2.13 The Very Secret Diary Podtrificus Totalus

It’s Monday and that means a new episode of Podtrificus Totalus, the universe’s favorite Harry Potter podcast!







In this week’s chapter, Harry finds a mystery diary that belonged to a T.M. Riddle fifty years ago — the same amount of time that has passed since the Chamber of Secrets was last opened. A Valentine’s Day disaster ends up revealing the diary’s secrets, and Harry learns who opened the Chamber last time.







We make a number of references to outside sources and popular culture, which are listed below:







* Buster’s Breathless, an episode of Arthur* Philoctetes, a character in Disney’s Hercules (1997)* Gimli, a character in The Lord of the Rings* Armando Dippet on the Harry Potter Lexicon* Thomas (name) on Wikipedia* Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare* The Revealing Charm on the Harry Potter Wiki







Our Spell of the Week is Aparecium, which Hermione uses on the diary in attempt to reveal its secrets.
