Finally, someone who actually recognizes the fucked up implications of the half-house elf thing instead of making "ewww, someone fucked a house elf" jokes.

"magical date rape is fun when good guys do it, but when bad people do it it's bad" is a very JKR moment

oh my god it's so much worse than I thought. I'm SO GLAD that the last time I cared about Fantastic Beasts even a little was the first movie

Well, we saw it. We did our waiting and saw the damn movie on opening night, and it sure was an experience. How many beasts were there, and just how fantastic were they? What were Grindelwald's crimes? Why couldn't this movie just be two hours of Newt hanging out with that adorable Zuwou?

HEADS UP: throwing a content warning here for some fairly heavy discussions of sexual violence, including in relation to slavery, which is a weirdly huge part of this Harry Potter movie!

The Shrieking Shack

Shrieking at the Movies: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Goblet of Fire chapter 28. We've got news! You folks heard about the news? We've got Blu-Ray news and Pokemon news; after that, we have perhaps the most overstuffed chapter in the series so far to discuss. After that, we take a trip to Cameo to check out what Harry Potter stars we can find!

Episode 47: #WeWantMafalda

Order of the Phoenix chapters 5-6. We have an extra long news segment this week because uhhhh there's a new Harry Potter video game and it's the dumbest idea anyone has ever had! We thoroughly analyze this announcement before digging into our chapter discussion for the week, which features a giant lore dump and a lot of J.K Rowling's favorite family tree bullshit. We also meet Kreacher, and answer reddit's burning questions about him.

Episode 54: Borange Beer

Order of the Phoenix chapters 7-8. We touch on the recent explosion of J.K Rowling dunks hitting the mainstream before visiting the Ministry of Magic! Email, cop hierarchies, courtroom drama, Death Note, and more await us in those hallowed halls. Finally, we brush up on our WOMBAT test and try to figure out--again--what the hell Magical Mischief Month might be.

Episode 55: Ceweaw

Order of the Phoenix chapters 9-10. We uncover a shocking conspiracy before examining Sirius's dog brain. We're still not at Hogwarts but that's okay: we have more Ministry drama, sibling violence, secret missions, and character introductions to get to before we dig around for some Luna Lovegood confessions and questions.

Episode 56: Return of Dog Brain

Order of the Phoenix chapters 11-12. We're finally at Hogwarts, and the Sorting Hat has a very long song about how the school is completely devoid of responsibility for all of the world's ills! We also have Ron being a little cop, Harry being a rude jerk, Hermione representing at least three schools of political thought at once, and the appearance of a new professor we all HATE because she wears PINK. Ew!!!

Episode 57: A Real Ballbuster

Order of the Phoenix chapter 13. We cover some important news about Dobby's grave, and also his dick and balls before strapping in for a long discussion on chapter 13, which is extremely long and meandering. Good thing we swapped to doing one chapter per episode! Harry's a jerk, Ron's a cop, and Umbridge shows her true colors (and then some) in this honestly fairly harrowing chapter. Luckily, we have a lovely song and some Pottermore coverage of our favorite owl to cheer us up!

Content warning for some heavy themes in this one, it's The Abuse Chapter

Episode 58: Rat Race Club

Order of the Phoenix chapter 14. We have the unpleasant matter of Crimes of Grindelwald news to attend to this week before we dig into chapter 14, The One That's Pretty Good Except It's Very Weirdly Racist Suddenly. There's also quidditch, homework, and Cornelius Fudge's child army paranoia. Finally, we help plan a party and tackle a few confessions. Also... you're gonna want to stick around for the very end of the episode, trust me on this one.
