Books and Cleverness

We're back! And we're going to finish it this time! (Probably!) After much planning and recording, we have our first return episode. In this episode we cover the major news thus far in 2022, answer a couple of In the Common Room questions, and we talk about a couple of announcements that affect the rest of the calendar year. Good news is we'll finally be finishing the first book very shortly.

Note: There are some technical difficulties with the recording and we apologize for any inconsistencies in this episode's audio.

In this short episode, Archer and Brigid talk about Rowling, how you can deal with an author who's turned out to be pretty terrible, and how we're going to deal with it personally and on the podcast. They also give suggestions for other authors and books you can read or give to the kids in your life.

In our first full Potterwatch episode, Archer and Brigid have a lot to cover. As quickly as possible, the go over the last two years worth of Potter-related news and reminisce on what once was (and will be again). We also have our first recommendation. See what Archer suggests you listen to for your first wrock band.

We have an important announcement in this episode's Potterwatch, but you'll have to listen to find out what it is.

In the Common Room accidental magic is the topic of the day. What kind of accidental magic would we have probably done had we been witches? Then, what's our favorite instance of accidental magic from the books?

Keeping on topic with Chapter 2, "The Vanishing Glass," was a little more difficult this episode. Harry's life is horrible, and poor Mrs. Figg trips over her cat. However, that means Harry gets to spend the day at the zoo (even if he just wants to be left alone). While Dudley's getting more and more bored, Harry makes one of his very first friends.

Finally, in our recurring segment, Theories and Queries, we talk about canon. There's a lot of Harry Potter information out there, but what's the truth? Is it only the books, or do we include the movies and supplemental books? What about Pottermore or Cursed Child? And, most controversially, what about Rowling herself?
