The Fox and the Foxhound: Love, Marriage, and Harry Potter

We’ve cracked the top five in Barnes and Noble’s best Harry Potter chapters, and this one will hit you right in the emotional balls- Book 7’s epic and brutal ‘The Battle of Hogwarts’. We’re covering everything from McGonogall’s ‘Independence Day’ moment to the Beach Boys for some reason and everything in-between…including THAT major character death that destroyed us all.

Mooncalves and dragons and nifflers- oh my! This week, we're talking about the non-human side of the Wizarding World. What are the ethics of eating magical animals among witches and wizards? What exactly makes a magical creature different from, say, a squirrel? What does a Hippogriff have in common with our old dog Joe? Also- the mysterious ocean Bloop, Teen Wolf, and Macho Man Randy Savage.

After a longer-than-expected break, we are back-ish! While our promised 'Beasts of the Magical World’ episode is pushed to next week and The Wilson household is still somewhat cattywampus (look it up), we simply love you all too much to leave you out in the cold without an episode for a third week in a row. So this week we're takin’ 'er easy and having a good old-fashioned ridiculous chinwag about random things.

We're up to number 6 on the Barnes and Noble list of the 15 best chapters of Harry Potter, and this week we're going aaaaaall the way back to Chapter 5 of Book 1: Diagon Alley. What makes this a great chapter? Masterful world-building, avoiding exposition, and so much Hagrid for starters. Plus- toilet humor, wizard-y hats, and Jesus fanfiction.

This week, we're looking deeply into the soul of everyone's favorite angsty blonde- Draco Malfoy. We're talking about the ‘importance of being ordinary’, all the ways in which Draco’s personality was doomed from the start, and the glorious Tom Felton. Plus: American exceptionalism, daddy issues, and Dolores Umbridge fanfiction?

We've reached #7 on the Barnes and Noble list of the 15 best Harry Potter chapters- Order of the Phoenix's ‘Career Advice’. Some McGonagall GOLD, a classic Maurauder heart-to-heart, and a couple of Weasleys giving the proverbial middle finger to ol' Toad Face- this one is chock full. Plus: reflections on teenagehood, Ted Lasso parallels, and rando-nauting!

Well, we've finally crossed the finish line of the little play that tried real hard- Cursed Child. For a play that has overall recieved a lukewarm-at-best reaction from The Wilsons, the final scenes had us feeling all warm and fuzzy (with the occasional sucker punch of heartbreak). Plus, St. Jerome's Pizzer and Paster!

Put on your best Scottish tartan and join us in celebrating MOTHER (Minerva McGonagall). We all agree she's awesome but this week we're digging into the reasons why, including her effect on Dumbledore's puppet-master ways, her non-maternal nurturing of Harry, and her steadfast presence despite a rocky (and traumatic) life. Plus- Kev and Amanda try Scottish accents and it goes very badly!

While this week admittedly gets off to a very silly start, we promise we're bringing you some actual discussion about the next great HP chapter on the Barnes and Noble list- Goblet of Fire's “The Parting of the Ways”. Kev is very jealous of Harry in one aspect of the events of this chapter, Amanda's gotten into the bourbon, and Fudge is out here straight whacking people. We'll see ya in there.

It's time for more Cursed Child this week, and things are getting SPICY. Is it the Halloween spirit? A full moon? A lunar eclipse? Bad writing? The Wilsons are duking it out over the finer points of this portion of the (long, slow) march towards the end of the (not canon) opus.
