<div>The Quidditch World Cup is a security nightmare! (Are you really surprised?) This week, the MuggleCasters dive in (from no less a height than the Top Box) to discussion about rogue mascots and classism as we discuss Chapter 8 of <em>Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire</em>, "The Quidditch World Cup."

<li>7-Word Summary: Athletes compete vigorously against their formidable opponents</li>
<li>Main Discussion #1: House-Elves return!</li>
<li>Harry thinks he sees Dobby. But how exactly does <em>Winky</em> know Dobby?</li>
<li>Are Dobby's ideas of being paid for his work too radical, or is Winky too conservative or downtrodden? And why is it a bad thing that Dobby remains free?</li>
<li>We also get a reunion of sorts between Lucius and Arthur. What is this chapter trying to tell us about class differences in the Wizarding World?</li>
<li>Main Discussion #2: The Veela are DANGEROUS!</li>
<li>Right after first seeing them, Harry almost jumps out of the Top Box! How are they allowed?</li>
<li>The Veela are of Slavic origin and may have roots in Greek myths; we explore.</li>
<li>Are the Veela more like modern cheerleaders in their purpose, or are they emblematic of something else?</li>
<li>Both team's mascots should be banned in the future, we consider.</li>
<li>Quizzitch: From which book does Hermione learn about Beauxbatons Academy of Magic?</li>
