Potter Revisited Episode #22 | The Less Sexy Red Herring Aka Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 4 "At Flourish and Blotts"
- We are back from our short break with a long episode - so get a cup of tea and a snack!
- We love how at ease Harry is at The Burrow
- Explosions from the Twins' room are seen as "normal" - were they already starting Weasley's Wizards Wheezes?
- We finally meet Ginny - we discuss Ginny's early crush on Harry and how timid her character seems compared to later in the series
- Gilderoy assigning his own books as textbook seems like a scam. Shay compares it to her Queens University days
- Percy wearing a "knitted tank top" - is it fashion?
- Hermione says she is busy with schoolwork - again we question what kind of work they can be doing outside of school if they can't do magic
- The Twins' note that Percy is acting strange. Shay declares Percy the new Red Herring of this book - but not as "Sexy as Snape" in her view
- Why did they think Harry taking Floo powder by himself on his very first time would be a good idea? Are they not able to send two smaller people together?
- Harry of course almost runs into the Malfoys when lost in Knockturn Alley - we both feel for him and remember what it was like running into peers you would rather not see on Summer holidays
- Apparently Draco has spent the whole summer complaining about Harry, and even Lucius is sick of it
- We meet Lucius Malfoy for the first time, we discuss how he comes across and how it shows how Draco is the way he is
- We see a lot of objects in Borgin and Burkes that play big parts later, particularly in HBP: The Vanishing Cabinet, The Cursed Necklace and The Hand of Glory
- Malfoy is selling dark objects to avoid scandal from Ministry raids - which includes a lot of poisons. What are the Malfoy's doing?
- Harry is rescued by Hagrid, but why was he in Knockturn Alley?
- Shay remembers why she loves Fred so much
- Hermione's parents are introduced, but they do not speak, or do much of anything. Should they have had more of a role in this chapter?
- Would you eat Strawberry and Peanut Butter flavour ice cream? We are not fans
- Ron mentions Percy wants to be Minster of Magic one day - we discuss Percy's ambition and whether it comes down to who he is fundamentally or if it began more out of necessity as he doesn't want to be in the same financial state as his parents
- We agree Lockhart is the OG Influencer
- Ginny speaks up for Harry despite her crush on him usually debilitating her - showing us the beginning of her strength
- Was Lucius slipping Ginny the Diary politically motivated? He is firmly against Arthur's Muggle Protection Act and figured if Ginny got caught it would look bad on him, like Dumbledore reflects at the end of the book
- We wish we could have seem Jason Isaacs and Mark Williams duke it out on screen like Mr Malfoy and Mr Weasley did in the book
- What would Hermione's parents be thinking after all of these? They are described as shaking
- Lucius didn't know the Diary was a Horcurx, but probably knew it would open the Chamber of Secrets - was it supposed to be given to someone who didn't know what it was, or would it have worked out better if someone had it who wanted the Chamber open and knew what it was?
- We know from Dobby that Lucius had been planning the Chamber opening - was he planning Ginny the whole time, or was it a moment of opportunity?

Potter Revisited Episode #21 | Weasley Grand Theft Auto Aka Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 3 "The Burrow"
- Tori reminisces about her house being "The Hub" like the Weasley's when growing up
- Did Fred and George come because they were concerned about Harry like Ron, or because they wanted to have an adventure?
- Fred and George are about 14 at the moment - we wonder what the UK driving age is - and how they would even know how to drive a car being Wizards
- How did no Muggles notice a flying car? Does no one get up for water at 2AM?
- Fred and George can pick locks - is this in the realm for the Twins' or too convenient?
- We discuss how the Twins both have creative brains with how they think, especially for Wizards - which definitly helps them with their future endeavors
- Shay brings up how disturbing it feels having the Twins discuss Dobby by who "Owns him" and how it highlights how House Elves are treated in Wizarding society as we view the Weasleys' as "Good" moral characters
- What kind of Magic do House Elves have? Is it similar to Goblins?
- Can we all agree Wizard Society is messed up?
- The Twins and Harry accurately guess Dobby belongs to The Malfoys - is that too convient of a leap?
- Why do Mr Weasley's kids not care about his job? It seems very important. Tori compares it to her Dad working as an accountant
- For someone who writes laws and works for the Government, Mr Weasley takes a lot of risks breaking the laws he writes
- We discuss our first thoughts about The Burrow! Shay loves the cozy vibes it gives, and Tori loves the description of a farm house with wacky extensions added on top
- Tori questions if all Magical residents have names, like The Burrow, and Shay explains it is likely an English tradition
- Does Mrs Weasley constantly comparing the Twins to Percy strain their relationship with him?
- We discuss Fred and George's dynamic within the Weasley Family, and the greater Weasley Family dynamic with each other
- We get our first glimpse of Ginny! We are both looking forward to see her development that was missed in the films
- We also appreciate how different Ginny is compared to Hermione
- Tori's image of The Burrow has changed slightly after learning "Garden" usually means "Backyard" in the UK
- We get our first Mundungus Fletcher name drop from Mr Weasley - doing crime as usual
- Tori compares Ron's love of The Chudley Cannons to Toronto Maple Leaf fans - right comparison or way off?
- Shay relates to Ron's blind faith in a sport team, speaking from experience as a Montreal Canadiens fan
- How did the Weasley's get a Ghoul in the attic? Also good to note Ron claims the Ghoul is useless but it does come in handy during DH
- Ron seems so worried about Harry's opinion of his house since Ron tends to view not being financially well off as a flaw
- One of Shay's favourite part of The Burrow is the family clock. How did the Weasley's get it?
- Tori theorizes it was made during wartime so Mrs Weasley was able to keep an eye on her loved ones when times were uncertain
- Did Fred's hand fall off the clock when he died?
- Both Tori and Shay are still traumatized by Fred's death. Let us know if you are too!

Potter Revisited Episode #20 | Dobby Will Eat Your Skin Off Aka Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 2 "Dobby's Warning"
- We are finally introduced to House Elves in this chapter - which play a big role in the series, from Dobby, Winky and Kreacher, to Hermione's character development
- Shay finds Dobby's entrance stressful as this is the worst time for Harry to have his magical world invade his life with The Dursley's
- Why does Harry have such good manners?
- Dobby tells Harry that Voldemort has powers that no decent Wizard would have - Shay wonders if Dobby is aware of the Horcurxes or at least the diary being a Horcrux
- Harry is the worst at taking compliments
- What was Dobby's logic in stopping Harry's letters from being received?
- Why was no adult concerned about Harry not responding? #WhyDumbledore
- Shay mentions it is a federal crime to tamper with someone's mail - would Dobby be sent to Azkaban, or is that a Wizard-Only prison?
- Why doesn't Harry just lie to Dobby and say he won't go back to school?
- We learn Pudding in the UK = Dessert
- Harry receives a letter by owl from the Ministry to tell him off for using Magic in front of Muggles - yet this letter comes by magic, in front of said Muggles??
- Is the Ministry not able to detect Magic done by a Wizard vs Magical Creature?
- How did Vernon get someone to put bars on Harry's window? Wouldn't it be a fire safety issue? Wouldn't the neighbors talk?
- Harry is literally being starved and imprisoned but won't use Magic to save his life because he is too scared to be kicked out of school. All the adults failed him
- When all the adults fail him, Ron to the rescue
- Shay says she hates Dobby at the beginning of the book, he causes just too much anxiety
- Why did Dobby come to warn Harry?
- Dobby is one of the most self-aware House Elves we meet in the series
- How do House Elves get tied to a family?
- We touch a little on the slavery comparison of House Elves, and how the series shows us an outside perspective (Hermione) on how wrong it is, and the perspective of those who are just use to it being that way (Ron, ect)
- Right off the bat, Harry asks Dobby how he can free him - does he relate to Dobby having to be in a likely abusive household like himself?
- How does Dobby know about how great Harry and Dumbledore are? The Malfoy's aren't their biggest fans after all...
- Could Dobby have given Harry a bigger hint that this was a Voldemort plot?
- Shay doesn't find Dobby very empathetic to Harry's situation
- Tori shares the context behind the episode title - involving Potter Puppet Pals
- We are looking forward to jumping back into the Magical World next chapter and exploring The Burrow!

Potter Revisited Episode #19 | Harry's Birthday Blues Aka Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 1 "The Worst Birthday"
- We are on the next book of our reread journey, Chamber of Secrets
- This book was first published in 1999!
- Tori discusses how she originally skipped this book at first, but it was the first HP movie she saw in theatres
- Both of us are excited for the mystery aspect of this novel, and learning more about the outside Wizarding World and Hogwarts backstory
- Harry is having the worst time with the Dursley's - no surprise there. But poor Hedwig is locked in her cage - Tori worries about her wellbeing
- Tori questions the fatphobia - specifically around the Dursley's - in the books which seems more jarring reading it now as an adult in 2022 than as a child in the early 2000's
- Shay finds it amusing that the Dursley's are so afraid of Harry, yet he has barely done any spells by this point
- We both talk about the previous book recaps we get, especially in the earlier books and if it is necessary
- Shay wonders if it is a product of the times and discusses her own reading journey
- This turns into a discussion on how reading was taught to us at school
- Why does Hogwarts assign Summer Homework? What does that entail, and is it graded? Wouldn't it be unfair for students with Muggle families?
- Why did they keep Harry in his room when the Mason's were coming over? Why didn't they send him to Ms. Figg's or the park - somewhere away from the house?
- Why is Harry so quick to believe that Ron and Hermione don't care about him or forgot about him?
- Sassy Harry is back with "Well done! You've finally learned the day's of the week!"
- Petunia punishes Harry by making him clean the entire house - Tori wonders if the Dursley's are so focused on appearing upper class if they would have a housekeeper
- Shay believes Petunia needs to have control over her environment so a housekeeper would never work for her
- The neglect Harry is facing from all the Adults in his life is concerning
- Penunia tries to hit him with a frying pan
- No one has heard from Harry all summer but the only ones who seem concerned are Ron and Hermione - who are children
- Once again- WHY DUMBLEDORE???

Potter Revisited Episode #17 | Literary Whiplash Aka Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 17 "The Man With Two Faces"
- we LOVE the opening line to this chapter!
- Tori feels bad for Hagrid - despite the times we challenge him on not be responsible, his heart is usually in the right place
- Quirrell seems to do wandless magic - is this an oversight?
- Quirrell reveals that Snape and James Potter hated each other at school, which is why Snape hates Harry, which seems to be an unintentional secret as so many know about it
- We discuss what little we know about James Potter as a character and where the truth about him is
- Snape's memories show the worst of James, where Sirius and Remus usually gloss over the bad parts and focus on the good
- Tori loves the marauder's fandom and the ability it gives to create your own version of James Potter
- "There is no 'good' and 'evil', only power and those too weak to seek it." Really shows how Voldemort sees the world
- Harry faces Voldemort for the first time and sees right through him - Dumbledore's man already
- At what point in the novel did Voldemort attach to the back of Quirrell's head?
- The way Voldemort is described is very creepy
- Could Harry being a Horcrux explain how Harry hurt Quirrell, rather the "love" as Dumbledore tells him? Tori discusses her theory
- Dumbledore tells Harry he was doing very well on his own - yet he was in a coma for 3 days? #WhyDumbledore
- Is Dumbledore trying to downplay dying for the Cause since he knows it is likely Harry may have to die?
- Shay wonders how everyone found out what happened between Harry and Quirrell? Did Dumbledore spread it around?
- Shay ponders why Dumbledore tells Harry to say "Voldemort" when his real name is Tom Riddle
- How does Lily's Sacrifice work?
- Would Voldemort have actually spared Lily?
- Could Dumbledore have given Harry an age appropriate answer to why Voldemort tried to kill him? He keeps him in the dark for so long
- Why does Dumbledore gloss over James and Snape's rivrary?
- Ron wonders if Dumbledore meant for Harry to save the stone - and Harry likes the idea. Is this showing Dumbledore manipulating him already?
- Tori loves the photo album Hagrid made for Harry
- Could Harry have contacted all the old school friend Hagrid contacted for the Photos? Shay thinks Dumbledore wouldn't have allowed it due to it interfering with his relationship with Harry and not wanting him to get information outside of him
- We love the final feast, but feel slightly bad that Slytherin lost the house cup because Dumbledore changed the rules at the last minute. This is their Villain Origin Story
- We discuss our overall opinions and thoughts on the first Harry Potter Book!

Potter Revisited Episode #16 | Tickle The Squid Aka Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 16 "Through The Trapdoor"
- Harry, Ron and Hermione sit their exams, including making a pineapple tapdance (Charms), turn a mouse into a snuffbox (Transfiguration) and brew a forgetfulness potion (Potions)
- Shay loves the idea of Fred and George tickling the Giant Squid. Tori compares the Squid to Therapy Dogs
- Interesting comparison to Harry writing his History of Magic exam expecting Voldemort to burst in, and writing his History of Magic OWL in book 5, where he has a vision about Voldemort and Sirius
- Hermione studied the 1637 Werewolf Code of Conduct - could this be a hint to her being the first to discover Prof Lupin out in POA?
- We discover Shay is like Hermione - wants to do a post-op on an exam, where Tori is like Ron and just wants to forget about it
- Harry is able to clue things together very quickly despite having the wrong person
- Our first mention of The Hogs Head
- Shay worries about Hargid's drinking - and brings up the serious discussion on Giant anatomy and if Hagrid's liver is ok
- "...Up to something..." Shay reads this in Alan Rickman's voice- don't we all?
- Harry's scar has been hurting more frequently since the Forest - he is able to pick up very quickly that it means something
- Dumbledore leaving for the Ministry seems too convenient - couldn't he see through it? Or did he leave intentionally?
- Harry quickly goes from caring a lot about House Points and how his peers view him, to not caring at all and putting the state of the world on his shoulders - he is 11!
- Ron stating that him AND Hermione will join him comes back around in the later books. This small moment seals all their fates together.
- What lead Neville towards standing up to Harry, Ron and Hermione?
- If they had the time to explain what they were up to, would Neville join them?
- Hermione fully binds Neville - seems a bit extreme
- "There's no wood!" Hermione is not good under pressure
- How would they have dealt with the Troll if Quirrell didn't leave it unconcious?
- Snape picks a logic-based task instead of a magical one - what does that say about his character?
- We love how this chapter leads off and opens in the next!
- Theory: Dumbledore wanted Harry and co to save the stone.
- Shay discusses a fan theory from Super Carlin Brothers where Dumbledore intends for Harry and friends to rescue the stone, and the events in the book that were him manipulating or setting Harry up for this
- Did Dumbledore instruct each professor to make their obstacle a certain way, keeping Harry in mind?
- Was Hagrid revealing how to tame Fluffy a part of Dumbledore's plan?
- Did Dumbledore want Harry to rescue the stone and face Voldemort as a test?
