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

- 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

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

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?
