Alice, Martha, and special guest Shut Up Tim are back to (nearly) wrap up Goblet of Fire! Some more amazing acting from the trio, including an amazing bounce-back to full spirits from Harry, along with some sentimental goodbyes from the lovely ladies of Beauxbatons and the gentlemen of Durmstrang round out Mike Newell's magnum opus.

Alice and Martha return to the fourth book as Harry prepares for the third task. A sweet moment from Ced, a not-so-sweet moment from Amos, and an almost non-existent moment from Mrs. Diggory take up the first half of the page, while Mrs. Weasley's reminiscing about the good ol' days of Ogg and Bill simply being cool take up the second half. Plus, a cameo from Michael Gambon - what more could you ask for? Please consider supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/realweirdsisters New episodes are released every Monday and special topics shows are released periodically.

Alice and Martha continue to strike seventh book gold as they discuss another chapter from "The Goblin's Revenge."

Alice and Martha return to the thrilling page sequence in Sirius's bedroom. A shady reference to Muriel, a (Hermione voice) "Harry" and a possible hint of Bucky's presence?

Alice, Martha, and special guest Shut Up Tim discuss the 28th five minutes of Goblet of Fire, which includes the reveal of the real Moody and a special bonding moment over shared scars, all of which is apparently extremely boring to Dumbledore.  Please consider supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/realweirdsisters New episodes are released every Monday and special topics shows are released periodically.

Martha gets to practice her singing (and just so you know, she actually can carry a tune, unlike Slughorn) as Harry gets some implied help from Felix following Aragog's burial on this week's episode!

Find out who Bathilda is (unless, like Harry, you've already figured it out), whether or not Godric's Hollow suffers from the Charity Burbage Effect, and why Snape may have a case for a lawsuit on this week's One Page at a Time.

Alice and Martha return to Grimmauld Place, where this crucial page includes plenty of dungbomb hilarity and... not much else!

Alice and Martha return to character studies, covering one of the realest weirdos of all time! So, don your sun colors, sit far away from any erumpent horns, and hope that you're one of Fleur's guests so that Viktor doesn't duel you right here and now!

Lockhart makes his third appearance in the OPAAT series, but will he win Real Weirdo yet again? Alice and Martha discuss page 297 of Chamber of Secrets, where Ginny's body is already lying in the Chamber forever, and the author is abusing adverbs more than ever. Please consider supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/realweirdsisters New episodes are released every Monday and special topics shows are released periodically.

It's finally time for the iconic "MY BOYYYY" moment. Alice, Martha, and special guest Shut Up Tim reconvene to discuss Harry's amazing acting, Moody's impressive impressions, and... was that the Giant Squid??

This week, Alice gets a break from extended Jim Dale narration and Martha does much of the heavy lifting with a classic impression of a real weirdo. Phineas Nigellus Black makes his first appearance on a One Page at a Time episode, as he gives a Quora-like lecture to Harry and "simple girl" Hermione about the limitations of the Hogwarts portraits. Please consider supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/realweirdsisters New episodes are released every Monday and special topics shows are released periodically.
