Will the Harry Potter TV Show be successful?!
If they make it like THIS, it will be! In this short episode I share my thoughts on how to make sure the new series on Max works for everyone, whether they’re brand new viewers, potterheads or HP movie fans!
DISCLAIMER: I recorded this for YouTube (https://youtu.be/ZUZKN4GCGxEback) in June but never shared it on the feed. So, there are updates about the TV show that I didn’t have back when I made it. It still holds up, it’s just not meant to be a “latest news on the TV show” episode.
Dumbledore's Master Plan is a familiar topic in the Harry Potter fandom. But is it real? And did Dumbledore actually care about Harry?
I think my view on how the plan developed will surprise you! I'd love for you to join the discussion and let me know what you think:

I know it's been a long time since I've posted, life has made consistent content a challenge. But, this topic idea wouldn't let go of me, so I hit record!
There is plenty of discourse among the fandom about whether Harry should have ended up with Ginny or someone else. But who else should it have been if it wasn't Ginny?
I think my choice will surprise you!

Find Pottership Podcast: https://linkin.bio/pottershippodcastI was super excited to be joined by the trio from Pottership Podcast to discuss Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban chapter 10, The Marauders Map! We had a blast going through the chapter and touching on why Fred and George never noticed Peter Pettigrew sleeping with their brother Ron, how convenient it was that Harry stumbled across Ron and Hermione so quickly after sneaking to Hogsmeade, what an odd group hanging out Fudge, Hagrid, Flitwick, and McGonagall were and why they would be spilling all the tea of Sirius Black and James Potter's relationship to the bartender Madam Rosmerta!

Thanks for listening!
Hi I’m Zac - Welcome to Belated Binge Harry Potter - in part the story of how a sports fanatic became a potterhead! Because despite growing up through the hype and looking quite a bit like Harry himself - I didn’t read these books until my mid twenties!
Why did I finally read them?? Without going into too many details in the trailer of all places, I’ll just do what most married men get to. Blame my wife!
Regardless of who’s fault it is, when I was around 25 a potterhead came bursting out of me like a raging monster in my chest!
So I decided to start a podcast, rereading the books and talking about each chapter. A novel concept that only about 1,000 other people were already doing in the Harry Potter fandom at the same time.
Now I discuss it with a bunch of them! We go on each others podcasts and it’s great as I strive to answer some of the hardest hitting questions in the fandom like:
What did Dumbledore know and when did he know it?
Why does Harry only ever learn 2 spells?
Are there any competent adults in the wizarding world - anywhere???
You’ll hear a few sports metaphors giving way to spell puns, deep dives into character motivations, theories and a fairly regular spotlight on our beloved headmaster Albus Dumbledore.
There will be spoilers! There will be language! There will be laughter!
So grab your wand, your cloak, steal an owl from the zoo and join me on this Belated Binge of Harry Potter!
Maybe don’t actually steal the owl..

Preorder Christina's book! http://www.christinakann.com/my-book.html
This is the chapter where Harry doesn't get to go on the Hogsmeade visit because he doesn't have a signed permission slip from the Dursleys. Instead he wanders the castle for a bit and winds up having tea with Lupin! That's nice at least...

We're diving back into the binge of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with chapter 6, Talons and Tealeaves. For this discussion I'm joined by Dan from Hogwarts: A Podcast (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hogwarts-a-podcast).This is the chapter where Trelawney predicts Harry's death in Divination class because she sees a big black dog aka the Grim in a teacup. Then Hagrid makes Harry ride a Hippogriff named Buckbeak after he successfully pets him in Care of Magical Creatures. Unfortunately, Draco Malfoy isn't a fan of Harry getting attention or in paying attention to Hagrid's warnings. So, he insults Buckbeak and gets clawed up as a result of his actions.Throughout the discussion we'll rate Draco's ability as a school bully. Dan will defend Trelawney's abilities as a teacher and seer. We'll talk about Hagrid's qualification for teaching, Dumbledore's loose ship, how there must be good Slytherins we don't see and a lot of other fun stuff!Find Dan on Twitter or X: https://twitter.com/HogwartsAPod and Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hogwartsapod/For bonus episodes as well as many other benefits such as early access, show prep notes, personal shoutouts, and more BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/BelatedBinge*Free trial availableI'd also love for you to join the discussion, which you can do in 2 key ways:

We've had some amazing Harry Potter discussions on this podcast, but it's time to binge!As we dive back into the 3rd book, Prisoner of Azkaban, I thought it would be good to reset on where we left off.In the first 5 chapters of POA, Harry has successfully managed to leave the Dursleys, in quite dramatic fashion. He's had a mini vacation in Diagon Alley with a hotel room to himself and all the ice cream he can eat. He's been reunited with the Weasleys and Hermione as well.He's also been seeing a big black dog figure that he later learns is a death omen, found out that Sirius Black, who was convicted of mass murder, has escaped the wizard prison called Azkaban. And he's also come face to face with the 'Azkaban Guards' aka Dementors forcing him to relive his trauma and pass out on the Hogwarts Express.But he also met Remus Lupin, ate some chocolate, and Hermione had a secret meeting with Professor McGonagall - which turns out to be a time turner.I'll also share my favorite feedback from you on the Expecto Plotchango questions so far!For bonus episodes as well as many other benefits such as early access, show prep notes, personal shoutouts, and more BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/BelatedBinge*Free trial availableI'd also love for you to join the discussion, which you can do in 2 key ways:

Today is a bit of a retrospective episode because I realized that after we finished chamber of secrets. We never did a book wrap episode or in our case… give away any BINGIES!!! I went on vacation. Posted some bonus and guest episodes I’d done and then we jumped right into Prisoner of Azkaban. With all the new binges starting up and whatnot I didn’t even realize I missed it.So I figured before we gear up to restart our chapter by chapter episode coverage of prisoner of azkaban - I’d go back and give out my Bingies for chamber of secrets after I give some updates on the podcast and ask for YOUR FEEDBACK.For bonus episodes and more cool stuff, check out Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BelatedBingeThis includes access to my Sons of Anarchy sequel fanfic I started back in 2020 that I'm now reading for Bonus Binge Squad and above Patrons!I'd love for you to join the discussion, which you can do on Patreon, or 2 other key ways:

I was thinking about Harry Potter spin-offs and I was thinking about the new upcoming TV show on Max. I know many people wanted new content. So that led me to thinking about how the new series could launch new spin-off shows. And what if I could decide what those were? And how they got launched? And what if they were all BACKDOOR PILOTS?!?And then I hit record...

I'm turning back the clock to January 4, 2022. That's the day I posted the first chapter episode for this podcast covering the first chapter of Sorcerer's Stone. It's also the day I posted 2 theory episodes to Patreon called "All the Hookah Smoke" and "How Did He Know." Did Dumbledore create the hookah object we saw Grindlewald use in Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindlewald? What about that instant replay magic we saw Newt use in the same move? Have we seen that before? My answers are yes - and I'll explain as I'm revisiting these theories. Remembering what my thoughts were back then, what my thoughts are now, connecting them together, and discussing them with myself -- and you.

I thought we could take a quick break from the chapter episodes and tackle a current events topic: The upcoming Harry Potter TV series. I'll run through my reaction, my thoughts on how I think it could be a really cool tv show and spawn spinoff opportunities as well as why I ultimately think it's going to fail.

After a ministry car escorts him to the train station and an awkward conversation with Mr. Weasley, he's on the Hogwarts Express and it doesn't matter that there's a convicted murderer out to get him, right? WRONG! Before the train makes it to the school, it's stopped and we're introduced to DEMENTORS! Which are just the physical form of depression. So that's fun...Harry passes out from his childhood trauma, but at least we won't hear the term "Azkaban guard" anymore. Also, we met Lupin!!!
