Alice and Martha once again find themselves on different sides of the aisle regarding what exactly is happening in this chapter. However, we can all agree that the gleam of triumph in Dumbledore’s eyes following Voldemort’s return was thanks to the fact that he would no longer have to coerce Harry into becoming blood brothers… Read more
Come in, Command Central: Harry Potter is about to die. We repeat: Harry Potter is about to die. in a lesser reported story, Martha and Alice have a rare difference of Potter opinion and have very contrasting emotional responses to this chapter. You’ll be edge of your seat, panting like Bellatrix, to hear how those… Read more
It’s time for the prince’s long-awaited T-A-L-E, in which not only the page number is highly significant, but the number 19 (or 20?) is as well. Grawp is missing a shoe (and we all know how expensive Danskos in that size are), Ron and Hermione completely dip on Harry, and Snivellus becomes somewhat more humanized…. Read more
Alice and Martha sound like Lucius as they discuss “the boy,” who makes his way out of the castle and heads for the Shrieking Shack. Hagrid also makes his way out of the castle as the acromantulas get a bit restive. And finally, it’s the ultimate flight of the Prince. Please consider supporting us on… Read more
Luckily for you, Alice and Martha have not, to use the common phrase, done a bunk this week, though they might have to if all the Slytherin listeners start coming for them! Harry tracks down the Gray Lady, who really might want to consider taking out a restraining order on “The Baron,” and finds his… Read more

Neville’s back, and he’s a changed man, from his newfound confidence to his shrunken arm. At the same time, gossip king Terry Boot can barely contain his excitement, Michael Corner considers opening a bar (though the name is still undecided) and Cho Chang, Harry’s ex-girlfriend, is as tempting as ever. All of this chaos does… Read more
In the process of persuading the GOAT of his commitment to the mission, Harry ends up convincing himself, and proceeds with his nice job, which is the sort of thing you’d expect an unqualified wizard kid to be able to do without overstretching themselves. Meanwhile, Ron stuffs himself with cheese and mead, though he definitely… Read more
Heh! $%&*#!! Three highly edible humans take a joyride on the back of a dragon – in case you hadn’t noticed, they just broke out of Gringotts. They’re covered in burns, but it’s nothing a little dittany and pumpkin juice can’t fix. At least they’re not wearing the cup around their necks, that would look… Read more
The trio flies by the seats of their pants to make good on a premise laid out in book one, banking on one evil hair to disguise Hermione (and her voice) perfectly. Griphook keeps a tight grip on ol’ Hook, Travers finds an amazing hiding spot in the Gringotts caverns, stalagmite’s got an “M” in… Read more
