#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

Tuesday Oct 11, 2022

Potter Revisited Episode #29 Talk Snakey To Me AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 11 "The Duelling Club"

Ron's dark humour about Dobby is on point
Why wasn't Colin sent to St Mungo's?
Are Colin's parents aware of what has happened to him?
The Twins way of cheering Ginny up is very them, yet probably not the best method
Neville refers to himself as "Almost a Squib" which is probably all his Gran's fault
Shay wishes we could have seen the Swelling Solution chaos in the film
Harry is very lucky that Goyle's potion actually did what it was supposed to
What profs would have been a better choice to run the duelling club?
Did Dumbledore actually ask Lockhart to set up the Duelling Club or is that what Lockhart wants everyone to think?
Snape is the one who taught Harry is signature spell
Having a bunch of inexperienced kids just duel each other with little instruction and guidance seems like such a bad idea
+1 Snape Suck count for Snape outing Neville as being incompetent in front of the whole school
Did Snape have any intentions having Draco use the snake spell on Harry?
We discuss how Parseltongue is more than just being able to speak and understand snakes
Overhearing people talk about you - especially when it's wrong is the worst!
Why didn't Harry tell the Hufflepuff's he is friends with Hermione?
Does Hagrid have to get permission from Dumbledore everytime he uses magic?
The way Nick is described when petrified is very eerie
Harry is always in the wrong place at the wrong time
We discuss how snakes are portrayed in literature and how it is used in the series

Are their similar gifts like parseltongue for other animals?

#28 Fragile Ego and Deep Delusions | CoS 10, The Rogue Bludger

Wednesday Sep 28, 2022

Potter Revisited Episode #28 Fragile Ego and Deep Delusions AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 10 "The Rogue Bludger"

It is a good thing exams were canceled this year - everyone is learning nothing in Lockhart's class
Why does Lockhart single Harry out? Is it because he sees them as both being "celebrities" or that he wants to humiliate him?
Hermione's crush and belief in Lockhart has her jumping through many hurdles - we discuss how it is in her character at this point
We discuss Lockhart's ego and deluded fantasy he lives in, where he constantly makes himself look bad but doesn't or isn't able to comprehend it
Shay has issues with how the trio are just given a dangerous and likely valuable book and able to take it from the safety of the library
Dark!Hermione comes out when she convinces/manipulates Harry and Ron to continue with the plan
The Slytherin VS Gryffindor Quidditch game is approaching and Oliver is going a bit over the top with the "win or die" pep talk
Fred and George are very good team members, and have very good people skills
Why did no one besides the Twins notice the Bludger focusing on Harry?
Why didn't they tell Madame Hooch about the fixed Bludger? Would it really count as a forfeit?
The Team, especially Fred & George ganging up on Oliver is so great
Draco isn't really playing the game - it seems like he just joined the team to one up Harry and for attention
Shay is very concerned about the medical negligence Lockhart commits "fixing" Harry's arm without his consent
It is a big red flag that Lockhart is still employed after causing a medical injury to a student
Madam Pomfrey is so over Dumbledore and his choices
Malfoy gets his karma by being told off by Flint
Dobby is exposed
Dobby has the best intentions with the worst results
Hearing about Dobby's punishments is very jarring as a adult than reading it as a child
How does Dobby not touch clothes in his day to day job?
Is Harry bringing up Hermione being Muggleborn foreshadowing Hermione being attacked later on?
Colin is found Petrified by either McGonagall or Dumbledore - it is contradicted in the same page
Is Dumbledore revealing this information knowing that Harry is listening?
Wouldn't it be more likely for there to be more true heir of Slytherin's? Seems unlikely that their is only one (Tom Riddle)
On off topic news, US Quidditch and Major League Quidditch changed their sport name to QuadBall and we discuss the implications and future of it

#27 Whodunnit? | CoS 9, The Writing On The Wall

Wednesday Sep 14, 2022

Potter Revisited Episode #27 Whodunnit? AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 9 "The Writing On The Wall"

Tori adopted a little black cat Nimbus - see our instagram for pictures! Shay also has a dog named Nimbus
Both Tori and Shay understand Filch's grief and anger over something terrible happening to his pet
Did Filch really think Harry could have done this to Mrs Norris?
How many times can we butcher saying "Mrs Norris" this episode?
Shay finds it interesting that McGonagall and Snape go with Dumbledore while Flitwick and Sprout stay behind
Was McGonagall friends with Mrs Norris in her cat form?
Why does Snape have a smile when seeing Mrs Norris? Shay lists some potential reasons
+1 Snape Sucks count for Snape trying to get Harry in trouble despite their being no way Harry could have petrified Mrs Norris
Why didn't Harry tell the truth about hearing something? Was it really that big of a deal?
We get the Founders backstory and discuss it's lore and how Slytherin's fears could have been dealt with
The Trio is the Scooby Gang - immediately looking for clues once alone at the scene of the crime
Ron's spider phobia is very relatable and it is such a testament to his character on how much he faces it throughout this novel
**SH Trigger**
Myrtle references going to the washroom to kill herself, and it is kind of played for laughs both in the book and in the movie - it feels like a pretty big red flag
Is Ginny aware of what is happening to her yet, and if it is the diary?
Was Madam Pince asked to remove copies of Hogwarts a History off the shelves to prevent students reading up on it?
We discuss the Ghost Teacher, Professor Binns - is he actually a good teacher?
Is Hermione wanting to break the rules for the plan because it involves people like her?
Why is the school so quick to jump to Harry being the culprit?
Shay discusses the possible suspects for the heir of Slytherin (as if we don't know the ending)

#26 How To Become A Ghost | CoS 8, The Deathday Party

Thursday Sep 01, 2022

Potter Revisited Episode #26 How To Be A Ghost AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 8 "The Deathday Party"

We enter into Fall in CoS and it's Shay's favourite time of year
We discuss the Pepperup potion and if we would take it
We love the idea of Fred & George spying on Slytherin
Shay wonders why no rich Gryffindors bought their team new brooms
Oliver's training its getting progressively more intense
We discuss Nick and the Headless Hunt
Filch and Mrs Norris have a very strong connection - could it be magical?
Filch is working while having the flu - does Dumbledore not give him sick days?
Why did Dumbledore hire Filch? He always has some motive for his hires
Tori wonders how Squibs work - do they have no magic, or some magic?
Kwikspell sounds like a huge scam
Interesting foreshadowing when Peeves knocks over the vanishing cabinet - which comes back to play in OOTP and HBP
Nick basically manipulates Harry into agreeing to attend his Deathday Party
Shay agrees the Deathday party is interesting but she would make sure to eat dinner before
Interesting that Nick knows inviting Harry means also inviting Hermione and Ron
We love this random passage of Fred and George feeding a firework to a Salamander
We discuss the Deathday party - and Shay isn't a fan of the music choice
We discuss Ghosts and the rules surrounding them and how they are governed
We meet Moaning Myrtle and why no one seems to have done anything to help her
Harry hears the voice after leaving the Deathday party - interesting that he is both scared but excited
It really shows the faith and friendship Ron and Hermione have in Harry as they follow him despite not being able to hear the voice
The trio stumble upton petrified Mrs Norris and the writing on the wall
Shay discusses how scary this could be for children reading
We begin a deep discussion on Ghosts in the Wizarding World and how they work
How does one become a Ghost? Nick says it's a choice - is it forever? What about children that die?
Shay wonders why Fred and others from the Battle of Hogwarts
Why would once choice to become a ghost?

#25 Slytherins In Lamborghinis | CoS 7, Mudbloods and Murmurs

Wednesday Aug 17, 2022

Potter Revisited Episode #25 Slytherins In Lamborghinis AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 7 "Mudbloods and Murmurs"

Harry spends his time avoiding Lockhart and Colin, which we get
Ron's wand injuries Professor Flitwick but yet, the school does nothing depite it being dangerous
It's a miracle Ron didn't have to do exams with his broken wand
Oliver was organized enough to book the Quidditch pitch for practice, but didn't tell the team beforehand? How did he get the girls up for practice?
Colin has some crazy Harry Senses
Colin shows Harry the photo of him and Lockhart, and Harry is trying to escape from view - very similar to how Harry was feeling when the photo was taken
How exactly do photos and portraits work in the Wizarding World? How can portraits move between frames - even ones that aren't their own?
Should the school do more to teach Muggleborns about Quidditch?
Wood had them practice without eating breakfast - not very smart, Oliver!
Interesting the Slytherin Team is all boys, when Muggle Quidditch has a Co-Ed rule for Gender Equality
Shay discusses the Gryffindor and Slytherin play styles and how they choose their team members to fit their needs
+1 Snape Sucks point for overruling Oliver's booked pitch despite him going through the proper channels
Malfoy is on the Quidditch team and Lucius bought the whole team state of the art brooms - how is this allowed?
Malfoy is known to be a very good flier - so why did he resort to buying his way onto the team?
The Gryffindor team has no idea what to say to Malfoy - but Hermione comes right in for his insecurities like a badass
Ron's first instinct is to curse Malfoy on Hermione's behalf - what a stand up guy
Fred and George almost seem to get violent with Malfoy while Ron resorts to magic confrontation - is Quidditch the Twins way of releasing anger?
Why can't Colin read the room and see that Ron is ill?
Shay feels like Colin has Only Child Syndrome - we wonder if Dennis was a last minute addition to the series
Hermione is affronted that Hagrid talks down about Lockhart, which is interesting for Hagrid since he always respects the Hogwarts Profs
This book really shows the importance Hermione has to the trio + Hagrid. Hagrid refers to her as "Our Hermione" and Ron sticks up for her compared to the last novel
Is Hagrid right that no one else applied for DADA or is that just what Dumbledore wants everyone to think?
We love Ron being the one to give the Wizarding Society context rather than Hermione in the movies. It makes so much more sense!
Hagrid is growing suspiciously big pumpkins and Harry thinks his old wand is hidden in his umbrella. If so - did Dumbledore help Hagrid with this?
We get some foreshadowing to Hagrid being expelled
Shay wonders if Hermione fears expulsion because she sees what Hagrid's life is like
Shay discusses what she think Hermione would do if she was expelled
Hermione obviously disapproves of Hagrid using magic on the pumpkins but is also impressed - we see this a lot with Hermione and the Twins later on in the series
Harry and Ron receive their detentions - who approved Harry's detention?
We finally hear "the voice" and Ron is Harry's go to person on weird magical things - as it should be!
Interesting foreshadowing with Ron throwing up slugs on Tom Riddle's Services to the School award

#24 Influencer Culture | CoS 6, Gilderoy Lockhart

Wednesday Aug 03, 2022

Potter Revisited Episode #24 | Influencer Culture Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 6 "Gilderoy Lockhart"

As adults, we love Harry and Ron receiving consequences for their actions
The sky in the Great Hall matches Harry's mood
Shay finds out what kippers are and she is not a fan
Tori wonders if Howlers should be a more frequent occurrence at Hogwarts
Neville has received a Howler - when last year do we think his gran sent him one?
We discuss what our moms would send us Howlers for
As kids we felt bad for Ron during the Howler situation, but as adults, we want them to be punished
Knowing that Mr Weasley is facing an inquiry at work due to Harry and Ron taking the car hits a lot different than it did as a kid as well
Interesting looking how Hermione acts with Harry and Ron before and after she thinks they have received proper punishment for her actions
We get one of our first looks at Herbology, and Shay is here for it
Gilderoy is basically mansplaining Prof Sprout's job to her - why do her and the other teachers not tell him off?
We are introduced to Justin Finch-Fletchley - who we understand now comes from a connected and wealthy Muggle family as he says he was supposed to be attending Eton
Ron's wand is obviously broken beyond repair and is dangerous - why didn't any of the profs do anything about it?
How many books are these kids carrying around?
We discuss Gilderoy Lockhart and how he is likely is a narcissist
The conversation Gilderoy has with Harry outside Herbology is CRINGE
How much of Gilderoy is just stuck in his own delusional world where he is the best, and how much is intentional on his part?
Shay lists her celeb crushes she think have the best smile
We discuss Hermione's crush on Gilderoy and how she overlooks how bad he is due to it
We meet Colin Creevey and he's a lot
Colin's interactions with Harry remind us of early Youtube culture where the line between "fan" and "celebrity" are very blurred
Colin touched a nerve when he told Malfoy he was jealous. We know what you told your dad all summer, Draco!
Gilderoy giving harry PR tips reads so much like our Influencer / MLM Culture today
Enjoy our totally real ad for Lockhart's Locks to Hart Haircare, definitly not a scam
In what world is unleashing creatures into an unprepared class a good idea - what was Lockhart thinking
What was Dumbledore thinking hiring Gilderoy? He must know he is a fraud.
Shay wonders if hiring Lockhart was intentional on Dumbledore's part, as we know he will always risk student's education for his plans for Harry
We get some interesting foreshadowing from Ron that Lockhart isn't what he says he is
Neville is really put through it the first few books, he always has to suffer for what Dumbledore is doing for Harry
This is the one time Draco should have told his father
Conspiracy Theory: Is Draco Dumbledore?

#23 Reading The Tree | CoS 5, The Whomping Willow

Wednesday Jul 20, 2022

Potter Revisited Episode #23 | Reading The Tree Aka Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 5 "The Whomping Willow"

We get so many locations in this chapter - this book really focuses on expanding the Wizarding World
Harry is loving his time at a Burrow and is jealous of Ron
Mrs Weasley likely intentionally made the last meal before the return to school all of Harry's favourites
We can both relate to the First Day of School mad rush
Tori's mom could of used an enlarged car like Mr Weasley uses to transport the kids
Ginny almost forgets the Diary - can't forget the plot point!
Why didn't Mr or Mrs Weasley wait for Harry and Ron to go through the barrier?
Wouldn't it be likely for a least one student to miss the train? Shouldn't there be something in place in case that happens?
Unlike Harry and Ron, we both would have freaked out more if we missed the train to school
Hedwig is having a rough summer, and Harry is not helping
Both of us can't even drive, and here Ron is committing all kids of crimes while driving
"Two Slytherin's that Can't Drive" new podcast name?
Harry and Ron are both such Gryffindor's and 12 year olds that they don't think this through
Shay reflects that each student should have a buddy from another house to better ground them
Harry and Ron crash into the Whomping Willow, and Tori reflects on one of her favourite scenes from the movie adaptation
Why did Ron take his wand out? They barely know any magic, so what was he going to do?
Why is the car sentient-like?
The perfect karma when Harry and Ron are dissing Snape, and he appears
We start to get hints that Snape can read minds, which comes in play later in the series
Harry and Ron face consequences for their actions
Snape is loving the superiority he has over Harry and Ron in this moment, where McGonagall and Dumbledore are disappointed, but hear them out
Do Harry and Ron think McGonagall is going to curse them with her wand?
"I didn't think-" "That is obvious." Minnie G is the G
Harry would rather be abused by the tree than have Dumbledore disappointed in him - really shows the hold Dumbledore already has on Harry so early on in the series
+1 Snape Sucks for terrorizing Harry and Ron over expulsion even though he doesn't even have the power to do so
The punishment for Harry and Ron seems to affect Ron more since The Dursley's won't care about what Harry has done
How did the rumors of Harry and Ron's entrance get spread?
Fred and George wish Harry and Ron had brought them along. We think it would have gone much smoother with the Twins despite their chaotic nature
This is one of the first times Ron gets to share the glory with Harry
Ron avoids Percy, but is obviously pleased with the praise he receives from Fred & George
We discuss the Twins and their relationship with Hermione
Remember to drive a car with a license, and not when you are 12
