Turn on the Light

Episode 12: Quidditch

Welcome to the chapter where Hogwarts introduces its school sport by nearly killing several children. Hermione kicks off her role as the one who saves everyone all the time while Hagrid says too much again.
Join us as we unpack Quidditch in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: airborne bullying, a scoring system that makes no sense, and the moment Harry realizes he was born to fly, even if no one bothered with tryouts.

It's Halloween! There's giant Jack-O-lanterns floating in the great hall and troll in the girl's bathroom.  If you survive, you get to keep your life but you'll lose 5 points from McGonagall.

Episode 10: The Midnight Duel

We're meeting Malfoy in the Trophy Room at midnight for a duel.  Ron is Harry's second in case he dies. There's a giant three-headed dog waiting on the other side of the door, hiding that grubby little package from vault 713.  And we go into the rabbit hole on the history of caning at British boarding schools.
