[SPEAKER_02]: Well, welcome dear listeners, I'm Jonathan Carlin.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, now I'm Benjamin Carlin.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we invite you to join us through the Griffin Door, where one might dig it to the enchanting world of Harry Potter.
[SPEAKER_02]: So grab your wands and dust off your broomsticks and join us!
[SPEAKER_02]: As we unlock the pooshin stain pages of the half blood prince chapter 11, Hermione's helping hand.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, boy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we are coming fresh on the heels of the House of Gaunt, which is like a lower dense chapter, lower dense chapter heading into one of the less, lower dense.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I would say I would describe this chapter by comparison, a living in the world kind of chapter.
[SPEAKER_02]: it absolutely is it's kind of like setting up a little bit more of like the the upcoming romance tension in the book.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you know what's funny about that, too, especially like as you're as you're like you know writing a compelling story is you have to have
[SPEAKER_00]: the everyday life folded into the major story beats, you know, like the thick weave, that is all of the intricate details that make the grand tapestry.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like it only means anything if there's a reason to fight for something.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like you have to have the quidage and the relationships and all of that because otherwise what are we fighting for.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like you need this regular life to
[SPEAKER_02]: and this is what people love about the wizarding world so much is that they can like they have chapters like this one where you just get to feel like you just live in Hogwarts.
[SPEAKER_00]: That that's exactly right too yeah and and it's but it's funny too that I think it's it's half blood prints and it almost I think like structurally from the seven part story it's really handy to have half blood be what it is because it's I I feel like you come back this especially
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, both in terms of physical weight, but also tone.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like Harry is just depressed for all the order.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you know, you've got the horror cruxes in camping and, you know, they're just up against unscalable odds for all the deathly halos.
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, there's death and all sorts of stuff going on.
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously we have that a little bit in this book as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I do feel like these are like the little moments.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of comical, like the quidditch trials are kind of,
[SPEAKER_00]: Funny and right you know the way that everybody's interacting it's it's kind of kind of joy is there So before we dive on in though, we got to take a look at the chapter art where Kormack McClack in gets some presence or are we calling this Kormack?
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that I was like is this supposed to be Ron?
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess it's called Hermione's helping handy you can kind of see that like like maybe unintentional swoosh and like like confused looking face
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I guess it could be Kormack, like being confunded.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's sort of where I go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: To that end, I mean, no wonder he missed the save, though.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's way above the stadium, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, so, but you know, what I was thinking though is that this is just Kormack to scale.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kormack to scale.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, he's that big.
[SPEAKER_00]: Harry's gonna say that he could block three three goals without moving.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you might be right then because the other thing Our circuit was his foot because I'm like how big are this guy's feet, man?
[SPEAKER_02]: He's huge.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's rocking size 60 He's rocking this like Timberlands up there, man
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know how how money you get playing quit it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to have some thick boots.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: True.
[SPEAKER_02]: True enough.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also note the broom style very similar to the new HBO show, not the like old movies.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kind of got that like flat broom style.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, flat broom style.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no footrests.
[SPEAKER_02]: no foot rest it has to be said as ever people people love to be like the reason they have foot rest because the actors had to set up their for hours a day so they're actually just so they're for comfort and I'm like exactly they're not even like they're literally only there because of a movie shooting problem not because of plot reasons it's like what you almost just described is that muggles need them not wizards right exactly right you just proved my point like I would it that is this your argument you
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I can't tell if what's happening though is that like I know you come at this this particular take with a lot of like energy and I can tell if what has happened is that everybody As it pertains to the footrest has a lot of energy and we're just being met with like the equal and opposite or if your energy is sort of like setting the bar as to how people like reviewed it exactly because I do feel like people are they're pretty fierce about this
[SPEAKER_02]: We gotta, you know, you gotta give people permission to care hard about things.
[SPEAKER_00]: You do, you do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you know what?
[SPEAKER_00]: If the greatest feud that we have here as a community is whether or not we think foot rest or a good or bad idea, then I just wanna say it for all of us, good job us.
[SPEAKER_00]: Good job us.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're doing great.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're passionate.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly, especially, but let's just go ahead and get that out of the way because it's a bit of a hair-miney chapter.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the other one that stirs people.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a bit of a hair-miney chapter, no doubt, no doubt.
[SPEAKER_00]: That being said, Jay, would you like to kick us off with the first sentence of the chapter?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, in this book, it has to be said, has some long first sentences.
[SPEAKER_02]: It does indeed.
[SPEAKER_00]: This game has not worked as well in Half Blood as it has everywhere else.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all right.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I mean, we have to do it no matter what.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here we go.
[SPEAKER_02]: As for mining, he had predicted the six years free periods were not the hours of blissful relaxation raw and had anticipated, but times in which to attempt to keep up with the vast amount of homework they were being set, and then the dragons arrived.
[SPEAKER_00]: So first homework now the dragons first homework now dragons.
[SPEAKER_00]: How is anybody even having time for food?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, or quitch or quidditch.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know what are they even doing?
[SPEAKER_00]: Also what's out of stones or cob stones, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's getting sprayed with that stinky marble smell?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gopsens just sounds like worse marbles like I don't know why you even if you're a wizard I'd be like I'd just rather play muggle marbles at the same game, but I don't get sprayed in the face
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know, maybe that's something that they enjoy.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a cultural difference.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe they're like, yeah, maybe you get sprayed in the face.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm good at gobsnoons.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: So mostly a trash talk kind of game.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
[SPEAKER_00]: McDonald's.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, as ever, no matter what the amount of homework they're being set seems insurmountable per other new year.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, oh my gosh, second year students had mountains of homework, the likes of which the first years had never known and could never
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it's like the very next year, it's just like second year homework.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was barely a molehill compared to third year homework.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's basically Everest, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, guys.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is shocking, too, especially when you consider, like, how many fewer classes they're taking at this point?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, I mean, granted Hermione, like Rainer, self-absolutely ragged in prisoner of Asuka band.
[SPEAKER_00]: But like, she was taking 12 courses.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, and then 10.
[SPEAKER_00]: and then 10.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, so if she's condensed at all, going into OWL, or any WT years, rather, it's like, man, how much more work must each subject be assigning that like it, it's because they will even talk to Hagrid there in the chapter.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like we couldn't fit it into our time table, and Hagrid, like, it's
[SPEAKER_00]: just sort of like a high knew it was always going to be hard for you guys.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so like I think they're kind of making an excuse, but also it's like, oh, they're a million percent making an excuse couldn't fit it into our time tables.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't believe for a second that her mind is not taking more classes than, you know, Ron and Harry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So like what did she drop this year?
[SPEAKER_02]: Just care of magical creatures?
[SPEAKER_02]: What else isn't she taking?
[SPEAKER_00]: okay let's let's think so she normally she drops divination and muggle studies right and then now care magical creatures right so she's down to just nine classes now is she taking nine right did she drop anything else like astronomy maybe i mean it could be astronomy it seems like she sticks with ancient rooms arithmetic uh obviously there may be a person strength of your transfiguration charms defense against the dark arts right all the all the classics history of magic
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't know about history of magic.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe Harry's not in history of magic anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: True.
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, you couldn't have dropped that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we just don't know, but I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's at maximum still taking nine classes, which to me is sort of like, on the very, no matter what, it feels like she's taking more than Harry and Ron, which means Harry and Ron have no excuse for not being able to fit it into their time tables.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there is that, but I mean, I guess what I was saying is almost sort of like, is any WT level care, magical creatures, like, does even Hagrid know like, I would have had to have assigned you guys mountains of homework.
[SPEAKER_00]: You never could have fitted it in.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I doubt it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I doubt it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: What kind of homework do they ever have for care of magical creatures?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, basically, I think once they had to draw a bowtruckle, I was going to say, I remember that one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that might have even been in class.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know what, the thing about trying a boat truck hole, not that hard, they kind of look like stick figures.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what's the easiest thing to draw up?
[SPEAKER_02]: Stick figures.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're just sticks, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: They are indeed.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they are actually stick figures.
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, that is what a boat truck hole is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, we couldn't fit it into our time tables.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my goodness, they didn't even get, they don't even get to choose.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not like it muggles where you're like, okay, I'm building my schedule for next semester.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, they walked into the great hall.
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't even know what their schedule was, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: They ended up taking posts and they didn't think they were going to take exact place exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they didn't they weren't even going to be taking postions.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like, oh, yeah, pottery.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess you did make a repotions anything else you want to add.
[SPEAKER_02]: Harry stole to said no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_00]: So then we also get, what I think is a very interesting line because the lessons themselves have become more demanding than ever, Harry barely understood half of what Professor McConnell said to them these days.
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is going to be followed up here, and it says Hermione also had to ask her to repeat instructions once or twice.
[SPEAKER_00]: Harry's best subject had suddenly become potions.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So here is what I think is fascinating about those lines back to back is that it means that Harry's actually thriving in one of Lily's key subjects.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like he is he is able to thrive in any any WT level Potions where he can't in transfiguration right, but like James we know was big and on Transfiguration because he has a mahogany wand, which is specifically good for Transfiguration and also he achieves sort of like the keystone act
[SPEAKER_00]: which is becoming an anime guest.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just think it's interesting that it's like, okay, maybe Harry does actually have like a little natural flair even with the prints, even with the prints.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even with the prints.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it could be.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the other thing about that though is that it says Harry's best subject had suddenly become potions.
[SPEAKER_02]: When Harry's best subject has historically been defense against the dark arts, but the big difference this year is that
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Snape is teaching defense against the dark arts and that's probably what's holding Harry back because the entire time stayed from teaching potions, and that's what's been holding him back.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the Snape of it all.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is the Snape of it all, which also means like we always sort of go against the idea of Harry becoming an or because we just feel like it'd be so much better for him to teach defense against the dark arts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it would mean that under a otherwise competent potions teacher, Harry probably would have glided into the necessary out of you wells.
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like if slow corn's teaching him from year one, no problem.
[SPEAKER_00]: No problem.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or even if Snape just doesn't hate him, also probably no problem.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also probably no problem.
[SPEAKER_00]: Since at least according to the book, he's learning from Snape.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like we harp on that so often.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, here's the other thing I want to talk about just very briefly before we move on with what their course load sounds like at this point is just how much better a wizard saidric is then Harry during the Gallaudet fire during the trial was a tournament.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, because like this is the kind of course work that saidric would have been doing for two years right or had a year's worth under his belt.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, right.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, whereas Harry was a fourth year.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, like Harry had to like he's like, you know, you know, boxes, breed creativity.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's sort of the where Harry was.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's exactly it's like I don't have a whole lot of tools in the box.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to make sure the ones I got are really good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, good sharp.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, mostly in Harry's case, you know, boxes, breed, um, people help you cheat.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but yeah, I mean, it's it's part of the, the, the, like, whimsy of the tournament.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the tradition, my boy.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone loves a holiday.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, name of the wind reference for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: The wind reference for you there.
[SPEAKER_02]: People you're welcomed.
[SPEAKER_02]: I also love the line here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hair everywhere looked over this classmates at the cabin room or at Meotime to see them perpling the face and straining as though they had overdosed on you no poo.
[SPEAKER_02]: I also just felt nice, nice.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's nice.
[SPEAKER_00]: Good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that you know, Poo, didn't get, uh, didn't get left in the rear view mirror as far as storytelling.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that Fred and George's idea of a joke is, um, on sanctioned constipation.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, or even just intentional, like, I mean, is that the, uh, is the idea?
[SPEAKER_00]: You prank me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess that's what you do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you prank people.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: But what what a long con, you know, it's like you spike it and then you still got to wait for them to like really realize that that's true.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like you're probably not going to be privy to them, you know, just sitting there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I can't imagine they're just in class like, oh my god, come on.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, you know, what's really funny about this reminds me of when I was in sixth grade, I had a buddy Rubin.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and we would sit at our lunch table together in the game that we play in sixth grade is that you if somebody put like a like a piece of food into your drink, then they won the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we all sort of formed this habit of keeping our hand resting on the top of our cups right at all times so that nobody could administer like a nugget into our food during
[SPEAKER_00]: way of doing lunch that by senior year he still did it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he would be sitting at lunch and he would still have like he would always have like a soda can and he would always keep his hand on top of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like wow, you but that like really likes like stay with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like because you know what, I'm not I will not lose this game ten years later because someone thinks I forgot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will not be constipated.
[SPEAKER_02]: This feels like something.
[SPEAKER_02]: This feels like a game big Steve would have been especially good at.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was also at the table.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't even have to tell me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It wouldn't surprise me if big Steve and Ruben met today and big Steve like dropping nugget in his open drink.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean literally.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just, I'm picturing it now and I'm like, he would still have his hand on the cup.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no doubt.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, none whatsoever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, in high school, I had a game with the friend of mine where the whole game was hit the other person in the stomach.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't a punch.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was more like just like if you if you get like a little like a tap, you know, like, boom, you know, gotcha.
[SPEAKER_02]: Haha.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you see that come in?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it was never like a knock the window.
[SPEAKER_02]: You sort of thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: But like, uh, two things.
[SPEAKER_02]: One, I do remember once about a time, there was like a relayed, um, attack on me, or it was like one of one of my friends, friends came up to me and delivered the slap and they were like, oh, that's from, that's from Marie.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, yeah, you don't understand the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you just punched me in the stomach.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, that was, did they punch you in the stomach?
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, in any case, I recently ran into Marie in the past year, and she, I will say to Ruben's credit, she had forgotten the game, and I so got her.
[SPEAKER_01]: She really, I got her so bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: She looked at me, she was like, like, they're at first, there was like a three-second delay, and they're like, wow, you didn't need to do that, and then there was like, there was like a one, two,
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, it is so odd, you know, it was like, I forgot.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the game still on the game.
[SPEAKER_02]: It never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never ended, it never
[SPEAKER_02]: So the Millennials get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Back to Harry Potter.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it was a relief to get outside into the greenhouse.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were dealing with more dangerous plants than ever in her biology.
[SPEAKER_00]: But at least they were still allowed to swear loudly if the venomous tentacular sees them unexpectedly from behind.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, there you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: At least you're allowed to swear loudly.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, well, it's like, no, no, no, it's like, you could swear years one through five.
[SPEAKER_00]: No problem whatsoever.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then it's non-verbal for six and seven.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, non-verbal swears only.
[SPEAKER_02]: I also love the idea that Professor Sprout is just sort of like, listen, I know other class rooms are like, you know, don't swear, but that's just not feasible in this room, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: We're like, it's gonna happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're gonna be hit in such ways that you'll need to swear, and I'm okay with it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ethan, believe me here, okay, but yeah, it would be she's like up there like giving a lesson or whatever and then she's like and then you want to grab don't Soap
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a wizards wha, that's right, that's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, uh, but let's see here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Go in.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was going to say the other thing about her biology though is that at least according to this.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like it doesn't seem like there's a lot of spell work in her biology, you know, sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, which is I wonder if that is why Neville excelled so much early on in her biology.
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I could totally see that one half a percent.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked a lot about how his wand being a hand me down is not a good thing at all for Neville and it is absolutely a hindrance, but yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like if all he has to do is give care and attention and be studious, then it's like then he's not fighting everything that he's always fighting.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's almost very impressive that he was able to scrape by the way that he did with his OWLs.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: So good for Neville.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good for Neville as usual.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then we got our first Hagrid update in which was that one result of their enormous work load in the frantic hours of practicing non-verbal cells was that Harry running her mind he had so far but unable to find time to go visit Hagrid who he had stopped coming to meals at the staff table and ominous sign to a job like are you kidding me bro like because they dropped your class like this is the most immature thing I've ever heard.
[SPEAKER_00]: two things happening here.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like the air dog of it all as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, like maybe he's like not coming to meals and also miffed with them, but he's not not coming to meals because of air dog and he's just miffed with them because the I suppose the air dog thing could make him like be lashing out in other directions to try and avoid it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but like when he greets him at the door later, he's just like like he's straight up like Oh, you remembered me, did you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's kind of an ungrateful little brat's bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb
[SPEAKER_00]: Is taking this class the best of our knowledge.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like if I'm haggard.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like Repair you know six the years all right get to go hang with my spotter, but always sick Man he sick.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I'd be great if they're just like one student was taking it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like Dean chose up for class And he's like D no, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: It would just be me knew in the forest today He's like oh wait, I thought
[SPEAKER_00]: Cheers!
[SPEAKER_00]: Seriously!
[SPEAKER_00]: Harry was going to hurt my knee.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Run.
[SPEAKER_00]: Someone... Jini's over there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I told Dean you were all taking care of magical creatures, but he's not... What was that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Got him.
[SPEAKER_02]: We literally tried the pool later.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jenny's just pranking Dee though.
[SPEAKER_00]: She's like, I need to look like I was doing something other than pursuing Harry's.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just really messing with everyone else.
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be the best prank.
[SPEAKER_02]: Dee is accidentally the oldest sixth year of your magical creature.
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be so good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, new head can.
[SPEAKER_00]: New head can.
[SPEAKER_02]: Deans down there with Hagrid.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're just bond and like crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see here.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know that they're talking about though how they could they could go down this Saturday to speak to Hagrid and, you know, kind of get everything sorted out.
[SPEAKER_00]: But unfortunately, there are Quidditch Trials.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're supposed to be practicing that augmenti charm from Flipwick.
[SPEAKER_00]: which is just a neat little setup because it's going to show up twice twice later.
[SPEAKER_00]: Once in the cave, when Harry's trying to summon water of wordumbledore after he's drank the drink of despair and then the other is going to be to help actually douse Hagrid's cabin.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of funny because they're not going to see Hagrid because the thing they're working on is something that will actually save Hagrid's house later.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly, to that end though, the other thing we're setting up here is Ron's a version to awkward situations because he is literally, he is opting instead of visiting Hagrid for homework Like how awkward does the situation have to be for Ron to be like, look, we can't visit Hagrid, we've got to do homework
[SPEAKER_00]: to her mining.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened here?
[SPEAKER_00]: What roles have been reversed?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, explain what.
[SPEAKER_00]: How are we going to tell him?
[SPEAKER_02]: We hated his stupid subject.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, did you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't hate it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Speak for yourself.
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't forgotten the scripts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which wrong?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, do his credit.
[SPEAKER_02]: That would have been a long year.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the problem with the screws are I mean, it is the screws themselves, but like if it was just like one really horrible like like exam throughout the course of the year, like no big deal, but it's almost all they did after an entire year of almost only doing flowerworm.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it is kind of like, okay, we did have two years where almost nothing happened.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, or maybe one year, too much happened, but nothing beneficial.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, but yeah, her mind is like, I hate not talking to Hagrid and Harry's like will go down after Quidditch Because Harry's kind of cutting through thrones Uh, you know excuses here exactly wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also Hermione's like a hate not talking to Hagrid.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like no, you just haven't yet Okay, you're not willfully not talking to Hagrid
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_00]: You've even tried to do with anything.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it says that when I passed him the court or was on the ground, he had mysteriously failed to notice them or hear their greeting.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like, if anything, Hermione, you are, you are, you are trying and your 66 year old friend is being super mature about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: I hate what Hagrid doesn't talk back to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but Harry, Harry is now kind of having this like unusual, uh,
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I mean, it's not unusual for Harry, but he has no optics about himself.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's like, Trials might take all morning.
[SPEAKER_00]: The number of people who have applied, um, I don't know why the team's this popular role of a sudden, Twitch, it's also like, does something tire school come down to watch like every match.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, Quidditch is super popular.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Part of what gives James such mystique is it's like success on the Quidditch pitch like being a Quidditch player is a like makes you look a school celebrity basically and on top of that Harry's just already a celebrity of course Hermione has to point all of this out to him and says oh come on Harry, it's not Quidditch that's popular It's you you've never been more interesting and frankly you've never been more fanciable and I draw hard next to that It's a big hair-mighty thing
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely is, I mean, it's like, because in this moment, it's like, they're obviously, like, things that are coming in this chapter where Hermione is using the social leverage of the situation, like, in favor of Ron or against Ron, for Ron, because of Ron, you know, however you want to look at that.
[SPEAKER_00]: This, I, I never read as if she's sort of like,
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to talk about how fanciable and interesting your best friend is so that you pay more attention to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, it just literally comes across as if she's stating these things as categorical facts.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yeah, pretty much.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like she's just flattering Harry.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what it sounds like.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and maybe that's maybe that's fair.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, I mean, they're very nice things to say.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's sure it often says wrong gagged on a large piece of kipper.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I spared him one look of disdain before turning back to here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, like, you know, you, like, canonically, like, Hermione likes Ron.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like, why are you, like, why are you shooting him this look of disdain here, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, if anything, it sort of be like, oh, but like, yeah matter to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: That matter to you, that was nice.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's like, that doesn't, this doesn't fit.
[SPEAKER_00]: This reaction doesn't make sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's like how dare you be annoyed that I said nice things about your best friend to you have an obvious inferiority complex with you know, he's just interesting and fanciable as all right and did I mention that he grew a foot last year is like tall now too, you know, like geez, it's like I'm literally taller.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm literally taller.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, you know, but Harry is I mean, you're taller, but Harry's still tall.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm playing
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly, exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so but Hermione goes on to say now they're calling you the chosen one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, come on Can't you see why people have fascinated by you including you include yeah exactly and so I draw a little graph here of Harry's popularity through the years and it's really just a squiggly line.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah long in twarm.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because it's like I feel like Harry's super popular in your one because like whoa Harry Potter This celebrity than your two.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like oh, he's just definitely like the air of slither and then
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember what happened.
[SPEAKER_00]: He saved the day.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he, you know, shoots up a tronus at the mentors and such loses the said trick though.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, right, loses the said trick pretty and basic there.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then he's like, you know, the champion, but like everybody hates him for being the champion because again, said, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, then it meets the dragon and everyone is like those
[SPEAKER_02]: It was pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, son, you're kind of like back on, you know, hot streak gear.
[SPEAKER_02]: More of fiber.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Precisely.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you know, King at score choke.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you have to choke.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not a goal.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, I mean, it is remarkable to be how polarizing the, like, the school must be like, all right, guys, I didn't check the schedule.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do we hate or love Harry Potter right now?
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: We in?
[SPEAKER_00]: No?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right now, right now, we're big in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, look at this, you can tell Harry is feeling feeling the flirt to his hair, it was fine with a great haul of very hot all of a sudden.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, Harry, Harry, I think I think that means that you feel and, you know, like flustered.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're flustered, man, you're blushing, I think.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know?
[SPEAKER_02]: And then her mind is not done.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can still see the marks of the back of your hands with an evil woman to dread with him, blood.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you stuck to your story anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, Hermione landed on thick.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thick, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Ron's like, you could still see where those brains got hold of me in the ministry, said Ron's shaking Max sleeves.
[SPEAKER_00]: And just in her that you've grown up
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, Hermione finished ignoring Ron.
[SPEAKER_00]: So again, keep in mind, you know, we're all those people who are just absolutely screaming through their headphones back at us.
[SPEAKER_00]: We hear you right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: No problem.
[SPEAKER_00]: However, it's like, like, this person Hermione sitting there has an active crush on Ron.
[SPEAKER_02]: How does this page happen?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have never treated any person I've had a crush on like this ever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, ever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, like, it's just like, it doesn't make sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't add up.
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't add up.
[SPEAKER_02]: All we can say is that her mind included has a crush on both of her best friends, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: It seems that way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, there it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: It seems that way.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, her mind he finished ignoring Ron to which my note was, I mean, with Harry right there, who can blame her.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just so interesting and fanciful.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, let's see here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then the male comms, and it says, Harry had received no male since the start of term, his only regular correspondence was now dead.
[SPEAKER_02]: Talking about serious, but like, I feel like also a Hagrid, writes to you a fairly frequently.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you know, and it's also kind of like, it's so cool that Harry has an owl, and yet he has almost no one to speak to.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Also true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like headwink is literally just up there like I am the coolest Owl in the Owlory and there I have nothing to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, nothing to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: I get no jobs.
[SPEAKER_00]: No jobs.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but he does also say that he had hope that Lupin might write occasionally But he had so far been disappointed to which I said maybe it's a two-way street Harry
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's a two way street, you know, like I mean, you're you're right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got your 66 year old best friend not talking to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're let's do some math here.
[SPEAKER_00]: 30 36 year old, other best for hey, my age.
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's 66 and 36 year old best friend.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just big 30 year gaps there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not speaking, not speaking terms, not speaking terms right there, they're not chatting.
[SPEAKER_02]: That said, that said, Harry's other best friend, Albus Dumbledore, is sending him secret notes.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you know, like he has some correspondence.
[SPEAKER_00]: And how old is Dumbledore at this point?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like 115?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe if we're going by this 30 row, maybe he's 166, or the 115.
[SPEAKER_00]: Funny is something I've never been said.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a reference to the movie where Ron says that he's like 150 and they all laugh like as if it's the funniest thing ever And it's just the very force just gives all the way too long That's it really does anyway We'll get to that we'll review the movies Okay, but headwig has showed up to deliver a large square package, which is of course a new copy of advanced potion making And obviously it's gonna fire her mindy up immediately who's gonna be like now you can give that graffiti copy back
[SPEAKER_00]: And here's like, oh, you mad.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm keeping it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, I thought it out.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you get to actually see Harry just like sort of competently perform magic.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so rarely happens.
[SPEAKER_00]: It does.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just like, defend now the cover fell off.
[SPEAKER_00]: He did the same with the print.
[SPEAKER_00]: The same thing with the brand new book.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hermione looks scented off.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which I actually just think the phrase Hermione looks scandalized would be great text to put on a t-shirt Come on, he's scandalized.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mungo's pulled that no context whatsoever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just mine looks scandalized That's funny.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, he then swap the covers tapped each one and said repair
[SPEAKER_02]: there you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: And what I think is interesting here is one, I can't believe Defendo works exactly as Harriet Tens and doesn't just turn the book into like a pile of pages instead.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it feels like it might happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, it is interesting that you can fool the magic like this because he like puts the book, it's like he puts the book.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the wrong book in the wrong cover, but like when he says Reparo, why doesn't like the old book cover return to the old book?
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, that is very interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: You are tricking the magic a little bit here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, which I, I just think that's cool that you can do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is very cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: The other thing I thought about too is like, is it strictly speaking necessary to not just give a slug horn the new copy, like does he need to be like, oh, here's that battered old copy.
[SPEAKER_02]: right exactly like to see I bet he's forgotten yeah absolutely yeah yeah so I don't even know this is absolutely what's necessary about this is that it makes it harder for Snape to spot that it's Harry's book later it does indeed you're right yeah for Roodle Balls lib I know what my name is Paul so funny name so people call me
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then we also get a piece of wizard money makes no sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I'll give Slokorn back to the new one.
[SPEAKER_00]: He can't complain.
[SPEAKER_00]: It costs nine gallions.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nine gallions.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which if you're keeping track is two gallions more than a wand costs.
[SPEAKER_02]: More than a wand.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's more than a wand.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's like what?
[SPEAKER_02]: And the on top of that, what else makes it unbelievable is that this book costs nine gallons and apparently holds the recipe to Amortencio, which apparently, Merot, Gaunt, brood herself with no NWT training and no money.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, I mean, ironically, I don't think it's happened yet, but she does pawn the slather and lock it for specifically 10 gallons.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that has that's after I know, it's after Tom Riddle.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I work.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, she's still pregnant.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mmm, I'm pretty sure it's after.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, um, but yeah, so I do think it's crazy, but I mean, I guess that's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: What did have the, the, um, What did have
[SPEAKER_00]: the like recipe for Felix Felicis in there I think so because I could see a world if we want to make a counter argument here because we find it to be ridiculous because wands are like your singular most important like instrument yeah however like I wonder if because wands are so specific to their owners that it's like any one wand isn't really that useful in a multitude of directions unless you happen to be the person who's the appropriate fit
[SPEAKER_00]: Whereas like knowledge is like so hard earned in the wizarding world that like maybe at this point in time It's sort of like the knowledge is more important than the the instrument.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean that's certainly a good argument that like Oliver Don't make some of these ones, but like the customer base for any given one isn't very big right
[SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, I wonder, could you go into elevators and just be like, like, I'm in the market for like, I'm a hog and need 12 and 12 and 12.
[SPEAKER_02]: And what do you got there for me, Biggo?
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, um, well, that's how this is what I got.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see if they work for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're like, like, you know, you pick them up and, you know, your whole room doesn't glow or whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you're just like, yep, I'll take it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, well,
[SPEAKER_02]: The world chooses the wizard, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, I'm buying it, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: That must happen, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, or does it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, all of Anders seems like quirky enough that he would not permit it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, that's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm trying to think of a good car to like make fun of right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like, you know, people do go on to car lots and buy blank for no reason.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, that's true.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, you bought the wrong car.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You technically are allowed to, you bought the wrong ones.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's the wrong one?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just don't think you need that for hauling mulch, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's a, it's going to look weird in the back of your Mustang, as I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're like, yeah, but look how fast.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, I'm not moving that much mulch.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm much mulch.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, take your one garbage can to the time and I won't shut the truck.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm sure a very popular opinion is insulting the Ford Mustang.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, one of the most famous cars of all time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not insulting, you know, it's all to the person who bought this instead of the truck.
[SPEAKER_02]: They needed to move the ball.
[SPEAKER_00]: I understand, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, so then the paper arrives and Ron kind of starts up with his, uh, his like unusual new phrase here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyone we know dead?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, but they have been more dimensional attacks at her money and REST.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ron's got a real, like, we'd all be crying, we'd all be crying if we weren't all laughing, you know, it would be going on.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, it's kind of interesting because it will then, I think on the next page, tell us that Hannah Abbott's mother had, she had just found out yesterday that Hannah Abbott's mother had been
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and so it's almost surprising that it's not this paper where that would be delivered to the public.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're right.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, surprisingly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, I guess our mind could have said, not other than he and his mom, right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Could have been a way to respond to it because it'd be like, well, we are in that one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but anyway, that's just me being picky for no reason.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the port of this podcast, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the point.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the arrest and here's like, Oh, excellent.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who thinking your bellets and bellets are so strong.
[SPEAKER_00]: Stan Shunpike said her money.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we get the explanation here that Mr. Shunpike 21 was taken into custody late last night.
[SPEAKER_00]: After a raid on his clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp, clapp
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Page, clap here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Clap some home.
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like one of those things we're getting wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go with clap them home.
[SPEAKER_00]: OK. Clap.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Trivia, either way, any 21, just things to keep in mind.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which means that if we were to go back in time, this is like one of those like did stand and hairy go to school together questions because
[SPEAKER_02]: Harry's been obviously at school for now in his sixth year, and that would mean, you know, 21 minus 6 would be 15 right 16, you know, if you want like birthday right, right, whatever, like either a stand didn't go to Hogwarts or they did go to school together exactly, yes, yes, in which case is failure to recognize who Harry Potter isn't against on the night bus is ridiculous, absolutely, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep,
[SPEAKER_00]: Although that is third year.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I guess if we're like really split in here, it would be stands first year out of school when they've met on the night bus.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: It would make sense that he wasn't in school then.
[SPEAKER_00]: Pro's timeline.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, in for a representative ask a man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he would have been there for a social or certain chamber of secrets.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I know, but I mean, him being where he is when he is canonically fits with this age.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess is what I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do we think Stan could be a squib?
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, I just won't seem to magic do we can squibbs fly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is he he's at the battle of seven potters, isn't he?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I think that's a good thing that is he's at the battle of the summer could a squib fly a broom you have to think no You'd have everything now because he's channeling magic.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because he's channeling magic So I'm gonna say he must not be, but I'm not sure we see him do any magic other than just operate the night bus
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which he, yeah, that's an interesting one.
[SPEAKER_02]: It could stay and be a squib, but then he can fly broom.
[SPEAKER_02]: Could, Philch, fly a broom, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: Phil's like, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like no.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, yeah, so Harry is going to obsess over this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is Rufus Grimjawa, we're stepping in at big time.
[SPEAKER_00]: It really is, stanch on like a deputy to no way.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Ron's gonna say, he might have been put under the imperious kiss.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can now it's hell.
[SPEAKER_00]: So which I was like, tell that to Herbert Chorley,
[SPEAKER_00]: Am I right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, never.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like also I'm pretty sure that when you were learning about the impereous curse Bardicot shooting was like look at the eyes.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can always see it in the eyes It's like so you can Tell there is a way to tell her mind.
[SPEAKER_00]: He should have given Ron a disapproving look here.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, come on.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was scandalized
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, let's get you on quickly quickly quickly guys.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah It doesn't look like it.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was arrested after he was overheard talking about the death of a secret plans in a pub If he was on the imperialist case, he'd hardly stand around gossiping about that plans.
[SPEAKER_02]: What he?
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, it's as he was arrested on suspicion of death-eater activity, so like, not proof of it, and it says after a raid on his clap him home, but it's like, so you did the raid and then you arrested him, but you didn't, what'd you find in the raid?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, what, like, nothing, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what is what is like yeah what I mean it's it literally seems like they have no leads at all and here was a person speaking out loud in public about death eaters right and it was like rump good enough for us yeah which is giving umbridge a little bit honestly yeah um but yeah and sure enough bronze going back to sounds like he was trying to make out like you knew more than he did isn't he the one who claimed he was going to become the next minister of magic when
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you said you invented a broom that could fly to Jupiter, so.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, so I mean, no, nobody was talking good sense there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: But also it's like, you guys are disregarding the BLM project, which causes people, yeah, like, obviously do things they wouldn't normally do, so it's like, you know, also that being said, though, we do compare BLM project to the empiricists quite often.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have got that too.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's true, and send Hermione, you know, wisely points out.
[SPEAKER_02]: They probably were to look as if they're doing something, which that's the exact same attitude footage has.
[SPEAKER_02]: So even though we started the book with Scrum shower being like, oh, he's different than Fudge.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just being fudge again, and also just like how about actually doing something, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: right right and but the the point is that was that clearly the danger has ramped up a lot and so a lot of order the Phoenix Voldemort is specifically not acting because he is so heavily focused on getting the prophecy so it's like he's been back for an entire year but like the the killings the attacks and stuff like that hadn't really ramped up yet
[SPEAKER_00]: right now they have now they have so it bit this is sort of like where you know they're definitely trying to Like offer some comfort to the population Eloise Mijon has already been withdrawn her father picked her up last night.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is I think maybe the only time Eloise Mijon is mentioned without her acne being mentioned as well right which is
[SPEAKER_02]: Almost, it must have taken some serious restraint because not one page ago, we were mentioning Stan Shunpikes, Spatidas, and it's like, wow, like, these are usually like the definitive thing is to describe these characters, and Eloise Midgen almost can't come up without it coming up.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So she, she dodged a stray there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Good for Eloise.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right, that's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So then we got Ron sort of being like, you know, why would they get picked up?
[SPEAKER_00]: Hogwarts is safer than the homes.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Dumbledore, and her mind is like, I don't think we've got them all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Haven't you noticed his seat's been empty as often as Hagrid's this past week?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, he says, yeah, it's safer than the rooms that we've got ors and all those extra predictors spells and double doors.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, how has that actually helped in the past five years?
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, double doors, but expelled twice and moody was in order to.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Things, things, you know what, this school just doesn't say.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's safe.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're not.
[SPEAKER_00]: We just, guys, we just got to get there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Got to get to that conclusion.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you got to start, you know, look at the pain on the walls.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: They literally said we're going to, the air of slow that was going to
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right, that's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Also next year, we're the Schmiffleblown Torture on purpose.
[SPEAKER_00]: On purpose.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And your caretaker actively walks around wanting to use thumbs grooves.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, nothing about all those are also flying berm sticks and removal of bone in arm and we could just keep going.
[SPEAKER_00]: We can keep going.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sender and died.
[SPEAKER_00]: He did, definitely somewhere else to be fair.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well true, but he did depart from the school.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the planet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, sorry, sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's so cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not that far.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Harry now come to think of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Had not seen Dumbledore since their private lesson a week ago.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's funny that Hermione is the one speculating here because Harry is having one on one time with him.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he probably would be in a better position.
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's out finding bull memories.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because Hermione's going to say that he's left to do something with the order.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, she's, yeah, I mean, it's all looking serious, isn't it, it's like, yes, it is, that's definitely looking very serious.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then there've been the horrible incident that they before when Hannah Abbott had been taking down her biology and told her mother, had been found dead, you're right, it's true, but in that newspaper.
[SPEAKER_00]: So also, I feel like that gets Glenn Silver, the Abbott's are dead, that's insane.
[SPEAKER_02]: And also, it's like, no, it also though, no wonder her never get on so well, you know, certainly have it's like, oh, yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: both big victims of the old Voldemort movement.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd never really know about that before.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, this sentence is the only time it's mentioned.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right, you're right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, it's, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's, it's almost surprising to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm like, that's a hefty or blow that I feel like it is ever given.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's like, Hannah is not like a main character, but we do spend some time with her on page.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, like she, yeah, she, you know, she's a recurring character.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's a DA member.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, we're thinking about Johanna just seeing now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, then, uh, then we head down to the Quidditch pitch.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, begin, let's see, they passed Lavender Brown and Parvati Patel.
[SPEAKER_02]: Remembering that Hermione says about the Patel to its parents, one of the belief Hogwarts Harry was unsurprisingly the two best friends were whispering together looking distressed.
[SPEAKER_02]: What surprised them was when we were on住 level with them, Parvati said to the nudge lavender, who looked around and gave her on a wild smile.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ron blinked at her then returned a smile uncertainly.
[SPEAKER_00]: His walk instantly became something more like a strut.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't laugh.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: I ended up drawing a graph of Ron's confidant.
[SPEAKER_00]: The volatility of Ron's confidence, which looks almost exactly the same as Harry's populate.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: All over the place.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's sort of like Ron, Ron Ebson flows with such little nudges of interaction.
[SPEAKER_02]: Harry resisted the deviation to laugh, which I'm like,
[SPEAKER_02]: That a girl likes him.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the stride is sort of like it's like wow dude You really left that get to your head.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah immediately.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like just just so fast right and then Junnie said hi to Harry and he began Stradig Although Harry to his kind of his sort of like yeah, well, you know the girl that you actually secret like just told me like super called me super interesting and
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and fancy bullet tall and stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's a little bit the chosen one.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not saying that means she's choosing me, but I am the chosen ones.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, I mean, you know, we've so packed out.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're kind of getting there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're getting there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so Ron's all fluffed up about this.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Hermione looks cold and distant all the way down to the stadium and departed to find a place in the stands with how to wish and wrong, good luck.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, which I'm like, why, why?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because of the lavender, what are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_02]: Just ask him out, bro, like, what is going on?
[SPEAKER_02]: See, here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, lavender smiled at Ron and Hermione reacts this way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hermione is like oozing all over Harry and Ron's like, ah, ah!
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, Ron has way more reason to be like, like, at least over the past two pages.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, to be like, Hermione, you're out of line.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, no, you're correct, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Hermione is just gushing about Harry in front of Ron, and he's being all indignant, and she's like giving him scathing looks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right.
[SPEAKER_00]: And here are other smiles uncertainly at her.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, Ron's like,
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, yeah cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's up Lavender?
[SPEAKER_02]: How are you?
[SPEAKER_02]: And her mind is like well, that's it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're basically dead to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'm still going to cheat to get you on the team, but you know, I'm like, you know, right now though on that, you know, win that my favorite.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm mad at you because she smiled at you.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is even fair, but don't be mad at me for gushing over Harry.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's not fair.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I made major double standard stuff going on right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Big old.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So half of Griffin Door House seemed to have turned up from first years who were nervously clutching a selection of the dreadful old school rooms to seventh years who were towering over the rest.
[SPEAKER_02]: to which I'm like, do you mean Katie is Katie Bell towering over the rest because she's the only seventh year actually ends up making the team.
[SPEAKER_00]: True.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the latter included a large wiring here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Boy, Harry, recognized immediately from the Hogwarts Express.
[SPEAKER_00]: We made on the train and old slung his compartment.
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, Cole McClackin, keep up and you wish.
[SPEAKER_00]: You wish.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's just one of our favorite sort of like pocket theories, if you will.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because Harry's
[SPEAKER_00]: did you ask Harry taking it wasn't at tryouts true yeah true um that's a good point because he's in detention watching it through the window and thinks it's wrong making saves right that's a very good point um you want a child's last year did you uh taking note of the breadth of McClackin in according to the chapter art he would probably block all three gold hoops without even moving
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably true.
[SPEAKER_00]: See what I did there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I modified it a little bit to include the chapter art.
[SPEAKER_00]: I noticed that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was in the hospital wing on the health trials.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a pound of doxie eggs for a bet.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is basically the theory here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that friend and George for as much of a hard time as they give her on all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe are the ones who have the doxiegs because we literally see them interact with them at Grim all place while they're dedoxying the curtains.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they would be the ones to have it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they would be looking at McClag and being like, okay, so Oliver for years has been our keeper.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fourth year, well, Harry's fourth year, goblet year, there wasn't quite it because the try was a tournament.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then,
[SPEAKER_00]: And so order of the Phoenix would have been the first year, man, I let my brain lapse there.
[SPEAKER_00]: What if it's one of the first year that Kormack would have been a problem?
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like where something could have come up where he would have been the candidate to do it because otherwise it's just all of her who's capped in followed by a year of new play.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, but also it's just sort of like the so determined to be a single position on the team.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like if you're with this good at quidditch, like probably you're like, um, okay, beater as well or like even just a chaser, you know, right, like you could play other positions, you know, it's not like keeper or bus.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, he will also try to play all the positions.
[SPEAKER_00]: He will try.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but anyway, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's that's where we, uh, we think Fred and George made a little little step in there to help.
[SPEAKER_00]: help their little bro out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, Ben, the whole team really.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we're going to start to have to count some numbers here, because there is like literally half the school out for this, maybe not literally, but close.
[SPEAKER_00]: Close.
[SPEAKER_00]: So here to decide to start with a basic task, asking all applicants for the team to divide into groups of 10, and fly once around the pitch.
[SPEAKER_00]: This was a good decision.
[SPEAKER_00]: The first 10, it's like it's a 10.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're made up of first years, I think only one of which actually managed to get airborne for more than a few seconds and he was so surprised that he promptly crashed into one of the gold posts.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_00]: Which I think also really shows how much of a feat it must have been for Harry to be as good on a broomstick immediately as he was.
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because that it seems like flying at all pretty significant pretty good.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Harry catches the remember ball.
[SPEAKER_00]: Y'all, we got to keep brief pause right there to give a huge thank you to today's sponsor, Shopify.
[SPEAKER_00]: My wife, Allison, I own a consignment store in Salem, Virginia called nude.
[SPEAKER_00]: I say, we, it's mostly her.
[SPEAKER_00]: My contribution was using gold hangers if you've ever been in person.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you've seen that, that was me.
[SPEAKER_00]: But in person is how it all started, brick and mortar.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's because Allison, her family who run it, love to make people feel special.
[SPEAKER_00]: But a challenge any business
[SPEAKER_00]: Check out.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is until Shopify because we're great customer service in a person is usually planning for folks to feel confident in their purchase, a complicated checkout procedure online can lead to abandoned carts and that's bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: And in my personal opinion, no one does check out better than Shopify.
[SPEAKER_00]: They make it easy to store your billing and shipping information along with payment options.
[SPEAKER_00]: so check out is a breeze.
[SPEAKER_00]: That keeps the experience moved as both a shopper myself and a vendor.
[SPEAKER_00]: And for us, oftentimes, it means that we get to hear that beloved over-morting coffee.
[SPEAKER_00]: With Shopify, nothing stands between your idea and a real business.
[SPEAKER_00]: So go make it one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Check it out for yourself and start a free trial at Shopify.com slash Griffin.
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, that's shoppy.com slash Griffin.
[SPEAKER_00]: Last time, just for safety, get a free trial at Shopify.com slash Griffin.
[SPEAKER_02]: Harry catches the remember all, uh, I for a 50 foot dive, which according to McGonagold, Charlie Weasley couldn't have done it exactly exactly exactly exactly on his first go on his first go so no problem.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so then we get to our second group, which means, uh, 10 more students and we're up to 20.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is comprised of 10 of the silliest girls Harry had ever encountered.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remilled the mains.
[SPEAKER_00]: One of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we have the third group up to 30.
[SPEAKER_00]: Had a pile up halfway around the pitch.
[SPEAKER_02]: Most of the pile up.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in the air.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wearing boots.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Tim Berlin's probably.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, I love that the silly girls.
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't get up to pitch.
[SPEAKER_02]: So they do it quite cheerfully.
[SPEAKER_02]: And one of the stands to heckle everyone else.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, to heckle.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're other Griffin doors.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, what are you doing?
[SPEAKER_02]: Why are they heckling?
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no idea.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just being silly.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess so.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they are the sillyest grossies ever seen.
[SPEAKER_02]: That are the sillyest grossies I've seen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we have the third group, which gets us up a 30, pile up.
[SPEAKER_00]: The fourth group came without broomsticks.
[SPEAKER_00]: That gets us the 40 people applying fifth group were Hufflepuffs.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's 50 people who were waiting out there for Harry when he showed up.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then anyone else who's not a griffin door, Harry Ward, leave now, please.
[SPEAKER_02]: That a couple of little rave and clothes went sprinting off the pitch, they're moving laughter.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that means we are at greater than or equal to 52 people.
[SPEAKER_00]: 52 people who have showed up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then after two hours, many complaints, several tantrums.
[SPEAKER_00]: Harry, zero is in on three chasers, which is going to be Katie Bell, the Melso Robbins, and Jenny Weesley, which means we are at greater than or equal to 55 applicants.
[SPEAKER_00]: Assuming that the only three applicants at that point in time were those three people which it doesn't seem like they would be doesn't seem like it would be That seemed like it would take two hours to figure that out right, but so, but we know for certain that we're up to greater than or equal to 55
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he does a similar thing with the beaters, which he can zero in on as Jimmy Peaks, and a richy-cute little piece of trivia there for you, which means that we're at greater than or equal to 57.
[SPEAKER_00]: But also, again, more likely more than that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Harry had deliberately left the trial of the keepers until last, hoping for an empty or stadium and less pressure for all concerned, however, this completely backfires in basically the entire schools there to watch the
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Good for Ron.
[SPEAKER_02]: So many things going on here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, just like, oh, first of all, um, let's, like, so if we count Ron and Kormack, then we're up to 59 and then Harry himself would be an even 60.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, but that's the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, it also says none of the first five applicants saved more than two goals a piece.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, so now we're up to 65.
[SPEAKER_00]: 65.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, including hairy, including hairy.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's not half of the of the school's populist, which we tend to approximate at what 40 times 7 280 people.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's like a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: When we were definitely nearing quarter, a quarter, we're looking for it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, then it's like what 40 griffin doors that's over half a griffin door house.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, at least.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep indeed.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So then it comes down to, uh, Kormack and, um, uh, Kormack, who it saves four of the five penalties but on the last one, it shoots off completely on the wrong direction.
[SPEAKER_00]: What?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then, then, uh, Ron looked ready to pass out as he mounted his clean sweep of 11.
[SPEAKER_00]: Good luck.
[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of voice from the stands.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's turned around expecting to be humanity, but it was in the haven to browse.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was like also her mining.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why doesn't her mining say good luck, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean now it's like the moment like that now's the moment where we are hours from the discussion this morning Right, you can give him a good luck.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know right also.
[SPEAKER_02]: I hate that everyone's allowed to just watch the trial So feels like that should not be allowed.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I mean like what if it's given away like team secrets and stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but Harry need not have worried Ron saved 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 penalties in a row, which is almost surprising.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm like, what, like, Ron's nerves normally do get the best of him and there's, I mean, is it just lavender saying good luck?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, is that fluffing them up enough to get him there?
[SPEAKER_00]: No way.
[SPEAKER_02]: The thing is, here's the other thing though, is that her, it says like her mind is helping hand, but Ron saves these on his own.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's like, she didn't actually need to help.
[SPEAKER_02]: He still say like, like, she helps and like makes Kormack miss one, but like, even if she had it, Ron still saves five.
[SPEAKER_02]: And even when she does, Ron still has to save five, which he does.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's almost like Harriet that point.
[SPEAKER_00]: I could have been like look it came down to you to both of you I think Ron's a better choice and core Matt could be like why does the green back well too bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the captain.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that's the other thing like Harry is really going to dig in on this like, oh, like Oh, Ron's you you say four Ron say five that's it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ron's keeper and I'm like even if it had been the other way around even if
[SPEAKER_02]: even if you both say four or you'd say five and wrongs say four.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like it doesn't matter It's like that's not the end all be all the discussion.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's like more to it to being on a team Even last year Angelina Johnson was like Ron wasn't the best choice But I picked him because the other people had different priorities or like wouldn't be a good fit on the team
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly, no, and Harry's like nope, it's just because of this and no other reason I'm like Harry not only is he your best friend and the hero of last year's team, but also Kormack clearly sucks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it would have been so easy to just like like solve this out, but yeah, either way.
[SPEAKER_00]: McClack and it's not happy about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: This just didn't really try.
[SPEAKER_00]: She gave him an easy one and here's like rubbish.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was one he nearly missed.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, yeah, Harry.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a good argument to the guy who's mad about not making a spot that he almost missed the easy to save one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then McLacken took a step near Harry who stood his ground this time.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he does he just steps back before and I'm sort of like honestly You know like McLacken if you think you're gonna intimidate Harry that much when Harry space Valdemois.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I know it's like you're a guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I love this one It's like yeah, McLacken took a step near it was like as if he could scare Harry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Harry's like what what
[SPEAKER_00]: My entire thing is bravery, they're good at it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you've noticed, you think you scare me, bro?
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think so.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me another go.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, was it Harry?
[SPEAKER_00]: You've had your go.
[SPEAKER_00]: You say four, Ron say five.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ron's keeper.
[SPEAKER_00]: He won it parents square.
[SPEAKER_00]: Get out of my way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Take care of business.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Captaining right there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I dare say.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, I agree.
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, Ron, Hermione Rebels, who kind of like, reconvened you did brilliantly, Ron.
[SPEAKER_00]: This time it really was Hermione running toward them from the stands.
[SPEAKER_00]: This time, Lavender is walking up the pitch, Armin Arm with Barvadi, a rather grumpy expression on her face.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why?
[SPEAKER_00]: This love triangle is so obvious.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, all three, every, Lavender and Hermione both though exactly what's going on, Ron is oblivious.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't super get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Ron looked extremely pleasing himself, even taller than usual as he grinned at the team end it to my knee.
[SPEAKER_00]: Woo, wink, wink, wink, wink, wink, wink, wink.
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of smiling going on in this chapter, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: Geez, guys, keep it in your robes already.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, dear.
[SPEAKER_02]: A watery sun was trying to break through the clouds, and I love that rod's just recap.
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was going to miss that fourth penalty rod, I was saying happily.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tricky shot from Damellzer.
[SPEAKER_02]: You see, I had to spin on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Harry says it's the one that Ginny shot that he almost missed, but Ron says it's the one from Damellzer that he almost missed.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like now there were two that he almost missed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But either way.
[SPEAKER_00]: It reminds me though of the way that Ron recap last year, too.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, he's left.
[SPEAKER_00]: My right, of course.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, he loves a good recap.
[SPEAKER_00]: He does.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just like, yeah, he's like, living in it.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, I'm going to replay it in his mind.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you can see it, you know, that's what she's really.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like how a lot of sports is.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to regale people with your miraculous speeds of humanity.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then her mind is finally being nice or yes, yes, you were magnificent, such a mindy looking amused.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like she's like almost laughing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like the phrasing of looking amused.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like she's like, like, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, oh, isn't it cute?
[SPEAKER_02]: How into this you are when it doesn't even matter or something?
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, I understand that there are more important things than this, but it's also, it is deeply important to a lot of people.
[SPEAKER_00]: right now like including every including present company.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then Ron at this is the part I don't like from mine.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, wow, it's better than that McClack and anybody just him lumbering off the wrong direction on a spiff.
[SPEAKER_00]: Looks like he'd been confunded.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, which is a big more than anything a good set up for Harry to approach her might about later.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, if all I didn't know better, I'd say he was confunding.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that later at the chapter, he's still just like running into walls.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like how hard did you hit him remind me?
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like bouncing off of doors.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, gosh.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: But anyway, the approach, uh, Hagrid's hot, um, the gray hippogrough buck beak slash with their wings.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to see even the narrator can't get it right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you're right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, oh, damn.
[SPEAKER_00]: He still has a bit scary, isn't he?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, how can you say that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, no, it's like, we're past that.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're past that.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, you guys have earned such street credit at this point.
[SPEAKER_00]: You need to not be afraid of a hip-roof.
[SPEAKER_02]: You live in the same house as him for like a summer.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, you saved him.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Harry does have a special little moment with him.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, how are you missing him?
[SPEAKER_00]: But you're okay with Hagrid.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want you.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's just a little, a little check-in, because Harry is responsible for where Buckbick is ended up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: But Harry Bowles to him, Hippograph, Bowles Back, says after a few seconds, Buck Beaks, I can do it about too.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the narrator has gotten the name wrong twice in one paragraph.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is kind of interesting, because we also, like, you're really starting to see like where Harry is just like becoming extremely competent in the wizarding world.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is now just able to go, like, you know, perform spells on his, on his potion on his version.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he's just very simply like interacting, using a lesson from Hagrid to successfully,
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... walk the courting process with the hippograph or whatever right phrasing is there right was just like such a turn around from like if you want to do like our a little ring theory thing as well like where the way the books like me or each other across time like this would uh... half blood repair up a chamber of secrets and in chamber of secrets
[SPEAKER_02]: the Griffin Doris first quitted tryout goes very poor not even tryout just at first practice I guess over time you see the team that's when the slow they weren't show up with the nimbus 2,000 ones they're heckling everybody it doesn't go well wrong backfires or whatever shoots himself with the slugs right this time it goes much better still a bunch of people show up to the first practice and someone does get hit with the spell because remind you it's McCormick
[SPEAKER_02]: or McCormack.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, McCormack seasoning.
[SPEAKER_02]: And McCormack seasoning, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I think Cormack McClack is probably actually the same source as steak seasoning.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, it's a lot of steak.
[SPEAKER_00]: It certainly does.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, in that situation as well, they go to Hagrids after work.
[SPEAKER_02]: They do go to Hagrids after work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because he's burping out the slugs in the bucket.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: The way I just had the slugs in a bucket reminded me of the songs in the bucket.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, slugs in the bucket and the clothes hang out on the line.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and there's a thing that's going to love that when he gets there now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, anyway.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so get away from him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Have your fingers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's you locked.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, oh, the member has also wait not for nothing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hagrid came stronger throughout the corner of his cabin, wearing a large flower apron and carrying sack of potatoes for the griffin doors.
[SPEAKER_02]: No doubt.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no doubt.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here he's like, you're going to eat all of those.
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys, whoa.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got some potatoes.
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to you want to set aside like three or four for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we throw some in the fire right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean we could do it I made potato with I was really foil right here in case Always care with me you'd never know Never know if there might be a good bake
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's so good.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's so good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, but so then Hagrid goes and slams the door behind him in the trios face.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, well, this one, well, mature mature.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hagrid, open up.
[SPEAKER_00]: We want to talk to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no sound.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't open the door, well, blast it open.
[SPEAKER_00]: Harry said her money sounded shocked, you can't possibly, yes I can, said Harry, stand back.
[SPEAKER_00]: But before we could say anything, the door flew open again, as Harry had known it would.
[SPEAKER_02]: Harry's taking no cheek for anybody in this chapter.
[SPEAKER_02]: None whatsoever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, his like reverse psychology is getting...
[SPEAKER_00]: real good because he's going to do the same thing with the polligate not the polligers the Felix Felicis and Ron later where he's going to manipulate him into writing he took some You're right, so it's like Harry sort of like I know how people work.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've I've been around the block Better on the block.
[SPEAKER_02]: I bet in some other people's brains visited some memories and I have this stuff works now exactly I'm brilliant.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am the chosen one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, I'm a teacher.
[SPEAKER_00]: He boarded Harry a teacher posture.
[SPEAKER_00]: How dare you threaten to break down my door
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, oh, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sir, who, who, Hagrid looked stunned.
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, there's no need to call me Sir Potter.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love that.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is such a difference between Snape and Hagrid in the situation where Snape is giving him attention for not calling him sir.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Hagrid is like deeply wounded, then Harry would call him sir.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Since when do you call me sir?
[SPEAKER_00]: Since when have you called me Potter?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, very clever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Very muesin.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's me outspardonnit.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, come on and then you're on a great little,
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's how that would go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, thanks for coming to my door now, it's smarting me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess that means you win the rental and are now allowed to enter the house.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, where's the company paying?
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a good fettie.
[SPEAKER_02]: He never does.
[SPEAKER_02]: Never does.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's so bad with a good pettie cannon.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, Ron sit down.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to drill on you now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mumbling directly.
[SPEAKER_02]: He stood back to let them pass.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or might he stir it in after Harry looking rather frightened.
[SPEAKER_02]: At what?
[SPEAKER_02]: Hagrid?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's, I guess, not happy to see them.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's this?
[SPEAKER_02]: Real and sorry for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to have no leader summit.
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
[SPEAKER_02]: Are they your only friends?
[SPEAKER_02]: This is your only friends, Hagrid?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, he has another friend, Jay.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a giant spider who's dying.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, and Dean He's one six-year student and Dean.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's so good.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to call back.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, Hagrid and Dean, what a dynamic duo.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: We wanted to see you.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've missed you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Missed me out of you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't take my class.
[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't want extra homework or to learn about dangerous things again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[SPEAKER_02]: No, why do you think I came down here?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just for the taters.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, none of us could bit them into our schedules.
[SPEAKER_00]: Lying.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right, just an aggregate again.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's a large, squelching noise, which is like an odd thing to interrupt a conversation, especially when the source of that noise is footlong maggots.
[SPEAKER_00]: Slimey, white, driving.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish I honestly could have done without it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, when I was reading this chapter, I was like, great.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I have to think about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Harry's going to like, what?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they had grid.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just giant grubs and had grid.
[SPEAKER_00]: Duh.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Ron asked the million dollar question.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they grow into...
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, doesn't matter.
[SPEAKER_02]: I grow into, got him to feed to Erick.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, girl.
[SPEAKER_00]: But what would they grow into?
[SPEAKER_02]: And then what would they grow into?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to think of, like, what's, what's like a large, non-bird flying magical creature that we know without?
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess maggots don't, I mean, do they know?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, what the grubs turn into, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, usually flying things, I thought.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, like, moths or something?
[SPEAKER_02]: Moths, giant moths.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're kind of like, like, worse caterpillars.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're scatipillars.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they're probably worse.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Grubs.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, it doesn't really matter, but, uh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got him to feed Aragoc, and without warning, he burst into tears.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, so perhaps this is the real issue at hand.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that his giant spider friend?
[SPEAKER_02]: His only other friend, besides Dean, is died.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right, that's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's him, gold-tagrid.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Arrogog.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's died.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what I'll do if he...
[UNKNOWN]: If he...
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been together so long.
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is another thing with the rigging thing because it's like air Gaga peers in books two and six.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You absolutely right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and so they have been together for 54 years.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like 55, 54 maybe it's just for, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I mean, because you'd be 13 when he's expelled.
[SPEAKER_02]: 13 when he's expelled.
[SPEAKER_00]: So so Hacker might be 67.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whoops.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it's been four.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's just third year and now it's six year.
[SPEAKER_00]: in 1942, air, gogg, sail the ocean blue.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, as the old phrase goes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, 1942.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I was doing it from 30 or not second year.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's so dumb.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I've done the math wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, OK, no problem, no problem.
[SPEAKER_00]: But either way, yeah, 54 years, which is OK, just makes it even just like a tiny little bit even stranger than that one of that Hagrid's three best friends are 16 year olds.
[SPEAKER_00]: let's see here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so then, you know, obviously, Erdogan is a bit of a sore spot for the trio as far as like as much as they love Hagrid and they try to support his kind of like unusual obsession with, you know, vicious baby dragons and what not.
[SPEAKER_00]: Erdogan did try to kill them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Harry and Ron only narrowly escaped.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right and so her mind is like I can only imagine how difficult for her mind Need this is to like empathize or maybe it's easier for her mind because she's just like oh, yeah One of your friends is dying.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like no, a mindy.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, her mindy.
[SPEAKER_02]: One of his friends was almost the dying of us.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay That's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, is that is there anything we can do?
[SPEAKER_00]: Hermione asked ignoring bronze Frantic grimaces and head shaking.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not helping.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I know I'm I will not be involved I think that's the most dead.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can I help kill it?
[SPEAKER_01]: I would do anything full of, but I won't help you, John said giant spider.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not knowing.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm not doing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, thank God.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think there is a shiny, see the rest of the tribe, the hierarchics family.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're getting a bit funny now, he's a bit restive to which I'm saying, the rest of the spider is all recognized that chaos is a ladder, you know, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: There's room on the spider's throne.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_00]: So now now it's kind of like, hey, Eric Goggles about to be out.
[SPEAKER_02]: So like we chose to find one of us feels like one of us is acclaimed to the throne.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then like I think there's like a thousand of us that have acclaimed with the throne, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: King's blood runs in these veins.
[SPEAKER_02]: King's blood runs in these veins.
[SPEAKER_02]: We are the spiders from the north.
[SPEAKER_00]: Except for that one that went to the wall.
[SPEAKER_02]: Except for the one that went to the wall, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't want to mess with like the lettuce webs, either that are kind of, you know, controlling the throne from afar either.
[SPEAKER_02]: No good point good point, good point.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's awesome.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but thanks for offering her my knee, it means a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is almost like it's a good thing that Hermione wasn't there willing to offer because it means that basically it's a good way to get Hagrid to kind of simmer his jeans.
[SPEAKER_02]: Had she been there, I'm certainly she couldn't even offer this.
[SPEAKER_02]: It'd be like, er, it gugs died and they'd be like, oh.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anything else that is all I have to say about that whether we're having this while Ron was great at Quidditch right talk about that Oh, man, so then he does kind of back off a little bit on them.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, I always knew you'd find it hard.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just squeeze me into your timetables even if you applied for timeturners
[SPEAKER_02]: This is just a good way to remind the audience that time perners are not a viable solution to any problem, so please stop writing me letters.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Her mind is just basically like, yeah, we smashed the entire stock of the ministry last year, you know, so they're gone.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was in the daily profit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, got it.
[SPEAKER_00]: All of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: All of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Excited.
[SPEAKER_02]: Literally all of them except for two.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: One that sort of works and one that super works.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it's made of gold.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is made of gold.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Solling by knot and mouth.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's see here, yeah, then Hagrid's, yeah, he's really, you know, I mean, it really is funny because I experience this so often with my own daughter out of set right now, who's for, and it like, you know, when she's got like all the emotions boiled up inside of her, she can, you know, obviously get a little can't take risk and then like a lot of times, like it'll come out and you're sort of like, oh, good, good, good, you're feeling everything you need to feel, this is excellent, and then she's like right back to reasonable.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and that's pretty much what's happened here is that Hagrid sort of has like been able to let his friends know what has been bothering him.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, oh, I'm sorry You know, I just been worried about Eric Oggen.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did wonder whether if Professor Goggley Blank had been teaching you at which all three of them stated categorically and untruthfully that Professor Goggley Blank who had substituted for Hagrid a few times was a dreadful teacher
[SPEAKER_02]: like at some point was doubled or just better off hiring grudley playing to be the professor.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it does feel that way.
[SPEAKER_02]: It does feel that way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But so then with that though, they do find their way out of Hagrid's hut and heading back to the castle for dinner.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the reminder that Harry does have detention with snake tonight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, fun, which you know what's weird is that like when he has the tension at night, especially on Saturday I like feel I have like the despair of the like photo of like oh my gosh I'm not because I spent my Saturday night Doing detention yeah, it was late like I'm like.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, this is so it's such a terrible punishment The second Saturday night in a row.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's had plans.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's true Like everyone else is living up in the common room, you know
[SPEAKER_02]: right on Harry they're all sitting there doing it like they're all just sitting across in the common room jinnies like hey Ron Ron for mine I look at look at look at Dean can't poop you said so when you look at a potatoes so we're to make potatoes so we're to make potatoes that's the thing I just put on the potato you know who oh my gosh it's hilarious look at them he can't we're supposed to be hanging out right now but again because he has
[SPEAKER_02]: No, do you have that over to you?
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't think so.
[SPEAKER_00]: I ain't think so.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, I am the master property of this book anyway That's my boyfriend and we're just having a great no time You know, we're facing area.
[SPEAKER_00]: He helps me through a portrait hole.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will not permit.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will not have it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know I'm allowed to do this to him.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not allowed to do that to me
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly, he can't be helpful.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, so then, yeah, they, as a kid, but they castfully spotted Kormack McClack and entering the Great Hall, it took him two attempts to get through the doors.
[SPEAKER_00]: He ricocheted off the frame on the first attempt.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh, did you see that, like, humanoid robot, Olympics thing where the robot ran into the wall?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kept running out.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's robot, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kormack McClack and be like, he is the robot.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is the robot, yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: But at this moment, Harry caught Hermione's arm
[SPEAKER_00]: But, said Hermione defensively, if he asked me, he said Harry quietly, McClacken looks like he was confronted this morning, and right now, he doesn't actually say that, but I included it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was standing right in front of, and he was standing right in front of where you were sitting.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, is looking, I feel like I'm misunderstanding how the spell works.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I've just never really thought I always assumed that she does it while he's flying.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, me too.
[SPEAKER_00]: She must have like, like, confunding someone almost seems like diet imperious, of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, I mean, I don't know about imperious.
[SPEAKER_02]: It just seems like they would be getting like their left.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know, like they're, they have in trouble with directions or something or like extra bouncy on surfaces.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess I don't really know because like it seems like if he got the first four, why is the fifth one that he misses?
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, yeah, it's like you don't want he overcame it quite a bit.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like maybe I should have made sure of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean he's still sort of a jerk, but it's like it reminds me of like when you have inverted controls on a video game and you're so like wait no hold on, I can sort of get it right, but I keep forgetting the wrong way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's what it reminds me of.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, maybe that's what it's maybe that's the experience.
[SPEAKER_00]: Invert controls spell.
[SPEAKER_02]: Before that it says Hermione Blushed now maybe it's because she got caught in the actor Maybe it's just because Harry like pulled her aside and it's something private conversation with her Oh Oh Hary you noticed my All right, I did it that all right fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't keep secrets from you, Harry Thanks for noticing where I was sitting I was sitting did you oh my gosh, and you recognized it my spell work wow
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like whenever we do this, we make people mad.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, maybe not.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's gotta be some people out there who are like, thank you for noticing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It can't be just us.
[SPEAKER_00]: It can't be.
[SPEAKER_00]: Can it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Jalan is cute.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, so she's just sort of like, this is where Jenny, Urban Jenny.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where Hermione is sort of like making decisions on behalf of Harry though.
[SPEAKER_00]: She's like, you wouldn't have wanted him on the team anyway.
[SPEAKER_00]: You shouldn't have heard the waves talk about Ron and Jenny.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's gonna nasty temper.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's sort of like, I mean, probably all fair,
[SPEAKER_02]: That's exactly it's like, that is also reasonable hair is not bound to the five saves rule, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, you're the captain, like you can just choose based on reasons that are quitage performance.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can just use favoritism if you want.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know what you were literally allowed to, like maybe you shouldn't, but like you can.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't basically feel better about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's fictional.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: All these characters are.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I mean, they live in our hearts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But like, you know, watch that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it doesn't exist.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But how could he've said that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a goodception.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then Harry does sort of like call one out on her mind as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, no, I suppose that's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: But wasn't that dishonest?
[SPEAKER_00]: How many?
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you're a prefix.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, and she looks almost kind of like like taking advice from a book when they have alternate instructions.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Boom.
[SPEAKER_02]: Doesn't seem like Kormack followed the official rules if you ask me, Hermione.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it's just very funny, like the way that this is shaken out a little bit.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the links that Hermione went to.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's also funny just to see how much she's grown, you know, back in the day she needed to sort out her priorities.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think this is like Harry accurately flirting back, because like, it wasn't that dishonest Hermione.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you're a prefix, aren't you?
[SPEAKER_02]: And it says, oh, be quiet.
[SPEAKER_02]: She snapped and as he smirked, like that's so, I mean, it must look like flirting because Ron is like, what are you doing, stalking?
[SPEAKER_02]: Demanded Ron rare appearing in the doorway to the great hall looking suspicious like Ron super things.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what's happening.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I mean this suspicion definitely isn't I mean as much as being going on about Kormack this suspicion is not the belief that Hermione intervened
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, you know, it's definitely like, why are you talking probably about me?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, well, you guys having a snicker over there without me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's three of us hanging out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Three of us hanging out feels like it feels like I'm being left out.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: What if, you know, what if the three of us were like camping or something, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: What just, how would that go?
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think?
[SPEAKER_00]: We just throw a wrench into it for fun.
[SPEAKER_00]: For one of us at all time says to wear this like necklace that makes us really powdery.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Imagine it affects us.
[SPEAKER_02]: One of us works in the others.
[SPEAKER_02]: How do you treat that one?
[SPEAKER_02]: Go.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just want to just hypothetically.
[SPEAKER_00]: Out of the three of us who do you think takes the least well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't be ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm leaving.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's happening again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: So then, uh, Slughorne pops up at this particular moment, which is really stuck in a helperon's mood at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: There, um, and it is the second time that somebody tries to intervene on, uh, Harry's detention with Snape, because what Slughorne wants is to invite him for a spot of dinner in his room.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love it if this worked out, and there it didn't have to get into detention.
[SPEAKER_00]: What did he do?
[SPEAKER_02]: It was so funny.
[SPEAKER_00]: It just like the course the entire year, Harry never actually serves as one to ten.
[SPEAKER_02]: Every weekend, it's just like, sorry, sir.
[SPEAKER_02]: And like, Harry just openly accepts us.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like, I will be there.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can count on it, sir.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I love to attend.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_00]: But sure enough, I mean, it does not exactly sound like the most exciting dinner party, I guess, if you're hairy, especially given this particular day because McLaggan is coming along with Zabini.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've got the person that Harry just didn't allow to join the Quidditch team and got all up in his face about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Zabini, who actively dislikes him because one of Draco's cronies,
[SPEAKER_02]: And who absolutely knows that he was spying on him in the compartment after Draco told the story to everybody.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right, yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then now the charming Melinda Bobbin.
[SPEAKER_00]: Melinda Bobbin, my family owns a large chain of apothecaries.
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, I very much hope that Ms. Granger will favor me by coming to you.
[SPEAKER_02]: See now, honestly, I feel like Harry does have an opportunity here to be like, oh, McClack, and I just saw him at a trial this morning.
[SPEAKER_02]: My friend Ron here actually beat him for keeper.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that's what he should have said.
[SPEAKER_00]: He should have said that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, and then he'd be like, Oh, did you know my boy?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, well, all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: My pure blood friend Ron Weesley.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't come with better said Harriet once.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got to tension Professor Snape to which it's like once I'm like, dear, I was counting on you, Harry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't know how I just had to have a word with several.
[SPEAKER_00]: I said explain the situation.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure I'll be able to persuade him to postpone your detention.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I wish this had come true.
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like it would.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially because Lughorn would have been like snakes teach.
[SPEAKER_00]: Out like out there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like it feels like the kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's sort of like, listen, snake, I know you're headed so they're in house now, but I'm still your boss.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you know that, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: I was at a southern house for like,
[SPEAKER_02]: a long time, yes, long in the new been alive for real, all right, if we're being real, probably 50 years or so, you know, you can come to dinner too.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can join the Slug Club Severus, isn't that what you always wanted?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, really, really, I could do that Horus.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what let me know me to let me check the listing.
[SPEAKER_02]: We might have enough chairs.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know Next time for sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your name is on the bottom of the list first ultimate for the salt Severus what do you say?
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you say do we have ourselves a needle we have enough on the court?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but so Really
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man, Ron though is very agitated.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's peaved.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he is about big left out.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, I don't should be alone.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jidio probably invited probably.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's it's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is partially because her mining wishes that Harry would go with him or go with her rather.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that she doesn't want to be alone with McClack and which would be a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's like Sabini will be there and Melinda Bobbin.
[SPEAKER_02]: What he really should have said is like, you know what professor?
[SPEAKER_02]: I, that's a fantastic idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would check with Professor Dumbledore, if I were you though.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what would Dumbledore do?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, okay, this is interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, he would like to listen to pick on Snape.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: That means I would love it if it was just a rotting gag of this whole book that Harry never had to serve this one to tension right right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah But so anyway, they make it back to the Griffin North common room where they are looking at the evening profit Here's like anything new and it reminds like not really.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, except Rollins dad is in here
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like what do you mean not really it's like that's pretty big deal, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it just says that he's been to visit the Malfoy's house.
[SPEAKER_00]: The second search of the death they just residents did not seem to have yielded any new results.
[SPEAKER_00]: All the ways they had the office for the action and confiscation of counterfeit defensive spells and protective objects said that his team had been acting upon a confidential trip off.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's such a long name.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know for the OFTDA, C-O-C-D-S-A-P-O.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: Rolls off the top.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: But this confidential tip is, of course, here he is.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, I told him about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: King's Cross.
[SPEAKER_00]: I told him about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: King's Cross, about Malfoy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that thing he was trying to get Morgan to fix.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you know what, um, like if you, you know, if you treat the cursed child as canon, then it retconned itself in a bit of a problem here where in the mouth was we're able to, um, not successfully hide a lot of their dark objects, but we're able to successfully hide there, the time turner.
[SPEAKER_02]: They stole.
[SPEAKER_00]: True.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a good point.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, because it's, it is supposedly there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is supposedly there.
[SPEAKER_02]: any of the kind of thing we're like the ministry be like hey we we like this isn't dark magic but we do need it because they're an unlapped right also it doesn't seem like they would have like an exact known number that they had also true yeah so we had seven and there are we there's there's five broken ones and there's no sign of the other two but I guess they're probably just you know no need to account for those
[SPEAKER_00]: They're probably broken.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're probably fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: They probably broke.
[SPEAKER_00]: What could anybody do with time travel?
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, like how is it going to change anything?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, also, if Lucius Malfoy had a time trader that he stole from like this, it does feel like the kind of thing would be like, wow, I really messed up the whole prophecy situation.
[SPEAKER_02]: If only I had a way to go back and like fix that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, yeah, which according to the cursed child you could do, but according to us you couldn't what you couldn't yeah according to us even if you tried you already did so it didn't make a difference then and it didn't make a difference then it is my favorite brand of time travel just to be just to be fair because like there there is like the ability to go back and have like the butterfly effect situation where it's like hey we blew up said drinking now he's a death eater because you got bullied so bad for being a balloon or whatever right and it's like
[SPEAKER_01]: not really how it works.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we've had to work on the first place.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which I guess maybe if you want to argue argue it, it's just that like that all that stuff is eventually undone and all of that stuff happened in the first place as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess you could say no, you couldn't say that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So like, they're just sort of like starting three levels deep and like slowly working their way back to the surface or something.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, I get it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cause they're in a lake.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ha ha.
[SPEAKER_02]: They just keep messing with sidetracked.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's my favorite part of the cursed child.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's see here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then yeah, so Harry just immediately is kind of back on this like whatever that dark magic object is that Draco wanted from Morgan and Berks must have been at the house if it's out the house and must be here at school.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it really is like interesting how again, if you're writing a story, it's a good way to create blockades that have clear gaps in between like the posts.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: But like if you're not thinking about it, like
[SPEAKER_00]: very carefully.
[SPEAKER_00]: You just don't realize the other obvious answers here, which is that the like object didn't need to be brought into Hogwarts, it was just already there and that the one at organs is just still there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, but like it's basically defining where they are in orange.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the attack on Katie that's going to come up here soon is going to be like another one of those things for it's like, okay, well, maybe now we've got it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: But still now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but then this also seems weird to us, but how can he have done send her mining?
[SPEAKER_02]: We were all searched, we arrived, weren't we?
[SPEAKER_02]: And here is like, were you taking it back?
[SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't, to which I'm like, why weren't you?
[SPEAKER_00]: It is surprising.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because it feels like, especially if you're gonna be singled out, especially it's Snape coming to get you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe Snape is just like their literally is no point.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the chosen one.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is such a good kid, and there's no way something he's not supposed to have.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it does feel like he would still be very much like him because if Philch came out, he absolutely would have, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Then it says, well, Philch ran over all of the secret sensors when we got into the entrance hall.
[SPEAKER_02]: Any dark object would have been found to which I'm like, well, they didn't find the hand of glory, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: True, good point.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which I guess, I mean, I guess it counts as a dark object.
[SPEAKER_02]: They sell it to Morgan and Berks, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good point.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but so this this I also found kind of interesting because it's sort of like, well, he must have, he must have brought it in the castle.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, nope, it was just already there, but then I was thinking about this, too.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if we've ever tackled this before, but why is the vanishing cabinet in these two spots in particular, because one of them is a store for the dark arts.
[SPEAKER_00]: The other is inside of Hogwarts Castle.
[SPEAKER_00]: And those I find to be unusual selections, unless there is a possibility that the one that was used for the dark arts was specifically being used by Slytherin.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, I wonder if this is how he got to in from the Chamber of Secrets?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's interesting.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or out of the Chamber of Secrets.
[SPEAKER_02]: like in his time, like he would get in there via one cabinet and like they were just both at the school.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were both at the school.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like because even at that point in time, he could have known the importance of keeping the school safe.
[SPEAKER_00]: If anything, that's what his whole thing is.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to buy into the like only respectable version of what sliver ins actual motives
[SPEAKER_02]: the non-magical populace, like that is really the main thing that you could argue in his favors just like he's just looking out for his people, right, which I mean he's got a very I mean like it's hard that we don't know exactly the way the book presents it as if it's like a very Thanos way of going about it, where it's just sort of like yeah we'll get rid of all the we'll just kill all the half the people, it's exactly kill all the people who might threaten us it's like, well, well,
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, under that, under that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I logged in the newsletter, my movie, where someone asks Bruce, like, why didn't you just double the resources and even Peter's like, It's like, no, no, no way way more sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's like to act all the Thanos had a point supporters.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sort of like it's like, you know what, you know what, fair.
[SPEAKER_00]: there.
[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, although I still I still stand by my my quantum resource theory, which is that like if you go into the quantum realm and you take a whole bunch of resources that are like microscopic and then largeify them, you can like take microscopic resources and eat them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that would have been a good solution too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what would have been interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: But no.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh well, not the not the time to talk about what went wrong and how time travel became a factor in in game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, time to
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, oh, yeah, we are talking about time printer.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's my way.
[SPEAKER_00]: We are.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, all the hours of being checked to sit Hermione, Philch told us what he was chatting those secret sensors everywhere he could reach great.
[SPEAKER_02]: So really stumped the time Harry found nothing else to say Which is like I think suppose as sentenced that for you the reader is supposed to read like don't think about it anymore even Harry can't think of anything
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, it really is like a magic trick.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's light of hand.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's like this whole books about magic.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know wow.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah But no, it's it's exactly like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great way like you know if the narration tells you like Hey, don't worry about the anymore than it's like it's easy to just like your mind for your mind to follow that command and be like all right
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fair enough.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: There did not seem to be any way mouth I could have brought a dangerous or dark object into the school, which obviously he manages to do anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: He looked hopefully at Ron, who was sitting with his arms folded, staring over it laughing to brown.
[SPEAKER_02]: like why right now isn't like like Hermione being nice to you at the moment, you know, right, right, yeah, we're up there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, or is he just like kind of subliminally learning that like attention from lavender gives attention to Hermione.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's trying to like bait that into existence or something.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's probably given him on too much credit on something.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's definitely, I think he's just sort of like I've never even thought about lavender like that, but like interesting.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right, all of a sudden, yeah, somebody who likes me, it's like, well, now I can think about them in a whole new perspective.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's amazing how when someone likes you, how much like it's like, oh, like how much you'll consider it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, it's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: It does change, does change a lot very quickly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, then DeMelse, the new chaser, shows up to Harry, and she's like, I've got a message for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And here's like, oh, from Professor Slughorn, and she's like, no, from Professor Snape.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, he says your to cut and it's that handwritten is she's just playing the telephone game here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: He says your to come to his office at half past eight tonight to do your attention.
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, no matter how many party invitations you've received and he wanted you to know that you'll be sorting out rotten flubber worms from good ones.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jews and potions and he says there's no need to bring protective gloves.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks a lot to metal sir.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you would only imagine a mellard right now being like I have to go tell my new captain What I know like I'm imagining this exchange between Snape and Demels because this is like a lot of words for Snape is saying a row frankly He's like Demels Tell I have a message for you to deliver to Harry Potter
[SPEAKER_02]: Please tell him that, despite whatever invitations the dinner parties he's had with Slughorn, that he has to come to detention anyway, and that he'll be sorting flabberworms, going from bad for potions, and that he doesn't need to bring protective gloves.
[SPEAKER_02]: Got that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Got it?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not repeating myself.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's it.
[SPEAKER_02]: What you get one go get it right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Get it right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, don't forget did you hear that thing about Protective Globes because the insiduation here is that Harry would have thought he needed protective Globes for floppable I know, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Isn't that embarrassing to mouse a tell everyone I would love it if D'Belle's a was just like yeah, I'll say I knew that I'm not doing that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's like Harry shows up in slug words and he's like thanks.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, or just even the next morning, Snape is that breakfast and shows up in a mess and like taps around the shoulder and he's like, did you say the thing?
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how I told you.
[SPEAKER_02]: The thing about the gloves, she's like, right, you something.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hair, you told me, Hairy could go to a dinner party.
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, I was going to the dinner party.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
[SPEAKER_02]: What a fun chapter.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: What a fun chapter.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, that brings us the end of chapter 11 and looking forward to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Chapter 12.
[SPEAKER_00]: Silver and Oples, but Jay before we close out today's episode, do you have a review for us?
[SPEAKER_02]: I sure do.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's from Indigo White Tale.
[SPEAKER_02]: Who says what if Ginny went camping in Deathly Hallows?
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, hey, hello!
[SPEAKER_02]: This podcast is amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love anything to do with Harry Potter and you always have me laughing out loud.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love all the deep hidden connections between the pages and all the theories.
[SPEAKER_02]: It makes any sure around the house something fun to look forward to.
[SPEAKER_02]: My question.
[SPEAKER_02]: What if genuine camping with the trio in the Deathly Hallows?
[SPEAKER_02]: How would you have convinced Harry to let her go?
[SPEAKER_02]: And what role would she have played?
[SPEAKER_02]: And what wrong stuff have become jealous and left?
[SPEAKER_02]: So the question is skipping out of school as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: She is indeed.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it would help tremendously, honestly, because I think that it would really bolster Harry's morale entirely.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just think Ginny is so good for him.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I also think that Ginny is very good at cutting through a lot of the, like,
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, because I think like Ron, it's like when he, when Ron is at his worst is usually things that are called out a bull, but he's usually at his worst at Hermione, who is typically hurt by his comments fairly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but if Jenny was there basically just to be like, Ron shut up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, how money didn't do that and you know it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's the kind of thing to remind a bit that Ginny would solve rather quickly.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you wouldn't have the jealousy factor, which would help even more, um, uh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's ever surprising, dumb would or doesn't like, maybe maybe he would have like let Ginny in on or whatever, you know, like to to the or crux of it all.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because it's sort of like, oh, Harry, are you in love?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, what you're in love?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, this is amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, so that's like a whole thing, Harry, what's your name?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's Jimmy Weasley, I'm a aisle, it's also rooting for you guys rooting for you guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to mind me too, but this is also good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Go ahead and bring your into the circle, make it a square, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes, I mean, so do you feel like Jenny solves too many problems?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm almost, this is like that like storytelling lens that I feel like I'm wearing more than like the lower lens right now, but
[SPEAKER_00]: like is it like we've oftentimes talked about how it seems like Neville was meant to be part of the trio in the beginning like there there is the plant obstacle when you go to the philosopher stone or whatever and that that feels like it was meant to be there for Neville specifically and Neville
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't say almost goes with him, but he is there literally as they're leaving.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so a lot of times what we've wondered about allowed is whether or not it would just be like too difficult to manage yet another personality that needs its full scope of like interests and problems.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, it's kind of like the buck-beacon Hagrid situation, like buck-beacon, your three gives Hagrid a plot, you know, gives him something to do for the entire year.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're going to have people being the spotlight, they have to have something relevant.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, I wonder if the situation instead of wrong leaving, I wonder how the lock would affect Jenny, you know, like if she's having to wear it around that's a good question perhaps this different situation where it's like instead of all I get it you pick him or it's like a oh I get it you pick her oh like Jenny to Harry
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So what the lock it does to Ron is make Ron here all of his like worst thoughts like basically that Hermione of course would rather be with the chosen one that Harry's the son that, you know, his mother would have preferred, you know, these terrible thoughts that he injected into your brain space.
[SPEAKER_00]: So what would Ginny here like has Ginny ever
[SPEAKER_00]: Part of me is inclined to say no because I think Ginny is just much more self-assured.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, then we're not that right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but like Ginny is like a so Ron, you know, has like self-esteem issues.
[SPEAKER_02]: He does a lot of the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because he's he's the youngest.
[SPEAKER_00]: like he's the youngest boy which I guess gives Jenny just like some difference between like let's let's base his for comparison.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess is the idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Another Jenny is pretty self assured but her solution to a lot of things is like
[SPEAKER_02]: like confrontation a lot of times she's fiery she's fiery exactly so and not for nothing but even if you're not wearing a horse crux if you're just spending all 24 seven with like the same three other people like she's just gonna start getting on each other's nerves to some and especially for night eating yeah especially if you're not eating and then you have to lock them into the mix i can see where it's like maybe it's not a real thought you'd like
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, especially if they're like, you know, dancing around the tent together, you know, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, here's an additional wrinkle.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that Ginny has already had her mind occupied by a Hortcrox.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a, like, uh, like, is that door kicked open a little bit more?
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, as the door, the the seal's broken a little, maybe.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's interesting.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because then it could almost be like a situation where like the essence of Tom Riddle or whatever is capable of manipulating Jenny even worse.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, that's an interesting thought.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then something like that happening.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, then that it would be like a so discourse type of thing anyway, which I mean if Ron is already struggling on his own as it is, which we know he is, that causes him to leave.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then if you've got Ginny there who's almost like an agent of evil, all of a sudden, it probably just makes that worse because then probably what Ginny's going to be like is almost pulling Ron aside and being like,
[SPEAKER_00]: does seem like Harry and Hermione are really spending a lot of time together, isn't it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it might seem like common jealousy, but then it like informs Ron further of his deepest concern.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like if his sister, the person he trusts is in the same can't like, oh my gosh, like you've noticed it too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's validating.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, it's validating.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's like this.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's supposed to be with us and simply trying to get together, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh dear.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess Ron and Hermione are even like officially together or anything at that point either.
[SPEAKER_00]: And no, not officially, but I think, you know, it's all, it's all there, you know, like they'll know it.
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it's, uh, that's curious.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I went from Jenny solves everything to maybe Jenny ruins everything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man, let me, yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it can go either way.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's what we're saying.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, we just need some way in from you guys.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let us know which direction you think we go or if there's anything that we missed.
[SPEAKER_00]: But, uh, as ever, if you guys do have a question, you'd like to see us try to tackle, uh, you can always just leave us a review and we will, uh, snack it here at the end of one of our episodes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we can, but otherwise, I think that is going to do it for us here for this episode.
[SPEAKER_02]: Make sure you join us next week, though, for Chapter 12, silver and opals here on through the Griffindor.
[SPEAKER_00]: Today's episode was edited by Ethan Edgel, Vaishan Branden, does our art, Katherine Stein is our production manager, and the show is hosted by me, in Jonathan Carlin.
