It's another bird-filled lesson here at Hogwarts University. This week, Alex discusses the plot of Chapter 4 (or lack thereof) before Professor Courtney teaches about the different types of owls in the Wizarding World. Is it true that Hedwig has metal talons of doom? Does Percy's screech owl ever shut up? Listen carefully- you never know when there will be a pop quiz!

Speaking of talons of doom, it seems that a snowy owl did a number to our sound bytes for this episode. We *promise* this is the last episode with technical issues, as starting with Chapter 5 we used new recording equipment and software. Thanks for bearing with us, listeners! We love you already!
