Welcome to a new quarantine project brought to you by the RealzTenisFanz Podcast! We are excited to have the lovely Deb (@shackle52) that most of you already know from twitter to join Realz (@realztenisfanz) and Janina (@jlr78) as we break down the Harry Potter series while Andreen is locked up in Azkaban for not sharing our love of this magical world! We will be taking a literary dive into all 7 Harry Potter books in chronological order. We hope you will be an active part of this series. 

****We appreciate you taking time out of this chaotic world to listen and discuss these books with you. This was a tough episode to record. We know, understand and feel the pain of systemic racism, police brutality and impunity, racial injustice, capitalism, the oppressive forces of the isms as well as their intersections of them all in and on our lives. We know, understand and feel your frustration. In these times, we can only encourage you to be kind to yourself and others, do what you can to be a positive change in the world and READ. READ and ENGAGE with the works of the great writers (Baldwin, Lorde, Davis, Morrison et al) who have come before us and with us now. The writers (Cesaire, Fanon, King, Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites et al) who demand that power and capitalism be held accountable for the lives that they destroy. Remember, PEOPLE over PROFITS and when BLACK LIVES MATTER (in all forms, female, male, straight, able-bodied, disabled, gay, bi, trans, queer et al) then all lives matter *****

In our 6th Episode, we conclude Book 3: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. We get into Prof. Trelawney and how effective a teacher she is, if a teacher at all. We discuss the magical implications of the predicting the future when one is able define structural and elemental conventions. Past, present trust and friendships collide in the Shrieking Shack as Harry is again confront with a history that is determining his future but is hardly present for him now. And what of this traveling back to the past? We also delve into some of the plot potholes that we find in the text.  As always, we welcome suggestions, comments, criticism, praise, questions and nuanced insights. Be warned that there might be some cuss words but we will strive to never go beyond PG-13 rating. NB That this episode is be available on YouTube and thus easier to comment
