#38 Tickled At The Stake | PoA 1, Owl Post

Wednesday Mar 01, 2023

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!

#36 You Meddling Kids! | CoS 18, Dobby’s Reward

Wednesday Feb 01, 2023

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
Dobby being accidentally freed by Lucius is the best justice - especially when Dobby is able to use his magic against him
Harry asks Dobby to promise not the save him anymore, which is how Dobby unfortunately meets his end
Why is Hermione upset exams have been canceled? She is in no way prepared for them
Everyone including the teachers are happy Lockhart isn't returning as DADA prof - showing how much his popularity has fallen from the beginning on the book
Percy's secret is revealed: He has a girlfriend!
How did Percy keep his relationship a secret at school?
We discuss our overall thoughts on Chamber of Secrets and our favourites
Power & OWL Character rankings
Snape Suck Total: 4 - Overall Series Total: 8

#35 How Come You’ve Got A Sword? | CoS 17, The Heir of Slytherin

Thursday Jan 19, 2023

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

#34 Lockhart Only Sees What’s In The Mirror | CoS 16, The Chamber of Secrets

Wednesday Dec 21, 2022

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

#33 Arachnophobia | CoS 15, Aragog

Wednesday Dec 07, 2022

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!

#32 An Introduction to Introductory Courses | CoS 14, Cornelius Fudge

Wednesday Nov 23, 2022

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!

#31 Smarmiest Git | CoS 13, The Very Secret Diary

Monday Nov 14, 2022

Potter Revisited Episode #31 Smarmiest Git AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 13 "The Very Secret Diary"

Hermione spend a lot of time in the Hospital Wing in this book
Shay roasts Lockhart's get well card to Hermione
Ron seems to be very upset about Hermione's crush on Gilderoy Lockhart - we discuss the stages the trio are at
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?
Our first instance of going into people's memories - which plays a big part later in the series
We find out why Hagrid was expelled
We talk about the diaries we kept as kids, and what memories of ours we would like to revisit

#30 Slytherin’s Eat Feet | Cos 12, The Polyjuice Potion

Wednesday Oct 26, 2022

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
Shay ponders who sets the password for the common-rooms and how Slytherin house was able to have Pureblood be one - discussing the lack of guidance the house gets
Tori talks about the sinister moment where Malfoy hopes Hermione dies
Hermione has turned into a cat - and Shay thinks Madame Pomfrey is the MVP of Hogwarts
Shay discusses Phoenixes, what the represent in the series related to Harry
Could Harry have become an Animagi? Tori discusses old theories from the past
