We're about to catch the Knight Bus into the Prisoner of Azkaban, so what better way to get ready than with an abridged reminder of all we went through in Book 2? This week, reminisce on good times with Allie giving your a brief chapter breakdown, plus a selected highlight from every episode so far! 

Get ready because next week, we're heading into the third book of the series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. What better way to celebrate spring than with a Harry Potter book?!

Finally, it's all come to this. In this final episode, we finish what we started last week - our takes on every moment of the second film in the series. We discuss Allie's fear of spiders she shares with Rupert Grint, the length of time the fight with the basilisk takes, and the weird singular post credits scene in the entire film series.

Well, we've made it. We're here, and just when you thought we had said everything there could be said about this book, we've got two entire episodes coming to you on the film adaptation. This episode will take you all the way to Colin's body being discovered and Dumbledore's revelation that the chamber has indeed been open again. In it, we discuss whether Colin Creevey is a zaddy, how hot Matthew Lewis is now (Neville Longbottom), and just what book Draco was ripping pages out of in Flourish and Blotts (hint: it's not Hogwarts: A History).

Have you ever wanted to sit in and hear the hours of nonsense that's cut from each episode we do? Have we got a bonus for you, then! This week, we start off with an apology from Allie on her pointed lack of excitement around this book, before transforming into a movie podcast that felt the need to rehash the 2016 Academy Awards.

This week, Allie, Adam, and Arri all talk about Chapter 16, The Chamber of Secrets. Inside this episode, you'll find a discussion on how to breed basilisks, the musicality of Myrtle's sobs, and how in a year, they still have not learned that THEY ARE NOT MILES BELOW THE SCHOOL.

The lasting legacy of Black Women's Health Imperative first began at a conference in Atlanta, Georgia back in 1983. Since then, the National Black Women’s Health Project or “The Project” has continued to promote physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being for Black women and girls across America. With a broadened structure of national and local affiliated organizations and a change in name to the Black Women’s Health Imperative in 2002, the Imperative instituted aggressive national programs in health policy, education, research, knowledge and leadership development and communications to save and extend the lives of Black women. Today the mission of The Imperative is to lead the effort to solve the most pressing health issues that affect Black women and girls in the U.S. Through investments in evidence-based strategies, they deliver bold new programs and advocate health-promoting policies. We hope you will join us in making a donation to Black Women's Health Imperative. Click here to donate.

During the month of February, we're highlighting different Black organizations in honor of Black History Month. The Association for the Study of African American Life and History, founded in 1915 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, helped create the month that we celebrate today.

They will also be hosting a marquee event called Finding Our Roots in African American History: A Conversation with Henry Louis Gates and Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham. You are also able to simply join our donation to the ASALH at asalh.org/donate.
