In this episode, we crack open Chapter 12 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, where Harry discovers a mirror that doesn’t show you your outfit...it shows you your deepest unresolved emotional wounds. Cool, cool, very healthy.

We talk late-night wandering, invisible cloaks doing the absolute most, and a mirror that should honestly come with a warning label and a therapist on standby. Along the way, we unpack why Ron just wants to be tall and shiny, why Harry seeing his entire dead family is…a lot, and why Dumbledore’s advice feels suspiciously like “don’t stare at your trauma too long.”

Grab a mug of something warm and join us as we laugh, cry, and politely ask Hogwarts why this object exists at all.
