    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Umbridge takes the stage as one of the worst people ever. She gives Harry detention, and it's one of the worst he's had. Hogwarts turns on Harry as his story surrounding Voldemort's return is under fire, despite Dumbledore's support. Enjoy! Topics/Summary: ·      1:15 Classes at Hogwarts are underway! Harry and Umbridge lock horns in their first DADA class, and she gives him detention. The episode opens up with some shots of the grounds to engrain the idea of nature in magic into the audience. The Gryffindors sit through one of the worst defense classes ever.  ·      17:44 Harry goes through the worst detention he has ever experienced, and we begin to understand just how horrible Umbridge is. Umbridge forces Harry to miss keeper try outs, but Ron still makes the team. ·      29:50 Harry writes to Sirius about his scar.

Everyone in the bar writes their names down on the parchment and the group is officially formed. ·      41:56 Dobby tells Harry about the Room of Requirement. Harry asks him because he can’t think of anyone else who might know. Dobby tells him and the trio goes to check it out. It’s perfect, so that’s where the first meeting takes place. The DA assembles and Harry tells them how useful the disarming charm is. Many don’t believe him, but he tells them about how it has saved his life many times. They have a very successful first meeting, and for the first time that year, hopes are running high.  ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.com thepotterdiscussion.com Nox

    Analyzing the NEW HARRY POTTER TV SHOW TRAILER! | New look at Hogwarts, Snape, Dumbledore, and Lily + James (???)

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode we analyze the new Harry Potter TV show trailer. Enjoy! Topics/Summary: ·      Watch the second trailer here! ·      1:44 This seemed a lot more intense than the first trailer. There were faster cuts, brighter music, and more shots of darker confrontations. The color palette of this trailer also seemed darker. ·      13:00 We got some first looks at professors. McGonagall, Snape, and Dumbledore were all features in this trailer, and they all had lines and dedicated screen time. There were some things that surprised me, and others that didn’t. ·      28:15 The trio had some screen time as well. They’re growing on me overall, but there are some minor parts of their characters that are still giving me some pause. I wonder how different the characters are going to be from book to small screen… ·      32:42 Potter family reunion? We saw two young people running across a bridge together. They were fairly young, and that scene was nestled between Hagrid talking about family and Harry looking into the Mirror of Erised. I mean…what else could you need?  ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.com thepotterdiscussion.com Nox

Enjoy! Topics/Summary: ·      1:45 Set our goals. Harry is growing up, and this season must reflect that. ·      4:52 We open with the Muggle news. Harry has been kept in the dark over the summer so he is forced to listen to the Muggle news to hear anything about Voldemort. He and Dudley get into some magical trouble, and Mrs. Figg and Aunt Petunia show they know more than they let on. ·      30:47 Harry is rescued.

    Amos Diggory isn't actually that bad, and Voldemort is a lot scarier that we thought | Reflected on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Tea Leaves)

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we reflect on our just finished season four of Tea Leaves, our version of the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy! Topics/Summary: ·      2:16 Voldemort is really scary. With the people we’ve seen working on this show, it really isn’t going to be a strictly kids show. There is going to be a darker, more mature air about the characters and that will translate to a more intense Voldemort. ·      10:47 Dark magic and Amos Diggory. We first see Amos and slightly annoying and at odds with Harry, but that is driven out of our minds at the quidditch world cup. After Harry brings Cedric’s body back from the graveyard, we realize that Amos was never at odds with Harry and that there are bigger fish to fry. ·      16:42 Dumbledore and Harry don’t have as close a relationship. They are in a transition year between the first three and last three seasons, though we’ll have to get into season five to know about this I think. ·      22:35 Harry feeling more connected with his past. ·      26:04 Looking forward. There are a few magical threads getting woven together. Magic is clearly getting more advanced and taking on a deeper meaning, and these new developments and conflicts surrounding Voldemort will lend itself to a more dynamic and dangerous magical ecosystem.  ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.com thepotterdiscussion.com Nox

Harry and the champions face the final task in the Tri-Wizard Tournament, and the Dark Lord returns. Enjoy! Topics/Summary: ·      2:16 Aftermath of the Second Task. Ron is a hero (and gets more heroic with each version of the story), and Harry just can’t shake the nagging feeling of the crushing task in the lake. ·      10:37 Rita Skeeter and Karkaroff are stirring the pot. Rita writes an article about Hermione playing with the hearts of Krum and Harry. Karkaroff barges into a potions class and flashes the dark mark at Snape, but Harry catches a glimpse. ·      18:08 The trio go to Hogsmeade and Sirius tells them everything about Crouch’s past.

After the tense relationship between Ron and Harry, they finally find their common ground again and can forgive each other. ·      17:19 Life at Hogwarts. He sends a letter to Sirius, goes to help Hagrid with the blast ended skrewts, and Hermione shows him and Ron the kitchens with the house elves. Winky is in a bad way, calling Ludo Bagman a very bad wizard and lamenting her glory days with Mr. Crouch. ·      22:03 The Yule Ball. What a fun time of emotions running high and breath of fresh air from fighting dragons in the first task and death. Ron and Hermione exchange words at the end of the night. ·      30:58 Episode eight begins with Hagrid drama.

Harry has more strange encounters with Mad-Eye Moody, and is continuing to confront his identity as the fourth champion in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Enjoy! Topics/Summary: ·      1:56 Harry goes up to the Owlery, and jumps on a table for Moody. He wants to confide in Sirius the dreams of Voldemort he’s been having and the pains in his scar that have come along with them. He wonders if there’s something greater stirring. Then, he goes off to class and learns all too well about the imperious curse. ·      18:38 Viktor Krum drops his name into the Goblet of Fire and the four champions are chosen. This moment should show us why we should care about Krum, and what makes him ticks. He respects competition but doesn’t seek fame. That evening, Dumbledore chooses the name at the evening feast. In a startling change of events, Harry’s name also flies forth and he becomes the fourth champion. ·      41:13 Episode six begins with Harry walking down to the champion’s room. The staircase he walks down is huge and the camera is still in an unbroken shot to show just how small Harry is. Over the next few days, he learns about the dragons, tells Cedric, is coached by Moody, and finally competes in the First Task. He emerges victorious and the episode comes to an end.  ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.com thepotterdiscussion.com Nox
