#63 Petty Floor Cake | GoF 3, The Invitation

Wednesday Feb 28, 2024

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
Shay breaks down the cost of what the world cup tickets could cost
Despite not being overly ambitious and climbing the corporate ladder, Arthur is obviously well respected in the Ministry
We touch on Ludo not being great at his job and how being semi famous in the sports world is a relatable phenomenon
The chapter ends with Harry in really high spirits, excited to see a real professional quidditch game with his friends, and this is probably the last time we see Harry so carefree

#62 By The Way, This is a Harry Potter Book | GoF 2, The Scar

Thursday Feb 15, 2024

Potter Revisited Episode #62 By The Way, This is a Harry Potter Book AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 2 "The Scar"

We are back with Harry and the usual book recap chapter
Why does GoF have a recap chapter? Does it really need it?
Harry doesn't describe seeing the "dream" from Voldemort's perspective - is this a mistake?
Tori learns the definition of Fortnight
Harry imagining Ron and Hermione's reactions to his scar hurting is relatable
Harry imagining Dumbledore on a beach somewhere is a great image
Harry can't let Fred & George think of him as less than
Harry sees Sirius as kind of a parental figure but isn't as vulnerable as one generally would be with a parent
Harry seems to be more vulnerable with Lupin at this point than Sirius
Sirius is still kind of mysterious in GoF - we don't really get much of Sirius' true character until OOTP
Because this chapter is so short and gives us basically nothing, we discuss what we think the Profs get up to during the holidays
Does McGonagall spend the summer as a cat? Does secret Quidditch scouting?
Does Flitwick enter dueling tournaments?
Does Trelawney ever leave her office?

#61 Frank Bryce and the... Oops, He's Dead | GoF 1, The Riddle House

Wednesday Jan 31, 2024

Potter Revisited Episode #61 Frank Bryce and the... Oops! He's Dead AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 1 "The Riddle House"

We begin Goblet of Fire! We are both so excited for this book and the darker tone the series takes from here
We answer our first listener question - why do we think Harry is an idiot?
Tori brings up some fun GoF facts, including a Weasley character that was eventually scrapped from the book
Tori brings up a childhood memory of reading this book for a book report - and her mom not believing she could finish it in time
This is one of the few chapters we get that is not through Harry's perspective and Shay loves it
We get the life story of Muggle Frank Bryce as well as some backstory on the Riddle family
Tori wonders how Voldemort is currently existing
Wormtail is basically keeping Voldemort alive yet he is treated so poorly - it really shows how little self esteem Peter has that he just doesn't leave
Voldemort mentions his faithful servant at Hogwarts - foreshadowing the next mystery for the readers to solve
The tone in the first chapter already is a lot darker than the first three books
We are introduced to Frank and then he is murdered - does this foreshadowing more deaths to come?
Shay loves this chapter and they way it is written

#58 Daddy Issues | PoA 21, Hermione’s Secret

Thursday Dec 07, 2023

Potter Revisited Episode #58 Daddy Issues AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 21 "Hermione's Secret"

Shay starts off the episode defending Snape has he gives his version of events to the Minister of Magic
Snape lowkey throwing Dumbledore under the bus is the only thing Tori commends him for
Interesting how Fudge talks about having a blindspot for Harry - as he stops once Harry isn't useful to him politically
Snape: I treat Harry Potter like any other student Tori: LIAR. +1 Snape Sucks
Madame Pomfrey deserves better
Snape knows Dumbledore is about to scew him over again
This is the first time Dumbledore can't fix something for Harry - but could Dumbledore have done something?
Classic Dumbledore sending kids to go do his dirty work
Time Travel does not make any sense in this book
Again, the idea that Hermione was given a way to go back in time to do more schoolwork is crazy
Tori feels like the way time travel is used in this book reads too much like a plot device
Shay wonders if Dumbledore abuses Time Travel for personal use as he seems to know too much
Harry thinks he saw his Dad and he could be alive
A lot of this book as Harry really yearning for his dad / a father figure and it makes so much sense that his Patronus is his dad's animagus form
Does the pacing of this chapter work?
Shay talks about Snape's feelings at the end of the chapter and how Dumbledore screws him over
Tori brings up how time travel was used in the cursed play we don't talk about

#57 Pucker Up For Your Lobotomy | PoA 20, The Dementor’s Kiss

Wednesday Nov 22, 2023

Potter Revisited Episode #57 Pucker Up For Your Lobotomy AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 20 "The Dementor's Kiss"

The first thing Sirius does when getting out of the Shrieking Shack is asking Harry to live with him... and Harry is all for it despite only knowing him for a few hours and thinking he was a murderer for most of them
How would Harry living with Sirius affect the series?
Everyone forgets Lupin hasn't taken his potion
The passage where Lupin is transforming into a werewolf is written in a cool way - showing how he loses his personality and humanity once he is the wolf
Sirius tells Harry and Hermione to run but Ron is still chained to Pettigrew and Lupin
Classic Hermione instinct is to go to the castle for help, but Harry runs after Sirius and a werewolf instead
Harry's happy thought is living with Sirius and leaving the Dursley's - sad to think this never happens
Does it make sense for Hermione not to have at least learned the patronus charm a little?
The description of the Dementor's trying to suck Harry and Sirius' soul is very creepy
Does the Dementor's trying to take Harry's soul show they are already outside of Ministry control?
Are the dementor's drawn to Harry because of the misery of his past or because he has an extra soul?
Shay brings up the issue she has with it being called the "Dementor's Kiss" what are some better alternatives?
Just before Harry passes out - he thinks he sees his father. Tori discusses the old "James Survived" fan theory
Shay dusts off her Psychology BA again to discuss the trauma Harry has with seeing Sirius having almost have his soul sucked out
What would of happened if Sirius was cleared in PoA and how would it affect the series?

#56 High School Reunion | PoA 19, The Servant of Lord Voldemort

Wednesday Nov 08, 2023

Potter Revisited Episode #56 High school Reunion AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 19 "The Servant of Lord Voldemort"

Snape has a very dramatic reveal
Having Snape, Lupin and Sirius Black all in one room is really a high school reunion
Slight foreshadowing that Lupin hasn't taken his potion
Snape has no chill this chapter - seeing Sirius and Lupin seems to make him lose control
Snape literally threatens to kill Sirius on sight
Interesting that it is Hermione who tries to reason with Snape despite him still being an authority figure to her
Is the anger Snape has due to seeing his childhood enemies or is it seeing who he thinks to be the person who lead to Lily's death?
Snape threatens to give Sirius over to the Dementors along with Lupin - what kind of crime has Lupin committed that would warrant the Dementor's Kiss?
Snape only refers to Lupin as "wolf" or "werewolf" in this chapter - does this show his bigotry?
+1 Snape Sucks for taking out his anger with Sirius/Lupin/James on Harry who is only caught in the middle of a strange situation
Snape says that James was arrogant because his trust in Sirius - does this show Snape's emotional immaturity?
Harry, Ron and Hermione all jinxing Snape at the same time is great
Hearing Sirius describe his relationship with James and Lily and the impact of losing them really strikes a cord
Sirius being able to communicate with Crookshanks is amazing - could being a Pet Whisperer be a job?
The moment Harry confirms he believes Sirius is such a pivotal moment
Peter is described as looking rat-like - is this due to living as a rat for years or did he always have those features?
Do Animagi choose their forms, or are they based on their core personality traits?
Ron's biggest concern - he shared a bed with a grown man????
Peter is a weak person with no morals - he grasps on to any straws to save his skin. It is disgusting the way he tries to use his relationship with James as a way to appeal to Harry
Wormtail says James would of forgiven him - do we really believe that?
Discussion Topic: If Snape had heard Sirius and Remus out, how would the Peter situation be handled?

#55 Lycanthropy? More like Likes-His-Therapy | PoA 18, Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

Thursday Oct 26, 2023

Potter Revisited Episode #55 Lycanthropy? More like Likes-His-Therapy AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 18 "Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs"

Thank goodness for Lupin - without him to help make the trio feel comfortable and explain the backstory it would of lead to a lot of issues and conflict
It's a good thing Lupin didn't let Sirius kill "Scabbers" in front of Ron
Lupin treating this conversation like they are in the classroom really helps Hermione remain calm
Learning that Lupin was bite so young and had to learn responsibility as a young child is hard to hear - and explains why he was so easily swayed by his friends at school
Did Dumbledore manipulate Lupin? Lupin feels immense guilt for not telling Dumbledore about Sirius and for what he got up to at school
The "trick" Sirius plays on Snape - how could Lupin forgive him?
Lupin thinks Snape was jealous of James - was he or was it deeper than that?
Snape's dramatic entrance
Why has no one helped Ron with his broken leg yet?
Shay discusses how self reflective and grounded Lupin is - is he the most grounded character in the series?
Does Dumbledore collect emotionally deprived people on purpose?
Did Dumbledore let Sirius stay in jail because it would mess up his plans?
