#54 Accusatory Whiplash | PoA 17, Cat, Rat & Dog

Potter Revisited Episode #54 Accusatory Whiplash AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 17 "Cat, Rat & Dog"

• This chapter has so much great buildup and reveals
• Is Buckbeak actually dead in this timeline? 
• Ron pushing Harry out of the way of the giant dog - MVP move
• Is Ron pushing Harry out of the way his own will? Or is it the Horcrux in Harry causing him to protect him 
• Ron's leg breaking is still hard to read
•  Harry's reasoning to not go for help - "That thing is big enough to eat him!" 
• Why don't the trio ever split up? Hermione could of gone for help while Harry went after Ron 
• The Shrieking Shack reveal is great 
• Was the tunnel to the Shrieking Shack made for Lupin like the Whomping Willow was planted, or was it already there and repurposed?
• The Sirius Black reveal - also amazing! 
• Sirius doesn't do himself any favours being super vague 
• Harry has a voice telling him to kill Black - is this his own inner voice or the Horcrux inside him? 
• Ron's line "If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too!" is such a great Ron moment and it doesn't make sense why Hermione got it in the movie
• Does Harry even know how to kill someone with a wand? 
• 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 
• The short conversation Lupin has with Sirius before they hug really shows how close they were before
• The emotions Lupin must have gone through thinking Sirius was bad all this time, and then learning that he was actually framed
• 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
