The Quidditch World Cup is a security nightmare! (Are you really surprised?) This week, the MuggleCasters dive in (from no less a height than the Top Box) to discussion about rogue mascots and classism as we discuss Chapter 8 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, "The Quidditch World Cup."

Thanks to all who listen to our podcast on Spotify! You made our Wrapped something special.

Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Goblet of Fire, Chapter 8: The Quidditch World Cup
7-Word Summary: Athletes compete vigorously against their formidable opponents
Main Discussion #1: House-Elves return!
Harry thinks he sees Dobby. But how exactly does Winky know Dobby?
Are Dobby's ideas of being paid for his work too radical, or is Winky too conservative or downtrodden? And why is it a bad thing that Dobby remains free?
We also get a reunion of sorts between Lucius and Arthur. What is this chapter trying to tell us about class differences in the Wizarding World?
Main Discussion #2: The Veela are DANGEROUS!
Right after first seeing them, Harry almost jumps out of the Top Box! How are they allowed?
The Veela are of Slavic origin and may have roots in Greek myths; we explore.
Are the Veela more like modern cheerleaders in their purpose, or are they emblematic of something else?
Both team's mascots should be banned in the future, we consider.
Quizzitch: From which book does Hermione learn about Beauxbatons Academy of Magic?
Coming up in Bonus MuggleCast, we review the biggest events in fandom of 2023 and look ahead to 2024!
