Seamus Finnigan: Character Study, Part 1
Kaboom! It's time to blow some things up! Alice and Martha deviate from the official Real Weirdos list to cover Me Cousin Fergus's cousin, Seamus Finnigan (not Finnegan) in the first three books. His "arc" may leave something to be desired, but Harry's still all about those Seamus winks!

Into the Pensieve: Curious George
Alice and Martha discuss Curious George, the Man in the Yellow Hat, and H.A. and Margret Rey. Though he may not have a tail, Curious George proves to be a much more endearing main character than Stuart Little, and thankfully, he would almost certainly beat Stuart in a fight!
In this series, Alice and Martha reminisce on shared memories, inside jokes, and experiences reading both classic and lesser-known children's books, including favorite segments such as Quora Question of the Week, and Sorting Hat! Take Fives and character studies will continue, with this new episode format being added to the rotation with the other two formats.

The Muggle Prime Minister: Character Study
Alice and Martha discuss the first unnamed character to win the Real Weirdo, Canonical John Major! This isn't a Fudge character study, and this isn't a Scrimgeour character study, and it isn't about the froglike man in the painting, either, although Mary GrandPre might lead us to believe otherwise.

Take Five, Take 4.12: Goblet of Fire, 55:01-60:00
Well done, Dragon! Alice, Martha, and special guest Shut Up Tim have made it through the first hour of Goblet of Fire... oooOOOhhhh! Harry fights the Horntail (what's that, boy??), Krum fights Rita, and Alice fights to understand perspective and time jumps!

Into the Pensieve: Stuart Little
Alice and Martha enter a world which is entirely E.B. White's own, which may or may not be a good thing. Is Stuart a mouse or not? What ever happened to Margolo? And what exactly were the publishers thinking? Stuart Little is quite the canoe ride and is nothing like the sisters remembered.

Neville Longbottom: Character Study, Part 7
Alice, Martha, and Jim Dale are back to finish discussing Neville. In the seventh book, Neville becomes--there's no other word for it--cool. As usual, this is obvious to readers through his long hair, his casual demeanor, and his habit of calling people by the first syllable of their name. Neville's arc is one of the best of the series, and Alice and Martha do take a break from mocking him to praise his final moments.

Customer Reviews
Thank you for a wonderful podcast!!!
I have been listening to this podcast for years and can’t recommend it enough to fans of the series! Five stars ⭐️ if I could give a thousand stars I would!!!! You provide so much in depth analysis of different characters and themes that I really appreciate. I’ve read the books so many times but you always bring up details I never thought about or noticed and it feels like rediscovering the magic every time.
I absolutely love listening to your character studies in particular - especially the more minor characters, and also re-listen to your chapter by chapter analysis often. Your voice acting for characters like Aunt Marge had me in stitches. Thank you for making such an interesting series and you always brighten my day 🤩I look forward to the next episode - loving the Ginny analysis right now!
Expexto a-great-podcast-um!
I found this podcast out of the blue a few years ago and have been listening to it since! Alice and Martha are great at balancing their Harry Potter knowledge with silliness (or real weirdness!) to create an entertaining show! I really enjoy the weekly chapter episodes and have discovered more to the books than reading by myself. Sometimes I relisten to old episodes, that’s how much I love this podcast! If you love Harry Potter, deep cut pop culture references, hot takes, and character impressions, this is the podcast for you! Keep up the good work, Real Weird Sisters!
Hello from Isabella
I have been listening to this podcast from Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets but just got my on computer as a early Christmas present and felt that I should, now that I have a computer write a review. I love your podcast and am happy to hear from people who love this series as much as I do. I personally have only read the complete series 12 time but I have time to catch up since I am only 14. But I do have to say that one of my favourite parts of this podcast has to be the take 5 and while I am not a 3rd sister truther I still think Tim is a great addition to the take 5 even though I didn’t really like him when I first heard him on the podcast that said he has grown on me (like fungus). Thanks for the great podcast Isabella
