Harry Potter Movie Minutes

Ok, WE'RE BACK! NOW this is the REAL end. We watch the final movie's deleted scenes together and react in real time...with a lot of yelling...

Thanks again to everyone who has listened along with this project of ours!

Episode 10 (Minutes 1:36:38 to 1:46:42):

This week carries us back into the battle for an epic speech from Neville and some Malfoys peacing out of this whole situation. We talk about the really long, weird fight around the castle between HP and Voldy and the epic kill by Molly Weasley as everyone stands back and lets her work. Per usual.

Join us next week for minutes 1:46:42 to END!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with MOLLY KILLS BELLATRIX.)

Episode 9 (Minutes 1:23:40 to 1:36:38):

This week marches us into the Forbidden Forest where Harry summons his parents, Remus and Sirius and then punches us repeatedly with the feels. We talk at length about the portrayal of the Resurrection Stone (and is it INSIDE the ring?!) and the conversation between Harry and  Dumbledore the White.

Join us next week for minutes 1:36:38 to 1:46:42!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP saying “Professor?”)

Episode 8 (Minutes 1:12:55 to 1:23:40):

This week traumatizes us both as we discuss Snape’s memories in the Pensieve and some that are not even his… We applaud Molly Weasley as always and try to hold it together for this sad, sad chunk.

Join us next week for minutes 1:23:40 to 1:36:38!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP sitting on the steps in Dumbledore’s office.)

Episode 7 (Minutes 1:02:56 to 1:12:55):

This week battles on with some of our favorites returning for the finale. We chat about the ever changing Hogwarts layout and why have this dramatic scene in a boathouse we’ve never seen before? These topics and more, thanks for listening!

Join us next week for minutes 1:12:55 to 1:23:40!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends after Voldemort’s speech, overhead shot of boathouse.)

Episode 6 (Minutes 52:36 to 1:02:56):

This week throws us back into the chaos of the battle of Hogwarts where we wish we could have seen more of the Room of Requirement and why did the Horcruxes whisper…? Also, what was the point of blowing up the bridge if it can be repaired with ‘Reparo’? All these thoughts and more as we reach the halfway point in the final movie!

Join us next week for minutes 1:02:56 to 1:12:55!
(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with the Horcrux destroyed, Nagini hisses and coils.)

Episode 5 (Minutes 42:36 to 52:36):

This week has students running just amok all over the castle. We (instantly) find the Grey Lady and find her to be a little rude. Lots of yelling and even some whooshing through Harry. Not great, Helena! Also, how does Ron know (and understand) Parseltongue from Harry talking in his sleep..?

Join us next week for minutes 52:36 to 1:02:56!
(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Ron and Hermione pulling apart, laughing.)

Episode 3 (Minutes 22:10 to 32:20):

This week drops us off of a dragon and into a lake where we are privy to not only Harry’s memories, but Voldy’s as well! We chat about the bloodbath at Malfoy Manor and where are Voldemort’s shoes?!

Join us next week for minutes 32:20 to 42:36!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Neville saying “Let’s have a bit of fun, shall we?”)

Episode 2 (Minutes 10:22 to 22:10):

This week breaks us into Gringotts where we discuss animal cruelty, customer service, and the absence of the Flagrante curse. We also talk about Harry’s newly added sixth sense that enabled him to find the horcrux cup-despite never discussing it before…magic!

Join us next week for minutes 22:10 to 32:20!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Ron shouting, “That was brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!”)

Episode 1 (Minutes 0 to 10:22):

This week drifts us in to THE BEGINNING OF THE END! We have a seemingly very brief stay at Shell Cottage where we’re pretty sure the set designer may have gone a touch overboard with the amount of seashells…just a touch. 

Join us next week for minutes 10:22 to 22:10!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP saying, “I suppose I’ll have to kill him before he finds me then.”.)

BONUS TIME! We watch the deleted scenes and react in real time. We also reflect on this movie as a whole and how we are still not over the shard of mirror not being explained...the hell. Thanks for another season and tune in for the final movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows PART TWO!

Episode 13 (Minutes 2:05:19 to END):

This week rescues us from the cellar of Malfoy Manor but leaves us with several questions about arm carving and the lack of Wormtail’s self-strangulation... We struggle through the end of this movie on the beach near Shell Cottage and only cry a few times. This project is great. 🙁

Thank you all again for continuing to listen as we near the end of this project! See you very soon for the LAST movie as well as a bonus episode next week!

Episode 12 (Minutes 1:57:02 to 2:05:19):

This week crumbles Xeno’s house and lands the trio right into a nest of Snatchers. We discuss Harry’s “Voldy Vision” and how did Grindelwald know so much within the tower of Nurmengard…? These discussions and our favorite mirror shard included, listen and enjoy! 

Join us next week for minutes 2:05:19 to END.

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP saying "help us" into the mirror, Ron turns out the lights)

Episode 11 (Minutes 1:45:29 to 1:57:30):

This week knocks on the door of the Lovegood home and treats us to the beautifully animated Tale of the Three Brothers. We applaud the details of Xeno’s house but why can’t Hermione’s flames be blue?! Also, is Voldemort’s name taboo yet or nah?

Join us next week for minutes 1:57:02 to 2:05:19!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Xenophilius’ house crumbling)

Episode 10 (Minutes 1:35:07 to 1:45:29):

This week creeps us through the forest at night when HP starts to follow a (CORPOREAL) Patronus to a pond. We chat about ice thickness, polar plunges, and conversations that are way too calm. But also, hey, another Horcrux down, mate.

This is our 100th episode!! Had to laugh that it landed when CJ is sick and Andrea’s audio is terrible. Very on brand for us. :) We sincerely thank everyone who has followed us on this journey so far! 

Join us next week for minutes 1:45:29 to 1:57:45!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Ron saying “and you did.”)

Episode 9 (Minutes 1:24:54 to 1:35:07):

This week slithers us through the trip to Godric’s Hollow where we are very pleased NOT to see the form of Nagini erupting out of a dead body. We have so many questions here about the home of Bathilda and how exactly Harry knew which house belonged to him? Also, WHAT IS THIS NURSERY?!

Join us next week for minutes 1:35:07 to 1:45:29!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP saying “I’ll take the locket as well.”)

Episode 8 (Minutes 1:13:04 to 1:24:54):

This week walks us…everywhere. We can’t help but to notice the LOTR-ness of this chunk combined with the ever growing madness of Ron. We talk about some strong feelings regarding the dancing scene and why was getting food ever an issue?

Join us next week for minutes 1:24:54 to 1:35:07!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Hermione saying “Don’t ever let me give you a haircut again.”)

Episode 7 (Minutes 1:01:26 to 1:13:04):

This week calmly walks us out of the ministry with a gentle “it’s Harry” amid the chaos. We talk about (yet again) the mystery shard of mirror and why can’t we ever let Hermione fully be the head bitch in charge? These and more questions in this week’s episode!

Join us next week for minutes 1:13:04 to 1:24:54!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP telling Hermione “just don’t wear any.” Ron glares.)

Episode 6 (Minutes 51:17 to 1:01:26):

This week we step into a toilet and flush our way into the break-in at the Ministry of Magic! We discuss obviously the entrance and how we both secretly love Umbridge’s office. Also, did you notice HP took Moody’s eye from the door?!

Join us next week for minutes 1:01:26 to 1:13:04!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Harry yelling “Expecto Patronum” and the lift goes up.)

Episode 5 (Minutes 41:35 to 51:17):

This week we dive into the complexities of moving pictures on books, why can’t we see anything in these movies? And when did Dobby become a Disney character?!

Join us next week for minutes 51:17 to 1:01:26!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Ron saying “We’ve got a Horcrux to find.”)

Episode 4 (Minutes 31:34 to 41:35):

This week floats us into Bill and Fleur’s wedding along with the snitch that follows HP. We welcome Brock back to the show to discuss Auntie Muriel’s bluntness, the tension of the diner scene, and why would Hermione care about a birthday cake?!

Join us next week for minutes 41:35 to 51:17!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Hermione saying “We’re alone.”)

Episode 3 (Minutes 19:39 to 31:34):

This week arrives back at the “Burrows” to an injured George and his terrible joke. We praise Molly for being everything good in these books and movies but question who made the “Bill and Fleur” banner? Join us this week for the reading of the will and the excess of gas lamps around the Weasley home-which leads to a Probably Unanswerable Question!

Join us next week for minutes 31:34 to 41:35!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Scrimgeour saying “He’s too strong.”)

Episode 2 (Minutes 9:57 to 19:39):

This week wanders around the empty home of the Dursley’s and we ask ourselves, would Petunia really not have used the cupboard under the stairs after HP vacated it? Also, WHAT IS WITH THE MIRROR SHARD?! We have many thoughts on this as well as the complexities of Polyjuice Potion.

Join us next week for minutes 19:39 to 31:34!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Ginny telling HP “Dad and Fred as well.”)

Episode 1 (Minutes 0 to 9:57):

This week WE’RE BACK! This is the beginning of the end and we definitely hit the ground running with this movie. Join us for our thoughts on some hairstyle choices, why we are stripping the Dursley’s house, and who knew Hermione had a bedroom?! Can’t wait to dive into these final movies with you all, thank you for listening!

Join us next week for minutes 9:57 to 19:39!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with the flashback of Dumbledore falling from the tower.)

It's time!! Join us for another bonus episode where we watch the deleted scenes from this movie. We were thrilled with some, sorely disappointed in others. You'll definitely know which. :)

Thanks again for joining us for another season, we appreciate all of you! See you for the next movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1!

Episode 15 (Minutes 2:19:05 to END):

This week awkwardly ends another movie in the Harry Potter movie saga. Cory accurately says “it gives end of Goblet of Fire vibes” which is yes, a bit disappointing. But hey! We did it! Another movie, another season, thank you so much for listening in!

Join us next season, thank you all!!

Episode 14 (Minutes 2:09:55 to 2:19:05):

This week is it. The part we’ve all been dreading. The “lightning struck tower.” We have feelings and reflect on when we first read this awful/fantastic chapter. Listen in and we’re almost to the end! No post credits this week, just feelings.

Join us next week for minutes 2:19:05 to END.

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with the screen fades to black.)

Episode 13 (Minutes 1:59:38 to 2:09:55):

This week floats us across the eerie lake inside of the crystal cave where thankfully we have returning guest Brock to help us work through this chunk. We have a deep dive into how inferi are made, how Malfoy looks like a mortician, and my god, the “Free Willy” movies!!

Join us next week for minutes 2:09:55 to 2:19:05!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Bellatrix opening her eyes to smile.)

Episode 12 (Minutes 1:50:45 to 1:59:38):

This week brings us back to Hagrid’s hut and back to Slughorn’s true memory. We have some strong feelings about the cave’s appearance and the constant mission of putting Harry’s life in danger. Also, how does one MAKE a horcrux, anyway?

Join us next week for minutes 1:59:38 to 2:09:55!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP and Dumbledore now inside the cave.)

Episode 11 (Minutes 1:40:25 to 1:50:45):

This week slinks us into the Room of Requirement for some hiding of books and awkward kissing of mouths. We obsess over the ever-changing location of this room and what symbolism may be behind the color choice of the birds used in Malfoy’s repairing scenes. Slughorn offers the story of a fish he received from Lily and we have varying opinions on that detail…listen in!

Join us next week for minutes 1:50:45 to 1:59:38!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Slughorn saying “..it would ruin me.”)

Episode 10 (Minutes 1:31:00 to 1:40:25):

This week runs us frantically into the hospital wing to visit Ron after the poisoning. We both can’t help but feel the hospital wing looks pretty comfy about now…but maybe not the teenage drama within it. In this chunk we talk about dead birds, a lack of Myrtle, and the probably unanswerable question, how do you make a new spell?

Join us next week for minutes 1:40:25 to 1:50:45!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Ginny “You have to get rid of it. Today.”)

Episode 9 (Minutes 1:21:09 to 1:31:00):

This week brings us back to the hallways of Hogwarts for a classic walk and talk with HP and Hermione. We are joined this week by the lovely ladies from the VomCom podcast to weigh in on the up close and awkward scenes of Ron and Lavender-and really Ron and Harry as well… Listen in as we discuss Slughorn’s upsetting boy’s club but also his truly beautiful office space.

Join us next week for minutes 1:31:00 to 1:40:25!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Ron “..are gonna kill me” and lays down.)

Episode 8 (Minutes 1:10:41 to 1:21:09):

This week gate crashes us back to Slughorn’s party including a very awkward exchange between HP and Snape. We chat about Lavender again being unhinged, the holiday feel of the Burrow, and we sigh at each other over the fire scene. We just…we can’t. No post credits this week, this one killed us!!

Join us next week for minutes 1:21:09 to 1:31:00!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP and Ginny looking up at the Burrow)

Episode 7 (Minutes 59:59  to 1:10:41):

This week dawns on the morning of a quidditch match with a nervous looking Ron wearing…we’re not sure?  We discuss adorable breakfasts, multiple potential druggings, romantic drama in unknown corridors and why must the birds splat? All this and an end credits vent session.

Join us next week for minutes 1:10:41 to 1:21:09!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Cormac straightening up after throwing up on Snape.)

Episode 6 (Minutes 49:31 to 59:59):

This week brings us in from the cold into the new and improved Three Broomsticks pub/hunting lodge. We discover more misheard lines, the abundance of sweaters, why did they get rid of Madame Rosmerta?! And how glorious does the dessert look at the Slug Club Dinner?! Not to mention, some real hate for that snaky hourglass.

Join us next week for minutes 59:59  to 1:10:41!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Slughorn “..buried deep within” and hourglass sand swirling.)

Episode 5 (Minutes 39:42 to 49:31):

This week smoke forms our viewing of Dumbledore’s memory when he first meets Tom Riddle at the orphanage for peculiar children. We discuss the confusing tryouts scene where everyone gets a uniform? And since when can Hermione do non-verbal spells?  Why is this allowed? And did Dumbledore kind of suggest murdering a child when Harry gets out of the pensieve..?

Join us next week for minutes 49:31 to 59:59!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP asking “Anyone fancy a butterbeer?”)

Episode 4 (Minutes 30:00 to 39:42):

This week resumes the beginning of the year feast with some sudden and inexplicable wardrobe changes on the part of Harry and Luna. We talk about the campy scene in Potions and our strong feelings about the Pensieve becoming futuristic. Maybe a few 90’s movies references enter the conversation as well?

Join us next week for minutes 39:42 to 49:31!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP putting his face in the Pensieve.)

Episode 3 (Minutes 20:51 to 30:00):

This week climbs us onto a rickety looking roof to spy on the Malfoy’s outing in Diagon Alley. We talk about the train’s journey to Hogwarts and what is the mystery “whooshing” sound of the camera?? And more importantly, does everyone remember what a Koosh ball is?

Join us next week for minutes 30:00 to 39:42!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Ron saying “...it’s a hat, isn’t it?”.)

Episode 2 (Minutes 11:21 to 20:51):

This week plops us outside of the Burrow followed by a (comical?) scene on the staircase. We chat about the Unbreakable Vow in our Probably Unanswerable Question of the week and can’t help but love the Matrix outfit on Bellatrix at Spinner’s End. Also, why is Wormtail even here??

Join us next week for minutes 20:51 to 30:00!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Ron saying “..look like 2 people that don’t want to be followed.”)

Episode 1 (Minutes 0 to 11:21):

This week smoke-flies us into the first episode of Season 6, Movie 6! We discuss the chaos we’re thrown into and as always, things never noticed (Death Eaters stealing wands!). We’d also love to hear your thoughts on Jim Broadbent’s portrayal of Slughorn..we had feelings.

Excited to be back for another season, and as always, thanks for listening!

Join us next week for minutes 11:21 to 20:51!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Dumbledore saying “They are indeed.”)

Join us for the deleted scenes from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! If you haven't seen the first one with Emma Thompson, please do yourself a favor and watch it. :) Thanks again to everyone who listened to another season, see you all soon for movie 6, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!

Episode 13 (Minutes 2:03:07 to THE END):

This week snaps a picture of an exhausted (and apparently unconscious?) Harry in Dumbledore’s arms following the battle at the ministry. We enjoy the details in another newspaper transition and have some real feelings about the wardrobe choice for the final scene. Listen in and thank you for joining us for another season of Harry Potter Movie Minutes!

Join us next week for the bonus episode!

Episode 12 (Minutes 1:52:34 to 2:03:27):

This week propels us towards the end of this movie and the final battle at the ministry. We discuss the dais and the veil in the Probably Unanswerable Question segment and lament that poor Neville’s bravery is excluded. However, we do geek out hard about the battle between Voldemort and Dumbledore. Chef’s kiss.

Join us next week for minutes 2:03:27 to THE END!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Fudge saying, “He’s back!”)

Episode 11 (Minutes 1:41:40 to 1:52:34):

This week tromps us through the Forbidden Forest with a fed up Umbridge. We appreciate her meltdown but have feelings about how the centaurs look. The thestral flight, however, is beautiful. Listen as we lament the loss of seeing more rooms in the Department of Mysteries! (We are greedy. We know this.)

Join us next week for minutes 1:52:34 to 2:03:27!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with the group falling through the door and it closes.)

Episode 10 (Minutes 1:31:32 to 1:41:40):

This week throws Harry around during a particularly intense Occlumency lesson with Snape. We see the Weasley twins’ spectacular exit from Hogwarts and talk about the beginning of the mission to save Sirius (discussed on a moving staircase, no less!)

Join us next week for minutes 1:41:40 to 1:52:34!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Hermione telling Umbridge, “Dumbledore’s secret weapon.”)

Episode 9 (Minutes 1:21:55 to 1:31:32):

This week launches us into another D.A. lesson with swooping patronuses and a casual bombing by Umbridge. Along with our guest, Bubbawheat, we try to unwrap the point of Grawp and why was Filch emptying the portraits? Also, who was Hagrid hiding from?? All these questions and more in this week’s episode as we near the end of Season 5!

Join us next week for minutes 1:31:32 to 1:41:40!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP nodding at Hagrid.)

Episode 8 (Minutes 1:11:05 to 1:21:55):

This week swoops us out of the castle and over to Number 12, Grimmauld Place for Christmas with the Weasleys! We enjoy the feelings of togetherness but have questions about the Azkaban breakout. However, Bellatrix Lestrange is perfectly cast. Beautifully done. No notes.

Join us next week for minutes 1:21:55 to 1:31:32!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP saying, “We’re going to make them proud, Neville.”)

Episode 7 (Minutes 1:01:05 to 1:11:05):

This week pounds another educational decree into the walls of Hogwarts as we enjoy the chaos of Dumbledore’s Army lessons. No one ever needed to see Filch’s face explode but we are proud of the acting choices of several of the students (Go Ginny!) Listen in as we have our first Movies by Minutes guest, Brain Boucher of Top Gun Minute!

Join us next week for minutes 1:11:05 to 1:21:55!

(Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Snape saying, “Concentrate” then camera zooms out.)
