Potter Revisited

• #101 Dumbledore, You Egotistical Nut | OOTP 3, The Advanced Guard

  Potter Revisited Episode #101 Dumbledore, You Egotistical Nut AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 3 "The Advanced Guard" This chapter is a lot more exposition and transitional than the previous two chapters that had lots of action and foreshadowing  Shay does not approve of how rude Harry is to Hedwig  Hedwig is the true MVP though  Harry is really going through the symptoms of bad mental health right now  Moody as Lupin ask Harry a question he would only know - we decide to ask each other the same  The advanced guard has come to spring Harry free with some familiar faces - Lupin and Moody - and some new faces  It interesting the way this real Mad Eye Moody is reintroduced to Harry and the readers - they don't really focus on it too much  Lupin is back and we are so excited  We are introduced to Nymphadora Tonks who we are also very excited about  Tonk's rouse to lure the Dursley's away from the house was genius. We discuss other ways it could have been done  Quite a large group came to pick Harry up - was that wise?  It was smart to include Lupin in the guard as Harry actually knows and trusts Lupin, but was everyone else necessary? Although at this point, Harry probably would have left with anyone  It is great having a mid-twenties character like Tonks in the mix, as most characters in the series so far are adults or children Tonks reveals to Harry she is a Metamorphmagus and can change her appearance at will - we wish more lore was included about this We love how nosy the team is, looking through Petunia's kitchen  It is decided that the best course of transportation is flying to headquarters - does this really seem like the most logical route? Shay and Tori debate if using a broom should count as Harry using magic  It doesn't seem too much thought went into this and it is just a plot device to get Harry to Number 12 Grimmauld Place  They just land in the middle of a muggle courtyard in London and no one notices?  Moody has Dumbledore's Deluminator - is this foreshadowing to this being important in DH?  Dumbledore - as secret keeper - wrote down the location of headquarters - isn't that risky? All so he didn't need to see / be near Harry?  Shay calls out Dumbledore for his ego The Dumbledore slander is only at the beginning Snape Sucks count for Chapter 3: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback  [email protected] 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

• #100 Even In a Fantasy World, The Legal System Still Sucks | OOTP 2, A Peck of Owls

  Potter Revisited Episode #100 Even In a Fantasy World, The Legal System Still Sucks AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 2 "A Peck of Owls" We 100 Episodes! Thank you all for listening! It is revealed that Mrs Figg is actually a Squib who has been watching over Harry for Dumbledore  What is the deal with Mrs Figgs cats? Can she communicate with them?  Dudley is such a brat Squibs are so isolated from the Wizarding World  Why did Dumbledore not want Harry to know Mrs Figg new about magic once he was older? Dudley really changes between OOTP and DH for how he treats Harry Why does the first letter Harry receives from the Ministry say he is expelled from school, they are coming to destroy his wand, but tells him to also come for a disciplinary meeting later  Signing off "hope you are well" to such a terrible letter is savage The Ministry is showing to be corrupt, not allowing due process for Harry  Were certain death eaters in the Ministry influencing trying to get Harry's wand destroyed for Voldemort? Interesting to compare Harry in PoA thinking he is being arrested and planning to run away, and now in OOTP probably would be arrested and planning to run away  Sirius and Arthur Weasleys letters are mostly the same, but impose a different reaction from Harry  Harry needs to hire a lawyer What did Dudley experience during the dementor attack?  Petunia references "that awful boy" which is fun foreshadowing to Snape and Lily's friendship reveal in DH Should the Dursley's have been informed that Voldemort had returned? Harry and Petunia share an interesting moment when she becomes vulnerable about Voldemort's return Vernon wants to through Harry out, but Petunia receives a Howler What did Dumbledore write in his letter to Petunia? Was he blackmailing her?  Thank you all to have listened to any episodes of this Podcast! We are planning to put out a fun thing on socials soon to celebrate Snape Sucks count for Chapter 2: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback  [email protected] 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

• #99 The Roast of Ickle Diddykins | OOTP 1, Dudley Demented

  Potter Revisited Episode #99 The Roast of Ickle Diddykins AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 1 "Dudley Demented" CW: Discussion of Suicide, PTSD We are starting OOTP! And we are almost at 100 Episodes! Tori discusses some OOTP book facts including an alternate death for Sirius and Mr Weasley potentially being killed  Tori and Shay discuss their memories reading this book  Did Taylor Swift write Father Figure for Arthur Weasley? (Note this was recorded before the release of TLOAS) Tori found OOTP a bit hard to relate to at 11 years old but is looking forward to revisiting it as an adult  This is the first book that doesn't overly recap Harry's experiences in the first chapter  Is it a red flag that Dudley doesn't know who the prime minister is?  Sassy Harry is still here and we are so thankful  Mrs Figg is back  Harry being left to deal with the trauma from GOF with little support is hard to read but also more relatable as an adult  Why is Hermione at Headquarters with Ron? Is there a reason besides making Harry more isolated and feeling alone?  Dumbledore really set Harry up to fail in OOTP and we are not letting him off the hook  Harry roasting Dudley is so deserved  Quite exciting for a first chapter to have some action with the dementor attack  What does Dudley see and experience from the dementors?  We end with the reveal that Mrs Figg knows about dementors.... and potentially magic?  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 1: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback  [email protected] Links:  OOTP Facts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Order_of_the_Phoenix https://www.reddit.com/r/HarryPotterBooks/comments/1ixxche/we_published_a_book_about_jk_rowlings_original/ 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 #97 The Wisdom of Harry AKA Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 37 "The Beginning" We are finally wrapping up GoF! Harry is now left to really process what has happened to him on his own Harry meets with the Diggory's - was this forced on him or did he ask to do this?  Amos is a wreak - if he was in a better place maybe he would of made a bigger issues of Fudge trying to cover up what happened to his son Molly actually asks Dumbledore for Harry to come home with the Weasley's  Harry had to go back with no support for him in place Hagrid is a big comfort and doesn't sugarcoat things for Harry  Hagrid talks about is overwhelming faith in Dumbledore being the key to win the war - could this be foreshadowing Dumbledore's death in HBP This is the first book where the ending isn't fully resolved going into the next  Ron finally asking Krum for his autograph - iconic  Hermione reveals the truth about Rita Skeeter and what she has done... keeping her in a JAR  Unhinged behaviour  Malfoy tells Harry he backed the wrong side... but what other side could he be on since the other wants him dead?  Everyone cursing Malfoy as he is boasting is what he deserves Should the school be concerned that known deatheater kids are at Hogwarts with Harry Potter?  Fred and George also reveal the blackmail plot and how awful Ludo Bagman is  Harry forcing the Twins to take his Triwizard earnings to start a joke shop is so moving and such a great moment - especially looking out for Ron and asking them to get him new dress robes  This moment really shows Harry's wisdom and emotional growth  The tone of this last chapter is interesting as everything is not completely resolved but their is still a feeling of hope going into OOTP We discuss our overall thoughts, favourite moments, final Snape Sucks count and characters that stuck out in this book Goblet of Fire movie review is coming soon, and then we will jump into OOTP!
