Can’t wait for more!
Just finished the first three on YouTube. Can’t wait for this to become my weekly routine. HP after all these years is still my go to book and when I can’t sleep or have too much stuff going through my head at night and listening to the audiobooks has helped me a lot in the past few years. I read my first HP book(book 2) when I was 12 and now 23 years later, I still re read the books. I wonder where all of us will be in life when this whole series ends and the last line of the last book is read.
You guys are genius!!
I love the podcast so much. I listen to it every Monday on my way to and from school and try to stretch it out for the the whole week. (So keep bringing those 2 hour episodes (: )
I have a question for you. I was listening to Prisoner and I realized that Lupin was paying very close attention the Marauder’s Map to see if the trio would sneak down to Hagrid’s. But did he see time travelling Harry and Hermione wandering around. And a bit more importantly, did Snape see them when he went to give Lupin the Wolsbane?
It would be almost impossible to miss because they were only a little ways away from the tree where Snape saw Lupin.
Excellent insight
Hey Brothers! I have read (and listened) to each of the books on repeat for a few years, and I love how you refer to some of your theories as « head cannon », many of these just make perfect sense to me and are also become « true » in my mind.
Here is a quick cannon from my head: McGonagall says in the last book after her dual with Snape when he flies away that « … [Snape] seems to have learned a few tricks from his master. ». This to me makes no sense, there is no way that Voldemort would have taught such a cool trick to anyone. I believe that Snape learned how to fly on his own (we already know that he is good at creating new spells) and that Dumbledore asked him to teach Voldemort this trick when he came back, as a way of making Voldemort trust Snape. We already know that Voldemort did not know how to fly when he hid the locket in the cave (he had to use the boat) and there can’t have been that much time between then and when he tried to kill Harry as a baby, so it makes much more sense for him to have learned it from someone else after he came back.
