I think this is where everything turns down the dark road. The conversation with Sirius about Barty Crouch Snr is the turning point. And of course, the next chapter, the madness of Mr Crouch. Here comes the dark side. This is the point that really hooks me (don’t worry I am concerned for my soul too 😆)

I love when Hermione is banging on Hagrid’s door like a wild beast yelling at him to stop hiding and the way she immidiately falls dead quiet when Dumbledore is the one who opens it.

Something small hurtled towards him from the middle of the room, squealing, ‘Harry Potter, sir! Harry Potter!’
Next second all the wind had been knocked out of him as the squealing elf him hard in the midriff, hugging him so tightly he thought his ribs would break.
‘D-Dobby?’ Harry gasped.

Dumbledore asked calmly.

That is all

‘Somebody slap the referee!’
Too funny 🤣

This is the turning point of Rowlings writing. You can start to feel her build the story now. The first three generally started the same, even on the same date more or less. This one the depth comes.
