Books and Cleverness

We're back! And we're going to finish it this time! (Probably!) After much planning and recording, we have our first return episode. In this episode we cover the major news thus far in 2022, answer a couple of In the Common Room questions, and we talk about a couple of announcements that affect the rest of the calendar year. Good news is we'll finally be finishing the first book very shortly.

Note: There are some technical difficulties with the recording and we apologize for any inconsistencies in this episode's audio.

It's the last time we're going back to 2018. In an age before... all this, Archer and Brigid talk a bit about Quidditch and Wizarding Sports before discussing Chapter 9: "The Midnight Duel."

We've made it a month! In October's Potterwatch, Archer and Brigid discuss the most recent news, from new merch to updates on Fantastic Beasts and Universal to brand new video games. We also talk about what types of expansion we'd like to see in the Wizarding World. Finally, we suggest watching Bryan Seeker's YouTube recasting series.

In this short episode, Archer and Brigid talk about Rowling, how you can deal with an author who's turned out to be pretty terrible, and how we're going to deal with it personally and on the podcast. They also give suggestions for other authors and books you can read or give to the kids in your life.

We're back at Hogwarts with the return of our chapter analysis (from way back in 2018). In this episode we look at Chapter 7 from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The Sorting Hat. We talk about the Sorting process, the Welcome Feast and Archer has Brigid play a game in Ask Me Another.

In our first full Potterwatch episode, Archer and Brigid have a lot to cover. As quickly as possible, the go over the last two years worth of Potter-related news and reminisce on what once was (and will be again). We also have our first recommendation. See what Archer suggests you listen to for your first wrock band.

We're back! It's been two years, but we have returned ready and better than before (we hope). In this mini episode we talk about our new format and the schedule going forward. We also talk about the Author and give a statement regarding her recent actions.

We hope to see you again on September 1st, when we go back to Hogwarts.

We have an important announcement in this episode's Potterwatch, but you'll have to listen to find out what it is.

In the Common Room accidental magic is the topic of the day. What kind of accidental magic would we have probably done had we been witches? Then, what's our favorite instance of accidental magic from the books?

Keeping on topic with Chapter 2, "The Vanishing Glass," was a little more difficult this episode. Harry's life is horrible, and poor Mrs. Figg trips over her cat. However, that means Harry gets to spend the day at the zoo (even if he just wants to be left alone). While Dudley's getting more and more bored, Harry makes one of his very first friends.

Finally, in our recurring segment, Theories and Queries, we talk about canon. There's a lot of Harry Potter information out there, but what's the truth? Is it only the books, or do we include the movies and supplemental books? What about Pottermore or Cursed Child? And, most controversially, what about Rowling herself?
