‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,’ Ch. 27-30

Mallory Rubin and Jason Concepcion continue their journey through the Potterverse by examining the theme of secrets of the past

Hello! (Yeah!) And welcome to Binge Mode! Mallory Rubin and Jason Concepcion continue their exploration of the Harry Potter universe by diving deep into Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, chapters 27-30. To help guide you on that journey, here is a map of the 21st episode of Binge Mode: Harry Potter. It’s not quite as detailed as the Marauder’s Map, but don’t fear: The podcast is just as magical.

  1. Mallory and Jason start their journey, of course, on the Hogwarts Express, providing a brief refresher on what actually happened in these four chapters. Harry learns a tremendous amount of new information: from Sirius, from a dream, and from Dumbledore’s Pensieve.
  2. They continue by diving into the Pensieve, where they analyze the central theme of this section of the book: secrets of the past.
  3. Next, they sneak into the Restricted Section to teach us everything we need to know about the Pensieve.
  4. After reemerging from that section of the library, Mallory and Jason discuss the Seven, where they share their seven favorite insights and observations from this swath of chapters.
  5. Finally, they award the House Cup to a worthy winner of the four chapters.

On Tuesday, Mallory and Jason return for Episode 22 of Binge Mode: Harry Potter, in which they will break down chapters 31-34 of Goblet of Fire.
