Harry Potter and the Reread Podcast David Janssen and Kyle Jahns

It's what you Harry Potter fans are looking for 42 minutes on Horace Slughorn! Hosts David and Kyle break down their first impressions of Professor Slughorn along with the first conversation Dumbledore has with Harry adult-to-adult. Slughorn is an interesting character and our hosts have differing views on his first impression in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

It's a chapter that hosts David and Kyle had completely forgotten about during the latest reread podcast episode. This chapter almost reads like a crossover episode as Albus Dumbledore visits the Dursley's residence and soon whisks Harry away back into the magical world. Plus, what do "will" and "won't" exactly mean in this chapter?

Another chapter, not from the vantage point of Harry and hosts David and Kyle, are impressed. In this chapter, they discuss a meeting between Snape, Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange at Spinner's End. It starts with intrigue and ends with some pretty lofty promises. What's going on, and how does this chapter do such a good job of shaping Snape's character for the rest of the series?

Hosts David and Kyle are ecstatic to open the sixth season of the podcast and begin discussing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The book kicks off with one of the best opening chapters in the series

It is the longest book and the second shortest movie. Does Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix exceed the (low) expectations of the book? Hosts David and Kyle are joined by special guests for a round-table discussion about the fifth Harry Potter movie, including some new outstanding cast members, how the movie adaptation fares to the book and concepts that could have been different. Tune in now and stay tuned for the next season featuring a re-read of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

We made it! David and Kyle recap the final chapter of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and recap the book in general. Discussion includes their most and least favourite parts, what they had forgotten, and what they now think of the least-favoured book after a re-read. While there are certainly some ups and downs in the book, there's no denying how crucial this one is to setting up the overall plot. Enjoy!
