Belated Binge: Harry Potter
Harry Potter podcast that doesn’t take itself or the books too Siriusly! That’s probably because I didn’t read them until I was a grown man. Now I’m taking you back to Hogwarts in hopes of answering some of the most important questions in the fandom like: What did Albus Dumbledore know and when did he know it? Why does Harry Potter only know 2 spells? Are there any competent adults in the Wizarding World? Featuring a healthy balance of exciting theories and character exploration while also calling the books on their BS when appropriate! Join me and the Potterhead friends I’m making along the way, whether you want to re-binge the series yourself, or let us do it for you!

Why Is Dobby Here??? Chamber of Secrets Ch 18
Thursday Feb 23, 2023
Thursday Feb 23, 2023
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 inexplicable aside from "plot reasons." After some witty banter back and forth amongst the 3 of them and some very NOT subtle hints from Dobby along the way, Harry manages to trick Lucius into throwing a sock to Dobby, setting him free. YAY FREE DOBBY!
There's a feast, cooked by a bunch of other house elves that are very much not free and Harry drops his digits to Ron so they can talk on the phone over the Summer. That should be entertaining later...

Harry Potter Needs ALL the Help! with Sarah Chamber of Secrets Ch 17
Thursday Jan 26, 2023
Thursday Jan 26, 2023
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The Heir of Slytherin.
Sarah from First Years: A Harry Potter Podcast for adult first time readers of the series is BACK! The first repeat guest on the podcast AND first back-to-back chapter guest!
It's time for the main climax, the final showdown, and of course the VILLAIN MONOLOGUE. And nobody can villain monologue like a teenage memory of Tom Riddle. He's not even Voldemort yet (really) and he's got the "I'm the greatest sorcerer in the world" thing down. Harry doesn't stand for that slander though because he knows the head wizard on the cobble street is actually Albus Dumbledore. And lucky for him, that loyalty is enough to bring Fawkes the Phoenix to his aid when it comes time to battle a giant snake with a murder stare, without a wand... Seriously Tom, give him his wand back!
There's far more blood and gore than you might expect in a book written for children, and way more 'Harry is a bit slow' than you remember from reading this as a kid. Luckily, Fawkes takes care of the Basalisks eyes for him AND brings him the Sorting Hat. While avoiding a concussion, Harry retrieves the sword of Godric Gryffindor and stabs the Basalisk through the mouth. He then uses his new fang souvenir to do more stabbing (so much stabbing in this chapter), this time through the diary, which kills memory Tom Riddle and, unknowingly to Harry, one of Voldemort's horcruxes.
This is a huge chapter with a ton of laughs along the way!

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 end.

Hermione is the Hero! with Sarah Chamber of Secrets Ch 16
Thursday Jan 12, 2023
Thursday Jan 12, 2023
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 the girl who was killed 50 years ago, He and Ron are about to tell Professor McGonogall everything. But, they instead hide in a closet and overhear that Ginny Weasley has been taken to the Chamber by the Heir of Slytherin.
Instead of informing the professors of what they've discovered as intended, they later go to find Lockhart who proves to be too incompetent to best a couple of 12 year olds at magic. Again, instead of doing the logical thing, they decide to go hunting for the Chamber of Secrets with a hostage.
After a trip down the grossest water slide in history, Lockhart tries to obliviate 2 children, but uses Ron's broken wand and explodes the tunnel instead. Separated from the others, Harry goes on to find the entrance to the Chamber and save the day...

What if Harry and Ron Didn’t Follow the Spiders? Where’s Dumbledore?
Thursday Jan 05, 2023
Thursday Jan 05, 2023
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.
This episode is all about theorizing and borderline fan fiction as I’m basically rewriting the Harry Potter books one small change Or question at a time!

Thanks for listening to Belated Binge the Harry Potter podcast that doesn’t take itself or the books too seriously. I’m Zac, and you may have heard that I was recently asked to be a guest on another podcast called Content and Capable (https://linktr.ee/contentncapable). It was a really fun opportunity and my first time going onto a podcast that wasn’t 100% about Harry Potter. Of course it wasn’t a Potter free conversation, but I got to share a lot about myself, my journey, my experience with this podcast that I haven’t really talked about on the show before. So while I’m taking a quick break from recording chapter focused episodes I thought it would be a really cool opportunity to share that conversation with you! Shoutout to Sam at Content and Capable for letting me post our conversation here and I hope you’ll go check out Content and Capable, the podcast all about adulting!
