MuggleCast: The Harry Potter Re-Read Podcast

Prince It 'Til You Ace It (HBP Chapter 18, Birthday Surprises)

Listen Later

On this week's episode, unless you have a bezoar (and a bit of cheek) handy, we highly recommend you brush up on on all of Golpalott’s laws! Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura for a show full of alchemy, apparition and plenty of teenage angst!

  • News: Warner Bros. Discovery has a new home in Paramount; plus several dozen young actors have been cast as various Hogwarts students
  • Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 18: Birthday Surprises
  • We analyze Golpalott’s Third Law: could this Potions class teach Harry something about how to ultimately destroy Voldemort? Does the creation of a Horcrux have an alchemical element to it?
  • How does alchemy present in other book series, such as The Secrets of the Immortal Nicolas Flamel?
  • Can we expect to learn more about Dumbledore and Flamel's partnership in the new Harry Potter TV Show?
  • Apparition: Just put your mind to it! Does this class pass our sniff test?
  • Bezoar! Hermione is upset (again) with Harry’s success in Potions.
  • Does Harry's cheek make him a bit to overconfident when trying to acquire Slughorn’s unredacted memory?
  • When Harry can't locate Malfoy on the Marauder's Map, why does overlook the Room of Requirement?
  • MVP: Destination. Determination. Deliberation. Which is the of the Three D’s?
  • Lynx Line: Name a time in school where you found yourself totally out of your depth subject-wise. Did you overcome your knowledge gap? If so, was it due to hard work and determination? A good teacher or tutor? Or did you merely squeak by in class and never take up the subject again?
  • Quizzitch: In this chapter, a bezoar from the stomach of a goat is used as a cure for poison. In reality, bezoars can appear in humans as ailments. What popular soft drink brand is used to treat bezoars in humans? Answer next week's question via the Quizzitch Form!
