- 19: Everyone Hold Hands And Say Something Important
We talk through one big scene that is actually three chapters. Azkaban and innocence, death penalty and childhood trauma, and so. much. exposition. The secrets flow fast and loose and a rat is featured prominently. Homunculi ftw.
NOTE: Adela's audio is a bit off for the first half, but clears up. Apologies!

1 hr - 18: Quidditch? Sports!? Thoughts?!?
Come for the Quidditch questions, stay for Zoe's Trelawney-in-a-trance voice.
Please send us better acronym fillers for NEWT, and PLEASE @ Zoe if you have any information about how Quidditch rankings are created (point totals? goal differentials? what if it's a tie!!?)

Let's talk about Patronuses--in the books, on Pottermore, and in the fandom. Also in this episode: a very good Quidditch match, a very bad portrait hole guardian, and Hermione deserves better friends!

CW light discussion of alcohol, timestamp 29:42-32:01 and briefly again at 36:10-36:43
Rising action means lots of plot but not as much intrigue as we move right through Book 3. We discuss some the implications of Snape in a dress that we didn't talk through last time (thank you to Cole on twitter for pushing us on this), some good Quidditch writing, and some theories about Lupin. Tweet us your best wizard swears to un-bleep what Ron called Snape, and let us know what your Patronus is (self-assigned and Pottermore assigned) as we get into the next chapter chunk!

We start with a statement on our support for Black Lives Matter and our statement against JKR's transphobic rhetoric. We discuss Wolfie McWolferson, bad teaching and good, boggarts and dementors, and how chocolate is great. We take some time to talk about prison abolition and how bad Azkaban is. This book is a wild ride.

We face a whole lot of fatphobia in these first few chapters, meet Stan and Ernie of the Knight Bus, and adopt a Very Good Cat named Crookshanks. Plus we talk through issues with the depiction of British curse breakers in Egyptian tombs. Also! Tweet at us about your headcanon of how the Knight Bus works!

Please answer Morgan's very important question: https://twitter.com/MTimewarp/status/1255848791711928321?s=2052 min - 12: Impressive... And Yet, In The Middle, Quite Hollow
We read the last few chapters of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets but we aren't hugely impressed by the ending, despite a few highlights (including, surprisingly, the Lockhart Wizarding World/Pottermore page). We talk about the issues we have with book 2 as a whole and the reasons Zoe doesn't like it, and we learn some things about wizard plumbing. Send us questions for the book 2 wrap up!

About Potternaught
From the publisher's feed
A podcast about authorship, fandom, messy feelings and critical explorations of the Harry Potter books and franchise. For fans in crisis, critics, and those who have only absorbed the phenomenon…
through cultural osmosis and are curious enough to dive in (to the good and the bad).
