Darin Tries to Understand Harry Potter

Wherein the book comes to a thankful end. And I get all whiny about a bunch of stuff. This one's good, I swear.

Wherein a single sentence derails this entire project, Tom Riddle does a Rod Serling impression, and some other nonsense happens.

The best practices of content creation in Capitalist America demand that I tell you to "be sure to like and subscribe and leave a five-star review." But you don't have to if you don't want to. I won't be upset. This content is free, it's sponsorship-free, and it's "begging for money on Patreon"-free because, dammit, some things ought to exist outside of the profit motive. If I had my druthers, those things would include healthcare, basic social services, and college education, but all I can deliver at the moment is this strange podcast about Harry Potter.

You can follow me on twitter, if you'd like, though I don't do much tweeting these days, at @darintries. You can email me at [email protected]. Or just find me and talk to me like a real person. I'm around.

Wherein we finally find out who has been singing those Fury of Five covers (It's a snake). Some other stuff happens, too, but frankly I don't really remember anymore.

Wherein the Hogwarts nursing staff is as incompetent as everyone else in the wizarding world; Harry and Ron sing Social Distortion songs with a spider king; and, really, what would this podcast be without a lengthy, pedantic discussion of narrative structure?

Wherein Bossy Girl tries out the furry lifestyle, Harry Potter finds a book that doesn't have anything written on it and keeps it anyway, and Ginny hires a dwarf to beat up Harry Potter. There's also an extended discussion of the nature of evil with a, let's say, tangential relationship to the chapter.

Like and Subscribe and review and all that.
