Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss what actors could play different characters in the upcoming TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· Listen to episode 245 about the pitfalls of the TV show!· 3:46 Adam Driver plays Snape. Adam is younger than Alan, and that could be a closer representation of Snape because he isn’t actually that old in the books. Additionally, Adam can portray a character of great emotional depth very well, and that is of course who Sna...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss what would happen if Newt and Jacob never meet. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:58 Dumbledore would be introduced in the first film. We need a set number of core characters, and if Jacob isn’t there we need another. It’s a little strange that he is introduced so late in the story anyway, so it would make a lot of sense for him to take Jacob’s place in the beginning.· 8:57 They wouldn’t break apart. The first loose thre...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss what a modern back to Hogwarts would look like. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 2:19 Self-stirring cauldrons. Potions class is a staple of Hogwarts, so why should wizards and witches have to stir their own cauldrons? The value of the class is gaining an understanding of what potions do and which ones to use in different situations. It is that knowledge that gave Harry the best help, not actually how to make them. And if you find yourself in...
Send us a textIn this episode we break down the character of James Potter. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:52 James’s role in the story. First off, who is he? Unfortunately, this entire episode is here to answer that question. We can say that James was Harry’s dad. He was also part of the Order of the Phoenix. Overall his was a major character, but he didn’t have an absolutely huge effect on the story. He also had a positive effect, but he was more negative for the story that one...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss a possible wizarding Olympic events. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 2:20 Quidditch. This is a staple sport in the wizarding world, and any magical competition of this scale would be remiss without it. There are team sports in the muggle Olympics, so wizards should follow suit. The Quidditch World Cup is a separate organization that could supply some of the best players to make up several talented sides.· 9:48 Wizard che...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the pitfalls of the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!Summary/Topics:· 1:52 Only following the story. One of the best parts of having a TV show is having more episodes and time to explore the story. That is more than enough to do more than follow Harry. He has an interesting journey, but going deeper and finding out more about some of the things that weren’t in the films would be the benefit of having more time on our hands. · ...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the curse of July 31. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:49 1991. Harry realizes he is a wizard, but the very day he buys his very first wand and gets ready for his first year at Hogwarts, Quirrell breaks into Gringotts and tries to take the stone.· 9:41 1992. Dobby arrives at 4 Privet Drive and urges Harry to stay away from Hogwarts that year, claiming that great danger is coming to Hogwarts. Harry doesn’t believe ...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss parallel characters from Harry Potter in Fantastic Beasts. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:57 Newt and Dumbledore. But isn’t Dumbledore also in Fantastic Beasts? Yes, but they actually aren’t as similar as Newt is to the Dumbledore in Harry Potter. They both have a simple outlook on life. Dumbledore has had over one hundred years to look back and understand the world. Newt doesn’t care what others think of him which frees him to be his ow...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss imaging from page to screen. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:53 Hogwarts. This is one of the best imaging feats in the series. The style of the castle set the mood for the rest of the story, and it was the first real breath of magic we witnessed in the films. The silhouette is one of the most famous in literature. But apart from the outside, the interior of the castle is also a fantastic translation from page to screen. · ...
Send us a textIn this episode, we rename each book according to different characters. Enjoy!Summary/Topics:· 2:18 Severus Snape· 16:12 Ron Weasley· 22:03 The DursleysHaving anything you want to hear or say? Click here for a voice submission or here for text.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss some of the best story lines in Harry Potter. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:50 Horcruxes. Without these, we wouldn’t have some of the most important parts of the story, especially in the later books. Harry’s hunt for horcruxes and his task of destroying Voldemort go hand in hand and are the two things that he is bent of achieving. This was a story line that was set up farther towards the beginning of the story and gives us a call back t...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss some of Harry's biggest regrets. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:27 Cedric’s death. We didn’t get to know Cedric for a while in the story, and it took a few chapters with him in the fourth book to get a good idea of who he was. Cedric was a genuinely good person, and as readers we had a front seat to how close he and Harry grew. The deal was sealed when they helped each other out on the tasks. So when Cedric was killed, it dragged on Harr...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss what would happen if the Order didn't arrive to the Ministry in time in the Order of the Phoenix. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 2:08 Harry and his friends will be killed. The Death Eaters have a lot of leverage on Harry to hand over the prophecy and in doing so hand them the victory. If the Order hadn’t arrived a moment after that, it is very possible that they would have promptly killed Harry and his friends and moved on.· &...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss some of the core themes of Harry Potter. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· Listen to episode 236, QuizMaster: Sirius Black here!· 3:25 Death. Death is a huge theme in the story and it is very influential in every boo. However, the meaning of this theme is sometimes farther from the surface of the text that we think. In the Chamber of Secrets, Harry fights the memory of Tom Riddle who is dead but becoming alive. In the Pris...

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the good and bad parts of the trapdoor and replace the worst obstacles. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 2:20 Fluffy. He doesn’t really do anything. Playing music to put him to sleep is a weakness that is far too easily exploited to be considered an effective obstacle.· 7:32 Devil Snare. This is a very good choice. In order to escape, the wizard must know what it is and how to defeat it. In addition, death is the punishme...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss some of the unsung heroes of Hogwarts. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 2:25 The Fat Lady. We never hear from her despite having such an important tole. She is the guard of the secret common room of the Gryffindors When Sirius Black attacks the school, she doesn’t let him in and sacrifices her portrait to make sure he can’t make it in. The other guards of the tower didn’t do the same thing.· 9:37 McGonagall. Don’t get mad...
Send us a textIn this episode, we rewrite the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:Listen to The Tri-Wizard Tournament is the smartest and dumbest competition of all time here· 2:16 Cedric should get hurt in the first task. This would be a good way of foreshadowing his death, but further, it would show the dangerous nature of the competition. None of the champions receive terrible injuries that shock the schools into realizing that this is no joke, so a moment where...
Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss Harry's worst eyebrow raising decisions. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 2:01 Harry forgetting the invisibility cloak after handing off Norbert. Moving the plot forward is important, but this was a ridiculous mistake. It was the only thing he couldn’t forget being the sole barrier between him and a lot of trouble which he eventually finds himself in. · 8:14 Harry attacking Umbridge to get the locket. Yes, he had to ...
