Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 18 Dobby's Reward We've wrapped up Chamber of Secrets. In this final chapter, Molly and Arthur Weasley get a reunion with their very much not dead daughter Ginny, who's been saved by Harry Potter after nearly being soul sucked by a terrifying teenage Tom Riddle aka Voldemort. Harry explains the plot of the book for everyone with the help of Dumbledore who also eases Harry's concerns about almost being put in Slytherin house instead of Gryffindor, because he still cares about that. Lucius Malfoy shows up with Dobby, who's presence in completely i ..read more

Remember in the last chapter when Ginny tried to talk to Harry and Ron at breakfast? Then Percy came and ruined everything and she ran away? What if he didn’t do that? In this episode, I attempt to answer that very question. I also have quite a few answers to share from some of YOU. After I offer up an alternate, fan fiction style series of events if Ginny DOES tell Harry and Ron what's been happening and about Tom Riddle, I spend some time thanking some really important listeners for their contributions to this podcast and quite literally, keeping it going. I hope you stick around until the e ..read more

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The Chamber of Secrets. I was joined by Sarah from First Years: A Harry Potter Podcast for adult first time readers of the series and we had a blast with this one, making history. The first repeat guest on the podcast! It's the title chapter of the book, so it must be important! Harry manipulates he and Ron's way to the hospital wing where an unconscious Hermione hands over all the plot convenience needed for Harry to figure out the mystery of the book. Armed with the knowledge of the Basalisk, the pipes, his recent brain blast of Moaning Myrtle being t ..read more

What if Harry and Ron didn’t follow Hagrid's advice about the Spiders? And what was Dumbledore doing during his suspension? I answer both of these questions in this episode of belated binge Harry Potter and share your feedback as well!  Find out why NOTHING would have to change if they didn't follow the spiders. Enjoy my alternate chapter events if they instead focused on Dumbledore's parting line "help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it" - spider free! And journey with me into theory land as I speculate on what Dumbledore was doing while he was away from Hogwarts. T ..read more

This week on the Binge, we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' 4th chapter: At Flourish and Blotts.  In this chapter Harry is transported to the wrong side of town - however much it defies logic - witnesses some shady Malfoy behavior, is nearly kidnapped, meets a total tool who he finds out will be teaching him, and has front row seats to a dad fight. I also shine a light (Lumos) on the Graingers (Hermione's parents, remember them?) and soooooo many questions about muggle parents in the wizarding world.  I do some Divination foreshadowing, give/take house points, and cal ..read more

This week on the Binge, we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' second chapter: Dobby's Warning. This chapter is bonkers! We have the light-hearted topics of house-elf enslavement, child abuse, wizarding mail fraud and owl tampering that we balance with more serious topics like a fear of birds and falling desserts! I also shine a light (lumos) onto Dobby as a character, how we're introduced to him and some of the highlights of his growth throughout the series. We do some divination foreshadowing, give house points, and callout the parts of the chapter that are utterly riddikulus! I ..read more
