Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire: Review & Evaluation Part 2 (Chapter 9-Chapter 14)

"Where're your parents?" said Harry, his temper rising. "Out there wearing masks, are they?" Malfoy turned his face to Harry, still smiling. "Well... if they were, I wouldn't be likely to tell you, would I, Potter?" Glad to have you back with us here at Fact or Fantasy for our next installment covering Chapters 9 through Chapter 14 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! Today we will be tackling some crucial moments including the Death Eaters attack following the Quidditch World Cup, the Dark Mark appearing in the sky for the first time in 13 years, the arrival of a new teacher at Hogwarts and Sirius finally returning Harry's letter which leads to complications of its own. If this book is one thing, its action packed and the Riddikulus Crew is excited to break it down and unravel all the mysteries. With Winky found holding Harry's wand, Hermione initiating the first social justice project we se in this series in S.P.E.W, the announcement of the Triwizard Tournament and an auspicious demonstration of the Unforgivable Curses, you will not be disappointed. In the words of Albus Dumbledore, "There have been several attempts over the centuries to reinstate the tournament," Dumbledore continued, "none of which has been very successful. However, our own departments of International Magical Cooperation and Magical Games and Sports have decided the time is ripe for another attempt. We have worked hard over the summer to ensure that this time, no champion will find himself or herself in mortal danger."

Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire: Review & Evaluation Part 1 (Beginning-Chapter 8)

"Come, Wormtail, one more death and our path to Harry Potter is clear. I am not asking you to do it alone. By that time, my faithful servant will have rejoined us." - Lord Voldemort. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now entering the deep waters of the Harry Potter franchise. The Riddikulus Crew launch into Book 4, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! There are so many key points and a ton of detail in this installment that truly set the foundation for where the series goes from here. A ton of fresh ideas from the author J.K. Rowling, with some new events that are exclusive to this novel, makes it one of the very best. Creepy events at the Riddle House, Harry's scar hurting, Portkeys, Veela, Leprechauns & the Quidditch World Cup are just a few of the action packed moments you'll catch in this episode, so join us here at Fact or Fantasy as we continue through one of Fantasy Fiction's top franchises! With Nagini making her first appearance, Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes, the Twins initiating a fateful bet, Winky the house-elf doing her master's bidding, and Viktor Krum's skill on a broom, this episode is a can't miss! In the words of Percy Weasley, " We've got quite enough on our plates at the Department of International Magical Cooperation without trying to find members of other departments too. As you know, we've got another big event to organize right after the World Cup."

Prisoner of Azkaban: Highlighted Key Differences Between the Novel & Film

"Harry," said Mr. Weasley quietly, "come over here a moment." He jerked his head toward a pillar, and Harry followed him behind it, leaving the others crowded around Mrs. Weasley. "There's something I've got to tell you before you leave ----" said Mr. Weasley, in a tense voice. " It's alright Mr. Weasley," said Harry. "I already know." "You know? How could you know?" "I ---- er ---- I heard you and Mrs Weasley talking last night. I couldn't help hearing," Harry added quickly. "Sorry ----" Today is the day the Riddikulus Crew gives The Prisoner of Azkaban its farewell for the arc. We close out this installment of the Harry Potter series by highlighting some of the major key differences between the novel and the film. From the blowing up of Aunt Marge, to the dog seen in Magnolia Crescent, to Harry's time at the Leaky Cauldron before the start of the Hogwarts School year, there are so many removed moments that made the story what it was. With the acutely detailed examination that you've come to expect from Chase & Josh, we detail both major and minor variations that stuck out to us. Covering some alterations that really changed the story, huge events that were plainly omitted and the very few times the film added a unique deviations that enhanced the film, tag along as we close out Book 3 in this 7-Book series. You may be surprised just how different the film and novel are once we provide evidence such as the Quidditch Cup Final, omission of important characters, Harry's first Hogsmeade experience, the Firebolt and entering the Whomping Willow just to name a few! In the words of ALBUS DUMBLEDORE, "Didn't make any difference?" said Dumbledore quietly. "It made all the difference in the world, Harry. You helped uncover the truth. You saved an innocent man from a terrible fate." (Page 425)

"Precisely," Said Professor McGonagall. "Black and Potter. Ringleaders of their little gang. Both very bright, of course -------- exceptionally bright, in fact -------- but I don't think we've ever had such a pair of troublemakers --------" "I dunno," chuckled Hagrid. "Fred and George Weasley could give 'em a run for their money." The Riddikulus Crew is back in your eyes and ears as we proceed through the next portion of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban's review and evaluation here at Fact or Fantasy.

In the words of Professor Lupin regarding the manufacturer's of the Marauder's Map, "These mapmakers would have wanted to lure you out of the school. They'd think it extremely entertaining." "Do you know them?" said Harry, impressed. "We've met," he said shortly.
