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

Hermione is the Hero! with Sarah Chamber of Secrets Ch 16

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?

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!

My Guest Appearance on Content and Capable

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!

Clash of the Nerds, Harry Potter x Marvel! with Taylor from Let’s Talk Marvel Fan Theories

Have you ever thought about sorting the Avengers into Hogwarts houses? Would you rather have a magic wand or super powers? What Harry Potter character would you love to see in a Marvel movie? Welcome to belated binge, the Harry Potter podcast that doesn’t take itself or the books too seriously. Which happens when you don’t read them until you’re a grown man! I’m Zac, the grown man, and those are just a few of the many questions I discussed with Taylor (Let's Talk: Marvel Fan Theories) and shared as a bonus episode on Patreon. Now as a holiday treat, I’m adding it to the main feed while I take a break from recording chapter episodes for the holidays. I hope they’re treating you well and that you enjoy this bonus conversation!

What if Lily Forgave Snape after Snape’s Worst Memory? on The Dusty Caldron Podcast

What if Lily had forgiven Snape after the final exchange we saw between them in Snape’s worst memory? I recently joined Fyrebyrd on the Dusty Caldron Podcast (https://dustycaldronpodcast.com/) to discuss the answer to that exact question. We theorize on different ways their lives could have played out as a result and as a bonus for you, I wanted to bring that conversation over here as well!

We Didn’t Need the Spiders!!!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Chapter 15, Arogag discussion continues as I reveal my favorite foreshadow moments, give and take some house points, and call out what I thought was Riddikulus! Divination: “No, I’m sorry, there’s every chance the attacker might come back to finish these people off. . . .” Hagrid’s hint about the spiders was far easier to understand — the trouble was, there didn’t seem to be a single spider left in the castle to follow. “Sir,” said Malfoy loudly. “Sir, why don’t you apply for the headmaster’s job?” “Ron — that girl who died. Aragog said she was found in a bathroom,” said Harry, ignoring Neville’s snuffling snores from the corner. “What if she never left the bathroom? What if she’s still there?” House points: I’m giving house points to: The car!! 50 points for saving these children from being spider food! Fang 10 points for being a good watch dog! (Who’s a good boy??) I’m taking house points away from: Harry and Ron are both losing 15 for such a stupid idea to go following spiders into the forbidden forest while hogwarts is on lockdown. Arogag is losing 50 for being willing to eat Hagrid friends! That’s not a good friend move! Hagrid is losing 100 for trusting Arogag and nearly sending Harry and Ron to their deaths! Riddikulus: This WHOLE CHAPTER is ridiculous. Also, the car!

Dumbledore knew Hagrid had Arogag the Whole Time?

In this episode, I’ll attempt to shed light on the relationship between Albus Dumbledore and Hagrid and where Arogag falls into that. How would Dumbledore have treated Hagrid during his time at Hogwarts? Did Dumbledore know Arogag was in the Forbidden Forest? What about 50 years ago? I’ll also share a headcanon theory or perhaps borderline fan fiction about how Newt Scamander may or may not have been responsible for Hagrid having Arogag in the first place.

Ron Weasley’s Nightmare! with Fyrebyrd Chamber of Secrets Ch 15

I was joined by Fyrebyrd from The Dusty Caldron Podcast to discuss the events in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets chapter 15: Arogag. Link to The Dusty Caldron Podcast website: https://dustycaldronpodcast.com/ Things get a bit hairy for Harry and Ron Weasley in this chapter, with WAY TOO MANY LEGS! With no Hermione, no Dumbledore, and no Hagrid around, and Hogwarts still on lockdown our little duo makes decisions like: sneaking out at night underneath the invisibility cloak to follow spiders into the Forbidden Forest.  What could go wrong??? It's not like they'll be kidnapped by giant spiders, nearly eaten, and have to be saved by a sentient car. Right? We also discuss Draco Malfoy's comments that come with a side of foreshadow, Snape as potential headmaster, what Dumbledore would have wanted, make the connection between a Basalisk and Voldemort, and discuss how this chapter really is just a giant eight-legged jump scare with no true impact on the plot of the story. But hey, at least we learn Hagrid and his buddy Arogag were innocent 50 years ago!  If you enjoy the podcast and want early access, bonus content, shoutouts, and even more benefits BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/BelatedBinge Link to Feedspot's 50 Best Harry Potter Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/harry_potter_podcasts/ as of posting Belated Binge was rated #30!

What if Harry and Ron didn’t let Hermione run off on her own in Chamber of Secrets?

In this headcanon episode of Belated Binge, I wrap up the discussion from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Chapter 14, Cornelius Fudge by sharing my thoughts on the Expecto Plot-Chango question: What If Harry and Ron DIDN'T let Hermione go off to the library alone when Harry hears the monster? This is my attempt to save Hermione from a giant snake and it goes full on fan fiction! But I couldn't save Penelope Clearwater. Someone had to get petrified after all... But I hope you enjoy this fun new way to get the TRIO down to Hagrid's to still witness Wizarding World politics at their finest!
