Here’s our next installment of “Prisoners” by Whitetail. We recorded this in spring, just in time for a huge snow storm in the Boston area. We talk about comfort food, including grilled cheese sandwiches and creamed tuna and peas on toast. In the story, Hermione attends her parents funeral, Harry and Snape play dress up and Harry sees Padfoot. We also get some fun in the sea and good thunderstorms.

We are winding down on our coverage of “Prisoners” by Whitetail. Sue’s breaking all the rules and eating during the pre show.  There are boat-boats and Jen stories or at least we talk about them.  In the story, Snape figures out that Harry’s home life may not have been the best.  He also finds that they are very much alike.  Harry plays in the mud and there’s a blanket fort.  We go on several tangents, but we’re Poufwa.  We hope you are enjoying this story as much as we are and we are.

We continue our coverage of “Prisoners” by Whitetail this week. Melinda is still here even though it’s tax season for her and she’s really busy. Sue is dealing with a bobcat and is just back from a con. In the story, we find out that Snape and Harry are a lot a like. We see them both struggle with their bodies not working the way they used to work. And we see that just like the hosts, they talk about the weather. We are enjoying this story and hope you are too. We hope to do an interview with the author on the last podcast.

We begin a new series tonight with “Prisoners” by Whitetail. Melinda recommended this story to us and was kind enough to join the hosts in discussing it. We record this while Mass. prepares for a massive snow storm, stay tuned next week to see how our East Coast hosts do in the storm. We blame Melinda for everything, but really enjoy the story. Speaking of the story, we have Harry experiencing unknown magic that makes things very different for him and Snape tortured and left with physical injuries that end his career. This is what could happen when two lost souls have to depend on each other. We hope you enjoy this story as much as we did.

Here’s Moony’s pick for the season, please enjoy “The Serpent and the Mirror” by Paimpont. We have Canada on the line, but it’s not our usual Canadian. We have show notes, well some of us do. In the story we have Doctor Dumbledore working to find out what’s wrong with Harry P. We go through each year in a chapter and then find out the answer at the end. The author has done a great job tying everything together. And we forgot to tell our guest about the Poufwa Curse. Oops!!

Enjoy this one shot of “How Moody Got His Eye” by pyttan. In this one, Moony is working on two computers, Sue is confused and Scott has the info. In the story we find that Moody saves his partner at his cost.  His nurse is going above and beyond, his friends are great and the Malfoys will pay. This is a fun little one shot with lots of humor over a not so nice subject.  

The link Scott finds to the table has disappeared, sorry.  If he finds it again, I’ll post it in the forum.

Here is our last installment of “Dudley’s Dilemma” by kakistocrat. Tonight we finish out our coverage of this story. We start off with Dudley and family waking up in a dungeon and things go bad from there. The family must save themselves as Harry and help are not fairing so well. With a little magic things work out and Dudley finds himself at Platform 9 and 3/4s saying goodbye to his second child. If you’ve enjoyed this story, you should read the sequel. We hope you’ve enjoyed our ramblings about this one.

Here is our third installment of “Dudley’s Dilemma” by kakistocrat. It’s near Thanksgiving as we recorded this, so there’s talk of wild turkeys. We have some of Tricia’s favorite things and make plans for the next season of podcasts. In the story, the new business is taking off, Dudley thinks about retiring and we don’t see much of Dustin. We leave it on a cliffy…you’re welcome!

In this episode we feature a little of Harry and the Potters, since they are written into the story.

In this our second installment of “Dudley’s Dilemma” by kakistocrat, we have Scott to teach us how to say the author’s name. Some of the hosts have been to see Fantastic Beasts, so we have some talk about that. There’s also a lot of pet talk scattered throughout the podcast. We are a little more off topic than usual and that’s saying something. In the story, we see that one shouldn’t drive when tired and that Harry should probably have himself arrested. Dustin goes to Hogwarts and Kate starts a new career. All in all we get to know the family a little bit better. We hope you are enjoying our coverage of this story.

Tricia shares a little about what’s been happening with her family. If you are so inclined she would appreciate any good thoughts you can send their way.
