But honestly, this chapter is so relatable! J.K. Rowling did such a good job of bring us all back to our High School dances. The nervousness, butterflies, panics, pacts, getting the courage to ask someone to the dance....

We had some help reviewing chapter 21 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The House Elf Liberation from Ash Builds Magic! The best part is? This is her favorite Chapter! She even has the first page in a frame! If anything was meant to be, it was this chapter review. A lot of good questions are brought up. How did Dobby find Winky? How do the House Elves have families? How do the House Elves ha...

In chapter 20 of the Goblet of Fire, The First Task we can easily say this chapter leaves a lot to be desired. Now, remember, this is a story from Harry Potter's POV. That being said, this is also a book. So let's go ahead in add in needed details. And if that isn’t enough, there is a HUGE hole is the story. A plot hole if you will. Or it could be that every Champion overlooked this. 7 Chapter not...

Today we review chapter 19 of Goblet of Fire, The Hungarian Horntail, where Harry’s dealing with stress, Ron’s being a git, Rita Skeeter is stirring up drama, and the first task turns out to involve dragons. We talk through the big moments, the wild loopholes, and the little details that make this chapter so fun to unpack. 7 Chapter Noteables 1. I thought you were talented 2. What are you even doi...

Let's step in to chapter 18 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire, The Weighing of the Wands! This is a funny, fast Harry Potter deep dive into Goblet of Fire drama, Rita Skeeter, Dumbledore’s judgment, and the not-so-weighing of the wands. We break down the chapter, share wild theories, and argue about what really happened. 7 Chapter Notables 1. Ron is officially a Git. 2. Hermione, Harry’s firs...

Now that we have made it to chapter 17 of the Goblet ofFire, The Four champions, we find out that Dumbledore either can’t read a room,or just simply can't be bothered.   This chapter is, we believe, the first argumentative chapterof the series. Meaning, this chapter is full of back-and-forth dialog in an argumentative fashion, that works.   And instead of Ron and Hermione being the 2 that go at it...

The Goblet of Fire is here! Which means that it is time to start the Triwizard Tournament! Chapter 16 of the Goblet of Fire is also… the Goblet of Fire. This is a long chapter. But does It stand up to the challenge of a successful review? Well, not really. This chapter, although we are introduced to the Champions, get a small teaser of Durmstrand and Beauxbatons, see Hermione’s sassiness, get intr...
