Basic Snitches-A Harry Potter Podcast You Didn't Know You Needed

Happy bonus episode, Snitches!Here we share some of our favorite Screen Rant discussions (disagreements) previously shared on Patreon! Some (most) of these lists are terrible but every now and again, someone gets something right

Apparently everyone is Brian and Sarah today (and naked...and Tara hasn't been invented)...Anyway, if you haven't had enough chaos in your life, here's the missing piece...Basic Snitches Improv Night!!!

On this Timed Turner episode, we discuss all the Harry Potter spin-offs that we would watch...we start off pretty standard suggesting the need for a series about McGonagall and the Marauders and the founders of Hogwarts... Then, as you would expect, it gets weird (though not as weird as it could be, considering who we are...)

In this week's Character episode, we discuss the classiest of witches, Professor Minerva "McG" McGonagall ❤️We basically spend the episode talking about how amazing McG is, focusing on all the badass stuff she does and how incredibly important she is to Harry's story. Also, Hogwarts literally would have completely fallen apart when Dumble was headmaster without McG there!

Time for another bracket episode!!!This time we break down the best magical treats!

In this fandom episode, Adam and Tara discuss wild HP theories...some of which we have decided are now canon...ish.Also, in case you didn't know, Snape reads Nora Roberts

It's time for SNITCH GAME!Hosted by Victoria, and featuring Neci as the contestant on her Basic Snitches debut episode!Will Neci match with any of our panel? Listen and see just how well a potions master, a French headmistress, a disgraced politician, a fraudulent author and the ghost of a horny teenager match up with her!

Time for a TIMED TURNERRRRRRRRY'all, this one is off the rails...so enjoy this whole episode about potatoes!!!

We love Hagrid. He is our innocent little (giant) cinnamon roll.Seriously, he is the BEST.

Happy Christmas!!! You know what this is!!!! Time to enjoy the correct version of book 7

It's time for another bracket episode! In this episode we pick the best spell for every day use. We also learn that it's a good thing Tara isn't actually a wizard because she would steal all the pies. She would not, however, steal any dildos.

This is possibly the longest episode in Basic Snitches history that is ONLY Adam and Tara....so buckle in for 2 hours of us reviewing every deleted scene from all 8 Harry Potter movies. We determine which scenes should not have been cut, and which ones we are glad weren't in the movies...also, Fiona Shaw is a treasure.Want to watch the scenes we are watching? Here's the playlist we had on while we recorded!

Welcome to our first Timed-Turner episode! Stealing the idea of "Podvilla" from Podcast in Death, we pulled out a random topic and talked about it for 25 minutes!If you were one of our wonderful Qwen patrons previously, you know that we have been doing these for some time now - and we love nothing more than to not have to prepare a single bit before recording

This is a character study on Harry Potter. Have you heard of him? Is every character episode really just about Hagrid? You decide.You could say that this whole podcast has been dedicated to a character study of Harry James Potter - but this conversation was a fun overview of Harry's journey and how much we have enjoyed his growth over the last 5 years and 7 books of podcasting ❤️⚡

Welcome to our second bracket episode!!!! This time it's a showdown between all our favorite Basic Snitches nicknames that we have given the characters! Featuring a surprise guest appearance by Ashley, so if we're too annoying for you, stick around for that Qwen

WELCOME TO SEASON 8, SNITCHES! And - Happy Back to Hogwarts Day!!!Because we read so many books we rewarded ourselves with a movie

We ain't goin' NOWHERE, Snitches!!! :D

Just more fuck-ups...basically what we do best.

The house is once again filled with Slytherins and it's time to talk about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- Parts 1 and 2. Though Adam and Tara have spent the last year ripping apart these films, Jean and Peggy are much nicer. In the second longest Basic Snitches episode in history we spend nearly 2 hours with two of our favorites walking through the movies and talking about how much we love Dobby and Hedwig.

Deep dive on DUMBLE! Featuring Dan and Victoria Hunsicker - We discuss the good and bad of Dumble, talk about dicks, and ask important questions.

WE READ SEVEN WHOLE BOOKS!!! This is a long one, Snitches... This is not only the wrap up for book 7, we also discuss the points Adam has been keeping for the past seven seasons as well as some thoughts about wrapping up the series.Guess who wins the house cup???

Chapter 36: The Flaw in the Plan - OMG the LAST CHAPTER OF THE SERIES!!!Basically, Harry wins. So do we. Basic Snitches win.Bye Cocaine Babyyyyyy!!!

Chapter 35: King's Cross -Apparently you CAN fuck at King's Cross because Voldy is about to be SO fucked

Chapter 34: The Forest Again - Harry takes a little stroll, passes a torch, reunites with family, and has a nice little make out session with cocaine baby.

Chapter 33: The Prince's Tale - This is apparently where we are supposed to stop hating Snape for being a piece of shit. Don't worry. We don't.

Chapter 32: The Elder Wand -Adam writes one of the greatest things ever written...even though Tara stole all his adjectives. Again.

Chapter 31: The Battle of Hogwarts -Harry figures stuff out! We're so proud even though he's a dummy dumb dumb. Harry's interrogation tactics are just to be a dick, but hey, it's effective. Harry sees a statue and it reminds him of another statue.Everyone goes on vacation to Albania and Tom is the strangest name ever.Adam gives us all a lesson in the floor plans of Hogwarts thanks to his blueprints book and Hogwarts legacy.

Chapter 30: The Sacking of Severus Snape -Amycus and Alexto suck. McG and Luna are badass.Slughorn is a walrus.The movie is...eh...okay? They don't have the budget for us to see the Ravenclaw common room and they're not paying John Cleese, so...

Chapter 29: The Lost Diadem - in this episode we ask the important questions: Why are there so many crowns in this series? Why is Cho back at Hogwarts? Why are Adam and Tara so amazing at the word association game?

Chapter 28: The Missing Mirror -Congratulations on your new couch, Adam!!!Aberforth is fed up, Harry is determined, Ariana Grande is bffs with Neville.

Chapter 26: Gringotts - if Tara and Adam were wizards they would steal furniture from Parma.The trio and Griphook go on a field trip, Hermione is too friendly and Harry learns a new spell!Justice for dragoon!!!

Chapter 25: Shell Cottage -Adam and Tara discuss the importance of wearing crowns for every day tasks and Harry becomes a grandfather.Oh, and "daddy" is an adjective now.

Chapter 24: The Wandmaker - We love the coziness of Shell Cottage and spending time with Bill and Fleur.The trio interrogate Griphook and Ollivander and Tara rants about how stupid Voldy and his crew were to not make Ollivander make them extra wands...

Highly combustible, O2 is BACK and we are two Slytherins and two Gryffindors together determining which is the best magical creature out there!New facts that are absolute canon about magical creatures:Sirius Black is a Disney princess and makes friends with all the woodland creaturesThe Giant Squid (aka: Adam) is lazy but effective Thestrals are the Ford F150s of the series

Chapter 23: Malfoy Manor - Fucking Frenrrrrrr is back

Chapter 22: The Deathly Hallows - Canon: Lee Jordan will dethrone Rita Skeeter in the wizarding media world.Harry needs to travel to the future to listen to Basic Snitches so he knows to refer to Voldy as Cocaine Baby, obviously. Then he wouldn't have broken the taboo

Chapter 21: The Deathly Hollows - Soooooo...the big question here is why is a story that includes murder and suicide something being told to CHILDREN? Anyway, Luna is the best. Also there are lots of spoilers in this episode... Even though this is not a spoiler free podcast (Nor is it a Twilight podcast thank you very much no) We figured we would let you know about all the spoilers
