Which Harry Potter movie has the best soundtrack? What is the most awkward moment in each movie? Best casting decision? Best Yule Ball "promposal"? Best glow-up? Worst glow-up? Three sisters from the Harry Potter generation discuss these burning questions and more Harry Potter superlatives in largely un-edited conversations.
This episode we discuss what we think are the best movie quotes from the Harry Potter films (and maybe some of the worst). We analyze each quote and decide which we think is the best based on some important criteria (notably which are most Pinterest worthy.)
Happy Holidays! This Christmas Eve, we're celebrating by discussing some of the best (and worst) moments from the Hogwarts Yule Ball.
It's time to discuss the best Quidditch match of the movies. Harry's chasing the snitch higher and higher into the clouds is epic, but cathing the snitch in his mouth is iconic. Plus, stay tuned for a bonus category!

What is a Stanley Yelnats moment? Any moment in which a character finds himself or herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Harry Potter certainly stumbles into many of these moments throughout the series. In this episode, Teresa and Aileen discuss the worst of them! It's a super fun discussion, with a bonus category thrown in at the end!
There are many people in Harry's life who step up to fill the roll of Mother and Father figures. In this episode, we discuss people like Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Molly Weasley, Professor McGonagall, and even Hermione who offer Harry the parental support he is missing in his life. If you enjoy our podcast, be sure to follow/subscribe!
There are some pretty fire casting decisions in the Harry Potter movies, like Alan Rickman as Snape and Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall. Maybe there are a few that could have been better. Stay tuned to hear our discussion. Also... do you think Timothée Chalamet could play Harry Potter, or would he be better fit for young Tom Riddle? Follow us on Instagram @commonroom.pod to weigh in!
In some Harry Potter fans' books, the movies should be as close to the books as possible without taking liberties. In my book, it's ok to take liberties if there is a good reason. Regardless of your opinions on book to movie adaptations, we all know that the filmmakers behind the Harry Potter movies decided to add a few scenes that did not appear in JK Rowling's novels. In this episode, we discuss a few of the most notable added scenes, and whether or not they should have been added. Article referenced: https://screenrant.com/harry-potter-movie-scenes-not-books/
This category sounds strange, but bear with us! There are a few moments throughout the movies where we feel that Voldemort is a little bit too extra. Call it theatrical, call it over-acting, but it crosses just slightly over the line and becomes just slightly humorous. Listen to our discussion to see if you agree.
Can't believe we made it through the whole episode without referencing the line, "I open at the close." Anyway, in this episode, we are discussing the opening scenes and closing scenes of the movies. Which ones are most effective for setting the scene or resolving the story? Which ones are least effective? Be sure to listen to the whole thing because we've got a couple of rants in store for you!
We've got plenty of nominations for this category so stayed tuned! Also follow us on Instagram And... the song!

Do Fred and George get the MVP award for their firework show in The Order of the Phoenix? Or should it go to Hermione for her continued cleverness? Join us for our discussion of the Harry Potter MVPs from the 5th movie to the end (with a few not quite relevant rants included).
Who is the MVP of each Harry Potter movie? Should Ron win the Sorcerer's Stone for his sacrifice in the chess game? Or Hermione for defeating the Devil's Snare? Or maybe even Hagrid for all of his "I should've told ya that" moments. In this episode, we discuss the MVPs of the first four Harry Potter movies/books. Stay tuned for part two next week!
We grew up in the Harry Potter heyday. From midnight book releases to multi-hour movie debates, we discuss what it was like to grow up with Harry Potter, and why we decided to make a podcast about our childhood hero.
