Hogwarts becomes a global stage in Chapters 15 and 16 of Goblet of Fire.

Beauxbatons and Durmstrang arrive with completely different energy, the Ministry takes formal control of the Triwizard Tournament, and the Goblet of Fire is introduced as an impartial selector — one that creates a binding magical contract.

We revisit Moody’s Imperius Curse lesson and what it reveals about Harry’s true strength. Not flashy spellwork — but resistance.

Then the champions are chosen.

Viktor Krum.Fleur Delacour.Cedric Diggory.

And then the Goblet flares again.

A fourth name changes everything.

This is the moment the tournament stops feeling exciting… and starts feeling dangerous.

Next episode: the fallout.

Chapter 14 of Goblet of Fire isn’t about the Triwizard Tournament.

It’s about something far more dangerous.

In this episode, we break down the introduction of the three Unforgivable Curses — Imperius, Cruciatus, and Avada Kedavra — and what they reveal about the moral boundaries of the wizarding world.

For the first time in the series, magic stops feeling whimsical and starts feeling weaponized.

We explore Neville’s haunting reaction in class, Harry’s confrontation with the Killing Curse that took his parents, and the quiet dormitory moment that may be louder than the green flash itself.

What does it mean that Avada Kedavra has no countercurse?

And is dark magic truly “free”… or does it demand something from the wizard who casts it?

Next week: Chapters 15 and 16 — the arrival of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and the Goblet chooses its champions.

Today on Magic Muggle, we’re slowing down.

For the first time, we’re dedicating an entire episode to a single chapter — Chapter 13 of Goblet of Fire, “Mad-Eye Moody.” Not because the chapter is small, but because it’s dense.

This isn’t just the introduction of a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. This is the moment Hogwarts stops pretending the world is safe.

From lingering unease after the storm, to dangerous lessons disguised as routine, to public humiliation turning into public consequence, this chapter quietly reshapes the rules of the story. Mad-Eye Moody doesn’t teach comfort — he teaches survival.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why Goblet of Fire rewards patience over speed
• Danger repurposed as “education”
• The difference between performance and earned fear
• And why Moody’s arrival permanently shifts the tone of the series

Sometimes the most important chapters aren’t loud — they’re heavy.
