This week, don't believe everything you read in the paper, because we're reading criticism of the great Albus Dumbledore, penned by the untrustworthy Rita Skeeter. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they continue the read-through of Deathly Hallows! Quizzitch Question: What is the term used for when students take a year for travel between secondary and tertiary education? Chapter-by-Chapter of Deathly Hallows continues with Chapter 2, "In Memoriam" Our DH2 Seven-Word Summary: Rita maliciously attacks Dumbledore's back in media Could the reader infer maybe there was more going on between Elphias Doge and Albus Dumbledore, from the tone and content of his memorial essay in print? How was Dumbledore making money for his family right after he left school? Was he borrowing some from Nicolas Flamel? We connect Elphias' mention of the Grindelwald and Dumbledore battle back to Book One and Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog Card writeup. Briefly, the hosts talk about how that moment was never brought to life in Fantastic Beasts (R.I.Parked) Who would bring Grindelwald and Dumbledore to life in a TV Adaptation? Would it be someone who's played the role before? While Harry feels left out of knowing Dumbledore better, would Dumbledore ever have really confided in him? Rita Skeeter is selling something! It stinks. How accurate can it be, if it is kind of a rush job, we ask? And, there is real life precedent to hastily published biographic works. The Mirror makes its appearance, and we imagine James and Sirius using them as boys. On our Lynx Line, we asked our patrons what the Dursley's did with all of Harry's left-behind possessions.

Book 7, Chapter 9: A Place To Hide

Not just Independence Day, but all month long, American citizens are celebrating our nation's semiquincentennial called “America 250.” Other fans from around the world are joining in! But some folks, of course, feel uncertain about such patriotism. Don't our countries have a lot of problems? Isn't our eternal citizenship in Heaven? Let's explore how Scripture endorses “the glory and honor of the nations.” And let's recall how fantastical stories illustrate this good love of our country.[1.

Stephen Burnett Iffy Eats Monsters for Breakfast by Bryan Timothy Mitchell Lorehaven Guild: July 2026 book quest for The Silver Chair Mission update New at Lorehaven: review of All That Glows Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild 1. Why some struggle to love their homeland We'll disclaim illegitimate hatred or homeland, called oikophobia. Some prefer imaginary or opposite “homes” rather than real ones. Still others are rank traitors for bad reasons, and can be rejected. Yet more legitimately, “home” has a bad stigma for some people. We must not let “home was bad for me” turn into “it's bad for all.” Nor should we let this impulse turn into “the nation is bad for all.” Yes, a few countries are built on truly wicked foundations. But most are not—certainly not those with listeners to us now. Even if people do like America, however, they may feel guilty. A similar impulse occurs to Christians who like other earthly gifts. “Our treasure is in heaven, so nothing here on Earth matters.” Subtle gnosticism: if it all burns, why value these temporal places? 2. How stories remind us of good homelands Naturally we begin with the classics by authors who loved England. Lewis and Tolkien saw bad battles and offered critiques at home. But their stories remind us how good heroes fight for their peoples. Hobbits foresee the danger to the Shire and leave home to stop it. Aragorn loves his people and his country, despite their flaws. Faramir doesn't love weapons but “that [land] which they defend.” Narnia's kings and allies fight for her and for other good countries. The Horse and His Boy is about the good country of Archenland. Even harsh Calormenes, opposed to Narnia, have good qualities. Classic sci-fi by the French Jules Verne honors American spirit. Japanese stories adore American heroes, and we return the favor. On this side of the pond, stories show America's flaws and heroes. Independence Day (1996) shows a pulpified-U.S. fighting aliens. Transformers and Top Gun movies tend to follow that tradition. Overtly “patriotic” stories are more about flavor, not philosophy. Back in the UK, Stephen thinks Harry Potter shows this differently. Spoilers: Harry learns Prof. Dumbledore made a lot of mistakes. Yet the grown-up Harry chooses to stay on his mentor's side. And really, such open-eyed loyalty is the root of good patriotism. 3. And yes, good countries could last forever. These are good enough reasons to love even temporal gifts. But let's add more. I believe great nations are in fact eternal. Why? Because of direct promises about eternity in Scripture. By [the city's] light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. Revelation 21: 24-26 John could have said “earthly kingdoms get destroyed.” He didn't. He clearly means us to think that earthly authorities can continue. And he specifically says “the glory and the honor of the nations.” It would appear that nations (groups of people) are not sinful. New Earth is the fulfillment of God's original purpose for Earth. So why not New Israel? New India? New Britain? New America? Could the “glory and honor” include fireworks? Hot dogs? Ideas? Jesus is King of all eternity. Yet other “kings” will also be known. Other verses refer to saints having leadership in the New Earth. Could some lands try different models? Monarchy? Democracy? Perhaps in the New Earth, we'll see the best of all those systems. Voting could continue, in some ways, certainly at smaller scales. If this seems weird, recall that nations are just large people groups. No prophecy implies a removal of today's diversity of humans. Nor does it imply that everyone will love everyone else the same. New Earth will not sanctify “everyone belongs to everyone else.” Surely, after loving Jesus most, we'll also love others differently. You'll love your own family “more” than other people's families. And if you were married, you'll love him or her more than others. So it is with countries. It's okay, even good, to have preferences. We want people to like their own spouses/families/countries most. So if that impulse will be right forever, it can also be right today. For more, read this: Why I Look Forward to America 250,000. Com station Top question for listeners Have you ever struggled to love your homeland? Next on Fantastical Truth Lots of folks have said plenty about Christopher Nolan's controversial retelling of Homer's classic The Odyssey. We might see the movie. Or we might not. In either case, this book is an absolute cornerstone not just of human literature, but of fantastical fiction. How did this hero's journey change the course of all other heroic legends after him?

Severus Snape oder Bernhard Blocksberg?! Sophia ist sicher - Snape wäre ein besserer Partner für Barbara Blocksberg als Bernhard. Aber als Papa von Bibi Blocksberg hätte er wahrscheinlich auch häufiger Kopfschmerzen...Apropos Kopfschmerzen, die und noch mehr möchte Dolores Umbridge unserem Harry jetzt in form eines Cruciatus-Fluches zufügen. Und wenn sie das wirklich machen würde, bricht in Hogwarts ein neues Zeitalter an. Aber zum Glück hat Hermine eine zündende Idee! (Oder...?)Wir versetzen uns in Draco Malfoy und haben plötzlich etwas mehr Verständnis für die bösen Slytherins. Aber wirklich nur ein kleines bisschen!Hermine bindet Umbridge ein Bärchen auf und wir fragen uns: Wo ist eigentlich Dumbledore? Hängt der mit Lorenzo in der Kammer des Schreckens ab? Lernt er Parsel? Bietet Duolingo Parsel an?Und was passiert in der Ausbildung zur Ministeriumsbeamtin? Boot Camp? P.S.

Wir sprechen dieses Mal über Fawkes, Dumbledores treuen und intelligenten Phönix. Er hat sagenhafte Kräfte, die durchaus nützlich sind und hilft Harry nicht nur einmal.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we discuss the season finale to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Dumbledore sends Harry and Hermione back in time to save Buckbeak and Sirius from their fates. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      1:58 Quick recap and Harry in the hospital wing. It's important that we begin this episode with something quiet and calm after the crazy adventure last episode. Fudge and Snape walk in and tell Harry that Sirius will receive the dementor's kiss any moment. Dumbledore gives Harry and Hermione their task and sends them back in time.·      16:17 The insanity of the time turner. Harry and Hermione land in the hospital wing and make their way down to Hagrid's hut. They narrowly escape with Buckbeak then make their way to a vantage point on the Shrieking Shack. Once they all emerge again, Hermione howls to draw Lupin away and they run to Hagrid's hut to hide. Harry sees the dementors from the window and rushes to the lake, casting the famous patronus. They fly with Buckbeak up to the locked classroom with Sirius and send them away into the moonset. They make it back to the hospital wing just as Dumbledore closes and locks the door.·      34:50 The end of the year. Lupin is resigning much to Harry's dismay, and the trio packs their things and loads onto the Hogwarts Express. On the way back they get a tropical bird with an owl for Ron and a signed letter for Harry to visit Hogsmeade. We zoom out of the train and find Frank in a faraway English village looking out over the Riddle house.

For years, Fawkes the Phoenix has been one of the biggest mysteries in Harry Potter. Why does he always appear exactly when Dumbledore needs him? Why can he seemingly ignore magical rules? And why were his feathers chosen for both Harry and Voldemort's wands? Today we're revisiting one of our oldest and most controversial Harry Potter theories—with new evidence from Fantastic Beasts and years of additional analysis. Could Fawkes actually be Dumbledore's Horcrux? #HarryPotter #HarryPotterTheory #SuperCarlinBrothers

This week, we hope you can sing in Mermish or fire an arrow cleanly, because we're paying tribute to the great Albus Dumbledore. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they wrap the sixth book in the Harry Potter series! Welcome Slug Club Member Sam! Chapter-by-Chapter of Half-Blood Prince concludes with Chapter 30, "The White Tomb" Harry has developed a mantra of all of the remaining Horcruxes. Did we ever establish similar practices when we were younger? Could the rope ladder turning to snakes in Harry's dream actually be the Horcrux within him preventing him from obtaining the others? Harry makes some astute observations about Snape and Voldemort. Do we think it's a fair comparison? Pity for Draco: What does this say about Harry's character development? Is Dumbledore's funeral is as much about paying tribute to him as it is about a transfer of responsibility? Should Harry have accepted the offer to have Auror protection/assistance? Dumbledore is clearly beloved by the wizarding community. Is his funeral a reflection of the unity he was so desperately working toward? We celebrate and question the presence of certain characters who attend Dumbledore's funeral The Symbolism of The White Tomb On our Lynx Line, we asked our patrons how they would pay tribute to Dumbledore? Quizzitch: With an in-person attendance of only 2,000 people, what funeral took place in the UK during the 90's whose television audience is estimated to be 2.5 billion?

Harry Potter und die Phishing Mail​Harry ist gerade auf dem Boden der Großen Halle aufgewacht, nachdem er in einem Traum gesehen hat, dass sein Patenonkel von Voldemort gefoltert wird. Dass Harry hier leider einer klassischen Phishing-Mail in seinem Kopf aufsitzt, ist ihm absolut nicht bewusst. Und wie ein Boomer, der seiner angeblichen Tochter 1.000 Euro auf ein unbekanntes Konto überweist, rennt Harry nun in blanker Panik durch die Gegend, um Sirius zu helfen.​Doch wie hilft man jemandem, der hunderte von Kilometern entfernt ist? Vielleicht bei McGonagall? Die ist ins St.-Mungo-Hospital eingeliefert worden. Hagrid oder Dumbledore? Sind beide auf der Flucht. Also bleiben nur noch Hermine und Ron, die ihm helfen können. Also flugs zu den beiden, um ihnen zu erzählen, was da gerade abgeht.​Und wie eine Millennial, die ihren Eltern erklärt, dass das KI-Video nicht real ist, versucht Hermine Harry nun beizubringen, dass das vielleicht keine so gute Idee ist und er eigentlich gar keine echten Beweise hat.​Doch Harry hat seine ganz eigene Agenda, und so kann Hermine nur heraushandeln, dass er erst einmal im Grimmauldplatz nachschaut, ob Sirius vielleicht doch einfach zu Hause ist. Wie sie das anstellen wollen?

Has everyone got their tissues handy? Our chapter-by-chapter segment at last reaches the penultimate chapter of Half-Blood Prince, wherein the recent actions of a certain “Prince” are discovered by Harry and friends. Also, there's a new headmistress in town and she intends to rule by committee?! Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura discuss all of that and more on episode 756 of MuggleCast. Chapter by Chapter: Half-Blood Prince Chapter 29, “The Phoenix Lament” Harry retraces Snape's final steps. And they involve knocking out Flitwick! Is this protective or adversarial behavior from Snape? Could Snape have helped the Order when they were pinned in the corridor? Did he, and we just don't know it? Harry refuses to tell McGonagall about his and Dumbledore's mission. He thinks he's being faithful, but is this smart? Is Harry's decision partly to protect Minerva? Andrew has a HUGE foreshadow alert Micah blows Eric's mind with a comparison between Hogwarts founders and the current heads of house Harry forces a funeral to happen for Dumbledore before the students leave. Is this safe? Odds and Ends: what does Horace mean that he thought he knew Severus Snape? You, like Bill Weasley, are bitten by a magically cursed beast, but not during the beast's “time of the month.” What's the beast you wanna be bit by and why? In this chapter, Harry feels the healing power of Fawkes's song. In a 1984 study done by Roger Ulrich, he examined the healing properties of bird song in real life. Ulrich's research, done between 1972 and 1981, took place in a hospital in which US State? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Potter Revisited Episode #111 Needlework AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 13 "Detention with Dolores" Poor Harry, he has no safe space at the moment  The propaganda machine is awful  Hermione is right, how could Dumbledore let this happen?  The concept of the Ministry restricting students performing magic that they need to practically demonstrate for their OWLs is so dumb  Fred and George have gone ahead testing their products on students, and Ron is but in a difficult position as prefect  Hermione threatening the twins with their biggest weakness: telling their mother  Hermione leaves out handknit hats for the House Elves, putting trash on top in the hopes to free time - we get her intent but it isn't very ethical to trick them  Could House Elves even be freed this way?  This doesn't mean Ron should make fun of her knitting attempts! It's a process! The professors pushing how important their OWL exams are feels familiar to how High School teachers spoke about how serious University and College would be  Minne G gives the students a very nice pep talk, where they could all get an O in Transfiguration if they work hard and have confidence in themselves - even Neville!  Shay thinks they are exaggerating how much homework they have  Grubbly-Plank is such a great teacher... sorry Hagrid  Shay does not understand how the points system works at Hogwarts  Harry needs to stop annoying Grubbly-Plank about Hagrid  Luna lets Harry know he has her support, and Hermione picks a fight with her  Why does Luna rub Hermione the wrong way?  Angelina is channeling Oliver's intensity about Quidditch, we love that for her  Angelina does not care Harry is being gaslight about Umbridge, she has the team to think about! Harry's detention with Umbridge is... a lot  Psychological and physical torture to a minor in your care? Jail!!!!  Harry does not have parents or an adequate guardian who can advocate for him, which Umbridge knows and takes advantage of If this happened to one of the Weasley kids, Molly would be walking up to the school to commit a crime  Ron has made the Gryffindor Quidditch team! It's such a shame how insecure he is and how it affects his performance  It's actually great that Angelina focused on picking not the best player, but the player she felt would mesh with the current team the best  Harry doesn't tell Ron and Hermione what really happened during his detention, which is a shame  Harry feels that Dumbledore only cares about his scar... which is probably true  When Umbridge touches Harry, his scar hurts and he wants to talk to someone about this but feels like he can't Harry's support system is really being cut off  Shay thinks a lot of this chapter is connected to needlework  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 13: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 13: 1 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  

Chapter 20, Xenophilius Lovegood, covered by Sarah!"Are you referring to the sign of the Deathly Hallows?" ..... We've got a Taboo, Ron's got a secret radio obsession, and Dumbledore's got a tiny symbol in a letter that sends the trio running to Luna's dad.⚡️

Kevin, Chantae, CJ, and Natasha are closing out Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with chapters 19–22, and the ending is doing a LOT.Sirius Black finally tells his side of the story, Peter Pettigrew gets exposed, Remus Lupin's secret blows up, Snape turns peak hater, and Harry gets the closest thing he's had to real family — only for it to slip away almost immediately. Then Hermione pulls out the Time-Turner and suddenly we're saving hippogriffs, dodging Dementors, and asking why Hogwarts is always one bad adult decision away from disaster.After the recap, we're getting into the bigger conversation: did Harry choose mercy, justice, or just the possibility of having family? Because letting Peter live was morally understandable… but whew, the consequences are nasty.Plus, we talk Sirius, Lupin, Snape, Dumbledore's chaos-management style, Hermione carrying the plot in her backpack, and why this book's ending hits harder than people remember.

This week on MuggleCast: “SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE!” It's time to discuss one of the biggest shocks in the entire Harry Potter series. Join us as we begin to wrap up our chapter-by-chapter re-read of Half-Blood Prince! Chapter by Chapter continues with Chapter 27 of Half-Blood Prince, “The Lightning Struck Tower” (cue Andrew pitching Universal his attraction idea once again) Draco thinks he has the upper hand here, but Dumbledore shows grace and humility. Is Draco trying to blame Albus for the trouble they're both in? Did Dumbledore know about the Vanishing Cabinet? This chapter offers us a couple of clues. Micah offers several fascinating bits of symbolism concerning the Lightning-Struck Tower itself. We look at how the idea to use coins to communicate has come around full circle, from Death Eaters, to Hermione, and back to Death Eaters. Did Dumbledore think such a large audience would witness his death? For a big planner like Albus, he may not've seen that twist coming.

Chapter 18 - The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore, covered by Sarah! "For the greater good" wasn't Grindelwald's idea — so now Harry has to deal with that. This episode covers the truth about Dumbledore's past, his friendship with Grindelwald, and the moment Harry realizes the person he trusted most kept everything from him.  ⚡️

Wir wollten unbedingt nochmal ein paar Ships näher betrachten und starten natürlich mit Harry x Ginny (Hinny) - dabei finden wir heraus, wieso die beiden perfekt zueinander passen, aber trotzdem eine sehr unangenehme Beziehung führen.

We unpack the incredible performances of the legendary ensemble cast, featuring Daniel Radcliffe (The Woman in Black, Weird: The Alchemist Story) delivering an intensely mature performance as the Chosen One Harry Potter, Michael Gambon (The King's Speech, Paddington) bringing pure regal gravitas as Albus Dumbledore, and Alan Rickman (Die Hard, Love Actually) commanding the screen as the deeply mysterious Severus Snape. We also dissect the incredible, tragic character complexity of Tom Felton (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Flash) as a heavily conflicted Draco Malfoy, Jim Broadbent (Moulin Rouge!, Iris) as the memory-hoarding Professor Horace Slughorn, and Helena Bonham Carter (The King's Speech, Fight Club) as the chaotic Bellatrix Lestrange. Our hosts react to every single unforgettable highlight, from the beautiful cinematography of the opening Death Eater London bridge attack to the pure comedy of Ron Weasley accidentally consuming a powerful love potion intended for Harry. We breakdown the bizarrely hilarious drunken funeral scene for Aragog the giant spider, the raw intensity of Harry using the dangerous Sectumsempra curse on Draco in the bathroom, and the horrifying psychological torment of the cave sequence where Dumbledore is forced to drink the agonizing liquid to uncover Voldemort's Horcrux history. Finally, we unpack the sheer heartbreak of the Astronomy Tower betrayal where Snape casts Avada Kedavra on Dumbledore, the emotional unity of Hogwarts raising their wands against the dark mark, and the shocking final twist revealing that the locket is a total fake left by the mysterious R.A.B., so drop your thoughts in the comments below!

What if Dumbledore's “drinking problem” in Harry Potter wasn't just a running gag… but an actual curse? Throughout the Harry Potter series, Dumbledore constantly offers people drinks — tea, brandy, wine, mead, butterbeer — and somehow nobody ever seems to drink with him. From Hagrid and Slughorn to the Dursleys and even the Yule Ball, a bizarre pattern quietly follows Albus Dumbledore throughout the entire story. Today we explore one of the strangest hidden patterns in Harry Potter and the shocking moment the curse may have begun. #HarryPotter #Dumbledore #HarryPotterTheory

Book 7, Chapter 7: The Will of Albus Dumbledore

How very right Alice and Martha were about the first single-digit One Page at a Time! "Jim Dale" gets to do the full narration this week, as Mr. Dursley drifts into an uneasy sleep and the cat on the wall doesn't move an inch (wow!). Dumbledore stomps down the Privet Drive runway, and while we're at it, we may as well do a deep dive into the origins of the street's name! Please consider supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/realweirdsisters New episodes are released every Monday and special topics shows are released periodically.

Mallory returns to the podcast to discuss the final tale from Beedle. We dive a bit deeper on the brothers themselves as well as the Hallows that they are gifted by Death. In part two of the conversation we tackle Dumbledore's commentary on the tale.

On this week's episode, we're following Dumbledore and Harry into an unholy place... and finding deep comparisons between the chosen location for Voldemort's most protected Horcrux, and the legacy of the item it is contained within. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah, and Laura as they discuss a particular cave filled with water you wouldn't want to drink, and an important bonding moment between Harry and his headmaster. This week we're discussing Half-Blood Prince Chapter 26, “The Cave” The hosts analyze a new metaphor for the Cave by comparing it to a mother's womb. Harry and Dumbledore hope to retrieve a life form from the center, but it will cost them. What is the significance between Voldemort choosing his mother's locket, and this natural formation as its hiding spot? Real Talk, Part One: Could Harry have ever "beaten" the cave without Dumbledore's help? Real Talk, Part Two: Does the punishing difficulty of the Cave set an unreasonably high standard for readers regarding future Horcrux retrievals? Are Dumbledore's secrets being revealed while he takes the potion? Just what can we make of what he is experiencing, based on what he says? Micah's new theory about Dumbledore's visions stuns Eric. Do our Ariana Dumbledore theories re: the cave and Albus's protestations still hold water? Lynx Line: You are drinking from the basin and going through all the feelings. What are you screaming to the person who is forcing the liquid down your throat? Quizzitch: With a span of over 426 mapped miles, made of limestone, WHERE is the world's longest known cave system located? In Bonus MuggleCast, we watch and react to 5 classic episodes by the Potter Puppet Pals! Only half of the hosts have ever seen these classic fan entries into canon, despite their popularity!

The thing that Dumbledore wants to force Slughorn to do against Slughorn's will… Dumbledore actually has Slughorn's best interests at heart. That's the greatness of this character: he will go against your will and he'll be right. After he's done with you and you do what he made you do against your will, will you be thankful? Yeah, kind of. For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we discuss Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, and Albus Dumbledore and how they evolved over Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. We also discuss Voldemort's continuing rise to power and how that sets up Sirius Black in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      1:16 The goals we set for season two. 1) Explore Hogwarts. If there's one that we could have done more with, it's probably this one. However, we still did a ton in this regard. 2) Develop relationships. Check! 3) Begin Voldemort's journey. We absolutely did this as well, especially with the diary. Tom Riddle as a shadow of the Dark Lord functions very effectively to set up his rise to power.·      21:20 The power of dark magic. With Sirius Black in our future, the idea of dark magic should evolve in this season. Seeing Ginny floating above the Chamber of Secrets, for example, would be a sight that would really draw the line between dark and light magic.·      26:41 Harry and Dumbledore. It should be clear that Dumbledore is pulling the strings here. He has a say in the goings on of the wizarding world. Additionally, Harry has a deep dark past, and that past is what influences a lot of Dumbledore's decisions. ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.comthepotterdiscussion.comNox

On this week's episode, don't talk to your Divination professor when she's had a few too many because she might just SET YOU OFF! Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they confront Dumbledore about that night at the Hog's Head. Year 5 of the MuggleCast Collectors Club is here! You can receive SIX exclusive stickers by joining us on Patreon. These stickers can go on the custom Collectors Club Card we released a few years ago, or you can put them wherever else you like! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Chapter 25 of Half-Blood Prince, The Seer Overheard Harry is contemplating retrieving the Prince's book from the Room of Requirement. Hasn't Harry learned anything from trusting mysterious books? Hermione discovers an old newspaper clipping featuring Eileen Prince, Captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones Team. But the Prince can't be a woman, right?! Connecting the Threads: much like Hermione discovers the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk, she begins to unravel the identity of the Half-Blood Prince. Trelawney seems pretty miffed at Dumbledore these days. Now that's she served her purpose, is Sybill old news? Or is Albus just too busy for anyone not named Horcrux? Could Snape overhearing the prophecy be the biggest secret that Dumbledore has kept from Harry? Does Dumbledore downplay the impact of this revelation? Was he ever planning to tell Harry? The Lightening-Struck Tower: we recall the first time we read this chapter... and not feeling good about Dumbledore's chances. Hunting Horcruxes: does Dumbledore sacrifice the safety of the school to go on an adventure with Harry? Lynx Line: You're Harry and you run into Snape on your way to Dumbledore's office after just learning he overheard the prophecy… What happens? Quizzitch: What is the more common name of the ailment known as pertussis? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Professor Julian Wamble returns to the Defense Against the Dark Arts bonus episode with listener responses from Patreon, Discord, and Spotify. Three threads drive the conversation: whether Dumbledore ever actually tried to break the curse on the DADA position, whether Lucius Malfoy as Chair of Governors had reasons to keep it broken, and what magical education is failing to teach about consent, consequences, and the ethics of power. The reflection asks a bigger question: why don't we have a real-world equivalent of DADA? Because we don't need one. The conditioning DADA has to do explicitly in a classroom happens in our world through media, history, policing, and the composition of the spaces we grow up in. The fear arrives before school does. What school teaches, in the wizarding world and ours, isn't how to defend yourself. It's who the defenders are.

JC:  Dumbledore taking the Dursleys to task. That's the way that he is throughout this chapter, and I remember thinking this feels like fanfic because it felt like such fantasy fulfillment. I had wanted to see somebody tell the Dursleys how badly they treated Harry for so long, and to have Dumbledore come in and do it, I had to keep thinking, 'Really?! Is this really happening?'

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

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 Bonus MuggleCast, we're keeping with the Horcrux theme… and giving the Harry Potter TV show license to change one major character death.

On this week's episode, it's time for Slughorn Unfiltered. We're going into the true memory that Dumbledore and Harry have been after, opening a significant path forward in the quest to defeat Voldemort! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 22: After the Burial Is Hagrid being a bad friend by asking the trio to break curfew? This isn't the first time Hagrid has put Harry in danger re: Aragog; we recall moments in Chamber of Secrets which connect. Hermione and Ron's reactions to Harry taking liquid luck still make us giggle. How did Hagrid actually fend off all of Aragog's family to get him to his hut? Is Harry being a bad friend to Hagrid by inviting Slughorn to the funeral, knowing Slughorn wants to turn a profit? Could Harry have gotten Horace's memory without using Felix Felicis? We go through why Harry is successful and what steps are taken which ensure his victory with the memory. Does Horace Slughorn appear again in this book? Does he avoid Harry after this? Odds and Ends discuss the first Potions lesson of the year, which was an important one for both Harry and Draco. Lynx Line: When did you successfully persuade someone to do something they didn't want to do, and how did you do it? Quizzitch: 1 On which Earth continent would you find the world's biggest spider, Theraposa blondi aka “The Goliath Birdeater”? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Did Ginny Weasley secretly become the true master of Harry Potter's wand? It sounds impossible… but when you take a closer look at how wand allegiance actually works in the wizarding world, there's a shocking stretch of the series where Harry may not have been the master of his own wand at all. From Draco Malfoy disarming Dumbledore, to the chaos at Malfoy Manor, to a very overlooked moment in Order of the Phoenix… this theory connects the dots in a way that completely changes how you view Harry's magic. And if it's true… Ginny may have been the true master of Harry's wand for nearly an entire book. Let's dive in.

On this week's episode, we hope you know the difference between a ghost and an Inferius, lest you want to incur the sass of Severus Snape. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as we suffer through Defense Against The Dark Arts while trying very hard to break into the Room of Requirement. Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 21: The Unknowable Room Main Discussion #1: Distracted by Draco Fudge Flashback: We reflect on the Minister's comments in the very first chapter of this book: "The other side can do magic too." As Hermione consistently reminds Harry throughout the chapter, he is taking his eyes off the prize. Why is Harry not more focused given how testy Dumbledore was with him during their last lesson? We debate whether or not Dumbledore should have offered Harry more guidance Snitch Report: Given how Dobby behaves after tailing Draco, should Harry have been more mindful of what he was asking the former Malfoy house-elf to do? Why did it take Harry (and Hermione) 452 pages to realize Draco was using the Room of Requirement? Main Discussion #2: EMO Slytherins Snape is in rare form. Do we attribute his more-than-sassy nature to Draco? Dumbledore? Or did he just not have his coffee? Draco is in over his head. Do we have any sympathy for him? Lynx Line: What would you say to make the Room of Requirement open for you to reveal what Draco is up to? [Wrong answers only] Quizzitch: In Chapter 21, Harry is searching for a phrase that'll get him into the Room of Requirement… kind of like a password.
