Darin Tries to Understand Harry Potter Darin Webb

Harry is on his own, a lonesome man, unhoused, unhinged, unmoored, anchorless. Like a ship without a rudder, cast into the night. And then the freaking Magic School Bus picks him up and they learn about science.

Strap yourselves in for a whole lot of discussion about theories of justice. Which is what I know you came here for.

Wherein Harry Potter sits around like a freaking emo kid the entire chapter. He chases around a book at one point, but even that isn't particularly interesting.

Wherein the book comes to a thankful end. And I get all whiny about a bunch of stuff. This one's good, I swear.

Wherein a single sentence derails this entire project, Tom Riddle does a Rod Serling impression, and some other nonsense happens.


The best practices of content creation in Capitalist America demand that I tell you to "be sure to like and subscribe and leave a five-star review." But you don't have to if you don't want to. I won't be upset. This content is free, it's sponsorship-free, and it's "begging for money on Patreon"-free because, dammit, some things ought to exist outside of the profit motive. If I had my druthers, those things would include healthcare, basic social services, and college education, but all I can deliver at the moment is this strange podcast about Harry Potter.


You can follow me on twitter, if you'd like, though I don't do much tweeting these days, at @darintries. You can email me at darintries@gmail.com. Or just find me and talk to me like a real person. I'm around.

Wherein we finally find out who has been singing those Fury of Five covers (It's a snake). Some other stuff happens, too, but frankly I don't really remember anymore.
