    Neville Longbottom: Character Study, Part 5

    I dink it's time for our fifth Neville character study, in fact I'b sure id is! After Christmas on the closed ward, Neville takes an "alarming" and "unnerving" turn as he becomes a master dueler, which he shows off at the Department of Mysteries -- a completely error-free enterprise on Neville and all the DA teens' behalf. This episode covers Neville's arc in the second half of Order of the Phoenix.

    Neville Longbottom: Character Study, Part 3

    Alice and Martha pick up their conversation on Neville from several years ago, this time, hopefully, without repeating any content! In the fourth book, Neville continues his arc as the class dunce and is often the butt of the narrator's jokes. But with the revelation about what happened to his parents, Harry and readers begin to see Neville in a new light.

    Into the Pensieve: Make Way for Ducklings

    Alice and Martha dive into Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey. This super cute picture book includes some yaasss queen moments, a deadbeat dad, and some questionable duck-feeding tips. In any case, it's not The Borrowers... and that's for the best!

    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.

Love it!

Started listening to this podcast only in January 22. I had just entered my third trimester and was getting really bad pelvic pain so not sleeping much. Really enjoyed listening to this podcast as it’s been a while since I’ve read the book even though I know them well. I’m all caught up now and enjoying the take 5s and character studies. Keep it up sistas!
