All aboard the Hogwarts Express. Join hosts Demi and Jess with special guests Ellen and Keighty from Just Keep Rowling as they go back to Hogwarts in episode 1 of The Half-Blood Princesses. Topics include getting to know the hosts, getting to know Ellen and Keighty, a quote about Back to Hogwarts, Back to Hogwarts fun facts, and an unforgettable discussion about Harry’s first Hogwarts experience. Ellen leads the fun in chapter 4, “The Keeper of the Keys.” She and the others talk about how much they wish they’d receive their Hogwarts Letters and discover the real power of chocolate. Jess takes everyone on a magical shopping trip in chapter 5, “Diagon Alley.” She and the others laugh about other alleys, like Horizont Alley and Vertic Alley, solve the mystery behind Voldemort’s nose, and talk about their favorite shops in Diagon Alley. Keighty leads the ride in chapter 6, “The Journey from Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.” She shares a fantastic Molly Weasley fan theory, and she and the others talk about how they’d handle getting onto Platform Nine and Three-Quarters for the first time. Finally, Demi brings the excitement and music in chapter 7, “The Sorting Hat.” Enjoy her singing the Sorting Hat song and “Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,” and laugh along as she and the others come up with a hilarious twist on the Sorting, which involves pulling their House mascots out of the hat. They also talk about their Houses and secondary Houses, what they’d eat at the fabulous feast, and their favorite part of the back to Hogwarts experience.
