What would have been a better option? We have a few questions about Hermione's small, beaded handbag! How exactly does the Undetectable Extension Charm work? Even with the taboo in place, how did Dolohov and Rowle arrive at the cafe so quickly? And dressed for the occassion? Even in a remote London cafe, shouldn't the trio have been more discreet? Micah is not satisfied with Dolohov's performance What in the world are these security protocols at Grimmauld Place? Dusty Dumby is scaring who exactly?

Two Weddings and a Podcast (DH Chapter 8, 'The Wedding')
There's something in the air! Wedding season has come to our chapter-by-chapter readthrough of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as we discuss Bill and Fleur's wedding in Chapter 8, "The Wedding," but this episode also features newlyweds Eric and Meg, fresh off of their own wedding! We ask 'who did it better?' and so much more. Welcome back to the show, Meg! We talk about Eric and Meg's wedding, and Andrew and Micah's repeated visits to the bar. Quizzitch: What is the name that the Lovegoods use for the gnomes? News covers recent casting updates for the upcoming HBO TV adaptation of Chamber of Secrets, including Arthur Weasley, Colin Creevey and Moaning Myrtle. Chapter by Chapter continues with Chapter 8 of Deathly Hallows, "The Wedding." Is Bill and Fleur's wedding the last time when these characters will get to let loose and have fun? Does holding the wedding this summer constitute an act of defiance? Is Harry at risk because he's merely present? Are the Weasleys at fault for organizing this event at a time like this? Would it be more impactful if Percy returned now, or later in the book, to make up with his family? Wedding battle! We compare Bill and Fleur's wedding to Eric and Meg's (recent) wedding, and Micah and Andrew vote on several categories. Viktor Krum is back! And he wants to fight Luna's dad. We discuss the disconnect around the Deathly Hallows symbol and historical tie-ins. Should Harry be more alarmed that Voldemort is seeking a foreign wandmaker, now that he knows who Gregorovitch is? Are Elphias Doge and Ron's aunt Muriel two sides of the same coin? Both present conflicting ways of remembering Dumbledore. Who is more correct? Doge or Muriel? Post Fantastic Beasts, what can we read into regarding Ariana's backstory here? Lynx Line: We ask our Patrons to share stories of their weddings OR of their dream weddings, and how they compare to Bill and Fleur's. Next week, we discuss Chapter 9 of Deathly Hallows, "A Place to Hide." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Snitches Get Stitches (DH Chapter 7, 'The Will of Albus Dumbledore')
Knock knock, who's there? Just the Minister for Magic, and he has questions about these 'random' things that Dumbledore has left behind for the Trio. Even after death, Albus knows how to mess with the Ministry, and we're here for it! Join us as we discuss Chapter 7 of Deathly Hallows, "The Will of Albus Dumbledore". Welcome Slug Club member, Sara! She gets extra points for remembering her Ilvermorny House even though we didn't ask for it. Ron has a birthday gift for Harry, but what is his intention behind it? Is he trying to genuinely be helpful, or is he just giving his bro a gag gift? Ron also admits to having barged in on Harry and Ginny. Is this appropriate behavior? Who ultimately should Ron try to be loyal to? Knock knock! The Minister is pulling into the Burrow with Arthur, and he has questions for Harry. Predictably, Scrimgeour handles this meeting with the Trio poorly. Could he have actually gotten some answers out of the Trio had he been different? Foreshadow alert! Hermione says she does NOT want to work in Magical Law after Hogwarts. We learn about the Snitch's 'flesh memory' as well as Scrimgeour's theory about the Sword of Gryffindor, and he's not too far off. Harry figures out the trick much sooner than expected. Turns out Norbert is a girl. How did Hagrid NOT know this sooner? Lynx Line: Which of Dumbledore's belongings would you have wanted? Quizzitch: What's the original name for the Deluminator?

Analyzing the NEW 'Philosopher's Stone' TV Show Trailer!
Choo Choo! We’re truly headed Back to Hogwarts, as a new trailer for HBO Max's Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone TV Show is here! We break it down scene-by-scene, spot familiar faces, point out the book-to-TV loyalty, and question what's going on in some exciting-looking scenes. We're going to be spoiled with a LOT of great scenes when the series premieres this Christmas! Plus, we look at what did (or rather, didn't) happen on Back To Hogwarts day itself. Maybe Harry Potter Inc. needs to take a page out of Apple and Disney's books, and learn how to create genuinely exciting events. What was your favorite part(s) of the trailer?

Albus The Book Banner? (DH Chapter 6, 'The Ghoul in Pajamas')
This week, make sure you know the difference between spattergroit and spaghetti, because we're squeezing the family ghoul into a pair of Ron's old pajamas. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they dodge wedding chores from Mrs. Weasley and get a crash-course in destroying Horcruxes from Professor Granger! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Deathly Hallows, Chapter 6: The Ghoul in Pajamas 7-Word Summary: Upstairs resides a creepy groaning nasty Weasley With Mad-Eye gone, who should step and up and lead the Order? What exactly was Dumbledore's plan for the adult Order members once the Trio departed? Sit patiently until the Battle of Hogwarts? Mrs. Weasley is doing her best to keep Harry, Ron and Hermione apart: is she actively doing more harm than good? Despite Harry's best efforts, Ron and Hermione are making plans to join him on his Horcrux Hunt! Hermione makes the ultimate sacrifice: modifying her parents memories! Ron, Arthur, Fred and George transform the family ghoul to have spattergroit (a condition Ron was mistaken to have at St. Mungo's in Order of the Phoenix) Having the ghoul pretend to be Ron sounds like a good plan, but hold on a minute! Why has it been allowed to just hang out in the Weasley’s attic all these years? Ruh Roh! Dumbledore was an active member of the Banned Booked Club! Hermione has become quite the Horcrux expert (after pilfering Dumbledore's office) We get a double-dose of Sword of Gryffindor foreshadowing! Lynx Line: If you were Mrs. Weasley, what is the most outrageous task you would give Harry to keep him away from Ron and Hermione? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ear Today, Gone Tomorrow (DH Chapter 5, 'Fallen Warrior')
This week, avoid using your most obvious spells and be careful who you let through the door! A stressful battle with Death Eaters has left Harry and co. on edge during our Chapter-by-chapter reread. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura for this holey harrowing readthrough. Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Deathly Hallows, Chapter 5: Fallen Warrior 7-Word Summary: Paranoia ensues as survivors return from danger The chapter title has us on edge. Do we remember suspecting the worst for a different character following the battle? Why did Mad-Eye Moody insist on bringing Mundungus, who clearly didn't want to be there? Could Mundungus have been decent if he wants to fight? Does he know more magic than Harry, Ron and Hermione since he is older? We are glad that George is A-OK and that Molly can now tell her twin sons apart. Whose side are we on between Harry and Lupin's arguments surrounding the Stan Shunpike encounter? Is Lupin unfair to bring up James Potter's betrayal? We discuss the effectiveness of the 7 Potters escape plan, after the fact. How comes the Order members don't always follow through on the personal question / security check? Are they being reckless? Could Bill or someone else have recreated the magic surrounding "Thief's Downfall" at Gringotts, or only goblins? Ron's death count has risen by 1! Blink and you will have missed it. But what does that say about his overall character? How will this death impact him? Lynx Line: Pick a character who wasn’t forced to identify themselves, and choose an identifying fact that would have proved their identity? Learn more about your ad choices.

Zero Potters, Maximum Chaos (DH Chapter 4, 'The Seven Potters')
This week, we hope you like the taste of Polyjuice Potion because we're all transforming into Harry to (narrowly) escape Privet Drive! Join Andrew, Eric, Micah, Laura and Grace as they climb aboard Hagrid's motorbike for a fun ride to the home of Ted and Andromeda Tonks! Welcome to the show, Grace Candido-Beecher, author of Voldemort: An Unofficial Exploration! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Deathly Hallows, Chapter 4: The Seven Potters 7-Word Summary: Moody helps Harry escape safely from Voldemort Let’s discuss this plan: is it brilliant or unnecessarily risky? Do any other options come to mind that may have been overlooked? Which of the seven Potters surprises us the most (putting Mundungus aside)? We analyze the characters willing to transform into Harry and why they'd be so willing! Grace compares the 7 Harrys to the 7 Divine Virtues Does Hedwig's death symbolize the end of Harry's childhood more than any other moment in the series? Did the movie do it better? MAX THAT: Everybody out here is playing Grand Theft Auto, and Hagrid is playing Mario Kart (and winning, by the way)! Expelliarmus: If they thought this had become Harry's signature move, why did they not direct him to cast any spell but this one? Why didn’t Voldemort’s (Lucius') wand work against Harry? Lynx Line: Which Order member would you trust most if you were flying alongside them? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
