90: Awkward Stage Potter

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

In the summer of 2000 J.K. Rowling delighted her fans by releasing the longest book in the Harry Potter series to date, which meant as the films reached the fourth installment, a lot of choices had to be made as to what they could leave out and still tell the story well.

In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by fellow Muggle Megan Calcote to talk about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. We discuss being back at Hogwarts, new character, a bigger world, the looming threat, old magic vs. brute strength, the music and our ratings.
