Knowing Sirius, he must have been very reluctant to offering his house in the first place.
I’m surprised that Lockhart’s book is still a reference after what happened in Book 2. I did appreciate the WWW update!
I wonder what Dumbledore told Sirius.
Oh cool, happy two years back in April 2018! This April it will be three years!
This comment is definitely way too late for you to be seeing it, but I wanted to say that while the timeline of the Marauders is confusing, I think there is something really beautiful about the idea that James and Lily’s parents died young because it’s the idea that death runs in the Potter family, if that makes sense, and could also contribute to them getting married so quickly, perhaps even bonding over the early death of their parents. Also, I actually love the idea that their group of people was so young during the first wizarding war because it allows for this naievity — Lily and James were not these incredibly and revered wizards but rather two kids figuring their lives out. It makes their sacrifice and also Wormtail’s betrayal more interesting because they are so young when everything transpires. Even though there has to be some suspension of disbelief for the timeline to work, I see a poetry in the idea that they’re young and don’t really know anything but that their actions still have such a great effect on the future. To me, it makes Lily and James more human rather than untouchable figures of heroism, if that makes sense.
Love the podcast!! You are bringing me a lot of joy, especially right now with so much hurt in the Harry Potter community.
