Half-Blood Prince chapter 26. We stock up on a double dose of Harry Potter positivity in our news segment this week thanks to some video game news and some genuinely amazing book covers from Thailand before braving the cave. What's in the cave? Nonsense exposition, zero conflict, and a lot of zombies! We can't quite work out what it all means, so we enlist Reddit's help in the final segment to try and figure out: what's this book about, exactly?

Half-blood Prince chapter 25. Our fearless leader is back on Twitter for good, it seems, so we unpack her increasingly weird attempts to cheat the Blade Runner test through normie-posting. We also take a deep dive into Harry Potter at Home, the new initiative to... ??? Plus, of course, we have our chapter for the week, which is simultaneously fleeting and frustrating. Will Harry finally realize Dumbledore is an evil zombie revanchist, or will he cave and join him for a cave quest?

Half-blood Prince chapter 24. J.K Rowling is back on Twitter and starting to give us bad vibes, but that's okay--we have a really fun chapter to discuss this week full of teen drama, sword spells, and ghosts who live (?) for drama! Finally, we put our honor on the line and take the official Wizarding World Dobby Quiz, and descend into madness trying to figure out how calendars work.

Half-blood Prince chapter 23. Without much news, we have a looooong runway to discuss what may well be the true turning point for the Harry Potter series: the Horcrux reveal chapter. We chat about narrative structure, theology, and Rowling's boasted story planning, as well as the nature of the soul and the holy nature of the number 7 (you know, light stuff like that). Finally, we continue to attempt to avoid plunging the third segment into darkness with a little MBTI-related silliness from the fandom.

Half-blood Prince chapter 22. We teach the Harry Potter fandom a harsh lesson about electoral politics and check in on the Harry Potter Skyrim saga before discussing a surprisingly good chapter (well, half of it, anyway) about our once-dreaded foe, Felix Felicis. Then we tumble down the rabbit hole into the world of PlayStation Move games, Pinterest recipes, and Reddit arguments.

Half-Blood Prince chapter 21. We kick off Magical Mischief Month by discussing feasible ways to cyberbully the richest author in the world. We also wrack our brains to try and remember what a "scullery" is. Our chapter this week is a technical mess that nonetheless has a delightful Dobby scene and some primo Snape content. Finally, the arms race to find the most cursed content for the third segment comes to a devastating end. Or does it...?

Half-Blood Prince chapter 20. Lost at sea without much news this week, we are left to contend with The Terror: the knowledge that constant information blowouts on J.K Rowling's new book and the next Fantastic Beasts film--and perhaps something else?--are looming on the horizon. We also have an interesting chapter this week, full of Evil Gentleman content, pensieve strangeness, and (at last) the reunification of our main characters. Finally, we elect the way of pain and read some truly dark content from The New Yorker.

Half-Blood Prince chapter 19. We've got a ton of news this week between the announcement of the Granger 2020 campaign (???) and a truly bonkers game of telephone about a tour guide who claims he's the subject of the next J.K Rowling novel. Or does he?? We try to wrap our heads around this strange series of articles before discussing the first good chapter in a long while. Yes, the drought is over! This book CAN be good!

Half-Blood Prince chapter 18. Wow! We've recorded 100 of these! We chat about this momentous achievement before grappling with the agony and the ecstasy of Harry Potter thanks to a chapter that both delights and frustrates us. There's plenty of interesting worldbuilding tidbits, lots of creepy dark comedy that works really well, and--unfortunately--a debilitating sense that none of it matters and that every interesting detail is a track being laid down in front of a speeding train. Finally, to celebrate our hundredth episode, we return to the confessional for a Valentine's-themed third segment!

Half-Blood Prince chapter 17. Well, here we are: another Pensieve chapter is upon us. Is it better than the last one? Worse, somehow? Tune in to find out, and learn all about zombie theories, congressmen, Rashomon parodies, and Supernatural (?) along the way!
