In this Prof Responds episode of Critical Magic Theory, Professor Julian Wamble dives into the dazzling disaster that is Gilderoy Lockhart—our favorite fame-chasing fraud.From his misuse of memory charms to his obsession with applause over competence, this episode unpacks your brilliant post-episode chat insights and tackles the deeper themes of image, power, and performance. Is Lockhart just a punchline, or is he something more sinister? What does his pretty privilege reveal about the Wizarding World's gullibility? And most importantly, is he actually a good Ravenclaw? Along the way, we explore the ethics of memory charms (spoiler: it's dark), compare Lockhart's influence to real-world influencers and tech bros, and ask what villainy looks like when it's hiding behind great hair and a charming smile. Lockhart may be incompetent in some ways, but as this episode reveals—he's dangerously good at playing dumb.

On Episode 454 we discuss...→ Mandrakes: A Deeper Look into Their Nature→ Curriculum Choices at Hogwarts→ Hagrid's Crossbow and Past Trauma→ The Politics of Corruption→ Hagrid as a Mentor and Friend→ Not all passions need to be turned into professionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/alohomora-the-original-harry-potter-book-club--5016402/support.

What would you do to be remembered?This week on Critical Magic Theory, Professor Julian Wamble dives deep into the shimmering shallows of Gilderoy Lockhart—a man so desperate for legacy, he obliterated others' lives just to make space for his own myth. From vanity and fraudulence to memory charms and moral delusion, we interrogate what happens when someone builds their identity entirely on lies—and worse, starts believing them.Is Lockhart a villain? A bad Ravenclaw? Just a glorified PR stunt with good hair? Join us as we unpack the performance of fame, the ethics of memory, and why silence might be the most dangerous thing of all. Also: Beyoncé, colonialism, and why Lockhart's story might be the Wizarding World's most damning metaphor.Special thanks to our new Patreon Deep Diver: Grace

What do maternal tropes, mediocre men, and magical possession all have in common? In this "Prof Responses" episode, Professor Julian Wamble returns to unpack the post-episode chats on two very different figures: Minerva McGonagall and Quirinus Quirrell. Was McGonagall really written as a maternal figure—or have we reimagined her to reflect a world Rowling couldn't envision? And what do we do with Quirrell, a Ravenclaw who might've been smart enough to find Voldemort but foolish enough to wear him like a backpack? From challenging the “mom or mess” dichotomy to breaking down the blurry lines between agency and possession, this episode dives into how fandom, canon, and cultural context shape the way we read these characters. And yes, favoritism, ambition, and the overconfidence of mediocre white men all make an appearance. As always, stay critical while keeping it magical!

Join Andrew, Eric, Laura and Micah as they enjoy a brief compliment from Snape and finally get through *that* door at the Department of Mysteries! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 26: Seen and Unforseen. MuggleCast last discussed this chapter on Episode 463! Could Hermione have been a little softer on Harry concerning Cho? Does she share any blame for double-booking him in Hogsmeade? Hermione criticizes her friends reactions to the outcome of the Quidditch match. Does she have any fun outlets? Harry is having FOMO watching Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor. But let's face it, it's not easy watching from the sidelines! Shockingly, Snape comes the closest he ever has to actually caring about teaching Harry Occlumency, but... of course... has to have the last laugh! We draw comparisons between Lupin teaching Harry the Patronus Charm and Snape teaching Harry Occlumency. Should Harry be farther along given he's been at this for two months? How did Harry get through the Department of Mysteries door during his Occlumency lesson when he's never been there in his dreams? The hosts agree that Dumbledore had Firenze in his back pocket to take over for Trelawney. Who did Dumbledore have on tap as a replacement for Hagrid? Voldemort finally learns only he or Harry can retrieve the prophecy. How is this not more common knowledge in the Wizarding World? How would've things been different if Voldemort never wasted time with this plan? Harry has direct line of sight into Voldemort's plan with Lucius Malfoy, Sturgis Podmore, Broderick Bode and Avery. Why not leak this info to The Quibbler?

The concept of banning something only making it more popular is colloquially known as The Streisand Effect, after actress Barbara Streisand sued a photographer for publishing a photo in 2003.

Pull up a stool at The Three Broomsticks and join Ev, Irvin, Sophia, and special guest Line Egelund as they delve into the intriguing opening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with chapter six, "Draco's Detour"! True to form, our hosts found themselves thoroughly sidetracked by everything from Ollivander's elusive marketing strategy and the burning question of what citation style Hogwarts students are forced to use, before they even got to pondering the security measurements employed by the Ministry and Gringotts. Consequently, despite Sophia's valiant efforts to keep them on track, they only just managed to make it to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions! Due to their delightful tangents, this chapter had to be split into two parts - so stay tuned for the continuation next time! Grab your butterbeer and get ready for some Half-Blood Prince analysis!

We have a German hiker on the podcast this week. Annika Ananias recently flew into the US to hike the Arizona Trail with her American boyfriend, when she was pulled out of line, harshly interrogated, deported, and banned from re-entering the country for five years. This, despite having a ten-year visa. She has a compelling story. I wanted to hear from Annika in her own words. The Trek wrote a great article about her that left me with a few questions I wanted to clear up with her. As you'll hear, she is articulate and tells her alarming story with clarity. These links will tell you more of the story and, if you're able to read German or you can get it translated, at the end of the list is an article she wrote to warn fellow European hikers of the situation they may face in the US.

Beth saet out this past week, and we catch up with her and her stepson, Andrew, at Woody Gap, with their first impressions. Dave is now into Hot Springs, some 275 miles ahead of Beth, and he is zeroing there to give back to the local community by spending in local businesses.

On this week's episode, bust out your day planner because we've got plenty of classes, loads of homework and a few detentions! And keep your hands off of the knitted hats, those are for the House-Elves! This week's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Learn how to identify red and green flags with a therapist at BetterHelp.com/mugglecast. Welcome Quizzitch master and winner, James! In the middle of this winter season our Comfy Cozy Combo Pack is nearly sold out! Containing our MuggleCast show beanie and our specialty throwback socks, grab these soft and warming items before it's too late at the MuggleMillennial Etsy store! Chapter-by-Chapter returns with  Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 13: Detention with Dolores. Our Time Turner segment has us spinning an old recording from past discussions! Be sure to check out Episode 449 for our prior Chapter 13 analysis! Could there be a common theme running through the Chapter 13s of the Harry Potter series? Main Discussion #1: Radical Hermione Spin Cycle: Have the hosts ever gotten caught up in the news and believed something that turned out to be false? Why is Umbridge allowed to teach the students during their O.W.L.s year? Could Hermione be working smarter, not harder, by threatening to write to Mrs. Weasley about Fred & George? We debate the ethics of them testing products on first years! And did the Twins drug Hermione later in the chapter? Should Hermione be tricking House-Elves into freedom by hiding knitted hats beneath bits of rubbish? Would she even have the authority to free the Hogwarts House-Elves? Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Unite: Luna and Ernie show support for Harry! Main Discussion #2: Detention Our initial reactions to one of the most cringe-worthy moments in the Harry Potter series! How is The Black Quill legal? Does it have any relation to the Quick Quotes Quill? Why is Harry suffering in silence? Could past abuse and trauma be at play? How much is Dumbledore to blame for Harry's resistance to go to an authority figure? We discuss the significance of Umbridge giving Harry his second permanent scar! Quidditch Tryouts: is Ron a nepo baby? When Umbridge touches Harry, his scar burns. Should we assume she's connected to Voldemort or was this pure coincidence? Odds & Ends cover Hagrid's absence, McGonagall's confidence in Neville, angry bowtruckles and more! MVP: What would we have thought if we'd been onlookers at the Third Task in Goblet of Fire and seen Harry return from the maze clutching Cedric's dead body? Lynx Line: Our patrons weigh in on what they would do to resist the Umbridge regime at Hogwarts. Quizzitch: In this chapter, Harry is tasked with completing an illustration of a Bowtruckle. What English children's book author started out as a biological illustrator, a subject matter which certainly influenced the animal characters of their books?
