Basic Snitches

Hey Snitches, Trigger Warning on this episode as we break away from our regular chapter discussion to speculate on the mental health of our favorite (and not so favorite) wizards.

Roxana is back to share some of her expertise as a licensed social worker.

If discussing mental health may be triggering for you, please skip this episode and we'll be back with you next week!

Take care of yourselves ❤️❤️

Chapter 6: Draco's Detour - Harry and Co. are back on their "not minding their own business" bullshit. Draco is still in his "I'm a terrible bully" bullshit and the Weasley twins are thriving on their regular - now profitable - bullshit.

Also, having Roxana with us is the best ❤️

Chapter 5: An Excess of Phlegm - Here's a reminder that PrincessPickle69 hates French people... 🙄

We discuss how Harry learns some new info on his future -laws, girls are brats, and Ginny is sassy.

We play Tara's actual least favorite game and decide that Julia Child invented French food.

Chapter 4: Horace Slughorn - We are unprepared. Shout out to HPST for our solution (in which we were also terribly unsuccessful).

So we meet Slughorn. That dude is weird and a bit creepy. Harry is sassy (so much sassy Harry in this book!) and Dumble continues to NOT TELL HARRY WTF IS GOING ON 🙄

But we finally get Jim Broadbent in the movie, which is delightful... they definitely got Harry WAY wrong (insert Tara ranting about character inconsistencies) but, we actually quite love the rest of the scene ❤️

Also, COVID is a bitch

Chapter 3: Will and Won't -

This chapter is not actually about Harry getting cockblocked in a coffee shop.

Sassy Dumble is here. Vernon is terrible. Dudley is understandably uncomfortable (another reminder that Dudley has been traumatized by wizards and magic!).

Also, what are housecoats anyway?

Chapter 2: Spinner's End - Sassy Snape is here!!

Bellatrix is a dumbass. Snape is sassy. Wormtail is...there.

Also... margaritas.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 1: The Other Minister - We are here, friends. BOOK 6! How did this happen? Magic 🤷‍♀️

We start this book off in the muggle world, like usual, but not with the Dursleys! The muggle Prime Minister meets with his least favorite (ours, too, Prime Minister, ours too...) wizard politician then he gets to meet a lion. We learn that Fudge has (FINALLY) been sacked and after post recording research (and asking the people who I knew would know), we have learned that Bill Nighy's name is pronounced the same way as our favorite Science Guy 😉 

Also happiest of birthdays to our lovely Patreon patron, MaryBeth!

Hey Snitches, season 6 is coming your way starting NEXT WEEK! If you haven't had a chance to listen to our special pre-season Back to Hogwarts special, check it out!

Meanwhile, enjoy a minute or so of what's coming at you starting next week!

Catch you 9/21/22 for the first official episode of Snitches season 6 where we talk about chapter 1 of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, The Other Minister

Happy season 6, Snitches! And happy Back to Hogwarts Day!!!

Even though we're not *quite* ready to launch our chapter by chapter discussion of Half Blood Prince quite yet, we could not leave you lonely on this special day!

So...we have asked our lovely friend, Ravenclaw Alex Petsche, to talk to us about our favorite Harry- Daniel Radcliffe - and all things non-Harry that he's been up to ❤️

To finish off season 5, we give you another cutting room floor! Are we as funny as we think we are?

Yes. Yes we are 😂
