Potter Revisited Episode #51 Snape's Grudge AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 14 "Snape's Grudge" They are finally tightening security - why wasn't this done the first time Sirius Black broke in? Ron has become an instant celebrity for almost being murdered - a Hogwarts thing? Neville's punishment is very harsh - is it really all his fault? Hagrid is acting like a responsible adult Is Hagrid a hypocrite asking Ron to forgive Hermione? Ron convinces Harry to sneak into Hogsmede for the next weekend despite Ron's near death experience and Harry being the prime target - do they ever think? Shay finds Hermione unlikable for threatening to tell on Harry and Ron on their Hogsmede Plan - but is it just Hermione's character? Hermione's less likeable traits are really ignored in the films - especially PoA When Harry goes to sneak into Hogsmede, Snape finds him - does he suspect the entrance? The Malfoy / Harry mud fight is so fun and amusing Despite Harry's mad dash back to the castle, he is caught by Snape and is so very obviously guilty Shay finds Snape's dialogue so funny Harry is obviously guilty and in trouble but Snape brings up James Potter for no reason and uses him against Harry +1 Snape Sucks Shay has a lot of sympathy for Snape and how he is undercover and working to save Harry's life while Harry is out putting himself in danger Tori has very little if any sympathy for Snape Snape is telling Harry a very different version to his father than he has been told - which opens up the idea to Harry that his parents not might be what he imagined them Snape finds the Marauders Map and when trying to work it, it insults him. What insult do you think is best? Both Tori and Shay discuss what Lupin's internal reaction would be to seeing Harry with the Marauders Map Shay thinks Lupin is regretting the choices he made as a Marauder. Lupin's past is really coming to get him Lupin tells Harry and Ron off for going out, bringing up Harry's parents - is he manipulating Harry? Is Lupin projecting his feelings about not telling Dumbledore about Sirius or the map and taking it out on Harry? Hermione comes in at the end to rain on the already terrible parade that Hagrid lost his case Snape Sucks total for Chapter 14: 1 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Fill our our Listener Survey here: https://forms.gle/QFEJNAEtQdzXLSBC7 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
Potter Revisited Episode #42 Harry's First Kiss... Almost AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 5 "The Dementor" Tori is back from her Taylor Swift concert in Tampa and Shay is (a) mad (woman) Mrs Weasley is telling Ginny and Hermione about the time she made a love potion as a young girl... we discuss our distaste for love potions and how they are so casually described in this series Mr Weasley is obviously acting as Harry's guard but it doesn't seem to be as annoying to Harry since Mr Weasley treats Harry like one of his own It's nice seeing Harry and Ginny having a normal moment together - laughing over how Percy is acting with his girlfriend- without Ginny being super embarrassed or shy Harry's casual reaction to Mr Weasley telling him that Sirius Black has escaped to kill him is fun but also sad seeing as it's Harry's normal at this point Why did no one think to tell Harry about his parents relationship with Sirius Black? Obviously it would of come out or he would of been able to find out on his own at some point - wouldn't of it have been better to here the truth (or what was thought the truth) from someone rather than gossip or rumours? Tori feels bad for Ginny being told to leave by Ron - How must Ginny be feeling coming back to school after her first year? The Trios train compartment has an extra guest - Remus Lupin. Why did he decide to ride the train? Was it for nostalgia or something else? Is Lupin really sleeping the whole time? Shay confirms the full moon was one day away when they were on the train The Sneakoscope Ron got Harry starts going off when in the train - is this foreshadowing to Scabbers being Peter Pettigrew or something else? You can't help feel bad for Harry when Ron and Hermione are talking about Hogsmede - why did they assume he'd be able to go? Tori fully understands Hermione's love for Crookshanks being a cat mom herself but Hermione isn't really being a responsibly pet owner by not taking Ron's concerns seriously Shay brings up the point that maybe 13 is too young to be a solo pet owner Why does Malfoy start every year antagonizing Harry on the train? What kind of validation does he get from it? Ron is very enraged by Malfoy - more so than previous books. Is this just due to his age, or could it be from what the Malfoy's put Ginny through last year? It seems very negligent of the Ministry to allow the Dementors to do whatever they want - they boarded the train full of young students and few staff who had no idea what was going on Shay agrees the train probably should have been search before they boarded or left the station but not by dementors When the Dementor comes into Harry's compartment he has a very bad reaction and ends up passing out - what would of happened if Lupin was not with him? From what Ron and Hermione tell him afterwords, Lupin had to force the Dementor to leave It is pretty sweet that Ginny comes looking for Ron when she's scared by what is going on - we discuss her relationship with the Twins and Percy and why Ron is the best choice Ginny also had a bad reaction to the Dementor - we discuss what reliving that trauma must of been like What must it been like for Lupin to see Harry after so long, especially as he looks so much like James? Harry seems surprised that Lupin knew who he was - is this foreshadowing that Lupin is going to be more than a DADA teacher? Some foreshadowing to the Thestrals as Harry describes the school carriages being pulled by "invisible horses" We both empathize with Harry being embarrassed about fainting - both of us have fainted in public situations including the same building we used to work Harry's reaction to McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey showing concern over him is very relatable - he is more worried by what others will think than his health Lupin has Pomfrey's seal of approval - we wonder if they have a close bond due to how much time Lupin would have spent in the hospital wing while at school We know that this meeting with McGonagall is where Hermione receives her timeturner and it just feels so negligent that this would need to be approved by so many people and no one seemed to be looking out for Hermione and her mental wellbeing It would have been more beneficial to Hermione to learn how to prioritize and pick the classes she really wanted to take Tori wonders if Hermione is the first one to use a Time Turner for classes, and Shay theorizes that Bill and Percy must have had to as well to get the number of OWLs they did Lupin is announced as DADA teacher and Snape is not happy Shay feels for Snape has it has to suck having your childhood bully get the job you have always wanted and also moving into your home Dumbledore really caused all this trouble with Snape and Lupin - Snape was just holding in all this resentment it's no wonder it bursts at the end of the book Why does it seem like Dumbledore is putting Snape through all these weird tests, just seeing how far he can push him? Hagrid is made CoMC Teacher - is he actually qualified? What makes a teacher qualified to teach? Dumbledore only really has staff that have a purpose for him (or Harry) so was Hagrid promoted because of how loyal he is? We discuss Dementors and the concept of having them at a school full of vulnerable children Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Fill our our Listener Survey here: https://forms.gle/QFEJNAEtQdzXLSBC7 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
Thunder Force: Funny and worth watching. I liked the teen girls better than the adult superheroes. I hate it when nice people make asses out of themselves for comedic value when they're funny enough not to play the fat card. Melissa McCarthy as Lydia Berman and Octavia Spencer as Emily Stanton? What a waste of talent from both of them. The entire movie should have been made with Tai Leshaun as Teen Emily and Mia Kaplan as Teen Lydia. That would have been much better. Those girls are funny and can act! The Blacklist: I hate this show. I love this show. I hate to love this show. I love to hate this show. I am obsessed with Megan Boone as Agent Elizabeth Keen and her beautiful imperfection. I am obsessed with James Spader as Red in this. And, I watch it for Hisham Tawfiq as Dembe. Everyone else is fungible, though Aram and Samar really work for it. Also, Ryan Eggold as Tom Keen is pretty keen. Country Comfort: Season 1: I loved this show. Katharine McPhee is an angel and this show tugs heartstrings in a very honest, lovely, funny, kid-friendly, and family-friendly way. I don't even know what it's about. It doesn't matter. It's country, it's sexy, it's funny, and it's filled with music and cameos. Lupin: Part 1: Is Lupin a spy, a thief, a murderer, an assassin, a hero? It's hard to know. Lupin is directed like a Young Adult series but it's deadly and violently serious. That said, Omar Sy as Assane Diop is a goofy dreamboat, I'm in love with Ludivine Sagnier as Claire, and Etan Simon as Raoul holds his own with his own sort of swag and style all his own. Superbe! The Crew: Season 1: This is a terrible show and I hate-watched the first season. And I really love Kevin James. Might be really popular with the NASCAR kids. The Magicians: This is how much I love The Magicians: I bought the book and read it and the audiobook and listened to it. And I am working through the second book. Lost me a little. Also, season 3 episode 5 A Life in the Day is burnt into my brain and my heart and I loved it so much. It's the one in which Quin and Eliot live an entire life together while making a magic mosaic. Amazing. It's about an elite and exclusive witch and wizardry school, but debaucherous. An actually gay and fabulous Harry Potter. Worn Stories: Limited Series: This series is such a breath of fresh air. Very cool, intimate, and simple. I literally laughed and cried. It's about people and an outfit, a piece, or a way of dress, and it's very sweet and emotional and compelling. It's soft-core clothes porn. Ginny & Georgia: Season 1: This series is anti-Gilmore Girls, for sure. All the sweetness and happiness is the result of unintended consequences and good luck and good hearts; however, it's a really rough ride and filled with darkness I can't reveal for reasons of spoilage. This show amazed me. Antonia Gentry as Ginny is a gorgeous chameleon and Brianne Howey as Georgia is this generation's Julia Roberts, just darker and more complex. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chrisabraham/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chrisabraham/support
