Potter Revisited Episode #54 Accusatory Whiplash AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 17 "Cat, Rat & Dog" This chapter has so much great buildup and reveals Is Buckbeak actually dead in this timeline?  Ron pushing Harry out of the way of the giant dog - MVP move Is Ron pushing Harry out of the way his own will? Or is it the Horcrux in Harry causing him to protect him  Ron's leg breaking is still hard to read  Harry's reasoning to not go for help - "That thing is big enough to eat him!"  Why don't the trio ever split up? Hermione could of gone for help while Harry went after Ron  The Shrieking Shack reveal is great  Was the tunnel to the Shrieking Shack made for Lupin like the Whomping Willow was planted, or was it already there and repurposed? The Sirius Black reveal - also amazing!  Sirius doesn't do himself any favours being super vague  Harry has a voice telling him to kill Black - is this his own inner voice or the Horcrux inside him?  Ron's line "If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too!" is such a great Ron moment and it doesn't make sense why Hermione got it in the movie Does Harry even know how to kill someone with a wand?  How did Crookshanks come to trust Sirius?  Lupin comes in, but before we can truly feel relieved, it appears he is in league with Sirius - such a big betrayal  The short conversation Lupin has with Sirius before they hug really shows how close they were before The emotions Lupin must have gone through thinking Sirius was bad all this time, and then learning that he was actually framed Lupin does a great job of deescalating the trio - without him Sirius would have been a goner Should the chapter have been split into two? The Sirius Black reveal is overshadowing pretty quickly by the other accusations and the Peter reveal  Snape Sucks total for Chapter 16: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to [email protected] Fill our our Listener Survey here: https://forms.gle/QFEJNAEtQdzXLSBC7 Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

Where are the safety precautions for students?  Is magic able to control the weather at all? Snape is covering Lupin for DADA - let the games begin  Is Snape trying to imply that Lupin isn't really ill? Did he only cover Lupin's class to insult Lupin to the students?

Potter Revisited Episode #45 Teatime With Lupin AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 8 "The Flight of the Fat Lady" Everyone loves Lupin and DADA and we do too! Lupin seems like a great teacher Of Course the only ones that don't like Lupin are Malfoy & Co - is it only because he is obviously poor?  Snape, meanwhile is still taking out his feelings about Lupin on the students, especially Neville - +1 Snape Sucks  Shay thinks she would be like Parvarti and Lavender and visiting Trelawney at Lunch Harry really doesn't like Divination this early on - why doesn't he drop it and take something else? Oliver gives a Rudy-style pep talk to the team - it's his last chance to win the Quidditch cup before he graduates Ron mentions Scabbers is in his bag, and then Crookshanks attacks - the whole chance scene is very amusing to picture  Is Ron more mad at Hermione because of Crookshanks or that she won't take him seriously?  Is Hermione a good pet owner? Why isn't she controlling Crookshanks more?  The Trio see Lavender crying before class - she just got news her bunny died. She believes the prediction Trelawney made is real since it's the 16th of October Hermione tries to disprove the prediction could be real with logic, ignoring the fact that Lavender's pet is dead - why does Hermione always do this? Shay points out this could be the beginning of Lavender's crush on Ron, as he tells off Hermione in front of her. Tori, a Ron/Hermione shipper, isn't sure  Ron convinces Harry to ask McGonagall for permission to go to Hogsmede - and she obviously says no since it's against the rules  Dean had offered to forge Vernon's signature - why didn't Harry do this before going to McGonagall? Tori tells a story about the time she forged her Mom's signature in Grade 4 to avoid missing recess  Shay wonders if they keep the parents signature on file and would be able to detect a forgery by magic  Harry is missing out on Hogsmede and we feel bad - Percy does a terrible job at trying to cheer him up Lupin sees Harry walking around alone & invites him in for tea - we would love to have tea with Lupin! Harry figures out why Lupin stopped him from confronting the Dementor - he thought it would be Voldemort Snape comes to bring Lupin a potion - we discuss him seeing Lupin and Harry together in the office and imagining Lupin and James  Shay discusses the way Lupin speaks about Snape to Harry, which is very complimentary. Harry trying to convince Lupin that Snape is bad and likely poisoned the potion is funny, considering Lupin and Snape grew up together at school  How Ron and Hermione describe Hogsmede to Harry very much shows their interest - The first thing Hermione brings up is the post office and how it is organized by a colour coded system, and Ron brings up Honeydukes and all the sweets This is our first time fully seeing a Hogwarts Halloween feast as events have always prevented it - The Ghosts provide entertainment with Synchronized gliding and Nick reenacts his death - were Ghosts always the entertainment or is this new?  We discuss the twist ending - The Fat Lady has fled her frame, which has been slashed up. Sirius Black tried to break into Gryffindor tower How did Dumbledore appear on the scene so fast?  Shay wonders why Lupin didn't do anything - didn't say anything to Dumbledore regarding Sirius  It's interesting how Peeves speaks to Dumbledore compared to other professors  Snape Sucks total for Chapter 8: 1 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to [email protected] Fill our our Listener Survey here: https://forms.gle/QFEJNAEtQdzXLSBC7 Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/cha
