In what is possibly the most pivotal chapter of the entire Harry Potter series, Alice and Martha fully eulogize Cedric and reflect on the life that was taken from us too soon. Wormtail follows a recipe moste evile to resurrect his master, and sadly, “it” doesn’t drown.

4.28 The Madness of Mr. Crouch

4.28 The Madness of Mr. Crouch

This chapter art may not be Alice’s favorite, but the chapter makes up for it with opportunities for plenty of Dobby and Winky impressions, discussions of Ron’s problem with Hermione’s social activism, and the symbolism of Barty Crouch, Sr. Plus, Harry is super awkward with Krum and Snape trolls Harry pretty hard, so what’s not… Read more
