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

Did you just get a hint of salt on your tongue? It's probably because the time has come for another one of Amanda's Salty Chaps, this time Book 7's "The Bribe". We're taking sides in Lupin vs Harry, lamenting the tragedy that is Regulus Black, and drawing parallels between Death Eaters infiltrating the media and the...well, state of things in the real world. Join us!

This week, it’s the moment in All The Young Dudes that we knew was coming and is just as rough as we anticipated: the Snape-almost-eats-it-or-should-we-say-almost-gets-eaten prank. It’s the immediate aftermath, Remus is in an emotional maelstrom and rapidly being drawn back into his isolated and surly ways, and your hosts are processing an especially awful political landscape. Join us for the…fun?

It’s time for another deep dive, and this time the honor goes to the ultimate enemies-to-lovers arc of the entire series: James Potter and Lily Evans. We’re exploring what we know about them canonically as well as the ways in which they continue to haunt so many of the series’ core characters. Plus: cocky rich kids we went to school with, our beef with dragonpox, and George Clooney.

This week, Amanda’s back on her salty chap sh*t and presenting Book 5’s “The Department of Mysteries” for discussion. We’re drawing all kinds of existential metaphors from the myriad rooms of this godforsaken magic government office, disparaging mall security officers, and asking for cleanup on aisle 97.

This week, it’s a long-overdue return to our favorite foursome as we cover All the Young Dudes chapters 88-90. Things are getting tense, teenagers are really teenagering, and the Snape feud is reaching new levels of intensity. Also, we’re talking about the Venn diagram that is a circle of how Remus, Harry, and Amanda deal with people making a fuss over them, poor little Christopher and his pining, and Kev is having ‘Nam flashbacks.

We’re back and hoping you haven’t forgotten our existence! For our triumphant(?) return after a couple of choatic weeks, we’re discussing the shops and businesses of Harry Potter’s magical world. Which shops do we wish we could actually visit? What are the real-world store parallels we see? And, perhaps most importantly, which of these illustrious storefronts are almost certainly galleon-laundering operations?

We’ve returned from our one-week Thanksgiving hiatus, back hanging with our favorite Young Dudes, and these three chapters do NOT disappoint. We’re talking broom cupboards, the ol’ Hufflepuff behind-the-greenhouse special, and Kev’s weird disdain from bomb-sniffing dogs.

This week, we’re bringing you another of Amanda’s Fave Chaps (rebranding to Salty Chaps pending) and revisiting the beloved “Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs” from Prisoner of Azkaban. We're drawing all kinds of parallels to our ATYD journey, working through Kev's renewed shock about the prank that almost killed Snape, and somehow talking a LOT about Dumbledore in a chapter in which he doesn't even appear.

Well we’re apparently not done yappin’ just yet, since we’re bringing you another weirdly-long episode. This time, we’re rounding up recent news from the Wizarding World. We’re covering the HBO series casting news, the full-cast audiobooks, the parks, Broadway, and more. Plus, our unsolicited opinions about the PR nightmare that is being involved with anything JKR profits from.

In this week’s jumbo-sized episode, we’re plodding our way through the next three pretty dense (and sometimes deeply uncomfy) chapters of ‘All the Young Dudes’. Join us as we extol the virtues of British name-calling, reminisce about our collective Doc Martens history, and genuinely wonder why prefects are not seen as narcs.
