Dumbledore's Army is officially here. Hosts David and Kyle review Harry's first Expelliarmus lesson and why it is a practical first choice of lesson. Is naming the group after Dumbledore a smart idea, though? This episode also features a discussion on how the Room of Requirement is one of the best plot devices in the series and also the return of Dobby the House Elf.
A re-read podcast has been very beneficial for our hosts David and Kyle as they don't recall much from the latest Deathly Hallows chapter, A Place to Hide. Do you remember more about this chapter than our hosts? We take you through Harry, Ron and Hermione's initial escape from the Death Eaters after the wedding, where they go, who they're chased by (plus how it shows how efficient Harry can be under pressure) and how they end up at Grimmauld Place.
The day is finally upon us for Bill and Fleur's wedding. Hosts Kyle and David discuss how the plan to disguise Harry is quite ingenious and some of the guests at the wedding including a returning character from the Goblet of Fire. We get a little bit of lore and world building context to learn about the Deathly Hallows and other wandmakers in the wizarding world before all hell is about to break lose with the worst kind of wedding crashers: Death Eaters.
It's the day before Bill and Fleur's wedding and it's also Harry's birthday. Hosts David and Kyle discuss where this ranks in regards to Harry's all-time birthdays and it's pretty high up there - even though crusty old Rufus Scrimgeour manages to spoil the mood a little bit. He comes by with some handy trinkets for the crew, courtesy of Dumbledore's will. Talk about leaving vague puzzles for Harry even after death!
The Burrow is getting ready for the Bill-Fleur wedding and Molly is doing everything she can to prevent Harry, Ron and Hermione from planning their secret mission. David and Kyle talk about how Molly is only delaying the inevitable and also how she struggles to come to terms with them taking on a deadly mission. Plus more on the lengths Hermione and Ron are going through to protect their families as they prepare to leave.
We deal with the immediate aftermath of the Seven Potters plan as members of the Order of the Phoenix make it back to The Burrow. A certain amount of tension is brewing as we learn of another important member of the Order is dead and how another member seems to reluctantly step up as the de facto leader. Plus, when will Harry realize that running away from others isn't going to save them from the Death Eaters in the long run? All that and more in this episode.
Ah, yes, the infamous Seven Potters plan. Turned out it didn't quite go exactly as the Order of the Phoenix was hoping. Hosts David and Kyle recap how Harry's transfer from Privet Drive to The Burrow goes, add a new list to their saddest deaths list and think of other ways the group could have transferred Harry that would have been much, much better. Invisibility cloaks, anyone?
Harry bids farewell to the Dursleys for the final time of the series in a bit of an awkward moment. Hosts David and Kyle discuss the state of mind of each character during the farewell and some character growth for one Dursley family member in particular. Plus, a discussion on why the majority of wizards make terrible undercover spies in the Muggle world.
Harry cleans room. Harry reads newspapers. Harry is sad and a little frustrated. While that sums up chapter two of the Deathly Hallows, hosts David and Kyle break it down a bit more as they discuss Dumbledore's obituary, a salacious interview with Rita Skeeter and general wound care.
We're back for the final season of the re-read! Today, hosts David and Kyle break down the opening chapter of The Deathly Hallows and discuss the inner workings of the Death Eaters as they have a dinner party at Malfoy Manor. We discuss the differences in how the Death Eaters operate from the Order of the Phoenix, honour the short-lived life of Charity Burbage, and what we learn in this opening chapter of the final book of the series.
Hosts David and Kyle get another look at the new professor, Horace Slughorn, and one host finds his presence on the Hogwarts Express a little gross. Harry becomes fixated/obsessed with spying on Draco, which doesn't end well for him in this chapter. Plus, is Hermione a psychopath? The answer isn't necessarily a straight no.
The final chapter of the Half-Blood Prince! Hosts David and Kyle discuss some of the old characters who return to Hogwarts to pay their respects to Dumbledore and how Harry's actions in this chapter set up the plot for the next book. Plus, they talk about their overall thoughts and opinions on the book.Stay tuned for the movie re-watch in Spring 2025!
Hosts David and Kyle discuss The Phoenix Lament, essentially the aftermath of the big battle in Hogwarts. Hosts David and Kyle discuss how this chapter wraps up a few of the loose ends from the book, including what has made Tonks so upset, how Fleur will fit in with the Weasley family and who exactly is the Half-Blood Prince.
We're back with an action sequence this week on the podcast. David and Kyle discuss whether Dumbledore dying is really what un-did Harry's frozen state, and if so, how does it not undo some of his other magic? Plus the growth of Harry from basically lucking out of situations when he was younger to taking matters into his own hands this chapter.
Spoiler alert: Snape kills Dumbledore. Hosts David and Kyle re-live the infamous scene through the lens of the re-read and discuss Malfoy's feeble (and not-so-feeble) attempt to off his headmaster this past school year. Plus they recap what it's like to read this scene once again and how it certainly leaves ambiguity in Snape's allegiances for a first-time reader (heck, even a re-reader).
A Horcrux. Inferi. Fire. And Dumbledore swimming? Hosts David and Kyle break down Harry and Dumbledore's trip to the cave to retrieve a Horcrux and go in-depth about Voldemort's plan to protect it.
Our hosts are back for one of the final chapters before we get to the action in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. David and Kyle discuss Trelawney's admission to Harry, which fuels his distrust for Snape event more. Plus we see our first signs of what is come to close out this book.
Have you ever wondered what Harry's true power, "love," really is? Today's episode breaks that down, in addition to learning some crucial points the entire Harry Potter story as Harry and Dumbledore review Slughorn's true conversation with Tom Riddle about Horcruxes.
Are you feeling lucky? Harry sure does in After the Burial after taking his Felix Felicis potion to obtain a crucial horcrux-laden memory from Professor Slughorn. But is this really what Harry wanted to use the potion for? All this and how it leads to a drunken evening for some of the characters in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Ever have that one idea that you can't shake and get out of your head? Hosts David and Kyle discuss this concept as Harry learns something new about what Draco's been up to this school year and how it becomes a distraction. Plus the hosts review a really enjoyable exchange between Dobby and Kreacher who have become quite the dynamic duo.
