We're back with David today in some of the most action-packed (and clue-packed) chapters yet! Luckily for us in the know, he doesn't pick up on most of them. In other news, the brothers' Dungeons and Dragons campaign has come to an end after 4 years. In that campaign, there was a "vampiric" villain, who David believes can be compared to Voldemort, that sought to overpower another group of wizards. But where is Voldemort now? David believes he's "ethereal," or on another plane, trying to figure out how to get his body back. Enjoy!

In today's Podcast, Daniel lays down his thoughts about the beef between Snape and Harry dating back to Snape's own school days. He also reviews what he thinks he knows about the series' end including the "not permanent" death of Harry Potter and a final battle. 

Today is David's turn again to recap Chapters 8-11 of Sorcerer's Stone. Good news! David remembered the name of the book, and although he has no idea what a sorcerer's stone is, he has some great insight into something called a philosopher's stone... 

Today's 90min podcast is chock full of David's theories. As the experienced wizard he is, he explains wandlore including the concept of "attunement." He also comments on goblin stereotypes, questions the relevance of ghosts "chilling at Hogwarts," and presents his Voldemort & Harry are "one in the same" theory. All while forgetting the name of the book and what could possibly be in the "grubby little package!" Oh, and apparently Scabbers becomes a human at some point? Stay tuned for today's Weasley's Wizarding Twincast!
