54: Oh I think he can handle it, Malfoy
This Quidditch game determines who's in the finals!! I don't think Gryffindor has much to worry about with Harry as their Seeker, on a Firebolt!! Unless he gets distracted by Cho...Later on in the chapter, Ron screams bloody murder and it's all because of Sirius Black.
I discuss chapter 13 of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw.

53: The Beginning of the End of Ron and Hermione's Friendship
Harry learns to how to cast the Patronus Charm! He's not perfect at it his first few tries, but he's doing great trying! Another great thing that happens is McGonagall finally gives Harry his Firebolt back! A not so great thing that happens: it appears as though Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, killed Ron's rat, Scabbers.
I discuss chapter 12 of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Patronus.

Harry finds out that Sirius Black has escaped Azkaban to kill Harry!! Besides that upsetting piece of news, he gets some new school supplies, stares at the Firebolt everyday, and gets free ice cream.

Chapter 2 of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Aunt Marge's Big Mistake. A big mistake, indeed. One of my favorite Harry movie lines was in this scene/chapter, so of course I had to name this episode that!

40: The Chamber of Secrets Book vs Movie
I'm sad that I'm done with The Chamber of Secrets book and movie episodes. More Chamber of Secrets discussion will definitely come in the future, but for now, the Chamber of Secrets era has ended.

The last chapter of Chamber of Secrets!! It has been such a great time discussing this book and I'm sad that this is the last chapter. However, some great things happen. Can you tell what my favorite part is by this episode's title?

37: The Chamber of Secrets
Hermione really is the cleverest witch of her age, she figured out what the monster in the Chamber is. However, she's not doing too good because she's still Petrified (soon to be solved). Another witch who isn't doing too good is Ginny. The monster took her into the Chamber. Hogwarts is going to be closed for good-but here come Ron and Harry to save the day. Into the Chamber of Secrets they go..

36: If Hagrid ever gets out of Azkaban, I'll kill him
Harry and Ron (especially Ron) aren't too happy with what just went down in the Forbidden Forest. They followed the spiders and it almost got them killed, so it seems that Ron's great fear of spiders is completely rational. I discuss chapter 15 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Aragog.
35: They might as well close the school tonight
Chapter 35 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!!!! (titled Cornelius Fudge ugh, not a fan of him) Hermione gets attacked, Hagrid gets arrested, and Dumbledore leaves the school!! The Heir of Slytherin is causing a lot of trouble, but at least Harry and Ron know that they can always follow the spiders.

34: Please, Hermione, tell me you weren't one of the forty-six
Chapter 13 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Very Secret Diary! Hermione is back from the Hospital Wing (only for a little bit). Harry finds out something unexpected about Hagrid (even though it isn't true), and it's Valentine's Day and Harry receives an embarrassing Valentine!
33: In Loving Memory of Robbie Coltrane
This episode is dedicated to Robbie Coltrane, who portrayed Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies. He sadly passed away yesterday but his legacy lives on. I discuss chapter 12 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Polyjuice Potion.
32: Sayaa sa shi sayaa si eth
Yes, this episode title is in Parseltongue because this is THAT chapter! "I heard you speaking Parseltongue-snake language!" I love how I'm the Heiress of Slytherin and all this Heir of Slytherin stuff is happening during these episodes for Chamber of Secrets! Such a fun chapter discussion!!! Chapter 11 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Dueling Club.

31: Get the Snitch or die trying
Harry feels the pressure to get to the Snitch before Malfoy, or to die trying. And he does. He gets to the Snitch before him. But he also nearly dies trying. Taking Wood's pep talk a little too seriously? Maybe. What a fun chapter! Dobby makes an appearance again, and the brewing of the Polyjuice Potion commences! Something not so fun about this chapter: Colin Creevey is attacked :/ Join me as I discuss chapter 10 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Rogue Bludger!

30: It will be dangerous. Very, very dangerous
I recorded this episode last week, and am posting it today, on September 8th, 2022. Her Majesty, The Queen passed away earlier today and I want to dedicate this episode to her.
The spookiness continues at Hogwarts after the first attack. Things are starting to look rather grim for Harry, and the whole school wants to learn more about the Chamber of Secrets, and the Heir(ess) of Slytherin. I love how this book has my podcast name throughout! I discuss chapter 9 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Writing on the Wall.

29: Enemies of the Heir(ess) beware
The trio goes to their first deathday party..and it's on Halloween!! Super cool, right? Something that's not cool: the actual party. Something else that's not cool: they miss the Halloween feast. Something else that's not cool: Harry hears that voice again and it says it's going to kill. Something else that's not cool: the trio is found by a message on the wall saying the Chamber of Secrets has been opened, with the first attack of the year. I guess you'll be next, Mudbloods. I discuss chapter 8 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Deathday Party.

28: Mudbloods and Murmurs
My first episode with a guest co-host!! I'm joined by a fellow Slytherin and we discuss Chapter 7 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Mudbloods and Murmurs. Such a great chapter because of how much it sets up for the rest of the series. This is the first time the word "Mudblood" is used and there is so much discussion about it and the characters in this chapter. It was so great to unpack it all with my guest co-host.

27: Gilderoy Lockhart, you are ridiculous
In this episode, I'm discussing chapter 6 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Gilderoy Lockhart. We are introduced to some new characters, such as Colin Creevey and Justin Finch-Fletchley, as well as some important Mandrakes! One of the most notable people in this chapter is of course, Gilderoy Lockhart, an absolute ridiculous fraud, and students are noticing on the first day. Yikes..not a good look for him. However, all he's concerned about is his fame, and tries to project that onto Harry, who by the way, is already more famous than he ever will be.

26: Hedwig is fed up and The Whomping Willow is the Last Straw
Ever been attacked by a tree? Well, Harry and Ron have. That's right, it's The Whomping Willow! In this chapter, I discuss Chapter 5 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! This tree is so intense it gets a chapter named after it. They have some luck in this chapter for sure-both good and bad. Sorry Dobby, and sorry Snape (not really sorry to you Snape because Harry can't be expelled because he needs to learn magic and defeat the most powerful Dark wizard of all time, but you already knew that, didn't you)

25: Famous Harry Potter..together you and I are worth the front page
Chapter 4 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets discussion! At Flourish and Blotts!! There's a lot of firsts in this chapter. Diary, necklace, vanishing cabinet, Hand of Glory, Knockturn Alley, Gilderoy Lockhart, Lucius Malfoy!! Fun chapter that is done very well in the movie. I talk about why some of these firsts are so important, and how they tie into big things in the series, such as Voldemort and Horcruxes!!
24: Beds empty! No note! Car gone!
In this episode, I talk about Chapter 3 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The Burrow! Harry finally escapes the awful Dursley house with the help of some of my favorite characters: Ron, Fred, and George! As he travels to the Burrow, he learns more about the Wizarding World and is finally in a good place, mentally and physically.
23: My Thoughts About The Secrets of Dumbledore
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore!!!! What a movie!!! I give my honest opinion about it after my first two showings, what I liked, what I didn't like! I really enjoy this series and would love to know what everyone else thought! Although I think the movie left more to be desired, I still enjoyed it and liked the Wizarding World connections.

22: There is a plot..
Chamber of Secrets!!!!!! So excited to start discussing the second installment in this amazing series!! I love where there story is heading and I discuss the first two chapters of this book in this episode!!!! The Chamber of Secrets book/movie is where I got the name for this podcast!!
Poor Harry is having the worst birthday being stuck at the Dursleys. He hasn't even heard from his friends all summer. However, a certain little house-elf is responsible for that...
21: The Secrets of Dumbledore Trailer # 2 Breakdown
I discuss the Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore trailer #2! This was such an exciting trailer filled with some cool shots... but it raised even more questions and answered none of mine from the first trailer. I cannot wait for this movie! Let me know what you thought of the trailer.

20: Sorcerer's Stone Book and Movie Discussion
Join me as I discuss Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone!! I talk about some of the similarities and differences in the book and movie of this first part of Harry's journey! I talk about what I like, what I didn't like as much, and how the differences are great...because honestly, this is a fantastic book to movie adaptation. It's the best adaptation out of all the movies!!
19: But Snape tried to kill me!
The last chapter of the Sorcerer's Stone!!!! I can't believe it!! Join me as I discuss the conclusion to this part of Harry's story. Such a big chapter filled with foreshadowing and explanation (not enough explanation though, we can blame Dumbledore for that).
18: Do you want to stop Snape from getting that stone or not??!
The episode title says it all. This is THAT chapter! Almost done with the Sorcerer's Stone!
17: Harry Potter 20th Anniversary Return to Hogwarts Reaction
The Harry Potter 20th Anniversary Return to Hogwarts Reaction premiered on HBO Max and it was amazing!!!!! I talk about what happened in it and my thoughts about what the actors said!!!!
16: The Forbidden Forest
Join me as I discuss Chapter 15 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The Forbidden Forest! We meet some centaurs for the first time and learn about them and unicorns!! Unfortunately, Harry is not having a great time throughout this entire chapter. It could be due to the fact that he lost Gryffindor sooo many points in the House Cup (along with Hermione and Neville). Or it could be due to the fact that he has sooo much studying to do. Or it could be due to the fact that he has detention....with Malfoy...or it could be due to the fact that he sees Voldemort during his detention and is almost killed by him...yeah I think it's all of these reasons. Poor Harry!!
15: The Secrets of Dumbledore Trailer #1 Breakdown
We finally got a trailer for The Secrets of Dumbledore!!!! In this special bonus episode, I provide a trailer breakdown and give my thoughts. theories, and opinions! Making connections with the previous Fantastic Beasts movies and with what we know from the Harry Potter series was so fun!!!
14: Dragons?! This is the first time Harry sees one in the series? You must be joking
I discuss Chapter 14 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback!!! Hagrid finally got his dragon! However, it's illegal and poses a big problem for him and for the trio...thanks Malfoy. This is a fun chapter and I've titled this episode to reference the Goblet of Fire movie!
13: Neville is worth twelve of Malfoy
I discuss chapter 13 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Nicolas Flamel. We finally learn who Nicolas Flamel is!!!! Did Harry set a record for the fastest Snitch ever caught?? Possibly. Harry said something very nice to Neville and Ron and Hermione did something nice for Harry. What a nice chapter full of heartwarming moments, but also some sinister ones as well....
12: The Mirror of Erised
It's Harry's first Christmas at Hogwarts!!! He has a great time, is gifted THE Invisibility Cloak, and comes across The Mirror of Erised...
11: Jinxing the broom??!!!
Harry's very first Quidditch match is finally here!!! I discuss Chapter 11 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Quidditch!! We also get some clues and theories as to who could be the culprit behind the Gringotts break-in and Hagrid accidentally name drops, leading the trio on a huge researching mission!!
