Sadly, dear listeners, we appear to have misplaced the .mp3 for Episode 7, which was all about muggles. Alas. But as we all know, they are a lesser breed anyways. Probably not worth documenting in a podcast. Certainly not worth breeding with. #WIZARDPOWER! Anyways. What were we saying?

Hi listeners!

Love you all & have a magical summer!

In response to your discussion in episode 6 - Dumbledore acknowledging that Harry could understand that Parseltongue spoken by Morfin in the Gaunt memory doesn't mean that Dumbledore can speak Parseltongue. If you assume he can't, then Dumbledore would be hearing hissing noises. Dumbledore just points out that Harry would be able to understand it, which is when Harry realises that Morfin is speaking Parseltongue, not English. Anyway, I really enjoy the episode. Keep on wrocking and Rowling!
thewitchinghourkwcw thewitchinghourkwcw Said:

Ooooh! Thanks! I can’t quite remember, but I think we were also uncertain, because it seemed from the dialogue like Dumbledore already knew what Morfin was saying, but I suppose it’s not impossible that he’d just had it translated somehow before…

Asker macki34549 Asks:
Who's your favorite characters? Mine's Snape.
thewitchinghourkwcw thewitchinghourkwcw Said:

Hey! Thanks for the question! We love so many characters. We chatted about this during our Angsty Harry episode, which will hopefully be online soon. We talked about how we love Snape, too, as well as Hermione, Luna, the Weasley twins, and how Anu loves Harry—but nobody else does!

Thanks for asking!

hermione granger the smartest witch of her age

hermione granger who in book two figured out that the thing turning kids into stone and killing other kids off was a giant fucking snake living in the secret fucking basement AND NO ONE HAD DISCOVERED IT IN A THOUSAND YEARS

hermione granger who was so smart and so studious that she traveled back and forth in time to learn everything she could about a world she’d never known about, and itself was torn apart over whether to treat her as one of their own or as scum

hermione granger who at fourteen discovered and trapped an illegal adult shapeshifter with considerable media sway and blackmailed her remorselessly

hermione granger who at fifteen decided to forge her own brand of justice with cool-headed cunning and subtle leadership “here’s what we have to do to protect ourselves,” she murmurs, drafting plans and strategies, when the law is useless you write your own, as harry takes the lead

hermione granger who was thrown into a world where people like her were reviled and persecuted at the tender age of eleven but learned all its tricks and whims, its secrets and deepest thoughts, who cut it open with the keen knife of intelligence and discipline and learned how to pluck each nerve and make it sing for her

LET’S HEAR IT FOR OUR LADY HERMIONE

Out of context Harry Potter quotes are the best things ever.

  • “Tired of walking in on Harry, Hermione and Ron all over the school, Professor McGonagall had given them permission to use the empty Transfiguration classroom at lunchtimes.”
  • “Stars winking in front of his eyes, he grabbed the top of the hat to pull it off and felt something long and hard beneath it.
