Today J and Ben face off once more to find out who knows more about Harry Potter's summer breaks. #HarryPotter #JvsBen #SuperCarlinBrothers

What does it mean to be a hero in the wizarding world, and does being half-blood change the calculus? In this episode, Professor Julian Wamble examines the Battle of Hogwarts through the lens of half-blood identity, asking not just who fought but why, and what their presence tells us about heroism, selflessness, and the difference between doing something heroic and actually being a hero. From Dean Thomas showing up without a wand to Tonks and Lupin leaving a newborn at home, the half-blood characters at the Battle of Hogwarts offer the clearest window into what heroism actually requires and who among them truly earns the title.Harry Potter Survey

Life comes at you fast. Apparently way faster after age 30. On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, the crew dives headfirst into the terrifying realization that June is basically here already and somehow we're halfway through the year. One minute you're sneaking into clubs with fake confidence and terrible decisions… the next minute you're googling “why do my knees sound like microwave popcorn?” Welcome to adulthood, baby.This daily comedy show gets philosophical for roughly six minutes before immediately derailing into Burt Reynolds chest hair appreciation, Sally Field drama, and the deeply important question of whether Barry Gibb secretly teaches funk magic at Hogwarts.Also in today's chaos:Ozzy Osbourne's family is building an AI avatar version of Ozzy that could eventually talk to fans forever. Totally normal. Definitely not dystopian at all.Taylor Swift sends signed guitars to an 8-year-old girl after a paper airplane request goes viral.Russell Crowe explains why autograph seekers need to calm the hell down.The gang debates the difference between old-school celebrity roasts and today's “who can get canceled first” format.Roxette announces a tour and suddenly everyone's emotionally sprinting back to the 80s.Yellowstone spin-offs continue multiplying faster than raccoons behind a dumpster.TV's most shocking character deaths get revisited, reopening emotional wounds nobody asked for.And yes… someone accidentally thought Barry Gibb was dead. HE IS NOT. The Bee Gee king remains alive, tan, moisturized, and presumably shirt-unbuttoned somewhere in Miami.There's also a surprisingly passionate discussion about The Brady Bunch Movie, Vincent Price deserving his own St. Louis street, and why Travis Kelce drinking beers at a basketball game somehow became national news.Basically this episode has everything: existential dread, celebrity gossip, nostalgic movie tangents, weird AI conversations, TV spoilers, and middle-aged panic wrapped into one beautiful disaster of a daily comedy show.If you love sarcastic humor, weird news, celebrity chaos, and hearing grown adults argue passionately about Burt Reynolds and Hogwarts funk classes, congratulations — this daily comedy show was made specifically for your damaged brain chemistry.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Life hits hard. Pavement hits harder.On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, Rizz suffers a catastrophic public wipeout outside the Wildwood post office after attempting the impossible: carrying multiple packages while existing over the age of 30. What starts as a simple errand instantly turns into a full public humiliation event featuring flying boxes, ripped jeans, one silent elderly witness, and the horrifying realization that falling in public no longer looks “funny” — it looks medically expensive. Honestly, this might be the most relatable thing this daily comedy show has ever discussed.Naturally, the crew immediately spirals into a deep conversation about aging, embarrassment recovery strategies, and the exact moment your body transitions from “athletic” to “fragile Home Depot lawn decoration.” Meanwhile, Rafe contributes his own emotional damage after stepping barefoot into dog poop TWICE in under 30 seconds. One mystery pile. One homemade disaster. Somehow bleach, Q-tips, and psychological trauma all become part of the story. This is what happens when a daily comedy show is powered entirely by caffeine, sarcasm, and questionable life choices.The chaos somehow escalates from there:Would you admit to clogging a gas station toilet during a road trip?If cartel money washes ashore… are you legally required to be honest?Is keeping accidental extra cash from a cashier technically stealing or just “winning?”Why do modern cars all look like Pixar characters with anxiety?And at what point does your neighborhood friend become a full HOA supervillain?Then the show pivots into celebrity chaos, nostalgia, and existential dread because apparently everyone realized June is already here and adulthood is basically one long speedrun toward knee pain and suspiciously loud joints. The crew debates Ozzy Osbourne AI avatars, Taylor Swift's viral kindness, Russell Crowe vs autograph seekers, and whether Barry Gibb secretly teaches funk magic at Hogwarts while moisturized somewhere in Miami. Completely normal topics for functioning adults.Also:Burt Reynolds chest hair appreciation becomes weirdly emotionalRoxette triggers an accidental 80s nostalgia spiralYellowstone spin-offs continue multiplying like raccoons behind a dumpsterTV's most shocking character deaths reopen old emotional woundsSomebody incorrectly declares Barry Gibb dead and immediately gets corrected by the roomAnd because society apparently enjoys suffering, the crew tackles the modern horror known as tipping culture. Why are frozen yogurt machines asking for 25% tips when YOU did literally everything except plug the machine into the wall? Is a $9 tip on a $600 steak dinner grounds for prison? Why do Costco employees reject tips like undercover federal agents? Nobody knows anymore. America feels tired.Chris Kerber joins the show to absolutely torch WalletHub's “Best Hockey Cities” rankings, the gang debates NHL expansion rumors, and hockey nicknames somehow sound like rejected mobster aliases from a low-budget casino movie.The episode also takes a heartfelt moment to honor listener Danielle following her tragic passing after injuries sustained during PointFest. The show sends love to her fiancé Jason, family, and friends during an incredibly difficult time.This episode has everything:public humiliation, celebrity gossip, hockey rage, AI weirdness, dog poop trauma, tipping arguments, nostalgic movie debates, existential panic, and middle-aged chaos wrapped into one beautiful disaster of a daily comedy show.If you enjoy sarcastic humor, weird news, celebrity fails, comedy podcast chaos, and hearing grown adults argue passionately about frozen yogurt economics and cartel ethics… welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Blind North Chicago man sues Grayslake car dealership alleging they pulled ‘bait and switch' during new car purchaseFalkville votes to end 140-year alcohol ban by single voteNew AI pet translator claims it can understand dogs and catsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this Prof Responds episode, Professor Julian Wamble returns to Seamus Finnigan to sit with what the Critical Magic Theory community had to say. Listeners dig into three themes: the machinery of Irish stereotyping in both the books and the films, and whether the cultural blind spots baked into Seamus's characterization were ever truly unconscious; Hogwarts as a British colonial institution and what it means that Irish magical families had no alternative but a school run by the British; and the question of whether Seamus Finnigan is a hero, and what our resistance to calling him one reveals about whose eyes we've spent seven books reading through. The episode closes with a reflection on children, adults, propaganda, and trust — and what the Harry Potter series quietly teaches us about which of those things we're supposed to place in which.Harry Potter Survey

What if Sirius decided to stay in England and deliver on his promise to raise Harry instead of hiding somewhere sunny? Changes abound with that one decision...Alternate Universe based on prompt 'What if Sirius hadn't run away to somewhere sunny after escaping Hogwarts but stayed and tried to make Harry's wish of a home come true?' Covers alternative 4th Year/Goblet of Fire and therefore does not follow canon religiously.Pairings: Harry/Hermione is the main pairing. All others are surprises so read at your own risk - although I will say there are a number which follow canon.

Hermine Granger ist eine hochintelligente vierzehnjährige Hexe, die sich schulisch unterfordert fühlt. Mit Professor McGonagalls Hilfe gelangt sie an einen Zeitumkehrer, der es ihr ermöglicht, zeitgleich mehrere Fächer zu belegen. An Halloween geschieht jedoch ein Unglück und Hermine findet sich plötzlich zwanzig Jahre in der Vergangenheit wieder. Ihr erster Impuls ist Flucht aus dem Internat, doch Albus Dumbledore kann sie davon überzeugen, dass Hogwarts noch immer der sicherste Ort für sie ist, wenn sie nur eines beherzigt: dass Zeit möglichst nicht verändert werden darf. Hermine fügt sich in ihr Schicksal, nimmt sogar einen neuen Namen an. Doch kann sie tatenlos zusehen, wie ihre beste Freundin einem sicheren Tod entgegengeht, Seite an Seite mit einem zukünftigen Massenmörder leben oder ihre Gefühle für jemanden unterdrücken, der dunkler, geheimnisvoller und verhasster nicht sein könnte?

Mischief managed… Roxy Striar & Jon Maturan react to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire — the Wizarding World chapter that introduced the Triwizard Tournament, Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory, the unforgettable Yule Ball, and the terrifying return of Lord Voldemort. Featuring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Ralph Fiennes, Brendan Gleeson, and Robert Pattinson, this is the moment the Harry Potter franchise officially turns DARK.

The reaction especially focuses on the darker tone shift of the franchise, the emotional impact of Cedric's death, Ralph Fiennes' terrifying performance as Voldemort, and the growing maturity of the Harry Potter characters as Hogwarts becomes increasingly dangerous. Jon & Roxy also react heavily to Robert Pattinson showing up as Cedric Diggory, Neville Longbottom becoming more important, the reveal of Barty Crouch Jr., and the reveal that Mad-Eye Moody had been manipulated all along.

Five Good News Stories: Rare Harry Potter Auction, Record Carrot Cake, Community Tips, Rope Swing Grandma, and Loose BullJohnny Mac shares five good news stories: a well-read rare first-edition, first-impression softcover of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Bloomsbury, June 1997; one of 5,150) owned by Naveed is headed to auction and expected to fetch about $5,000, identifiable by printing anomalies like a duplicate wand list, a missing “o” in “philosophers” on the back cover, and early Hogwarts wording. In British Columbia, café owner Ted of Granville's Coffee marked an 80th birthday by assembling a 17-by-17-foot carrot cake weighing 6,044 pounds from 430 cakes, setting a new record. In Rhode Island, a town rallied after $20 was stolen from autistic barista Michael's tip jar, raising about $900 and prompting a safer jar. A 78-year-old woman went viral riding a huge Utah rope swing between 500-foot cliffs. In Virginia, a bull escaped near Eastern Mennonite University, was tranquilized, and returned. 00:10 Rare Harry Potter Find01:35 Giant Carrot Cake Record02:20 Tip Jar Kindness Rally03:29 Grandma Rope Swing Dare04:17 Loose Bull Near Campus John also hosts Daily Comedy NewsUnlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!  For Apple users, hit the banner which says Uninterrupted Listening on your Apple podcasts app. Subscribe now for exclusive shows like 'Palace Intrigue,' and get bonus content from Deep Crown (our exclusive Palace Insider!)

Chapter 15 - The Goblin's Revenge, covered by Abby! The sword of Gryffindor is real, the resistance at Hogwarts is alive, and maybe Dumbledore had a plan all along? But none of that matters right now, the trio is broken, Hermione is sobbing in the rain, and Harry is alone with a locket around his neck.⚡️

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger come to the end of their second year at Hogwarts. We spend most of the episode in Ancient Greece following the inventor of the horcrux: Herpo the Foul. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      Listen to Tea Leaves S2 E7 here! Read more about Herpo the Foul here (if you dare)!·      1:56 Quick Recap and Herpo the Foul. We open in Ancient Greece, thousands of years ago. Herpo the Foul lives in a big, nonmagical family. He feels like he can't make his voice heard, and that he has no power. This leads to the formation of an obscurus and his magical journey begins. This part of the episode should be the majority. We explore his life and how he used his powers to gain an edge, eventually breaking out of simple curses and discovering horcruxes. The similarities to Voldemort should be obvious.·      26:13 Back to Harry. We open in the girls' bathroom with Fawkes, Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Lockhart returning from the Chamber. Harry and Ron go up to Dumbledore's office where they are scolded, but also rewarded. Harry hands Dumbledore the diary and we should feel the weight of that moment, especially because of how much buildup we had in the previous part of this episode. Lucius and Dobby enter, and Harry gives the diary to Lucius before they leave, who hands it to Dobby. Dobby is free! Finally, we have a final shot of the trio getting on the train and going back home. It is the end of this year, but certainly not the end of the story. Soon, they will learn of the horrible, terrible, escaped Sirius Black… ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.comthepotterdiscussion.comNox

In this episode on Hogwarts courses, Professor Julian Wamble takes on Defense Against the Dark Arts and finds more to critique than expected. The central argument: DADA was never really about defense. It only becomes urgent in reaction to crisis, and even then, it teaches fear rather than discernment. Every professor through Year 4 embodies the very darkness the class claims to oppose, from possession and fraud to stigma and deception, exposing what the institution refuses to name. Wamble pushes further, asking what "dark" actually means when love potions are legal, Obliviate is ministry policy, and Harry himself casts Cruciatus. The line between dark and light is not a wall. It is a mirror. Ultimately, Wamble argues that a true Defense Against the Dark Arts course would not just teach counter-curses. It would teach moral imagination: how to recognize harm, resist the seduction of necessity, and how to not become the monster.

Potter Revisited Episode #109 Make Hogwarts Great Again AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 11 "The Sorting Hat's New Song" It is such an odd time to be rereading OOTP with its themes of government overreach  Harry sees the Thestrals pulling the carriages when Ron doesn't and is starting to think he is losing it since Luna can see them too  Harry is bottling up a lot of feelings, thoughts and emotions which isn't healthy  Luna says Hagrid is a bad teacher and tbh, she isn't wrong. Ginny, Ron and Harry have a biased view This is one of the only times where Harry is starting the year with people talking about him negatively  Harry notes that the new person at the staff table is the witch from his Ministry Hearing - while Hermione instantly infers that Umbridge is the new DADA teacher The Sorting Hat has a new song that is very different from his usual - explaining the different houses and their preferred traits This song goes into some Founders lore including rifts in friendships, ego clouding judgement and if sorting is actually a good thing and issues a warning that Hogwarts is in danger  Shay has some issues with how the hat generalizes the houses, such as Slytherin's and Hufflepuff's  Dumbledore is scandalously interrupted by Umbridge who gives a weird speech   Umbridge gives off the vibe that she has never spoken to a real child before and comes off very condescending Children should not be friends with teachers / adults, Umbridge!!! Ron and Hermione quickly realize they have Prefect Duties at the end of the feast to attend to Is Ron acting odd about his badge because he feels he doesn't deserve it, or that he doesn't want to rub it in Harry's face that he got it  Or is it more about not wanting to be like Percy, who abandoned the family? Neville is so excited that he knows the password and will be able to remember it Harry is surprised and angry that Seamus' mom doesn't believe him and Dumbledore, and how Seamus is fishing for information on how Cedric died  Dean brings up that is parents don't know what has happened because he hasn't told them - does Hogwarts not inform parents, especially muggle parents? Death of a student would be a big thing to keep hidden We love Ron standing up for Harry. He would throw down if needed  Neville's quiet support of Harry is so nice Harry has people on his side, but is is struggling with having people he has known for years turn against him which is hard  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 11: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited  

Was passiert, wenn Drachen mal groß müssen?Hat nix mit dem Kapitel zu tun, aber haben wir uns trotzdem gefragt.Fred und George hinterlassen ein Quatsch-Vakuum, das der Rest der Schülerschaft versucht zu füllen, deshalb hagelt es Streiche. Aber was die Weasley-Zwillinge noch hinterlassen: Einen Sumpf. Und Filch wird zum Fährmann, der die Schüler*innen zum Unterricht transportieren muss. "Nen Weasley machen" wird zum geflügelten Wort und wir fragen uns: Was wären wir, wenn wir Verben wären?Hogwarts hat sich geradezu in eine Unterwasserlandschaft verwandelt: Alle Schüler*innen tragen Tauchglocken, weil es überall nach Furz stinkt. Es ist das große Aufbegehren gegen den Faschismus in Hogwarts. Und damit gehen Grüße raus an die Band Versengold! Falls ihr Lust auf Hoffnung und Empathie habt, hört mal rein. Auch Peeves hat endlich mal wieder einen Auftritt: Er ist der Anführer aller Streiche-Spieler*innen und macht Dinge, die dem Schmetterling-Fan Ron Weasley den Tag wahrscheinlich ganz schön vermiesen. Und wir lüften das Geheimnis und sagen euch endlich, was wir neulich gemacht haben: Wir waren bei dem Podcast "Battle of the Nerds"!

On this week's episode, get ready for the worst scavenger hunt ever! Join Eric, Micah, Laura and special guest Rachel as they take a trip down Horcrux memory lane and learn what near-impossible task lies ahead for Harry and company!  Welcome Slug Club member and host of The Menuscript, Rachel! This week we're discussing Half-Blood Prince Chapter 23, "Horcruxes" The Slughorn Files: UNREDACTED What do we make of Slughorn's interest in Tom becoming Minister of Magic? Did Tom learn some of his less-than-wholesome skills from observing Slughorn? What was the inciting event that made Dumbledore so “fierce” about a no-Horcrux curriculum?  And should Horcruxes be a banned topic at Hogwarts? Why was Voldemort willing to risk part of his soul to reopen the Chamber of Secrets? Hallows Happy Dumbledore: with both the Elder Wand and Resurrection Stone in his possession, why didn't Albus ask Harry for his Invisibility Cloak and just dip? When Dumbledore suggests the possibility of a living Horcrux in Nagini, should this not have been MAJOR confirmation that Harry was a Horcrux as well? Why does Harry's capacity for love give him power the Dark Lord knows not? Lynx Line: If Horcruxes were a subscription service, what would their tagline be? Quizzitch: On July 7th, 2007, the “New 7 Wonders of the Modern World” were unveiled by the New 7 Wonders Committee in Switzerland, with input from around the world. Of the NEW 7 Wonders of the Modern world, which one is the MOST modern?

In this Prof Responds episode, listeners push back, go deeper, and make the case for Dean Thomas with everything they have. The conversation spans four major threads: Dean's remarkable ability to hold onto both the muggle and magical worlds without letting either one erase the other; the fiercely contested question of whether Dean qualifies as a hero and what that debate reveals about how we define heroism in the first place; the ways Hogwarts functions as an institution that demands assimilation and what it costs the students it was never built for; and the bro code conversation that refuses to stay tidy.The reflection sits with what was cut from Dean's narrative. Dean's father's story, his sacrifice and what it means, most readers filled in that absence. It asks who gets the privilege of not knowing, and who gets punished for it.

This week, we recap Chapters 11 through 14 and then get into one of the biggest things bubbling under the surface of this part of the story: Hermione is doing entirely too much. What starts as a chapter review turns into a conversation about pressure, burnout, and what it means to be the person everyone depends on while nobody seems to notice you're barely holding it together.We talk about how the stress is starting to show, how it's affecting the group dynamic, and how the adults in the wizarding world have a real talent for letting children carry ridiculous amounts of responsibility. We also touch on the bigger picture—how fairness, power, and consequences don't always hit evenly depending on who you are and who's in your corner.

Golden ThreadsLast July, Nick Jeffery and I put together a month long review of Rowling's work in celebration of her 60th birthday, a Kanreki party. Every day we posted conversations about each of Rowling's works with Nick discussing a ‘Lake' point, something biographical or bibliographical, and me talking about a ‘Shed' quality of the work, the author's traditional tools, artistry, and meaning.That worked great for about twenty days. Then we ran out of books. What to do for the remaining days of the month?We decided to talk about Golden Threads, the plot points, themes, and twists that run through everything Rowling has written. We started out with a survey of the fifteen-plus already identified by Rowling Re-readers and Fourth Generation types (see here and here) and then with more in depth looks at the ones that were controversial or more difficult to see. We closed off the month with the ‘Lost Child' Golden Thread and the possibility that Rowling's inspiration for the Harry Potter series was the trauma of pre-natal infanticide (‘abortion').As disturbing as that Golden Thread was to many Rowling fans and Feminist Gate Keepers, there was another third-rail string we didn't discuss, namely, the plot point of incest that readers encounter again and again in the Potter and Strike series as well as the stand-alone stories.Incest as Golden ThreadNick and I discuss the Incest Golden Thread on the fly in the conversation above about Strike-Ellacott fandom theories about Sleep Tight, Evangeline and the series finale. Here are some written references if you want to review them by looking at the books in question on your shelf.* Harry PotterThe foundation crime of the Hogwarts Saga is the abuse of Merope Gaunt by her father Marvolo and her brother Morfin. The abuse in question in this children's book series is not explicitly sexual. As with the abuse of Ariana Dumbledore by the Muggle boys, however, that Merope's father and brother violated her is there between the lines; her trauma is so great that she loses her capacity for magic (as she does after her Riddle lover leaves her) and the family does not send her to Hogwarts lest their shameful secret be revealed. No broken Merope, no Lord Voldemort, no Potter family murder and orphan Harry — no series. Though the Saga's foundation crime, the Gaunt family's abuse of its only young woman, is not revealed until Order of the Phoenix, it is the tragedy on which all the core conflicts of the septology are built.* Casual VacancyStuart ‘Fats' Wall is the adopted son of Tessa and Colin Wall. A teenager in Vacancy, he and Krystall Wheedon are the star-crossed lovers around whose choices and behaviors the ensemble drama largely turn. Fats at the end of the book claims responsibility for all the Ghost of Barry Fairbrother posts by means of which the secrets of Padford citizens are spilled.In the climax of the Wall family drama after Robbie's drowning and Krystall's suicide, Tessa reveals to Fats his personal history. His biological mother was only fourteen when he was born, an age that sadly means it is possible-to-likely that he is the fruit of incest. Tessa, a diabetic woman unlikely to carry a baby to term successfully, compelled her unwilling husband to agree to the adoption despite his mental fragility. Again, the foundation crime of this very involved story is incest, the abuse of a young woman by her family. * Lethal WhiteIn the first of only two Rowling books in which every epigraph was taken from a single work, the fourth Strike novel takes all of its headings from Henrik Ibsen's Rosmersholm, a play in which suicide and incest go hand in hand, especially in the White Horse finale. The novel parallels its epigraph source in astonishing ways.The Chiswell family has its secrets. The Minister of Culture hires Strike's agency to find ‘dirt' on Jimmy Knight and Geraint Winn that can used as counter “bargaining chips” to end their capacity to blackmail him. He shares neither what information they have that they are holding over his head to extort money and revenge nor what Billy Knight witnessed years ago. If Jasper or Izzy Chiswell had told Strike this information in the beginning, it is likely the pater familias would not have been murdered. The biggest secrets, of course, are about the sexual relationship between Raphael and his step-mother and the step-son's plans to murder father and eventually Kinvarra in order to be free to spend the millions he'll make from sale of the Stubbs. Not quite incest, a step-mother in bed with her step-son, but something like it.Rosmersholm‘s family secrets are if anything more disturbing. Kroll reveals to Rebecca that Dr. West, her adoptive father, was very likely her biological father as well. It is implied heavily that after her mother's death Rebecca's relationship with Dr. West changed from filial to sexual; Kroll's revelation about this is something of an Oedipus Rex moment. Rebecca realizes that she had been sleeping with her father and the incest taboo crushes her ability to accept Rosmer's overdue marriage proposal, a proposal for which she had convinced the ailing Mrs Rosmer to commit suicide.* Troubled BloodThe psychopathic murderer and torturer of children that the police and public believe killed Margot Bamborough is Dennis Creed. We learn in chapter 8 of Strike 5 via the Peg-Legged PI reading The Demon of Paradise Park that Creed was the incestuous rape off-spring of Agnes Waite and her step-father Awdry, a man who wanted to kill the child at birth but which the mother prevented (to her eventual regret). Awdry abused the boy all through his childhood, especially after Agnes' escape as a young woman (reminiscent of Peggy Nancarrow's flight from St Mawes). Troubled Blood is haunted by the victims of Creed's madness, all of whose deaths can be traced back to Awdry's violent sexual violation of his step-daughter.* Hallmarked ManThe mystery Cormoran Strike agrees with no little hesitation to try to solve is ‘What happened to Rupert Fleetwood?' Decima Longcaster Mullins, mother of Fleetwood's son Lion, believes her baby-daddy was the unidentifiable murdered man in the Ramsey Silver Vault. We learn before that victim's identity is revealed that Fleetwood fled the UK after he learned that the woman he loved was his half-sister and his son the product of unwitting incest. Rowling-Galbraith reveals only in the epilogue that Ian Griffiths murdered Tyler Powell because the young man was determined to rescue the young woman living with Griffith as his daughter who was pregnant with his child. Once again, the foundation crimes of a Rowling work turn on the intentional sexual abuse of a girl by a father-figure, here compounded by an Oedipus Rex like incest-in-ignorance episode. Incest Notes* Fantastic BeastsAs in the Harry Potter novels, there are no explicitly incestuous relationships in the Fantastic Beasts screenplays. The conception of Leta Lestrange, however, checks the ‘rape,' ‘power abuse,' and ‘inter-family' boxes of father-daughter incest nightmare. Her mother, Laurena Kama, was desired by Corvus Lestrange III even though she was married to Mustafa and the mother of Yusof. Corvus compelled her by the Imperius Curse to join him and, while she was under his control, which is to say ‘unable to consent or resist his will,' conceived Leta, who took his name as if her mother had been his wife. Leta unknowingly avenges the Kama family by her switching her younger half-brother Corvus IV with the Dumbledore baby that results in his death by drowning.* IckabogNick Jeffery points out in our conversation that there can be no more incestuous means of conceiving a child than the Ickabog species' parthenogenic reproduction. If one accepts that as incest, the Ickabog's death after delivery and the imprinted character of the Ickaboggle by its first contact post partum have to be read allegorically.* Cuckoo's CallingThere is no mention made in the first Strike novel of John Bristow's having sexually abused his younger also-adopted sibling-sister, Lula Landry. I'm going to include it in these ‘Incest Notes' because I think it possible that the man who killed his brother Charlie and envied his sister Lula ‘played' with her cruelly, which fostered her mental instability. I think this is more than imaginative free association head-canon because of Lula's successful search for and planned meeting her real sibling brother Jonah Agyeman the night of her death. Bristow-Agyeman, the false and true brothers, are figures of erotic and anterotic love in her life, so much that I don't think incest is a stretch for John Bristow, the unloved chick in the nest.Hogwarts Professor is a reader-supported publication.

The reason I've written up these thumbnail etchings of incest occurrences through Rowling's work is because several of the theories Nick and I are seeing in the comment boxes here and on the YouTube HogwartsProfessor channel are incest driven.To get that, a Serious Striker, beyond grasping that incest is a ‘thing' to expect in a Rowling piece like Bad Dad, Divine Mother, Violence Against Women, and at least one Lost Child, has to have in sight at all times three ideas that act as premises:* Closing Trilogy Theory: Hallmarked Man the first of a three book finale which introduces the main characters;There's a real split in Strike fandom about what to think of Hallmarked Man. The great mass of readers on Reddit I'm told and at least one Substack Sage believe it is “the worst book of the series,” a real stinker. Nick and I — and most of the Hogwarts Professor readers who comment on our posts and conversations — in contrast think it is a brilliant book, one that may eventually be considered one of the best in the Strellacott decalogy.The difference is that the one group reads Strike 8 as if it were just like the first seven books in the series, i.e., a stand alone mystery whose cast of characters will in large part disappear from the stage before the next book begins. That working assumption makes the extraordinarily large cast of players in Hallmarked Man and the five different story-lines just with respect to whom the silver vault corpse might be, not to mention the Strike-Ellacott romance and over arching mysteries clues seem a confusing pile-up of plot points and people, few of which made this book fun-to-read. The author seems like she just lost control of the story and threw everything that occurred to her into the story and cut none of it out.Our working theory disagrees with that Just-Like-All-the-Others assumption and finds the possibility that Rowling has just lost her way very unlikely. Having just finished charting each of Strike 8's chapter sets or ‘Parts' and found that each is an intricate ring, as well as those Parts working as a ring, too, believing that the author is asleep at the wheel seems borderline preposterous.We think that the first seven books, each written playfully on the model of its Harry Potter numeric counterpart, are a closed set — and that the last three books in the ten book series are being written as a trilogy in which the Great Mysteries introduced in the first seven will be resolved.Hallmarked Man, as the first book in this three part series, is burdened with introducing all the principal players of this extended finale inside a book whose mystery allows their appearance and character reveal without pointing too obviously to their part in the upcoming drama. Hence Tara, Dino, Valentine, Ralph Lawrence, Sacha, and at long last Rokeby playing the roles they do in this book.* Trilogy will resolve at last the Leda Margaret, Charlotte, and Strike/Ellacott story line mysteries; The end of Strike 10 seems to be a hard stop according to Rowling. She is obliged, consequently, in the next two books to give her readers satisfaction on the many hanging threads in the series, most notably:* The story of Strike's conception, the IED explosion, and his SIB medal;* Peggy Nancarrow, a.k.a., Leda Strike, why she left St Mawes as she did, why she raised her children as she did, and all the circumstances of her seeming suicide (Where's Switch?); and* Charlotte Campbell-Ross, sometimes referred to as the Honorable Milady Bezerko, and the baby she claims to have conceived with Strike, her backstage efforts to upend Strike's relationship with Robin, her break-up with the hotelier billionaire, her suicide note, and, echoing Leda, the circumstances of her seeming suicide.That's the shortest of lists obviously with nothing about Murphy or Robin or the host of other key players in the series. Given the ending of Hallmarked Man, I'm very much inclined to think that Sleep Tight, Evangeline's mystery will turn on where Robin went after Strike's proposal on the stairs which will necessarily involve Murphy, and, forgive me, many of the players from Strike 8 as Rowling-Galbraith begins rolling out the stunning twists hidden beneath the surface of Strike 8. All those fun confrontations with Charlotte's bizarro family, from Emilia at the end of Grave to Tara, Dino, Valentine, and Sacha? My bet is we'll learn in the next books how much Strike and Ellacott missed in their meetings with each.* Serious Strikers think incest is at the heart of the Strike, Nancarrow, and Campbell mysteries.Leda's Conception* Ted's Daughter with an Unknown WomenA real stretch, I know, but Ted, per the invaluable Cormoran Strike Timeline, was fourteen years older than his younger sister Peggy. If you think it inconceivable that Ted was Leda's father, you either imagine that just-barely-teenage boys cannot sire children (see George Hamilton's life for his sexcapades at age twelve with his stepmother) or you make nothing of the fact that Trevik gave up his daughter for his mother's upbringing when his wife died. Perhaps the cause of the Nancarrow house nightmare and Ted's departure for the Army “lest murder be done” was because, a la Hamilton, Leda's mother was not a young lass with whom Ted met outside The Victory but Trevik's abused wife, Ted's own mother. Which is to say he was both Leda's brother and biological father. Hence the otherwise almost inexplicable relationship of Ted, his barren wife, and Peggy-Leda. Just sayin'!Strike's conception:* Son of Leda and Ted;Leda is 23, give or take a year, at Strike's conception early in 1974 and her older brother is 37 and married to Joan who cannot have children. It's possible that Ted is Cormoran's dad, just as Joan is delighted to hear Strike say he is in Troubled Blood, the only barrier being our being told repeatedly that Ted was a “proper man.” Perhaps that repeated telling is a marker that he wasn't always that proper but did his best to set his sister (daughter?) up well with the Rokeby paternity evidence. See ‘Uncle Ted It' for more speculation along these lines.* Son of Leda and Trevik Nancarrow;I'm thinking that if Rowling is pointing to an incest relationship in the Nancarrow family it isn't with “proper man” Ted, the long-suffering and ever vigilant older brother but to the “pure terror” and “hard-drinking” man despised by sister and brother. You'll forgive for thinking that anything to which Rowling-Galbraith is clearly hopeful her readers will believe is not the surprise ending of her ten book series.* Rokeby deception If Strike's or Leda's conception was incestuous, especially if Ted was the father of either, then Rokeby was deceived about his parentage, I presume with Ted's SIB-driven assistance. The best motivation I have read about why Leda was murdered and her death staged as a seeming suicide, beyond even the Mad Guillespie theories, is that she tired of this deception, hence her refusal to accept Rokeby's child support, and intended to tell Cormoran who his father really was. So Ted killed her. Charlotte Conception and Abuse by Father, Relations with Half-Brother:* Tara and Dino's DaughterFiona wrote to me privately to share her theory that Dino is not only the father of Valentine, Cosima, Decima, and Rupert, but also of Charlotte:In response to a post by Cheryl Rose Orrocks on 17 Feb 2026, my current theory is that Dino Longcaster is Charlotte's father and that his son, Valentine Longcaster, will be revealed as her abuser and the possible biological father of Charlotte's children. Hence the 2nd incest storyline will also involve the Longcaster family. This could be why Charlotte's mother, Tara, despised Charlotte so much.If Jago Ross is somehow linked to the matter of the DNA test involving Bijou and Strike, it may be because he had Charlotte's birth children DNA tested to confirm parentage. Maybe Jago discovers he is not the biological father and assumes Strike is, hence the reason he wants to obtain Strike's DNA results.This would need a whole longish post to unfurl but the high points of Fiona's idea is that, just as with the Fleetwoods, Dino impregnated Campbell's wife Tara unknown to the father. When the Campbells divorced (he doesn't seem to have found out?), Dino then became Charlotte's stepfather in addition to being her biological father.And maybe even the father of her children that she claimed were Cormoran's and Jago's? Whew.* Dino's Sexual AbuseRubes posted her theory on a thread here on 3 March that Dino Longcaster abused Charlotte his step-daughter after his marriage to her then mother, Tara Campbell Longcaster:I think Charlotte got involved with Dino as a teenager (whether willingly or not). That is why she ran away and attempted to kill herself. She told her mother who disbelieved her or knew and it is the source of their conflict. Dino was also maybe the stepfather that tried to have her committed.Dino and his daughter [Cosima] gave me Ivanka and Donald Trump vibes. Maybe he sublimated that incestuous desire with young Charlotte. He is also obsessed with looks and perfection and we know Charlotte as Venus is the epitome of beautyI think Charlotte either extorted him all these years or else continued the on-and-off affair so he would help support her lifestyle.He might even be the father of the twins. It would support both the false paternity and incest themes in THM. We also have multiple examples of (step)fathers grooming/abusing their stepdaughters throughout the series.* Valentine or Sacha relations; Strike child, Ross twinsBoth the ‘Dino Did Her' theories suggest in turn that, a la the Brockbank twins Noel and Holly, the Longcaster and Legard half-siblings Valentine and Sacha had sexual relationships with their beloved swinging sis Charlotte. Either man could be the father of the mystery baby she told Strike was theirs and either one could also be the baby daddy of Jago Ross' supposed twins.As Fiona suggests, if the results of Bijou's DNA testing of Strike winds up in Ross' hands — perhaps Rowling makes the whole effort Ross-inspired after he discovers the twins are not his? — he is the one who reveals to Strike that neither of them was the father of Charlotte's only children. If so, I look forward to reading how Rowling has Strike or Robin connect the dots with the incestuous Campbell-Legard-Longcaster family love-pit.ConclusionsDoes incest tie up all the loose threads in this series? No way. I suppose incest or at least cousin-marriage is a way of life in Afghanistan but I don't see how incest explains for us all the questions surrounding the IED blast.But with respect to the several conception questions we've been straddled with, incest definitely throws up some fascinating possibilities (and ‘throws up' reflects the nausea inducing aspects of this viscerally felt taboo). If you accept the Finishing Trilogy Idea and its corollary that all the mysteries will be resolved in the last three books and that Hallmarked Man has given us our cast of characters, then the possibility that the soft-incest of Decima and Rupert with its sort of happy ending in Strike 8 was an introit to an inbreeding heavy finish in the last two books.Please share your thoughts in the comment boxes below about these theories and about my conversation with Nick in the video above!Hogwarts Professor is a reader-supported publication.

This IS a Dean Thomas episode, and, if I do say so myself, it delivers. From his quiet refusal to jettison his Muggle identity in a world pressuring him to assimilate, to his year on the run without proof of his blood status, to the moment he walks into the Battle of Hogwarts, Dean Thomas is the character this series didn't give us enough of, and this episode makes the case for why that matters.With 246 listener responses, critical analysis of wand theory, identity, and magical belonging, this is the Dean Thomas episode he always deserved.

Você já estava curtindo demais um filme e, do nada, aquela informação inconveniente sobre o diretor apareceu na sua timeline e arruinou tudo? Bem-vindo ao dilema mais chato, e necessário, da cultura contemporânea.Neste episódio, Rafael Arinelli, Daniel Cury e Fabiana Lima debatem sobre a relação espinhosa entre a obra e o artista. Sem respostas fáceis, sem julgamentos apressados, mas com muita discussão honesta e alguns incômodos necessários.O papo passa por casos que você já conhece: Woody Allen, cujos filmes parecem ecoar de forma perturbadora sua vida pessoal; Roman Polanski, condenado e aplaudido de pé em Hollywood na mesma década; e J.K. Rowling, cujo ativismo anti-trans transforma cada Galleon gasto em Hogwarts numa escolha política, queira você ou não.Para dar embasamento teórico ao debate, o episódio apresenta dois lados da moeda: a Morte do Autor, de Roland Barthes, que defende que a obra pertence ao público assim que sai das mãos de quem a criou; e o Intentismo, que insiste que ignorar o autor é dar um cheque em branco para quem produz arte.No fim, a conversa não é sobre cancelamento, é sobre consumo consciente. Afinal, onde você coloca seu tempo, sua atenção e seu dinheiro diz muito sobre quem você é.Coloque seus fones de ouvido e venha pensar junto!• 05m50: Pauta Principal• 1h26m04: Plano Detalhe• 1h42m17: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • André Marinho Moreira• Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Guilherme S.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Harry and Ron crash their flying Ford Anglia into the Womping Willow. Snape brings them both up to Hogwarts, and they serve their detentions. A mysterious voice echoes from somewhere far away, and Harry begins to wonder who, what, and where it is. Something is afoot at Hogwarts....Topics/Summary:·      3:33 Quick recap and Snape taking Harry and Ron up to the castle. It is important that Snape is the one to bring these two up to show his ability to move outside the lines, especially early on. Dumbledore defends Harry and gets his punishment down from expulsion to detention.·      15:23 Detention. I was debating whether to have any middle time between their conversation with Snape and their detention. Of course they need time to put their bags down and say hello to their friends, but that might change the air of the detention. Harry is addressing Gildroy Lockhart's fan mail and hears a voice. As he walks back to his dormitory, he hears it again and begins to wonder what it might mean…25:25 The final beats of the story. The whole quidditch practice showdown happens, and Ron's wand backfires on him. We also have Professor Lockhart's class and we begin to understand just how incompetent he really is. The final sequence of the story is the Deathday Party. Harry, Ron, and Hermione go to Nearly Headless Nick's party, and as they leave, Harry hears the voice again. It is closer and more intense than ever before, so he runs after it. They come across the horrible scene with Mrs. Norris, the water, and the writing on the wall: “The Chamber of Secrets has been opened; enemies of the heir, beware.” ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.comthepotterdiscussion.comNox

In this episode, Professor Julian Wamble traces the Patil twins from Philosopher's Stone through the Battle of Hogwarts, examining what the series gives them and what it withholds. From the Yule Ball's transactional gaze to their D.A. membership, the pattern is consistent: presence without interiority, heroism without subjecthood.  Why is Parvati's identity always tethered to someone else — and why is that someone always white? We know about Seamus Finnegan's mother and Lavender Brown's rabbit. We know almost nothing about the Patil family.The episode closes with a reflection on the patriarchal structures that determine whose interiority gets developed, and what it means that three of the five women examined in this arc are women of color whose visibility follows the same conditional rhythm.

As if last week's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone TV Show trailer wasn't enough, HBO Max has released a new documentary giving us a behind the scenes look at the making of the upcoming book to TV adaptation! We react to this new documentary called Finding Harry and how it leaves us feeling about the new Harry Potter TV show. The thought and detail that is going into this series is nothing short of incredible, and we explain why we're feeling reassured about rebooting this story. From the numerous animatronics to an earthy Hogwarts to making illogical magic logical, we go moment by moment through this documentary. Your Harry Potter friends at MuggleCast are continuing to cover the TV show now through the December 2026 premiere and beyond.

Visit Patreon.com/mugglecast and pledge now! Your support helps us cover the TV show. Before we can even analyze the trailer, we have to talk about that title (RIP "Sorcerer"), and the equally surprising release date: Christmas 2026! How many episodes will they release at the launch, and do we expect more episodes on New Years? I guess we won't be taking a break over the holidays... After discussing those developments, we go scene-by-scene through the trailer. One of our big takeaways is that this TV adaptation is being more loyal than the movies ever were! From Petunia cutting Harry's hair to Hagrid knocking three times on the entry doors to Hogwarts, no detail seems to be overlooked. We also discuss the slew of character reveals (Laura thirsts over the new Snape, Eric celebrates the confirmation of Peeves), discuss the familiar-yet-different changes to the look and feel of the Wizarding World,  and point out the little things you may have missed. For example, WTH are Ron and Harry doing running on tables!? Heads up!

On this week's episode, we take another trip down memory lane. Be sure to hide your valuable family heirlooms because there is a thieving Dark Lord lurking. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they do the Hokey Pokey and they turn themselves around... because that's what it's all about! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 20: Lord Voldemort's Request Memory #1: Hepzibah, Hokey & Helga Hufflepuff We debate whether or not Tom Riddle should have been given a post at Hogwarts vs. allowing him to dabble in dark artifacts at Borgin and Burkes Hokey The Scapegoat: we compare how Tom Riddle used her much like he used Morfin and Hagrid! Hepzibah Smith displays some of Hufflepuff's less-than-flattering character traits. Do we agree she is Slughorn "lite" in her behavior? What do we make of the “young, attractive man charming the older, wealthy woman” trope? Memory #2: Awkward Job Interview Given how his appearance has begun to change, does Dumbledore already suspect Horcruxes during Voldemort's trip to Hogwarts? Do we agree with Dumbledore that Voldemort didn't actually come to Hogwarts to get the Defense Against The Dark Arts (DADA) post? Doesn't the Ministry, school governors, and other faculty notice the turnover rate for the DADA position? Why isn't anything done to break the curse? Lynx Line: In an alternate universe where Dumbledore decided to give Tom a second chance, what Hogwarts position should he have offered Tom instead of DADA Professor [wrong answers only]? Quizzitch: In Chapter 20, we learn why Hogwarts cannot have a DADA teacher for more than year. In United States history, which two American Presidents served less than one year in office?

On this week's episode, unless you have a bezoar (and a bit of cheek) handy, we highly recommend you brush up on on all of Golpalott's laws! Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura for a show full of alchemy, apparition and plenty of teenage angst! News: Warner Bros. Discovery has a new home in Paramount; plus several dozen young actors have been cast as various Hogwarts students Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 18: Birthday Surprises We analyze Golpalott's Third Law: could this Potions class teach Harry something about how to ultimately destroy Voldemort? Does the creation of a Horcrux have an alchemical element to it? How does alchemy present in other book series, such as The Secrets of the Immortal Nicolas Flamel? Can we expect to learn more about Dumbledore and Flamel's partnership in the new Harry Potter TV Show? Apparition: Just put your mind to it! Does this class pass our sniff test? Bezoar! Hermione is upset (again) with Harry's success in Potions. Does Harry's cheek make him a bit to overconfident when trying to acquire Slughorn's unredacted memory? When Harry can't locate Malfoy on the Marauder's Map, why does overlook the Room of Requirement? MVP: Destination. Determination. Deliberation. Which is the of the Three D's? Lynx Line: Name a time in school where you found yourself totally out of your depth subject-wise. Did you overcome your knowledge gap? If so, was it due to hard work and determination? A good teacher or tutor? Or did you merely squeak by in class and never take up the subject again? Quizzitch: In this chapter, a bezoar from the stomach of a goat is used as a cure for poison. In reality, bezoars can appear in humans as ailments. What popular soft drink brand is used to treat bezoars in humans? Answer next week's question via the Quizzitch Form!
