- In Chapter 3 of Goblet of Fire, Dudley and the Dursleys begin a diet, and Harry is invited to the Quidditch World Cup by the Weasleys.
- Today’s prompt is: There is a trope in literature of associating weight with moral goodness. In this chapter, Dudley (whose size is continually ridiculed) is on a diet while Harry relishes in secretly eating cake for breakfast.
