Potter Revisited Episode #96 Gaslighting AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 36 "The Parting of the Ways"

We are now a Fudge Hate podcast
After learning that Moody was actually Barty Crouch Jr and everything that happened to him, Harry still needs to sit with Dumbledore and tell him everything that happened
Despite it all, Harry does ask about Cedric's parents
Fawkes gives Harry the emotional support he needs, as well as Sirius
Harry feels immediate comfort with Fawkes around - is this due to the wand or, or is this just what Phoenixes do?
Fawkes is basically an emotional support animal at this point
Could Dumbledore just have gotten Harry's memories of the events instead of making him relive it?
Dumbledore keeps telling Harry he did beyond what was expected of him... but what was expected of him?
Dumbledore's "gleam of triumph" What does it mean?
We learn brother wands can't attack each other - what was Olivander doing making these wands in the first place?
Sirius is visibly shocked and upset about the ghostly apparitions of James and Lily - is he reliving his own trauma from their deaths?
Dumbledore does show Harry a lot of care in the aftermath, which is starkly different to how he treats Harry in OOTP
Dumbledore: "What matters isn't what someone is born but what they grow to be" - very interesting quote in regards to the series
Note: We do discuss the author's transphobic views in relation to this quote
Mini G comes in yelling at Fudge - good for her
Fudge came in and got rid of the "evidence" and then complains about the lack of evidence
Fudge gaslights everyone SO hard
Fudge shows the ugly side of his character with how he treats Harry and avoids responsibility to to see reason
Why is Fudge coming to question the suspect rather than a trained professional like an Aurror?
Fudge seems suspicious - the way he acted seems like he was in on a cover up
Cedric's parents deserve answers in how he died
Interesting when Harry names Lucius Malfoy as a Death Eater, Fudge brings up the fact that he is from an "old family" that donates a large amount of money, so he is obviously innocent - something we see a lot today
Snape shows Fudge and everyone around his dark mark - is this pretty brave of him?
Sirius reveals himself to everyone, and Snape realizes that Dumbledore has been gaslighting him for a year
It feels naïve the way Dumbledore tries to have Sirius and Snape burry the hatchet - he expected too much as they have too much history
Sirius and Snape leave to do their part of Dumbledore's master plan, and Mrs Weasley steps in to support Harry
Harry describes the hug he gets being like from a mother - which has so much emotional ties with everything he has been through
It is interesting how this chapter closes everything yet everything is not resolved and won't be going into OOTP - really a new beginning
Last chapter and wrap up for GOF coming soon!
Snape Sucks count for Chapter 36:0
