Belated Binge: ‘Sons of Anarchy’ ’Breaking Bad’ ‘Harry Potter’

Alan Rickman’s Snape with Amanda from The Fox and the Foxhound!

Since we're in between seasons, I'm taking a few weeks off from new episodes while gearing up for season 2 covering Chamber of Secrets. In the meantime, I've decided to share a few of my favorite bonus episodes nobody has gotten to hear yet. 
This bonus episode comes from our discussion with Amanda from The Fox and the Foxhound (https://www.thefoxandthefoxhound.com/). We discussed Alan Rickman playing Snape. Good casting? How did it impact the way people view book Snape?

MI7 Kids Molly Weasley Theory

Since we're in between seasons, I'm taking a few weeks off from new episodes while gearing up for season 2 covering Chamber of Secrets. In the meantime, I've decided to share a few of my favorite bonus episodes nobody has gotten to hear yet. This bonus episode is all about Molly Weasley and her current role in Dumbledore's master plan. Did you think she really didn't know what platform they were going to??? I'll share my theory on how she was essentially a sleeper agent for our buddy Albus and activated in chapter 6 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone - The Journey from Platform 9 3/4.

How Did He Know??? Albus Dumbledore Theory

As I mentioned in last week's episode, I'm taking a few weeks off from new episodes while gearing up for season 2 covering Chamber of Secrets. In the meantime, I've decided to share a few of my favorite bonus episodes nobody has gotten to hear yet. This bonus episode theorizes that Dumbledore was the first on scene at Godric's Hollow, how he knew to utilize the lasting effects of the blood protection charm, and ultimately why Harry had to go live with the Dursley's.

When Harry Met Movies Bonus Crossover (Sorcerer’s Stone Movie)

This week I was given the opportunity to join When Harry Met Movies, a father/son podcast reviewing movies they watch together for the son's first time. I had a blast talking with these two about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's, or for them, Philosopher's Stone movie. Of course we couldn't stay within 1 film and there are spoilers everywhere, but after listening to this podcast, I'm sure you don't need to be a seer to know that was coming.
Make sure you check them out on Twitter https://twitter.com/HarrymetMovies and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/whenharrymetmovies/ . You can even check out their website at https://whenharrymetmovies.com/.
Next week we'll have our first ever Bingie Awards episode!

Muggle Wrestling Sorcerer’s Stone Ch 17

WE DID IT! We finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone! This week, we discuss the final chapter The Man with Two Faces. The final magical showdown between the 'real' bad guy with everything you could want like: bad guy exposition, no magic wands, a dude with a serial killer living on the back of his head, and a child burning a man's face with his bare hands.... We reflect on Dumbledore's relationship with the Mirror of Erised and a theory about its creation. As always, we pick out some fun foreshadow moments from the chapter and we theorize on the outcome of the Quirrell vs. Harry scene if Voldemort isn't camping out on Quirrell's head. We wrap up with awards and announce the first ever Bingies! I welcome your feedback!

Obstacle Course Sorcerer’s Stone Ch 16

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, Through the Trapdoor (16)
We're nearly to the end of our re-read of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's (or Philosopher's) Stone. Chapter 16, Through the Trapdoor is a BIG ONE... Harry, Ron and Hermione are put through the magic made for children gauntlet, training to become the heroes of our story!
To do so, they must get through the obstacle course setup by our puppet master, Albus Dumbledore. Their challenge: surviving a 3-headed dog (Fluffy), Devil's Snare, enchanted flying keys, a killer chess set, an already knocked out troll, and a potentially poisonous potions riddle in an attempt to reach the stone before our secret antagonist (spoiler: it's Quirrell or Voldemort.. Quirrelldemort).
I dive into my theory of how this is all a test for Harry and what each of the protective obstacles are meant to evaluate in our heroes in training. I also pick my favorite foreshadow moments, share some responses to Game of Inches (Expecto Plot-Chango) questions from social media (@belatedbinge), and give away some meaningless awards from the chapter - it's not a great one for Prof McG... Please rate & review if you enjoy the show!

Jax Teller with Hooves with Sarah Sorcerer’s Stone Ch 14 & 15

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, Norbert The Norwegian Ridgeback (14) and The Forbidden Forest
Sarah from First Years: A Harry Potter Podcast for adult first time readers of the series joined me and we went DEEP into the Dumbledore master plan theory.
How much did he know? When did he know it? And how close is he really to Firenze (aka Jax Teller with Hooves)? 
We have a baby dragon adventure when Harry and Hermione have to get Norbert to the top of the tallest tower to meet up with Charlie Weasley's friends. Why these children are responsible for Hagrid's mess? YA Novels. Hogwarts also shows just how riddikulus the point system is when Professor McGonagall takes away 150 points from Gryffindor. This leads to an absolutely BONKERS detention where children are tracking a unicorn killer in the Forbidden Forest. Harry has a near-death experience when he interrupts Quirreldemort's feeding time. Thanks to Firenze, we also find out you-know-who aka Tom Riddle aka Voldemort aka the Dark Lord aka parasitic Voldy baby is after the stone! It's a big episode...
We also recorded a bonus episode for Free Elf and above level Patrons where we talked about the Hogwart's houses, house bias, and Sarah's love for Slytherin despite its representation in the series.

Snowballs of Fury Sorcerer’s Stone Ch 12 & 13

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, The Mirror of Erised (12) & Nicolas Flamel (13)
The Mirror of Erised chapter begins with one of the greatest things in the entire series: Fred and George Weasley are pelting Professor Quirrell in the back of the head, and thus parasite baby Voldemort in the face with snowballs!
Harry also has his greatest Christmas in a decade of life with the Dursleys. Not only did he get an awesome Weasley jumper from Molly, he also received an invisibility cloak with a note from a mystery sender. The cloak had belonged to Harry's father James, and the sender was giving it to Harry. What this really means is that Albus Dumbledore planted a Deathly Hallow in the possession of an 11 year old child. And what do children who receive such a gift immediately do? They take a middle of the night time trip to... the library? Did he give this to Hermione???
After a riddikulusly close call, almost being caught by Filtch and Snape, Harry hides in a room and comes face to face with his family for the first time in his life. After a few more trips, he has a nice chat with Dumbledore and learns how the Mirror of Erised actually works. Later, he gets the brain blast of where he saw Nicolas Flamel's name before after receiving another Dumbledore chocolate frog card - thanks Neville! Hermione finds his name in her casual bedtime stories book and the Golden Trio learns about the Sorcerer's or Philosopher's Stone!

More than Just a Meme Sorcerer’s Stone Ch. 10 & 11

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, Halloween and Quidditch
Harry and Ron become Sherlock Holmes and Watson and this chapter has the iconic movie scene turned viral internet meme "It's LeviOsa not LeviosA" or however you spell it. While Hermione looks very smart and talented, it doesn't make Ron feel very good to be shown up by his Charms partner. His reaction was... not great. He says some mean things about Hermione, leading her to spend the rest of the day in the girls bathroom, crying. 
At the Halloween feast, Quirrelldemort pulls his troll nonsense, which is a plot line I touch on thoroughly and sparked this week's bonus episode "Trolling Dumbledore" which is available to Free Elf Patrons and above (https://www.patreon.com/BelatedBinge). We then get a TON of action with Harry and Ron saving Hermione from the troll with a well placed wand up the nose and a successful pronunciation from Ron dropping a club on the troll's head. This naturally forms our Golden Trio (finally). Quidditch was highlighted by Harry nearly plummeting to his death from a broomstick, which becomes bit of a theme in these books... This time of course, it was Quirrell trying to kill him. Oh, and Hermione catches Snape ON FIRE!!!
I also put the character spotlight on Neville, discuss my favorite foreshadows and have some special announcements!
