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

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!

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!

Potter Revisited Episode #30 Slytherin's Eat Feet AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 12 "The Polyjuice Potion"

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

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
