#21 Weasley Grand Theft Auto | CoS 3, The Burrow

Potter Revisited Episode #21 | Weasley Grand Theft Auto Aka Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 3 "The Burrow"

• 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
• Tori's image of The Burrow has changed slightly after learning "Garden" usually means "Backyard" in the UK 
• 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!
