#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
Snape Sucks total for Chapter 21: 1

#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?

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

Thursday Oct 12, 2023

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

#53 The Unjustice Of The Justice System | PoA 16, Professor Trelawney’s Prediction

Thursday Sep 28, 2023

Potter Revisited Episode #53 Unjustice of the Justice System AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 16 "Professor Trelawney's Prediction"

Harry's excitement of winning the Quidditch cup lasts until Exam Season hits
What is with the Pumpkin Juice in the series?
Writing two exams every day sounds exhausting and stressful
The Ministry is coming to Hogwarts to do Buckbeak's appeal and they are bringing an executioner with them - The Trio are really getting a first hand look at how corrupt the Ministry is
Draco was butthurt on losing against Harry in Quidditch but is now getting all excited about getting an innocent creature killed...
We discuss all the exams the Trio have - is it weird that they need to partner with each other for examinations? Wouldn't that cause a lot of stress or issues if something goes wrong
+1 Snape Sucks for Snape glowering at Harry while he is trying to complete is examination
The best exam has to be Lupin's practical exam - which really puts what the kids have learned throughout the year into practice
This exam really starts to show Harry's brilliance in DADA as he is apply to put what he learned into real world application, compared to Hermione who struggles under pressure
Ron ready to fight the Minister of Magic over the appeal is great
The Divination exam is done privately which we both agree is preferred for examinations
Shay feels like Harry should of predicted his own death for top marks
Harry makes up seeing Buckbeak and goes against Trelawney wanting blood, death and drama
Harry predicts Buckbeak flying away... Harry a Seer Confirmed?
Trelawney goes into a trance and predicts makes a prediction about Voldemort - do all Seers not remember the prophecies made?
Does Sirius breaking out to go after Peter cause the prediction to come true?
Should Harry have told Dumbledore about the prediction?
Hagrid loss the appeal and Buckbeak is set to be executed, poor Hagrid
Scabbers is found alive and hiding in a milk jug - why did he pick there of all places to hid?
Despite everything going on Hagrid tries to be the responsible adult and tells the kids to leave before the execution takes place
The Trio try and leave quickly but Scabbers is causing issues - can Peter sense that Sirius is nearby?
The chapter ends with Buckbeak appearing to have been executed and the trios disbelief - really capturing the loss of innocence

#52 Uncharacteristically A Badass | PoA 15, The Quidditch Final

Wednesday Sep 13, 2023

Potter Revisited Episode #52 Uncharacteristically A Badass AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 15 "The Quidditch Final"

Is Ron's willingness to help Hermione with the appeal after everything they've been through what makes her break?
Shay finds the corruption involved in Buckbeak's case disgusting
Draco knows he was in the wrong but not even ashamed about an animal dying and Hagrid being upset
Hermione takes out all her frustration and slaps Draco in the face!
Is learning how corrupt the justice system / Ministry of Magic is hard for Hermione to handle?
We are in agreement that Hermione is unhinged sometimes
Shay finds the dark side of Cheering Charms as they could be used to manipulate a person
Hermione's starting to crack - forgetting to go to Charms
The Divination lesson is different this time around since Hermione doesn't seem to care and joins in with Harry and Ron's jokes
Trelawney tells Hermione to her face she is basically useless at this subject - we discuss how we would react if a teacher told us that
Hermione makes a huge scene and storms out of the classroom - which Trelawney claims to have predicted in the first class
The Quidditch final is approaching and the school has gone crazy
Shay compares how the Quidditch playoffs are scored compared to the NHL Staney Cup and how weird it is
Tori discuss the competitive energy around the school and if it is healthy, as well as causing more house divides
Does Dumbledore love the drama of it all?
The gameplay in this chapter is great, as well as Lee's commentary
Snape actually wore a colour to the match - he is just as invested as McGonagall
There are a lot of dirty moves and fouls in this match
Gryffindor wins the cup and Oliver Wood has achieved his life goal
We compare Hermione slapping Malfoy in the book to Hermione punching Malfoy in the film and what works better

#51 I Have Regrets | PoA 14, Snape’s Grudge

Thursday Aug 31, 2023

Potter Revisited Episode #51 Snape's Grudge AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 14 "Snape's Grudge"

They are finally tightening security - why wasn't this done the first time Sirius Black broke in?
Ron has become an instant celebrity for almost being murdered - a Hogwarts thing?
Neville's punishment is very harsh - is it really all his fault?
Hagrid is acting like a responsible adult
Is Hagrid a hypocrite asking Ron to forgive Hermione?
Ron convinces Harry to sneak into Hogsmede for the next weekend despite Ron's near death experience and Harry being the prime target - do they ever think?
Shay finds Hermione unlikable for threatening to tell on Harry and Ron on their Hogsmede Plan - but is it just Hermione's character?
Hermione's less likeable traits are really ignored in the films - especially PoA
When Harry goes to sneak into Hogsmede, Snape finds him - does he suspect the entrance?
The Malfoy / Harry mud fight is so fun and amusing
Despite Harry's mad dash back to the castle, he is caught by Snape and is so very obviously guilty
Shay finds Snape's dialogue so funny
Harry is obviously guilty and in trouble but Snape brings up James Potter for no reason and uses him against Harry
+1 Snape Sucks
Shay has a lot of sympathy for Snape and how he is undercover and working to save Harry's life while Harry is out putting himself in danger
Tori has very little if any sympathy for Snape
Snape is telling Harry a very different version to his father than he has been told - which opens up the idea to Harry that his parents not might be what he imagined them
Snape finds the Marauders Map and when trying to work it, it insults him. What insult do you think is best?
Both Tori and Shay discuss what Lupin's internal reaction would be to seeing Harry with the Marauders Map
Shay thinks Lupin is regretting the choices he made as a Marauder. Lupin's past is really coming to get him
Lupin tells Harry and Ron off for going out, bringing up Harry's parents - is he manipulating Harry?
Is Lupin projecting his feelings about not telling Dumbledore about Sirius or the map and taking it out on Harry?
Hermione comes in at the end to rain on the already terrible parade that Hagrid lost his case

#50 Broom Go Vroom | PoA 13, Gryffindor VS Ravenclaw

Wednesday Aug 16, 2023

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
