Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: The Medium Project #043
🎧 Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
Re-releasing the Harry Potter Medium Project series we originally released on our other channel onto this one.
In this episode, Sarah and Josh discuss the adaptation of Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.
Listen in to hear Sarah and Josh lament the omission of Winky, butcher the pronunciation of Ralph Fiennes’s name (we’re so sorry!!), and have a rare moment of strong agreement about how incredible the graveyard scene is on the page and in the picture.
They discuss the differences between the book and its movie adaptation, sharing personal experiences and insights. Key topics include the portrayal of major characters, the missing house-elves, Voldemort's return, and the Quidditch World Cup. They also introduce fun segments like 'Hermione Haymaker' and debate the best and worst cast members.
