- Never order an Espresso Martini (or any drink) from the Hog's Head

- It's good for Hermione's development and growth
- Morally Grey Hermione does not tell anyone she has cursed the parchment she has them sign as a fallback security measure and we love this side of her
- Hermione drops that Ginny has a boyfriend - good for her
- We love seeing evidence that Ginny and Hermione have their own separate friendship and share things they don't with Harry and Ron

- Umbridge is evaluating Trelawney in Divination and it does not go well

- Hermione has read the entire DADA textbook and tells Umbridge she does not agree with the overall thesis and Umbridge hates critical thinking

Potter Revisited Episode #112 Parentified Children and Emotionally Stunted Adults AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 14 "Percy and Padfoot"
- Everyone needs therapy in this series
- Harry and Cho finally are able to have a moment
- Harry's conversation with Cho is so important for his survivor's guilt
- Filch trying to read Harry's mail is shady and we know Umbridge is behind it
- Tori and Shay debate who Cho had feelings for first - Harry or Cedric
- Sirius has been outed as being in London - he really has no regard for his safety and how much Harry worries about it
- It would of been nice if Fred and George could of been more encouraging to Ron at his first Quidditch practice, knowing how insecure he is
- Draco and co have nothing better to do with their time so they crash the Gryffindor practice
- Percy's owl shows up in the Gryffindor common room - a bad omen?
- Percy's letter to Ron... is not great
- It's nice that Percy wants to congratuate Ron on being Prefect, but then doubling down on cutting out Harry...
- Was Percy persuaded to write this letter, as he urges Ron to confide in Umbridge about Harry
- Percy glosses over the estrangement with his family in this letter quite a bit
- It's got to be so hard for Harry to see this as Percy was someone he was close to for four years prior to this

- Fudge thinks that Dumbledore is training students for combat against the Ministry - is this dumb?
- Sirius has no regard for his safety or how much Harry and co worry about him - planning to turn up in Hogsmede??
- Sirius saying that Harry isn't like his father feels like such a low blow and immature for Sirius
- Does Sirius have an idealized version of James he remembers? We think married, father James in wartime was a lot more responsible that teenage James
- Harry really has to parent Sirius which is so annoying.
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 14: 0
- Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 14: 2

Potter Revisited Episode #111 Needlework AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 13 "Detention with Dolores"
- Poor Harry, he has no safe space at the moment
- The propaganda machine is awful
- Hermione is right, how could Dumbledore let this happen?
- The concept of the Ministry restricting students performing magic that they need to practically demonstrate for their OWLs is so dumb
- Fred and George have gone ahead testing their products on students, and Ron is but in a difficult position as prefect
- Hermione threatening the twins with their biggest weakness: telling their mother
- Hermione leaves out handknit hats for the House Elves, putting trash on top in the hopes to free time - we get her intent but it isn't very ethical to trick them
- Could House Elves even be freed this way?
- This doesn't mean Ron should make fun of her knitting attempts! It's a process!
- The professors pushing how important their OWL exams are feels familiar to how High School teachers spoke about how serious University and College would be
- Minne G gives the students a very nice pep talk, where they could all get an O in Transfiguration if they work hard and have confidence in themselves - even Neville!
- Shay thinks they are exaggerating how much homework they have
- Grubbly-Plank is such a great teacher... sorry Hagrid
- Shay does not understand how the points system works at Hogwarts
- Harry needs to stop annoying Grubbly-Plank about Hagrid
- Luna lets Harry know he has her support, and Hermione picks a fight with her
- Why does Luna rub Hermione the wrong way?
- Angelina is channeling Oliver's intensity about Quidditch, we love that for her
- Angelina does not care Harry is being gaslight about Umbridge, she has the team to think about!
- Harry's detention with Umbridge is... a lot
- Psychological and physical torture to a minor in your care? Jail!!!!
- Harry does not have parents or an adequate guardian who can advocate for him, which Umbridge knows and takes advantage of
- If this happened to one of the Weasley kids, Molly would be walking up to the school to commit a crime
- Ron has made the Gryffindor Quidditch team! It's such a shame how insecure he is and how it affects his performance
- It's actually great that Angelina focused on picking not the best player, but the player she felt would mesh with the current team the best
- Harry doesn't tell Ron and Hermione what really happened during his detention, which is a shame
- Harry feels that Dumbledore only cares about his scar... which is probably true
- When Umbridge touches Harry, his scar hurts and he wants to talk to someone about this but feels like he can't
- Harry's support system is really being cut off
- Shay thinks a lot of this chapter is connected to needlework
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 13: 0

Potter Revisited Episode #110 Have a Biscuit AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 12 "Professor Umbridge"
- Harry is not coping well with his peers thinking he is a liar, and is taking it out on Ron and Hermione
- The Twins are advertising for product testers which seems like a bit of a red flag
- Angelina Johnson is the new Griffindor Quidditch Captain - we love women in power
- It is smart for the twins to conduct some kind of market research and not just focus on what they like
- Being dormmates with the twins seems dangerous
- The Twins debated leaving school before their last year - is this something they could actually do?
- Ron and Harry think being an Aurror would be cool but Hermione is considering what she could do with SPEW after Hogwarts
- It is crazy that they need to consider their futures at 15
- Cho approaches Harry but Ron ruins their moment by confronting her about her Quidditch Team
- Harry tries his best to make his potion but Snape won't even let him turn it in despite it not even being the worst in the class - +1 Snape Sucks point
- Potions seems very similar to baking - everything needs to be very exact
- Shay wonders if Snape is being harder on Harry now to prepare him for what is to come. Tori thinks he's just a dick
- Dream analysis would be cool to learn, Harry and Ron are haters
- The trio attend the first DADA lesson with Umbridge, and she treats the class like they are a lot younger and comes off very condescending
- What are Umbridge's qualifications for teaching anyway? The other professors seem to have some real life experience or expertise in their fields
- Umbridge reveals the new course aims, and they kids are not going to be learning defensive magic, only the theory
- Having students use class time to read a textbook is such a waste of time
- When the students complain about not being taught magic (valid), Umbridge decides it is a good idea to slander their previous teachers, and calls Lupin a "half-breed" - so disgusting to to, especially in front of the students. +1 sucks point
- We love Dean standing up for Lupin, and the fact that Imposter Moody was actually a good teacher despite being a criminal
- Pavarti brings up not learning spells during an important exam year - not everyone learns through theory and if this was a normal school year we could see parents being upset
- Harry calls out Umbridge for not learning defensive magic when Voldemort is back
- Umbridge gaslights Harry so hard we have whiplash
- Umbrige telling student to come talk to her if people are speaking about Voldemort and that she is their friend is such a red flag. Adults - especially teachers - should not be friends with students. +1 Sucks point
- Its so hard for Harry to hear how the Ministry stance disrespects Cedric - saying his death is an accident rather than the fact he was murdered in cold blood
- Harry gets sent to McGonagall and she has one of the best lines in the series "have a biscuit, Potter" we stan
- Its so interesting seeing this from Minnie G as she is one of the more proper and strict teachers in the series
- Its really good that Minerva gives Harry this lesson of having to look at the bigger picture - what is happening to him is not right in any regard but he needs to consider the endgame rather than yelling that he is right to everyone who disagrees with him
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 12: 1
- Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 12: 2

Potter Revisited Episode #109 Make Hogwarts Great Again AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 11 "The Sorting Hat's New Song"
- It is such an odd time to be rereading OOTP with its themes of government overreach
- Harry sees the Thestrals pulling the carriages when Ron doesn't and is starting to think he is losing it since Luna can see them too
- Harry is bottling up a lot of feelings, thoughts and emotions which isn't healthy
- Luna says Hagrid is a bad teacher and tbh, she isn't wrong. Ginny, Ron and Harry have a biased view
- This is one of the only times where Harry is starting the year with people talking about him negatively
- Harry notes that the new person at the staff table is the witch from his Ministry Hearing - while Hermione instantly infers that Umbridge is the new DADA teacher
- The Sorting Hat has a new song that is very different from his usual - explaining the different houses and their preferred traits
- This song goes into some Founders lore including rifts in friendships, ego clouding judgement and if sorting is actually a good thing and issues a warning that Hogwarts is in danger
- Shay has some issues with how the hat generalizes the houses, such as Slytherin's and Hufflepuff's
- Dumbledore is scandalously interrupted by Umbridge who gives a weird speech
- Umbridge gives off the vibe that she has never spoken to a real child before and comes off very condescending
- Children should not be friends with teachers / adults, Umbridge!!!
- Ron and Hermione quickly realize they have Prefect Duties at the end of the feast to attend to
- Is Ron acting odd about his badge because he feels he doesn't deserve it, or that he doesn't want to rub it in Harry's face that he got it
- Or is it more about not wanting to be like Percy, who abandoned the family?
- Neville is so excited that he knows the password and will be able to remember it
- Harry is surprised and angry that Seamus' mom doesn't believe him and Dumbledore, and how Seamus is fishing for information on how Cedric died
- Dean brings up that is parents don't know what has happened because he hasn't told them - does Hogwarts not inform parents, especially muggle parents? Death of a student would be a big thing to keep hidden
- We love Ron standing up for Harry. He would throw down if needed
- Neville's quiet support of Harry is so nice
- Harry has people on his side, but is is struggling with having people he has known for years turn against him which is hard
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 11: 0

Potter Revisited Episode #108 Very Right and Very Wrong AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 10 "Luna Lovegood"
- Harry has some odd dreams after the party from the end of last chapter
- It is smart of Moody to make sure Harry has a guard for his return to Hogwarts
- Shay finds it odd Harry doesn't have a guard for the train
- We love the chaos of the days preparing to leave for Hogwarts
- Fred and George knock Ginny down the stairs in the chaos
- Sirius decides to come to Kings Cross as a dog, and Mrs Weasley doesn't care anymore
- Lupin says goodbye by giving Harry and co a handshake - is this a british thing?
- Ron and Hermione have to go to to the Prefects carriage and Harry is sad about traveling without Ron
- Thank god for Ginny taking pity on Harry as she likely has her own friends she could be sitting with
- Harry thinking lowly of Neville makes Shay mad
- We are finally introduced to Luna Lovegood as we love her
- Luna is much more eccentric in the books but she is very aware of how she is perceived but will not edit herself to appease people which is nice to see
- Neville got a rare plant as a gift from his great uncle, and it is so nice to see Neville's interests appreciated by someone in his family
- Shay thinks that Luna and Neville make a good couple
- Neville's attempt to show off his plants powers goes poorly when Cho Chang seems Harry and co covered in stinky plant sap
- Hermione reveals that Malfoy and Pansy are Slytherin prefects and seems very put out by Pansy being selected rather than Malfoy
- Shay is very upset about Malfoy being made prefect and for the first time ever - is giving Snape +1 sucks point for it!!!
- Harry borrows The Quibbler from Luna and finds an interesting article about Sirius - as adults we can appreciate how funny this is a lot more
- The Quibbler seems like a satire magazine except that they belief these opinions are true
- To be fair to the Quibbler, they do proper interviews and back up their opinions with some evidence unlike Rita Skeeter
- Hermione accidentally insults Luna - They are both such contrasting characters, like foils of each other which make their interactions so fun and interesting. They really are the Sully and Mulder of Hogwarts.
- Hermione uses logic and evidence to back her opinions, where Luna has faith and belief
- Malfoy comes right on schedule to bully Harry as usual - but Harry can't really be bothered by Malfoy's typical schoolyard insults after what he has been through in GoF
- Harry is very worried when he sees Hagrid is not guiding the first years to Hogwarts
- Harry comes face to face with a Thestral - which is he now able to see pulling the carriages for the first time
- Harry being able to see them now is likely that he witnessed and processed that Cedric died in front of him, and he wasn't able to do that as an infant for his parents
- or could it be that he was wearing glasses when he saw Cedric die and wasn't when he was a baby?
- Malfoy implies he knows about Sirius' dog disguise - Harry is now very concerned about the risk Sirius took
- Why do they have the Thestrals pulling the carriages at Hogwarts? Could it be to spot students that may need more support?
- We love how Luna seems to be presented as nerodivergent and what it meant to us growing up
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 10: 1

- Patronus Potter is actually a great nickname
- We can't wait for Lucius to be in jail by the end of OOTP - what he deserves
- The "He got off" chant is so fun

- Harry is fine with not being prefect after finding out his dad wasn't one
- Moody shows Harry an old Order photo which he thinks is cool but really brings the party mood down
- Moody thinks Alberforth Dumbledore is a strange guy, which says something
- Harry stumbles across Molly trying to get rid of the Boggart which shows members of the Weasleys dead
- Shay thought Ron might of really been dead for a moment when reading as a kid
- This is some dark foreshadowing to a Weasley Death

Potter Revisited Episode #105 Department of Injustice AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 7 "The Ministry of Magic"
- Harry entering the room alone and realizing he is in the room where he saw the death eater trials is spooky
- Does the Ministry assume Harry traveled to London from Surrey? Surely he should be pardoned for being late do the the quick location and time change - especially since he is a minor who cannot use the quicker transportation methods
- Harry notices Percy, but Percy ignores him
- What are Fudge and Umbridge's credentials to be interrogators in a criminal hearing? This feels like the Prime Minister asking you questions about a crime they think you committed as a minor
- Fudge has an agenda for this hearing and how he wants it to go
- Dumbledore makes his dramatic entrance into the hearing
- Shay loves this version of Dumbledore - alert the press!
- The way Dumbledore comes in, acts very calm and assertive totally undermines Fudge and his control over the hearing
- Why is it such a big deal that Harry did magic in front of a Muggle when the Muggle is Dudley, who already knows about magic?
- Madame Bones being so in shock and impressed about Harry being able to produce a patronus is so great, we stan
- Fudge making a joke using Bagman's gambling addiction is in such poor taste and completely inappropriate for the situation
- Dumbledore brings up the Charter of Rights - shouldn't Harry been aware of this before the hearing so he wasn't steamrolled by the Minister of Magic who has a vendetta against him?
- Mrs Figg is brought in as a witness, and it shows how much care the Ministry has in Squibs as they have no record of her
- We are introduced to Umbridge and prepare for the awfulness coming our way

Potter Revisited Episode #105 Department of Injustice AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 7 "The Ministry of Magic"
- Harry is trying to get ready for his important hearing and the portrait in his room is laughing at him getting dressed
- Couldn't they have found Harry a better outfit for his important hearing or better prepare him?
- We get a small hint to Scrimgeour, who plays a big role in HBP
- Harry's original hearing was just supposed to be him and Amelia Bones - crazy how it escalates
- Harry commutes the muggle way with Arthur to the ministry which brings back some great and not great commuting memories
- Shay wonders if the telephone box entrance to the Ministry is too close to Doctor Who
- Harry internally judging the Ministry's appearance and location when he just sees the scummy street and telephone box is great
- Shay feels Harry should donate the money first to get good karma for his hearing
- Mr Weasley's interactions with other members of the ministry do a great job at showing the kind of person he is - he is friendly and knows lots of people from many different departments

- Would you take a slide if it was at your office?
- Are you able to demand replies from the ministry memos like Harry uses Hedwig to demand responses to his letters?

- Arthur's department office really shows the lack of respect the Ministry has for it and muggle relations in general
- Shay wonders if Arthur is really qualified for his job despite his passion for it
- Harry's meeting place and time gets changed at the last minute - Fudge has it out for him. This wouldn't fly IRL
- There is also a small introduction of Bode who comes into play later in OOTP
- Harry is shocked that he is supposed to attend the hearing alone - shouldn't he have some kind of advocate as he is a minor? Maybe McGonagall or Dumbledore as they can represent the school

- We touch on the prejudice, racism, propaganda and other elements going on at the Ministry
- We discuss some of the most fun sounding departments and jobs at the Ministry are

- Molly tries to send the kids to bed and put a stop to them talking about the Voldemort info dump they just got
- Shay thinks the portraits in the bedrooms that can speak and see you are creepy
- The twins apparating on Ron's knees is such a funny image
- Fred thinking the weapon Sirius mention would be kept at Hogwarts is a strong theory
- Love that George recognizes how powerful Ginny is - we are really starting to develop her character
- Is Harry's odd dream about weapons as creatures PTSD from the skrewts?
- Sirius is keeping Buckbeak in his mother's old room- we love a petty king
- There is some forced politeness between Molly and Sirius after their confrontation from last night - makes it a bit awkward
- Molly is using Gilderoy Lockhart's book for getting rid of the doxies - does she know he was a fraud?
- Fred and George fill Harry in on their joke shop plans which have taken off quite a bit since the end of GoF
- George fits a lot of stuff in his pockets - how are we still battling small pockets for women in 2026? Tori thinks back to 2016 skinny jeans and little has changed
- Mundugus tries to stash stolen goods at Grimmauld Place - not on Molly's watch
- We are introduced to Kreacher the House Elf - who is a lot different than Dobby
- Sirius does not treat Kreacher well - could it be he is the last living reminder of the trauma he faced living at Grimmauld Place?
- Sirius shows Harry the family tapestry and how he was disowned at 16
- Shay notes how Sirius' family tree is basically a circle with all the inbreeding

- Sirius is obviously not doing well emotionally and mentally being back at Grimmauld Place
- We learn about Sirius' brother Regulus - lots of foreshadowing

- The locket horcrux is mentioned so casually within a number of items they find in the drawing room
- McGonagall in muggle clothing is unnatural

Potter Revisited Episode #102 House Hunters International AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 4 "Number 12, Grimmauld Place"
- Please forgive Tori's voice as she is getting over the flu
- We are back to discussing OOTP in 2026!
- We finally get our introduction to Grimmauld Place
- The way access to Grimmauld place is revealed to Harry seems similar to the magic of the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts
- Grimmauld Place definitely gives of some particular vibes which Shay discusses as if we are in an episode of House Hunters International
- Shay loves hallways and closed living
- Mrs Weasley seems stressed
- CAPS LOCK Harry makes an appearance
- Is Harry really angry at Ron and Hermione, or just taking out his anger on them?
- Ron and Hermione are good friends to allow Harry to take his anger out on them and not hold it against him
- The Twins can apparate now and have great instincts on defusing the tension Harry brings
- Ginny also appears and interacts quite normally with Harry for the first time
- We are looking forward to Ginny's transition from younger sister to an actual character
- Bill is a highly respected older sibling
- Fred spills the tea about Bill and Fleur
- Both Bill and Charlie have joined the order to help find and recruit members, but what about Percy?
- Percy had a catastrophic falling out with Mr Weasley and his family - has this been building for a while?
- We understand Percy was wrong about Dumbledore and Harry, however we sympathize with him on his family not respecting or valuing his interests/ambitions
- Does Percy's high ambition stem from his father not having more (according to Percy) and him viewing that as a character flaw?
- Does Percy have some jealousy on how Harry fits into his family compared to himself?
- Harry is being slandered in the press again
- Would Sirius actually allow Snape to stay for dinner?
- We are introduced to Sirius' mother in the form of a screaming lifesize portrait that cannot be removed. Terrible person, but we respect the level of pettiness.
- We are looking forward to the next few chapters set in Grimmauld place!
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 3: 0

Potter Revisited Episode #101 Dumbledore, You Egotistical Nut AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 3 "The Advanced Guard"
- This chapter is a lot more exposition and transitional than the previous two chapters that had lots of action and foreshadowing
- Shay does not approve of how rude Harry is to Hedwig
- Hedwig is the true MVP though
- Harry is really going through the symptoms of bad mental health right now
- Moody as Lupin ask Harry a question he would only know - we decide to ask each other the same
- The advanced guard has come to spring Harry free with some familiar faces - Lupin and Moody - and some new faces
- It interesting the way this real Mad Eye Moody is reintroduced to Harry and the readers - they don't really focus on it too much
- Lupin is back and we are so excited
- We are introduced to Nymphadora Tonks who we are also very excited about
- Tonk's rouse to lure the Dursley's away from the house was genius. We discuss other ways it could have been done
- Quite a large group came to pick Harry up - was that wise?
- It was smart to include Lupin in the guard as Harry actually knows and trusts Lupin, but was everyone else necessary? Although at this point, Harry probably would have left with anyone
- It is great having a mid-twenties character like Tonks in the mix, as most characters in the series so far are adults or children
- Tonks reveals to Harry she is a Metamorphmagus and can change her appearance at will - we wish more lore was included about this
- We love how nosy the team is, looking through Petunia's kitchen
- It is decided that the best course of transportation is flying to headquarters - does this really seem like the most logical route?
- Shay and Tori debate if using a broom should count as Harry using magic
- It doesn't seem too much thought went into this and it is just a plot device to get Harry to Number 12 Grimmauld Place
- They just land in the middle of a muggle courtyard in London and no one notices?
- Moody has Dumbledore's Deluminator - is this foreshadowing to this being important in DH?
- Dumbledore - as secret keeper - wrote down the location of headquarters - isn't that risky? All so he didn't need to see / be near Harry?
- Shay calls out Dumbledore for his ego
- The Dumbledore slander is only at the beginning
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 3: 0

- Dudley really changes between OOTP and DH for how he treats Harry
- Why does the first letter Harry receives from the Ministry say he is expelled from school, they are coming to destroy his wand, but tells him to also come for a disciplinary meeting later
- Signing off "hope you are well" to such a terrible letter is savage
- The Ministry is showing to be corrupt, not allowing due process for Harry
- Were certain death eaters in the Ministry influencing trying to get Harry's wand destroyed for Voldemort?
- Interesting to compare Harry in PoA thinking he is being arrested and planning to run away, and now in OOTP probably would be arrested and planning to run away
- Sirius and Arthur Weasleys letters are mostly the same, but impose a different reaction from Harry
- Harry needs to hire a lawyer
- What did Dudley experience during the dementor attack?

Potter Revisited Episode #96 Gaslighting AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 36 "The Parting of the Ways"
- We are now a Fudge Hate podcast
- After learning that Moody was actually Barty Crouch Jr and everything that happened to him, Harry still needs to sit with Dumbledore and tell him everything that happened
- Despite it all, Harry does ask about Cedric's parents
- Fawkes gives Harry the emotional support he needs, as well as Sirius
- Harry feels immediate comfort with Fawkes around - is this due to the wand or, or is this just what Phoenixes do?
- Fawkes is basically an emotional support animal at this point
- Could Dumbledore just have gotten Harry's memories of the events instead of making him relive it?
- Dumbledore keeps telling Harry he did beyond what was expected of him... but what was expected of him?
- Dumbledore's "gleam of triumph" What does it mean?
- We learn brother wands can't attack each other - what was Olivander doing making these wands in the first place?
- Sirius is visibly shocked and upset about the ghostly apparitions of James and Lily - is he reliving his own trauma from their deaths?
- Dumbledore does show Harry a lot of care in the aftermath, which is starkly different to how he treats Harry in OOTP
- Dumbledore: "What matters isn't what someone is born but what they grow to be" - very interesting quote in regards to the series
- Note: We do discuss the author's transphobic views in relation to this quote
- Mini G comes in yelling at Fudge - good for her
- Fudge came in and got rid of the "evidence" and then complains about the lack of evidence
- Fudge gaslights everyone SO hard
- Fudge shows the ugly side of his character with how he treats Harry and avoids responsibility to to see reason
- Why is Fudge coming to question the suspect rather than a trained professional like an Aurror?
- Fudge seems suspicious - the way he acted seems like he was in on a cover up
- Cedric's parents deserve answers in how he died
- Interesting when Harry names Lucius Malfoy as a Death Eater, Fudge brings up the fact that he is from an "old family" that donates a large amount of money, so he is obviously innocent - something we see a lot today
- Snape shows Fudge and everyone around his dark mark - is this pretty brave of him?
- Sirius reveals himself to everyone, and Snape realizes that Dumbledore has been gaslighting him for a year
- It feels naïve the way Dumbledore tries to have Sirius and Snape burry the hatchet - he expected too much as they have too much history
- Sirius and Snape leave to do their part of Dumbledore's master plan, and Mrs Weasley steps in to support Harry
- Harry describes the hug he gets being like from a mother - which has so much emotional ties with everything he has been through
- It is interesting how this chapter closes everything yet everything is not resolved and won't be going into OOTP - really a new beginning
- Last chapter and wrap up for GOF coming soon!
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 36:0

- The reveal that (fake) Moody put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire was shocking to Tori as a kid, when you think at the moment that Moody is a bad guy

- Harry has been through so much these last few hours

- Could Harry have used a better, more offensive spell than expelliarmus?
- Harry hears the Phoenix Lament when the priori incantatem occurs between him and Voldemort
- Would priori incantatem occur for any other type of shared cores? Would it be different depending on the core?
- Harry sees the ghostly apparitions of the people Voldemort has killed

Potter Revisited Episode #90 Constant Judgement from your Predecessors AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 30 "The Pensieve"
- We are back in Dumbledore's office
- Fudge quickly backpedals when Harry calls him out
- There is a lot of recapping done about Dumbledore's office but a lot of these things do come back in the series later on
- Harry is so nosey, we love him for it
- Interesting seeing the Real Moody in the memories - we get a good idea of his character and Moody's stance on justice
- We finally get the confirmation that Snape was a Death Eater
- What testimony did Dumbledore do to clear Snape? It seems incredible that the government just took Dumbledore's word on Snape
- Ludo getting off due to him being a celebrated athlete is too close to real life
- We see the court proceeding where Crouch tries his own son - did Barty Jr play up his innocence to make his father look bad?
- Would Crouch's career been more affected if Barty JR had acting more like Bellatrix in the trial?
- Did Dumbledore leave the pensieve out on purpose for Harry to find?
- It still feels odd that Harry did not see the dream through Voldemort's perspective
- We get more context to Neville's past and Harry has really great empathy
- Neville's parents being alive but not cognitive feels worse than Harry's parents being dead
- Dumbledore will not tell Harry anything about Snape's loyalty. Should Dumbledore have given more context? Harry's mistrust of Snape hurts Harry a lot down the line
- Dumbledore asking Harry not to tell people about Neville's parents and letting Neville decide when to tell people seems like the only time Dumbledore has protected a student that is not Harry
- How does the Pensieve work and what are the main purposes? We discuss how it could be used in court trials and other uses
- Snape Sucks count for Chapter 30:0

Potter Revisited Episode #88 Percy Weasley's Boggart AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 28 "The Madness of Mr Crouch"
- Is this confirmation that Butterbeer is alcoholic?
- Winky is so sad, yet none of the House Elves besides Dobby don't seem to have any empathy for her
- Hermione is sent a bunch of hate mail due to Rita Skeeter's article - shouldn't there be process to check the mail students are sent?
- Why are adults sending a minor child (at a SCHOOL) hate with curses and dangerous substances??
- It the grand scheme of things, if there was a bit of truth to Rita's article - is this amount of hate really necessary?
- Hermione has a real strong sense of self for a girl her age - most teens would not be able to handle this with the amount of grace as she does
- Hagrid seems to finally hit the sweet spot with teaching - the lesson he plans with the Nifflers is interactive, fun and not overly dangerous
- How the Weasley siblings deal with their financial insecurity is all very interesting
- Ron internalizes it
- The Twins are proactive and work on creating a business
- Percy follows in his fathers footsteps and enters the Ministry, and plans to work his way up the corporate ladder
- Bill and Charlie both take career paths that lead them out of the country
- Rita is not ready for the wrath Hermione has coming for her

- Does the way Mrs Weasley treat the boys VS the girls show a character flaw?
- Percy sends his letter regarding Mr Crouch and he is not pleased
- Viktor pulls Harry aside for a private word - this would have been such a great scene for the film
- Why does Snape stop Harry when it is obviously an emergency? + 1 Sucks point
- Karkaroff does have a point from his perspective - this tournament is very suspicious
- Is this the first time we really see Hagrid's rage?
- Is it odd hearing very negative and prejudice talk from Hagrid, who is generally very open and friendly
- Its unfortunate the Mr Crouch plotline with pretty much cut from the films - this would have been a great dramatic scene after the comic relief of Harry and Krum's talk
- Seeing Mr Crouch like this would be Percy's boggart
- Lots of foreshadowing from Crouch
- Snape Sucks total for Chapter 28: 1

- It's nice that Harry kept his promise and bought Dobby socks
- Bagman is such a red herring in this book, and it turns out his is just a bad employee and kind of bad person

- Sirius brings up an interesting point to the kids that people on the 'good side' can also be bad
- Crouch sent his own son to prison - why didn't he recuse himself?
- It feels odd when Sirius talks about his childhood with Snape that he never mentions that Snape was friends with Lily

- Harry seeing the spell that killed his parents is also hard to read, as he is reflecting on how they died

Potter Revisited Episode #66 Nauseating Wizard Travel AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 6 "The Portkey"

- It is confirmed the Twins had not tested the product they slipped to Dudley last chapter
- Ton Tongue Toffee is a really good product name
- Mr Weasley has a good point about the optics of Fred and George giving Dudley the prank sweet and how it could affect his work
- Mr Weasley is mad but not has much as Mrs Weasley
- Mrs Weasley is upset about the Twins OWL marks - she wants the to work at the Ministry which seems to be one of the only job options the series shows so far
- She sees Fred and George as not having ambition since she doesn't see a joke shop as a serious venture but the twins clearly have lots of ambition it just shows differently than with Percy
- Percy has his job at the Ministry, which he has been working towards for a long time, and no one seems to respect him or what he has accomplished and he clearly needs the validation

- Viktor Krum is also mentioned - is he the Sydney Crosby or Carrie Price of Quidditch?
- Fred and George reveal at the end of the chapter that they sent Percy dragon dung to his office - this feels more cruel than the usually siblings pranks especially since no one seems to respect Percy
- We finally get to meet Bill and Charlie Weasley
- Bill is the anti-percy, literally just COOL
- Is Bill a wizard tomb raider?
- What exactly does Charlie do with dragons at his job?

Potter Revisited Episode #64 Family Values AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 4 "Back To The Burrow"
- Should Mr & Mrs Weasley (as the adults) confirmed with Harry on how they were picking him up?
- Dudley is walking around covering his bottom which is played as a gag but rereading feels more like a trauma response
- The poor planning of the Weasleys actually makes us side with the Dursley's for once
- Why did Arthur think it would be a good idea to bring Fred and George?
- We have a lot of issues with the "prank" Fred and George play on Dudley with the toffee - there are so may variables that could of ended badly
- The Twins are seen as goofy, fun and good kids so it is interesting to look at them through a less rose coloured lens
- The Dursley's obviously have a fear of magic and the Twins as well as Mr Weasley did not help matters
- Mr Weasley forcing the Dursley's to say goodbye to Harry or be seen as rude is great
- Shay compares the Weasley's to the Dursley's on their social values and priorities

Potter Revisited Episode #63 By The Way, This is a Harry Potter Book AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 3 "The Invitation"
- The fatphobia around the Dursley's is very rampant - definitely other things to focus on
- Shay feels for the teachers that have to deal with parents like the Dursley's
- Dudley's diet feels very 90s/early 2000s diet culture
- Mrs Weasley sends the Dursley's a letter to invite Harry to stay with the Weasleys - something she is not accustom to but obviously went to the effort out of politeness - the Dursley's didn't really deserve such kindness
- Harry using Sirius to blackmail the Dursley's is great and something Sirius would be proud of
- This is the one summer Harry really has the upper hand on the Dursley's
- Harry is keeping food and more specifically birthday cake under a floorboard in his room - is that safe to eat? Tori would never but Shay would consider it
- Ron sends a letter telling Harry that they are getting him no matter what the Durlsey's say - can't miss the world cup!
- Ron's letter mentions that Percy got a job at the Ministry but doesn't seem to impressed by it - is this already showing more friction between Percy and his family?
- Ron has invited both Harry and Hermione to come to the world cup match - he is the only Weasley kid bringing friends. Is it realistic that none of the other Weasley siblings wouldn't have something to say about that?
- Shay feels it is too convenient for Arthur to get so many tickets no matter what Ludo Bagman says - and thinks it could of been something organized by Dumbledore
- Harry and Hermione could probably afford their own tickets as well

- This chapter has so much great buildup and reveals

- Harry has a voice telling him to kill Black - is this his own inner voice or the Horcrux inside him?

- How did Crookshanks come to trust Sirius?
- Lupin comes in, but before we can truly feel relieved, it appears he is in league with Sirius - such a big betrayal

- Lupin does a great job of deescalating the trio - without him Sirius would have been a goner
- Should the chapter have been split into two? The Sirius Black reveal is overshadowing pretty quickly by the other accusations and the Peter reveal
- Snape Sucks total for Chapter 16: 0

Potter Revisited Episode #50 Wizard Lobotomy AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 13 "Gryffindor VS Ravenclaw"
- We made it to 50 episodes! Thank you for listening!
- Shay just got back from a trip to Salem - definitely recommends
- Ron and Hermione falling out - Ron seems to just want Hermione to admit she was wrong, which she won't. Why does she double down on Crookshanks being innocent?
- Does Hermione using the Timeturner and school load affect how she handles this falling out?
- Ron takes the loss of Scabbers really hard
- Everyone is very excited Harry has his Firebolt back
- Shay has an issue with a certain phrase used
- We get our first introduction to Cho Chang - Ravenclaw Seeker and Harry's first crush
- Harry having the firebolt - which seems to outrank everyone's brooms - doesn't seem fair for the rest of the students and teams
- Harry and his Squad take the Firebolt down to breakfast the day of the game like it is a special artifact
- Even Percy is excited about the Firebolt and makes a bet with his girlfriend on the game
- We have missed Lee Jordan's commentary, it definitely makes reading the Quidditch heavy chapters easier for those not interested in sports
- Shay wonders why a lot of Lee's commentary was excluded from the films
- Harry sees what appears to be a Dementor by the pitch and shoots a Patronus at it - it ends up being Malfoy and Friends but it's very impressive for Harry to do this while still focusing on the game
- Shay feels like Malfoy should have gotten a worse punishment
- We wonder how Madame Hooch keeps track of all components of the game plus the fouls etc
- Harry tries to make up with Hermione a bit and have her join the part but Hermione is almost hysterical - is the stress of everything starting to get to her?
- Ron can be quite vindictive when he's upset
- Harry has an interesting dream about trying to reach a patronus-like figure that is galloping away. Is this a sign from his father something similar?
- Ron wakes up the dorm screaming that Sirius Black broke in trying to kill him - why did Dumbledore not have better security in place after the Halloween break-in?
- Poor Neville got in so much trouble when it wasn't really completely on him - he was only trying to be proactive
- We dive into a deeper discussion about brooms as equipment in Quidditch and if Harry having the firebolt is really fair to the rest of the students
- Snape Sucks total for Chapter 13: 0

- Shay thinks she would be like Parvarti and Lavender and visiting Trelawney at Lunch

- Is Ron more mad at Hermione because of Crookshanks or that she won't take him seriously?
- Is Hermione a good pet owner? Why isn't she controlling Crookshanks more?
- The Trio see Lavender crying before class - she just got news her bunny died. She believes the prediction Trelawney made is real since it's the 16th of October
- Hermione tries to disprove the prediction could be real with logic, ignoring the fact that Lavender's pet is dead - why does Hermione always do this?
- Shay points out this could be the beginning of Lavender's crush on Ron, as he tells off Hermione in front of her. Tori, a Ron/Hermione shipper, isn't sure
- Ron convinces Harry to ask McGonagall for permission to go to Hogsmede - and she obviously says no since it's against the rules
- Dean had offered to forge Vernon's signature - why didn't Harry do this before going to McGonagall?
- Tori tells a story about the time she forged her Mom's signature in Grade 4 to avoid missing recess
- Shay wonders if they keep the parents signature on file and would be able to detect a forgery by magic

- Harry trying to convince Lupin that Snape is bad and likely poisoned the potion is funny, considering Lupin and Snape grew up together at school

Potter Revisited Episode #44 Feelings Matter AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 7 "The Boggart in the Wardrobe"
- Even Shay, a Snape fan, can admit he is a dick in this chapter. Lots of Snape Sucks points coming!
- Malfoy is obviously faking being injured - would this concern Madame Pomfrey?
- Does Snape let Malfoy get away with more than any other student because of Lucius being a Death Eater and wanting to keep and eye on the inner circle for Dumbledore, or does he see parts of himself in Malfoy, and looking to give him the chances he didn't have
- Tori feels like Snape really starts acting out - specifically in this chapter- because Lupin is now at Hogwarts and it has thrown him off

- +1 Snape Sucks for punishing Hermione for helping Neville save Trevor
- Some foreshadowing to Hermione's time travel as she was with Harry and Ron up the staircase and then suddenly was at the bottom
- Do Harry and Ron not really focus on Hermione obviously having a secret because they don't think she would be doing anything cool or breaking the rules?
- The students get their first practical lesson for DADA with Lupin - shouldn't they have had one before?
- Lupin and the students run into Peeves - who treats Lupin a lot different from the other Professors - could this be because he was a Marauder?
- +1 Snape Sucks for Snape insulting Neville in front of Lupin and the entire class
- Is Snape projecting his feelings about Lupin being at Hogwarts and targeting Neville instead?
- Lupin handles Snape very well by not engaging, and instead lifting Neville up
- Lupin is such a Troll, he comes off very professional speaking to Snape but then encourages Neville to make Boggart Snape wear his Gran's clothes
- Harry comes off quite mature when thinking of his greatest fear - he has two mass murderers after him but rather goes for what most recently has scared him
- Shay wonders why most of the students boggarts were generic Halloween type monsters, and not something like disappointed parents, failure, etc
- Is Neville's Boggart being Snape more showing is fear of incompetence rather than actual fear of Snape?
- Did Lupin make any preparations for students having some deeper trauma (like he sort of did for Harry?)
- Lupin stops Harry from battling the Boggart - we see his Boggart takes the shape of an "orb" or something similar foreshadowing

- Why would Hermione's Boggart taken the shape of? We discuss Hermione's fears being failure and not belonging

Potter Revisited Episode #43 Doom and Gloom AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 6 "Talons and Tea Leaves"
- We are starting off the school term in this chapter and it is an eventful first day back
- We love the idea of Malfoy running into Fred and George's compartment on the train, scared of the Dementor
- Ron notices Hermione has 3 classes all at the same time, but she is able to brush him off in her Hermione way
- We theorize how Hermione uses the timeturner to get to classes - she seems to have 3 classes at the same time in the morning
- Would using the Timeturner so much age Hermione? Would it shorten her lifespan?
- Sir Cadogan is a delight
- Harry hates Divination but Tori and Shay disagree
- We are introduced to Trelawney and she is a very dramatic character - she is only "predicting" bad news
- Shay breaks down the predictions Trelawney makes in this first class and if they could be real
- Ron's teacup predicts suffering but also happiness - we discuss Ron's future throughout the series
- Hermione talks down to a professor and is very dismissive and openly disdainful for the first time - Is this her disbelief in Divination as a subject or because she's on her 3rd time going back in time for class and is tired and hungry?
- Why is Harry so worried about his cup having a death omen? He has had Voldemort trying to kill him every year and now Sirius Black
- McGonagall is the MVP and defuses the tension like the pro she is
- McGonagall says Trelawney "predicts" a student will die every year - we discuss who we think could have been the student before Harry
- Hermione obviously isn't happy with Divination after the first lesson - why didn't she drop it then?
- Hagrid is teaching his first ever class and although Hagrid is very knowledgeable and excited by the subject... he isn't that great at supervising students or teaching
- Allowing Harry to fly Buckbeak was probably a bit much for a lesson...
- Hagrid is supposed to be a teacher in charge but is relying a lot on Harry, Ron and Hermione throughout the lesson and making sure everyone is enjoying themselves rather than providing any real lesson
- It's interesting that Hermione is able to separate her feelings for her friend, Hagrid, and know he isn't a great teacher where as Harry and Ron see Hagrid as all or nothing and it's a betrayal to his character to think otherwise
- Again, as the trio visit Hagrid later on he is a bit drunk and confiding in them as a friend rather than any kind of adult or authority figure (until he is able to sober up at Hermione's interference)
- Looking forward to some great Lupin and Snape content next chapter!

Potter Revisited Episode #42 Harry's First Kiss... Almost AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 5 "The Dementor"
- Tori is back from her Taylor Swift concert in Tampa and Shay is (a) mad (woman)
- Mrs Weasley is telling Ginny and Hermione about the time she made a love potion as a young girl... we discuss our distaste for love potions and how they are so casually described in this series
- Mr Weasley is obviously acting as Harry's guard but it doesn't seem to be as annoying to Harry since Mr Weasley treats Harry like one of his own
- It's nice seeing Harry and Ginny having a normal moment together - laughing over how Percy is acting with his girlfriend- without Ginny being super embarrassed or shy
- Harry's casual reaction to Mr Weasley telling him that Sirius Black has escaped to kill him is fun but also sad seeing as it's Harry's normal at this point
- Why did no one think to tell Harry about his parents relationship with Sirius Black? Obviously it would of come out or he would of been able to find out on his own at some point - wouldn't of it have been better to here the truth (or what was thought the truth) from someone rather than gossip or rumours?
- Tori feels bad for Ginny being told to leave by Ron - How must Ginny be feeling coming back to school after her first year?
- The Trios train compartment has an extra guest - Remus Lupin. Why did he decide to ride the train? Was it for nostalgia or something else?
- Is Lupin really sleeping the whole time? Shay confirms the full moon was one day away when they were on the train
- The Sneakoscope Ron got Harry starts going off when in the train - is this foreshadowing to Scabbers being Peter Pettigrew or something else?
- You can't help feel bad for Harry when Ron and Hermione are talking about Hogsmede - why did they assume he'd be able to go?
- Tori fully understands Hermione's love for Crookshanks being a cat mom herself but Hermione isn't really being a responsibly pet owner by not taking Ron's concerns seriously
- Shay brings up the point that maybe 13 is too young to be a solo pet owner
- Why does Malfoy start every year antagonizing Harry on the train? What kind of validation does he get from it?
- Ron is very enraged by Malfoy - more so than previous books. Is this just due to his age, or could it be from what the Malfoy's put Ginny through last year?
- It seems very negligent of the Ministry to allow the Dementors to do whatever they want - they boarded the train full of young students and few staff who had no idea what was going on
- Shay agrees the train probably should have been search before they boarded or left the station but not by dementors
- When the Dementor comes into Harry's compartment he has a very bad reaction and ends up passing out - what would of happened if Lupin was not with him? From what Ron and Hermione tell him afterwords, Lupin had to force the Dementor to leave
- It is pretty sweet that Ginny comes looking for Ron when she's scared by what is going on - we discuss her relationship with the Twins and Percy and why Ron is the best choice
- Ginny also had a bad reaction to the Dementor - we discuss what reliving that trauma must of been like
- What must it been like for Lupin to see Harry after so long, especially as he looks so much like James?
- Harry seems surprised that Lupin knew who he was - is this foreshadowing that Lupin is going to be more than a DADA teacher?
- Some foreshadowing to the Thestrals as Harry describes the school carriages being pulled by "invisible horses"
- We both empathize with Harry being embarrassed about fainting - both of us have fainted in public situations including the same building we used to work
- Harry's reaction to McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey showing concern over him is very relatable - he is more worried by what others will think than his health
- Lupin has Pomfrey's seal of approval - we wonder if they have a close bond due to how much time Lupin would have spent in the hospital wing while at school
- We know that this meeting with McGonagall is where Hermione receives her timeturner and it just feels so negligent that this would need to be approved by so many people and no one seemed to be looking out for Hermione and her mental wellbeing
- It would have been more beneficial to Hermione to learn how to prioritize and pick the classes she really wanted to take
- Tori wonders if Hermione is the first one to use a Time Turner for classes, and Shay theorizes that Bill and Percy must have had to as well to get the number of OWLs they did
- Lupin is announced as DADA teacher and Snape is not happy
- Shay feels for Snape has it has to suck having your childhood bully get the job you have always wanted and also moving into your home
- Dumbledore really caused all this trouble with Snape and Lupin - Snape was just holding in all this resentment it's no wonder it bursts at the end of the book
- Why does it seem like Dumbledore is putting Snape through all these weird tests, just seeing how far he can push him?
- Hagrid is made CoMC Teacher - is he actually qualified? What makes a teacher qualified to teach?
- Dumbledore only really has staff that have a purpose for him (or Harry) so was Hagrid promoted because of how loyal he is?
- We discuss Dementors and the concept of having them at a school full of vulnerable children

Potter Revisited Episode #41 Prioritize Not Dying AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 4 "The Leaky Cauldron"

Potter Revisited Episode #40 Public Transit Woes AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 3 "The Knight Bus"
- This entire chapter can be summarized as Harry thinking he has been expelled from school and is on a run from the government ... as a 13 year old
- Harry's plan actually isn't that bad for him being a Gryffindor and a minor
- Great foreshadowing and information about Sirius this chapter
- We love how the Knight Bus is very chaotic and so different from everything else we've seen in the Wizarding World so far
- Shay is not a fan of beds being on the Knight Bus
- We are introduced to Stan Shunpike - the first young adult we've met in the series so far
- How did Stan get the conductor job? Is it something he is passionate about? Or just a job since he is done school?
- Why are Ern and Stan not concerned that Harry is obviously a minor and is on his own in the middle of the night?
- Both of thought the Knight Bus sounded so cool and fun as kids (who didn't grow up with public transit) but now both as adults who primarily use public transit to get around - you could not pay us to use the Knight Bus
- How does the magic of the Knight Bus work? How can the Muggles not see or hear it?
- Harry giving the name Neville Longbottom to Stan and Ern is very funny - especially since this is the first book that introduces us to prophecies
- Why didn't Harry come up with a fake name or alias?
- Stan says the Knight Bus can go anywhere on land... does that mean Harry could have gone anywhere in central europe if he didn't need to go to Gringotts?
- Do Wizards really not know what guns are? If most Wizards live in the Muggle World, wouldn't they see it in media at the very least?
- Stan explains the Sirius Black backstory on how he got arrested - Shay wonders why everyone seemed to think Sirius was Voldemorts #2 in Command
- Why was Peter Pettigrew made a Death Eater? He obviously didn't have a very clear alliance to either side, just self preservation
- Why was Sirius laughing when he was caught? We talk a bit about the events that lead to Sirius' arrest and the headspace he could have been in
- Lots of foreshadowing to the "Azkaban Guards" - which give Ern the "Collywobbles"
- Harry is really thinking he may be sent to Azkaban if caught
- Harry runs right into Cornelius Fudge - the way he is treated by Cornelius in this book compared to OOTP is night and day
- If Sirius hadn't escaped and Fudge wasn't being criticized would Harry has received some kind of punishment for Aunt Marge? What if he wasn't Harry?
- Why does no one care about Harry's relationship (or lack there of) with the Dursley's? Such a red flag
- Again, this is all Dumbledore's fault
- Shay explains the meaning of Number 11 - the room number Harry is staying in at The Leaky Cauldron
- Harry is being allowed to stay at The Leaky Cauldron - by himself- for the last 3 weeks of summer holidays. This would be any young teens dream, but is it actually a good solution?
- Harry asking the literal Minster of Magic to sign his Hogsmede permission form gives Tori so much second hand embarrassment. Just forge the signature!
- Shay compares in to asking Canadian Prime Minister for a sick day

Potter Revisited Episode #39 Inflated Ego AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 2 "Aunt Marge's Big Mistake"
- We discuss Dudley getting a TV in the kitchen, and how it contrasts how Dudley is being raised VS Harry
- Escaped convict Sirius Black is mentioned on the Muggle news - foreshadowing on what is to come in PoA
- Vernon and Petunia's initial view of Sirius - thinking he is a vagrant, etc - really shows how they view their place in society and think they are better than others as they don't even know what crime he has been arrested for.
- It seems especially bleak that Vernon calls for the death penalty - specifically how he uses the phrase "Those people"
- Aunt Marge is coming to visit and the incidents which Harry describes on her last few visits are alarming
- Comparing the Dursely's way of dealing with Harry VS Aunt Marge
- Harry blackmailing Uncle Vernon is great - but we think he could have done a bit better
- Is Harry conscious of the magic he is using unintentionally this chapter?
- Its interesting seeing the accidental magic Harry is doing this chapter as wandless magic is supposed to be very hard, and very powerful
- Shay wonders why Harry got upset about Aunt Marge insulting James rather than her dig at Lily before
- Shay finds Aunt Marge to be a very flat and unbelievable character compared to the other bad guys / villains we get in the series like Umbridge
- Vernon and Petunia let Aunt Marge steamroll over them and seem to bed over backwards to accommodate her - does she have more money or a higher standing in society?
- Harry is done with the Dursleys, packs up and leaves and we can't blame him. Shay wonders why Harry didn't leave earlier
- Looking at Harry's relationship with the Dursley's over the series, Shay wonders why they were never targeted to use against Harry
- We discuss the fatphobia in the series again, with the focus Dudley's weight this chapter. Tori discusses how the series very much lumps fat and ugly together and only all the bad or evil characters are described with these characteristics
- Shay also discusses Dudley as a character this far and how Petunia and Vernon are failing him with the way he is being raised
- Was Aunt Marge a plot device to get Harry to run away from the Dursley's? Could there have been another way to get Harry to leave without introducing a new character that never returns?
- We are looking forward to seeing Harry on the run thinking he's a wanted man next chapter!

Potter Revisited Episode #38 Tickled At The Stake AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 1 "Owl Post"
- We discuss out excitement of heading into PoA in our reread journey - This was the first Harry Potter book Tori read all the way back when she was 10 years old
- PoA opens up similarly to CoS with the first chapter mostly being a summary of what happened in the previous books - we discuss how this works for children's series and how HP stops doing this as the series becomes more general fantasy/darker
- Shay wonders again why they are assigned summer homework - especially since it seems like Harry is working on some complicated essays
- Tori wonders if they are assigned more summer work this summer as they didn't learn much during CoS or if incoming third years are assigned more work to help ease them into their heavier course load in third year
- Tori discusses how the Witch Trials / Witch Burnings are described per Harry's textbook - how the fire only tickles them and the witch or wizard would disparate - and how this affects the Pureblood Anti-Muggle side of the series
- What did Harry expect would happen when giving Ron and Hermione his phone number?
- Why didn't Hermione call first since she actually knows how to use a phone?
- Shay wonders what Muggle Technology Wizards would find dumb or useless, and which tech they would love
- "Harry had to admit he was lucky to reach his 13th birthday" Tori and Shay discuss how Harry is always ready to die
- The Weasley's win the lottery!
- Did the Weasley's partly visit Bill to get Ginny away and help her after her traumatic year?
- Thank god Ron got a new wand!
- We discuss how Wizard vacations would work - how do the Weasley's travel to Egypt? Is it portkeys?
- Tori finds it a bit sad that Percy made Headboy yet none of his siblings seem very happy for him
- Hedwig is the true MVP picking up Hermione and Hagrid's gifts for Harry's birthday
- Hermione gets Harry a very personalized gift for his birthday - showing how close they have become as friends and how much she values him
- Tori finds Harry's birthday a bit sad as 13 is usually quite a big celebration with growing up and becoming a teenager but Harry is very content with opening a few gifts in the middle of the night by himself
- It is all Dumbledore's fault
- We are looking for the chaos Aunt Marge brings next chapter!

Potter Revisited Episode #36 You Meddling Kids! AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 18 "Dobby's Reward"
- Harry, Ron, Ginny and Lockhart turn up to McGonagall's office in a state but Dumbledore is merely beaming while everyone else is losing it - especially McGonagall
- Harry cleverly avoids mentioning they brewed Polyjuice Potion to interrogate Malfoy in his recap to the professors
- Ginny has been through a harrowing ordeal... but Dumbledore merely tells her to lie down and drink some hot chocolate? Shouldn't there me more concern of the lasting effects of being possessed the the fact she almost died?
- Was this Dumbledore's first clue that Harry might be a Horcrux?
- Did Dumbledore know Lockhart was a fraud the whole time?
- Lucius is losing it big time
- Lucius choosing Ginny to give the diary to in order to progress his political power shows the Malfoys never do anything unless it also benefits them in some way
- Dobby is the true MVP giving Harry hints about Lucius right in front of him
- Tori and Shay wonder how much Harry's sock would need to stretch to fit the diary inside of it

Potter Revisited Episode #34 How Come You've Got A Sword? AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 17 "The Heir of Slytherin"
- We need a property survey and updated map of Hogwarts that includes all the secret chambers and how far underneath the castle they are
- The way the chamber is described in the book makes it seem a lot bigger than the film shows - even the statue of Salazar is bigger
- Harry does not seem very shocked or concerned that Tom Riddle is there
- Tom picks up Harry's wand - which is the brother to his wand. What would of happened if he attempted to use it?
- "We're in the Chamber of Secrets, we can talk later!"
- Interesting to think that Hagrid is only a few years younger than Voldemort and they were peers at school
- Tom Riddle is Voldemort and Voldemort is him - and is very dramatic
- How does Tom Riddle know so much about Harry when it is after his time? Did Ginny tell him, or is it due to him being a Horcrux and connection to the other bit of soul left in Voldemort?
- Shay find it hilarious how Tom had to bond with an 11 year old girl, and wonders what they would have talked about
- Tom Riddle seems a bit more human than Voldemort when discussing his parentage - claiming is changed his name not because he hated Muggles but because his father abandoned him
- We reflect on Harry seeing the teenage version of the person who later on grew up to murder his parents
- Harry is Dumbledore's Man through and through already
- What kind of magic tethers Fawkes to Dumbledore - how is Fawkes able to know to come to Harry?
- Voldy is UGLY
- The description of Fawkes puncturing the Basilisk's eyes is a bit too much for us reading even as adults
- Dumbledore is very lucky the Sword coming through the sorting hat didn't knock Harry out. Shay loves the silliness of it
- Interesting to think that Basilisk venom is one of the only ways to destroy and Horcrux, and it ends up piercing Harry
- We discuss the compulsion Harry had to stab the diary with the fang - was it the Horcrux in him acting to protect itself?
- We discuss the trauma Ginny has faced this year and how it will impact her going forward
- Did Ginny think that Percy would turn her in?
- Ron's first reaction after seeing that Harry and Ginny are alright is the fact Harry has a sword. Very 12 year old reaction.
- Lockhart gets his karma at last
- Shay discusses what items like the Sword of Gryffindor the other houses could have

Potter Revisited Episode #34 Lockhart Only Sees What's in The Mirror AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 16 "The Chamber of Secrets"
- It's a book title chapter and a lot happens! How many times is the book title a chapter title in the series?
- The Profs expect students to revise and write exams at this point and we agree with the students outrage
- What about those students that were petrified for most of the year like Colin? Would they be exempt?
- Ron is very luck to not have to do his practical exams with his wand
- McGonagall has an announcement and very on brand - Wood thinks "Quidditch!"
- Shay talks about Quidditch likely being Oliver's coping mechanism
- Ginny is very anxious and wants to tell Harry and Ron something - Shay wonders if her inability to get the words out is the Horcrux prohibiting her
- Just as Ginny is about to say something, Percy comes to ruin everything
- Was Percy naive in believing Ginny wasn't going to tell Harry and Ron anything important
- The way Percy describes what Ginny walked in on makes it sound less innocent that what it is revealed to be later
- Harry comes up with a cover story and moves McGonagall to tears
- How did no one else notice the paper in Hermione's hand?
- Was it out of character for Hermione to rip a page out of a Library book?
- The way Harry and Ron use this information to connect everything is very impressive
- The first time Harry and Ron decide to go to a teacher first before acting - and it backfires
- Why didn't they just stay out in the staff room and give their information then - it was very important!
- The Profs ganging up on Lockhart is what we have been waiting for
- Ron, The Twins and Harry are all sitting together after the news of Ginny while Percy locks himself in his room after informing his parents. Is this showing the divide between Percy and his family already?
- Interesting that it is Ron's idea to go to Lockhart. Why didn't they try and find a competent teacher like McGonagall instead?
- Harry and Ron discover Lockhart's a fraud and he attempts to erase their memories - isn't that a HUGE crime?
- We discuss memory charms and if they should be ranked up with the unforgivable curses
- Ron is the one who tells Harry to speak Parseltongue to open the chamber - which comes back full circle in DH where he mimics Harry speaking it to go down with Hermione
- Shay wonders why Ron and Harry didn't include Fred and George on their adventure
- Lockhart causes a cave in and Harry and Ron are seperated - a very touching moment where they don't quite say anything but we get how important they are to each other

Potter Revisited Episode #33 Arachnophobia AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 15 "Aragog"
- We agree with Ron - we are not about the spiders in this chapter
- Madame Pomfrey barres students out of the hospital wing as soon as Dumbledore is gone - she doesn't trust anyone
- Malfoy is being the biggest shit in this chapter according to Tori
- Does Snape actually enjoy his job? He's a teacher as a cover to spy for Dumbledore and becomes a headmaster to spy for Voldemort but really for Dumbledore
- Malfoy keeps wondering what one of his peers will die - kind of a red flag
- Ron leaps to Hermione's defence - wish we could have gotten more of Book!Ron in the films
- Hermione's absence is very clear but Ron seems to be feeling it more than Harry in this chapter - he faces his biggest fear for her!
- Ernie owns up to being wrong and apologizes - but Ron is still holding a grudge on Harry's behalf
- Ernie admits Harry never would have done anything to Hermione - then why did he suspect him before?
- Lockhart is happy that Hagrid has been arrested - but Dean jumps to his defence. Are the other Gryffindors also close with Hagrid?
- We wouldn't blame Harry for throwing a book at Lockhart
- Shay finds it interesting that Lockhart can't see through Fudge only arresting Hagrid for good press, when he himself is almost a politician in the way he presents himself
- Were Harry and Ron not checking in or feeding Fang? Poor dog!
- They find the car - which has gone "wild" living in the forest - how did that happen?
- Giant spiders kidnap Harry, Ron and Fang - the worst kind of immersion therapy for Ron
- Tori fast-forwarded through this scene on VHS back in the day
- Shay in intrigued by Aragog saying Hagrid found him a "wife" - not a mate. Why was this done?
- Hagrid was around 13 when he was giving the egg that was Aragog - was he out in Hogsmede at the pubs drinking with strangers back then?
- Aragog has some kind of attachment for Hagrid if not love - he is very offended of Hagrid being accused of opening the chamber of secrets
- Harry stands up when Aragog declares them a meal - because he didn't want to die a coward. A true Gryffindor and a theme for Harry throughout the series
- The car finds and saves them - how does it know?
- It would have been a different series if they left Fang to the spiders...
- Ron is definitely having a panic attack and we don't blame him
- Harry pieces together the new information they gathered and comes to the conclusion that Moaning Myrtle is the girl who died 50 years ago - pretty amazing!

Potter Revisited Episode #32 An Introduction to Introductory Courses AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 14 "Cornelius Fudge"
- The Trios belief in Hagrid is admirable
- Tori is shocked about how much school Colin and Justin have missed being petrified - are their parents aware?
- Harry and friends are choosing their new courses for the next year - which is very important as we compare picking electives in High School
- Shay thinks it's smart the kids can't drop subjects at this point
- Were they given any information about the new courses? Or just going off family and friends advice?
- Hermione chooses all the subject which makes sense at this point - she has an interest in all of them but it is so irresponsible that she was allowed to take them all by messing with time - more on that next book!
- We discuss the subjects we would like to take
- Harry's part of the dorm in ransacked and the diary is missing - Is Harry more alarmed its missing because it could potentially affect Hagrid or is it the affects of the Diary being taken away from him?
- Hermione suddenly comes to a realization about everything... and doesn't tell Harry or Ron anything
- "When in doubt, go to the Library"
- Why does Hermione go off on her own without confiding with Harry and Ron? Tori explains her theory
- Quidditch is canceled and Hermione has been Petrified - the danger is really hitting close to home now
- Hermione being taken out of action really shows how much Harry and Ron rely on her and what her friendship means to them - very different from the last book
- Percy's girlfriend is also petrified and he isn't able to confide in anyone
- We both have some sympathy for Percy - the real black sheep of the Weasley family.
- Harry and Ron go to see Hagrid, and he opens the door... armed
- Shay thinks Hagrid needs to remain silent and hire a good lawyer
- We are first introduced to Cornelius Fudge and the comparison between him and Dumbledore is stark. Fudge seems more concerned about optics than if Hagrid is actually guilty or not
- Dumbledore goes off about loyalty - does he know Harry and Ron are there?
- Shay wonders if Dumbledore was able to read Harry's mind
- We discuss what we know about the Wizard justice system and if it actually works
- Shay finds that Azkaban is more like torture than a prison - would those who commit low level crimes go there? What about Hagrid- he isn't being officially charged and sentenced
- We see some characters go to prison without trial (Sirius) and the Wizengamot is what we see voting on sentencing - not an impartial jury
- How do being able to view memories and veritaserum play a part in providing evidence? Can both be tampered with?
- We cut a segment about the Trio + Ginny's careers after Hogwarts/The war and how it doesn't really stand up to how we view the characters. Let us know if you'd like some of it for a bonus episode!

- Is Harry naive of not thinking a book could be dangerous?
- We discuss Harry's attachment to the diary - could it be because they are both Horcruxes?
- We both hate Valentines' Day and Lockhart's event sounds awful
- How to Dwarves fit into the Wizarding World?
- Should Love Potions be illegal?
- Ginny's valentine to Harry is so embarrassing but so funny - unless you are Shay who can't do embarrassment
- What does Draco think Harry would write in a diary?
- Shouldn't Harry have been aware the diary seeming to write back as a Red Flag?

Potter Revisited Episode #30 Slytherin's Eat Feet AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 12 "The Polyjuice Potion"
- Robbie Coltrane has passed away - we remember how kind and thoughtful he was with the kids in the cast and how no one else could of played Hagrid the way he did
- Dumbledore's office seems like one of the more interesting locations in Hogwarts
- Shay explains why Harry would have done well in Slytherin
- Fawkes dying just as Harry was thinking what else could go wrong is great
- Dumbledore telling Harry all about Phoenixes sees like a very big hint of what is to come
- Why didn't Harry tell Dumbledore what was going on?
- Interesting that Hagrid - who respects Dumbledore a lot - burst in on him when he finds out why Harry is in trouble
- We discuss why the Weasley's have decided to go to Egypt for Christmas when they end up going there in the next book
- Tori discusses her theory of why Mr and Mrs Weasley decide to see Bill and leave the kids behind
- We discuss Crabbe and Goyle's relationship with Malfoy and why they seem to blindly follow him in everything
- Their plan seems very flawed - if one thing had gone wrong, everything would have
- Polyjuice potion sounds disgusting and the effects Harry describe are disturbing
- Shay ponders what her Polyjuice Potion would look and taste like - apparently dipping sauce
- Why didn't they figure out where the Slytherin common room was before taking the potion?
- They run into Ravenclaw Prefect Penelope Clearwater and moments later Percy - were they having a romantic meetup?
- We compare the Slytherin Common room to the Gryffindor Common room
- It shows the relationship Malfoy has with Crabbe and Goyle that he isn't suspicious of Harry and Ron impersonating them - they are a sounding board for him and he doesn't pay close attention

Potter Revisited Episode #29 Talk Snakey To Me AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 11 "The Duelling Club"
- Ron's dark humour about Dobby is on point
- Why wasn't Colin sent to St Mungo's?
- Are Colin's parents aware of what has happened to him?
- The Twins way of cheering Ginny up is very them, yet probably not the best method
- Neville refers to himself as "Almost a Squib" which is probably all his Gran's fault
- Shay wishes we could have seen the Swelling Solution chaos in the film

Potter Revisited Episode #25 Slytherins In Lamborghinis AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 7 "Mudbloods and Murmurs"
- Harry spends his time avoiding Lockhart and Colin, which we get
- Ron's wand injuries Professor Flitwick but yet, the school does nothing depite it being dangerous
- It's a miracle Ron didn't have to do exams with his broken wand
- Oliver was organized enough to book the Quidditch pitch for practice, but didn't tell the team beforehand? How did he get the girls up for practice?
- Colin has some crazy Harry Senses
- Colin shows Harry the photo of him and Lockhart, and Harry is trying to escape from view - very similar to how Harry was feeling when the photo was taken
- How exactly do photos and portraits work in the Wizarding World? How can portraits move between frames - even ones that aren't their own?
- Should the school do more to teach Muggleborns about Quidditch?
- Wood had them practice without eating breakfast - not very smart, Oliver!

- Shay discusses the Gryffindor and Slytherin play styles and how they choose their team members to fit their needs
- +1 Snape Sucks point for overruling Oliver's booked pitch despite him going through the proper channels
- Malfoy is on the Quidditch team and Lucius bought the whole team state of the art brooms - how is this allowed?
- Malfoy is known to be a very good flier - so why did he resort to buying his way onto the team?

- Hermione is affronted that Hagrid talks down about Lockhart, which is interesting for Hagrid since he always respects the Hogwarts Profs
- This book really shows the importance Hermione has to the trio + Hagrid. Hagrid refers to her as "Our Hermione" and Ron sticks up for her compared to the last novel
- Is Hagrid right that no one else applied for DADA or is that just what Dumbledore wants everyone to think?
- We love Ron being the one to give the Wizarding Society context rather than Hermione in the movies. It makes so much more sense!

- We get some foreshadowing to Hagrid being expelled
- Shay wonders if Hermione fears expulsion because she sees what Hagrid's life is like

- Ron's wand is obviously broken beyond repair and is dangerous - why didn't any of the profs do anything about it?
- How many books are these kids carrying around?
- We discuss Gilderoy Lockhart and how he is likely is a narcissist
- The conversation Gilderoy has with Harry outside Herbology is CRINGE
- How much of Gilderoy is just stuck in his own delusional world where he is the best, and how much is intentional on his part?
- Shay lists her celeb crushes she think have the best smile
- We discuss Hermione's crush on Gilderoy and how she overlooks how bad he is due to it
- We meet Colin Creevey and he's a lot
- Colin's interactions with Harry remind us of early Youtube culture where the line between "fan" and "celebrity" are very blurred
- Colin touched a nerve when he told Malfoy he was jealous. We know what you told your dad all summer, Draco!
- Gilderoy giving harry PR tips reads so much like our Influencer / MLM Culture today

Potter Revisited Episode #23 | Reading The Tree Aka Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 5 "The Whomping Willow"
- We get so many locations in this chapter - this book really focuses on expanding the Wizarding World
- Harry is loving his time at a Burrow and is jealous of Ron
- Mrs Weasley likely intentionally made the last meal before the return to school all of Harry's favourites
- We can both relate to the First Day of School mad rush
- Tori's mom could of used an enlarged car like Mr Weasley uses to transport the kids
- Ginny almost forgets the Diary - can't forget the plot point!
- Why didn't Mr or Mrs Weasley wait for Harry and Ron to go through the barrier?
- Wouldn't it be likely for a least one student to miss the train? Shouldn't there be something in place in case that happens?
- Unlike Harry and Ron, we both would have freaked out more if we missed the train to school
- Hedwig is having a rough summer, and Harry is not helping
- Both of us can't even drive, and here Ron is committing all kids of crimes while driving
- "Two Slytherin's that Can't Drive" new podcast name?
- Harry and Ron are both such Gryffindor's and 12 year olds that they don't think this through
- Shay reflects that each student should have a buddy from another house to better ground them

- We start to get hints that Snape can read minds, which comes in play later in the series
- Harry and Ron face consequences for their actions
- Snape is loving the superiority he has over Harry and Ron in this moment, where McGonagall and Dumbledore are disappointed, but hear them out
- Do Harry and Ron think McGonagall is going to curse them with her wand?
- "I didn't think-" "That is obvious." Minnie G is the G

- The punishment for Harry and Ron seems to affect Ron more since The Dursley's won't care about what Harry has done

Potter Revisited Episode #22 | The Less Sexy Red Herring Aka Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 4 "At Flourish and Blotts"
- We are back from our short break with a long episode - so get a cup of tea and a snack!
- We love how at ease Harry is at The Burrow
- Explosions from the Twins' room are seen as "normal" - were they already starting Weasley's Wizards Wheezes?
- We finally meet Ginny - we discuss Ginny's early crush on Harry and how timid her character seems compared to later in the series
- Gilderoy assigning his own books as textbook seems like a scam. Shay compares it to her Queens University days
- Percy wearing a "knitted tank top" - is it fashion?
- Hermione says she is busy with schoolwork - again we question what kind of work they can be doing outside of school if they can't do magic
- The Twins' note that Percy is acting strange. Shay declares Percy the new Red Herring of this book - but not as "Sexy as Snape" in her view
- Why did they think Harry taking Floo powder by himself on his very first time would be a good idea? Are they not able to send two smaller people together?
- Harry of course almost runs into the Malfoys when lost in Knockturn Alley - we both feel for him and remember what it was like running into peers you would rather not see on Summer holidays
- Apparently Draco has spent the whole summer complaining about Harry, and even Lucius is sick of it
- We meet Lucius Malfoy for the first time, we discuss how he comes across and how it shows how Draco is the way he is
- We see a lot of objects in Borgin and Burkes that play big parts later, particularly in HBP: The Vanishing Cabinet, The Cursed Necklace and The Hand of Glory
- Malfoy is selling dark objects to avoid scandal from Ministry raids - which includes a lot of poisons. What are the Malfoy's doing?
- Harry is rescued by Hagrid, but why was he in Knockturn Alley?
- Shay remembers why she loves Fred so much
- Hermione's parents are introduced, but they do not speak, or do much of anything. Should they have had more of a role in this chapter?
- Would you eat Strawberry and Peanut Butter flavour ice cream? We are not fans
- Ron mentions Percy wants to be Minster of Magic one day - we discuss Percy's ambition and whether it comes down to who he is fundamentally or if it began more out of necessity as he doesn't want to be in the same financial state as his parents
- We agree Lockhart is the OG Influencer
- Ginny speaks up for Harry despite her crush on him usually debilitating her - showing us the beginning of her strength
- Was Lucius slipping Ginny the Diary politically motivated? He is firmly against Arthur's Muggle Protection Act and figured if Ginny got caught it would look bad on him, like Dumbledore reflects at the end of the book
- We wish we could have seem Jason Isaacs and Mark Williams duke it out on screen like Mr Malfoy and Mr Weasley did in the book
- What would Hermione's parents be thinking after all of these? They are described as shaking
- Lucius didn't know the Diary was a Horcurx, but probably knew it would open the Chamber of Secrets - was it supposed to be given to someone who didn't know what it was, or would it have worked out better if someone had it who wanted the Chamber open and knew what it was?
- We know from Dobby that Lucius had been planning the Chamber opening - was he planning Ginny the whole time, or was it a moment of opportunity?

- Tori reminisces about her house being "The Hub" like the Weasley's when growing up
- Did Fred and George come because they were concerned about Harry like Ron, or because they wanted to have an adventure?
- Fred and George are about 14 at the moment - we wonder what the UK driving age is - and how they would even know how to drive a car being Wizards
- How did no Muggles notice a flying car? Does no one get up for water at 2AM?
- Fred and George can pick locks - is this in the realm for the Twins' or too convenient?
- We discuss how the Twins both have creative brains with how they think, especially for Wizards - which definitly helps them with their future endeavors
- Shay brings up how disturbing it feels having the Twins discuss Dobby by who "Owns him" and how it highlights how House Elves are treated in Wizarding society as we view the Weasleys' as "Good" moral characters
- What kind of Magic do House Elves have? Is it similar to Goblins?
- Can we all agree Wizard Society is messed up?
- The Twins and Harry accurately guess Dobby belongs to The Malfoys - is that too convient of a leap?
- Why do Mr Weasley's kids not care about his job? It seems very important. Tori compares it to her Dad working as an accountant
- For someone who writes laws and works for the Government, Mr Weasley takes a lot of risks breaking the laws he writes
- We discuss our first thoughts about The Burrow! Shay loves the cozy vibes it gives, and Tori loves the description of a farm house with wacky extensions added on top
- Tori questions if all Magical residents have names, like The Burrow, and Shay explains it is likely an English tradition
- Does Mrs Weasley constantly comparing the Twins to Percy strain their relationship with him?
- We discuss Fred and George's dynamic within the Weasley Family, and the greater Weasley Family dynamic with each other
- We get our first glimpse of Ginny! We are both looking forward to see her development that was missed in the films
- We also appreciate how different Ginny is compared to Hermione

- We get our first Mundungus Fletcher name drop from Mr Weasley - doing crime as usual
- Tori compares Ron's love of The Chudley Cannons to Toronto Maple Leaf fans - right comparison or way off?
- Shay relates to Ron's blind faith in a sport team, speaking from experience as a Montreal Canadiens fan
- How did the Weasley's get a Ghoul in the attic? Also good to note Ron claims the Ghoul is useless but it does come in handy during DH
- Ron seems so worried about Harry's opinion of his house since Ron tends to view not being financially well off as a flaw
- One of Shay's favourite part of The Burrow is the family clock. How did the Weasley's get it?
- Tori theorizes it was made during wartime so Mrs Weasley was able to keep an eye on her loved ones when times were uncertain
- Did Fred's hand fall off the clock when he died?
- Both Tori and Shay are still traumatized by Fred's death. Let us know if you are too!

Potter Revisited Episode #20 | Dobby Will Eat Your Skin Off Aka Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 2 "Dobby's Warning"
- We are finally introduced to House Elves in this chapter - which play a big role in the series, from Dobby, Winky and Kreacher, to Hermione's character development
- Shay finds Dobby's entrance stressful as this is the worst time for Harry to have his magical world invade his life with The Dursley's
- Why does Harry have such good manners?
- Dobby tells Harry that Voldemort has powers that no decent Wizard would have - Shay wonders if Dobby is aware of the Horcurxes or at least the diary being a Horcrux
- Harry is the worst at taking compliments
- What was Dobby's logic in stopping Harry's letters from being received?
- Why was no adult concerned about Harry not responding? #WhyDumbledore
- Shay mentions it is a federal crime to tamper with someone's mail - would Dobby be sent to Azkaban, or is that a Wizard-Only prison?
- Why doesn't Harry just lie to Dobby and say he won't go back to school?
- We learn Pudding in the UK = Dessert
- Harry receives a letter by owl from the Ministry to tell him off for using Magic in front of Muggles - yet this letter comes by magic, in front of said Muggles??
- Is the Ministry not able to detect Magic done by a Wizard vs Magical Creature?
- How did Vernon get someone to put bars on Harry's window? Wouldn't it be a fire safety issue? Wouldn't the neighbors talk?
- Harry is literally being starved and imprisoned but won't use Magic to save his life because he is too scared to be kicked out of school. All the adults failed him
- When all the adults fail him, Ron to the rescue
- Shay says she hates Dobby at the beginning of the book, he causes just too much anxiety
- Why did Dobby come to warn Harry?
- Dobby is one of the most self-aware House Elves we meet in the series
- How do House Elves get tied to a family?
- We touch a little on the slavery comparison of House Elves, and how the series shows us an outside perspective (Hermione) on how wrong it is, and the perspective of those who are just use to it being that way (Ron, ect)
- Right off the bat, Harry asks Dobby how he can free him - does he relate to Dobby having to be in a likely abusive household like himself?
- How does Dobby know about how great Harry and Dumbledore are? The Malfoy's aren't their biggest fans after all...
- Could Dobby have given Harry a bigger hint that this was a Voldemort plot?
- Shay doesn't find Dobby very empathetic to Harry's situation
- Tori shares the context behind the episode title - involving Potter Puppet Pals
- We are looking forward to jumping back into the Magical World next chapter and exploring The Burrow!

- Harry is having the worst time with the Dursley's - no surprise there. But poor Hedwig is locked in her cage - Tori worries about her wellbeing
- Tori questions the fatphobia - specifically around the Dursley's - in the books which seems more jarring reading it now as an adult in 2022 than as a child in the early 2000's
- Shay finds it amusing that the Dursley's are so afraid of Harry, yet he has barely done any spells by this point
- We both talk about the previous book recaps we get, especially in the earlier books and if it is necessary
- Shay wonders if it is a product of the times and discusses her own reading journey
- This turns into a discussion on how reading was taught to us at school
- Why does Hogwarts assign Summer Homework? What does that entail, and is it graded? Wouldn't it be unfair for students with Muggle families?
- Why did they keep Harry in his room when the Mason's were coming over? Why didn't they send him to Ms. Figg's or the park - somewhere away from the house?

- Sassy Harry is back with "Well done! You've finally learned the day's of the week!"

- Penunia tries to hit him with a frying pan

Potter Revisited Episode #17 | Literary Whiplash Aka Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 17 "The Man With Two Faces"
- we LOVE the opening line to this chapter!
- Tori feels bad for Hagrid - despite the times we challenge him on not be responsible, his heart is usually in the right place
- Quirrell seems to do wandless magic - is this an oversight?
- Quirrell reveals that Snape and James Potter hated each other at school, which is why Snape hates Harry, which seems to be an unintentional secret as so many know about it
- We discuss what little we know about James Potter as a character and where the truth about him is
- Snape's memories show the worst of James, where Sirius and Remus usually gloss over the bad parts and focus on the good
- Tori loves the marauder's fandom and the ability it gives to create your own version of James Potter
- "There is no 'good' and 'evil', only power and those too weak to seek it." Really shows how Voldemort sees the world
- Harry faces Voldemort for the first time and sees right through him - Dumbledore's man already
- At what point in the novel did Voldemort attach to the back of Quirrell's head?
- The way Voldemort is described is very creepy
- Could Harry being a Horcrux explain how Harry hurt Quirrell, rather the "love" as Dumbledore tells him? Tori discusses her theory
- Dumbledore tells Harry he was doing very well on his own - yet he was in a coma for 3 days? #WhyDumbledore
- Is Dumbledore trying to downplay dying for the Cause since he knows it is likely Harry may have to die?
- Shay wonders how everyone found out what happened between Harry and Quirrell? Did Dumbledore spread it around?
- Shay ponders why Dumbledore tells Harry to say "Voldemort" when his real name is Tom Riddle
- How does Lily's Sacrifice work?
- Would Voldemort have actually spared Lily?
- Could Dumbledore have given Harry an age appropriate answer to why Voldemort tried to kill him? He keeps him in the dark for so long
- Why does Dumbledore gloss over James and Snape's rivrary?
- Ron wonders if Dumbledore meant for Harry to save the stone - and Harry likes the idea. Is this showing Dumbledore manipulating him already?
- Tori loves the photo album Hagrid made for Harry
- Could Harry have contacted all the old school friend Hagrid contacted for the Photos? Shay thinks Dumbledore wouldn't have allowed it due to it interfering with his relationship with Harry and not wanting him to get information outside of him
- We love the final feast, but feel slightly bad that Slytherin lost the house cup because Dumbledore changed the rules at the last minute. This is their Villain Origin Story
- We discuss our overall opinions and thoughts on the first Harry Potter Book!

Potter Revisited Episode #16 | Tickle The Squid Aka Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 16 "Through The Trapdoor"
- Harry, Ron and Hermione sit their exams, including making a pineapple tapdance (Charms), turn a mouse into a snuffbox (Transfiguration) and brew a forgetfulness potion (Potions)

- Interesting comparison to Harry writing his History of Magic exam expecting Voldemort to burst in, and writing his History of Magic OWL in book 5, where he has a vision about Voldemort and Sirius
- Hermione studied the 1637 Werewolf Code of Conduct - could this be a hint to her being the first to discover Prof Lupin out in POA?

- Harry is able to clue things together very quickly despite having the wrong person
- Our first mention of The Hogs Head
- Shay worries about Hargid's drinking - and brings up the serious discussion on Giant anatomy and if Hagrid's liver is ok
- "...Up to something..." Shay reads this in Alan Rickman's voice- don't we all?
- Harry's scar has been hurting more frequently since the Forest - he is able to pick up very quickly that it means something
- Dumbledore leaving for the Ministry seems too convenient - couldn't he see through it? Or did he leave intentionally?
- Harry quickly goes from caring a lot about House Points and how his peers view him, to not caring at all and putting the state of the world on his shoulders - he is 11!
- Ron stating that him AND Hermione will join him comes back around in the later books. This small moment seals all their fates together.
- What lead Neville towards standing up to Harry, Ron and Hermione?
- If they had the time to explain what they were up to, would Neville join them?
- Hermione fully binds Neville - seems a bit extreme
- "There's no wood!" Hermione is not good under pressure
- How would they have dealt with the Troll if Quirrell didn't leave it unconcious?
- Snape picks a logic-based task instead of a magical one - what does that say about his character?
- We love how this chapter leads off and opens in the next!
- Theory: Dumbledore wanted Harry and co to save the stone.
- Shay discusses a fan theory from Super Carlin Brothers where Dumbledore intends for Harry and friends to rescue the stone, and the events in the book that were him manipulating or setting Harry up for this
- Did Dumbledore instruct each professor to make their obstacle a certain way, keeping Harry in mind?
- Was Hagrid revealing how to tame Fluffy a part of Dumbledore's plan?
- Did Dumbledore want Harry to rescue the stone and face Voldemort as a test?
