- 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. What role does the juxtaposition of these two characters, their sizes, and their personalities play in perpetuating or subverting that trope?
