The first repeat guest on the podcast AND first back-to-back chapter guest! It's time for the main climax, the final showdown, and of course the VILLAIN MONOLOGUE. And nobody can villain monologue like a teenage memory of Tom Riddle....

Remember in the last chapter when Ginny tried to talk to Harry and Ron at breakfast? Then Percy came and ruined everything and she ran away? What if he didn’t do that? In this episode, I attempt to answer that very question. I also have quite a few answers to share from some of YOU. After I offer up an alternate, fan fiction style series of events if Ginny DOES tell Harry and Ron what's been h...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The Chamber of Secrets. I was joined by Sarah from First Years: A Harry Potter Podcast for adult first time readers of the series and we had a blast with this one, making history. The first repeat guest on the podcast! It's the title chapter of the book, so it must be important! Harry manipulates he and Ron's way to the hospital wing where an uncons...

What if Harry and Ron didn’t follow Hagrid's advice about the Spiders? And what was Dumbledore doing during his suspension? I answer both of these questions in this episode of belated binge Harry Potter and share your feedback as well!  Find out why NOTHING would have to change if they didn't follow the spiders. Enjoy my alternate chapter events if they instead focused on Dumbledore's...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Chapter 15, Arogag discussion continues as I reveal my favorite foreshadow moments, give and take some house points, and call out what I thought was Riddikulus! Divination: “No, I’m sorry, there’s every chance the attacker might come back to finish these people off. . . .” Hagrid’s hint about the spiders was far easier to understand — the trouble was, there...

In this episode, I’ll attempt to shed light on the relationship between Albus Dumbledore and Hagrid and where Arogag falls into that. How would Dumbledore have treated Hagrid during his time at Hogwarts? Did Dumbledore know Arogag was in the Forbidden Forest? What about 50 years ago? I’ll also share a headcanon theory or perhaps borderline fan fiction about how Newt Scamander may or may not have b...

I was joined by Fyrebyrd from The Dusty Caldron Podcast to discuss the events in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets chapter 15: Arogag. Link to The Dusty Caldron Podcast website: https://dustycaldronpodcast.com/ Things get a bit hairy for Harry and Ron Weasley in this chapter, with WAY TOO MANY LEGS! With no Hermione, no Dumbledore, and no Hagrid around, and Hogwarts still on lockdown our lit...

In this headcanon episode of Belated Binge, I wrap up the discussion from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Chapter 14, Cornelius Fudge by sharing my thoughts on the Expecto Plot-Chango question: What If Harry and Ron DIDN'T let Hermione go off to the library alone when Harry hears the monster? This is my attempt to save Hermione from a giant snake and it goes full on fan fiction! But I...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Chapter 14, Cornelius Fudge discussion continues as I reveal my favorite foreshadow moments, give and take some house points, and call out what I thought was Riddikulus! Divination: “Riddle might have got the wrong person,” said Hermione. “Maybe it was some other monster that was attacking people. . . .” “How many monsters d’you think this place can hold?” R...

This week on Belated Binge, I covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets chapter 14: Cornelius Fudge. In this chapter, Hermione is petrified, Hogwarts goes on lockdown, and worst of all QUIDDITCH IS CANCELLED! All this means Harry and Ron are breaking curfew. They use the invisibility cloak to visit Hagrid, hoping to ask him about the Chamber of Secrets and the monster from 50 years ago. Unfo...

In this headcanon episode of Belated Binge, I wrap up the discussion from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Chapter 13, The Very Secret Diary by sharing fan responses as well as my thoughts on the Expecto Plot-Chango question: What If Harry Potter DIDN'T Find Tom Riddle's Diary in Moaning Myrtle's flooded bathroom? After some shoutouts for listener responses, I share my theory on...

I attempt to shed some light (Lumos) on a theory I've developed about why Dumbledore hasn't stopped the attacks and caught the Heir of Slytherin yet. Hint: it has to do with Harry Potter! And Snakes! And Voldemort! And how the Chamber of Secrets is being opened! And who Dumbledore thinks is opening it! And...... OK - listen to the episode. If you enjoy my theory and this podcast and want m...

This week on Belated Binge, I covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets chapter 13: The Very Secret Diary. In this chapter, someone (*cough Ginny cough*) tried to flush a book DOWN A TOILET! Which is not the disposal method I would have recommended. But as plot would have it, *they* chose a toilet in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. One she just happen to be hanging out in. All of this lead Ha...

This week on the Binge, I was joined by Ellen & Keighty, the hosts of For Fawkes' Sake podcast and we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets chapter 11: The Dueling Club. In this chapter, among many many other things, we get school sanctioned magic fight club! Lockhart continues to be useless, an appendix according to our guests. I rant about how the sequence of events following D...

This week on the Binge, I covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' 10th chapter: The Rogue Bludger. In this chapter Lockhart is max-level incompetent. First in the classroom, but it pays off for the trio to get the potion book they need to launch their Polyjuice Plan into action. And then again following the quidditch match where Harry played dodge the crazy bludger until he broke his...

This week on the Binge, I covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' 9th chapter: The Writing on the Wall. In this chapter Filtch is beside himself about Mrs. Norris who we find out is petrified and he blames Harry immediately as our trio was found at the scene of the crime by seemingly the entire school taking the wrong route to wherever any of them were supposed to be going. Lockhart i...

This week on the Binge, I was joined by Christina, the host of The Restricted Section podcast and we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets chapter 8: The Deathday Party.

This week on the Binge, we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' 7th chapter: Mudbloods and Murmurs. In this chapter we get hints of obsession, stalking, some bribery, a heavy dose of blood status racism and perhaps a hint of budding courtship. It's a heavy-themed chapter for a kids book.  We lighten (Lumos) the mood with a quidditch chat. We do some Divination foreshadowing, gi...

This week on the Binge, we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' 6th chapter: Gilderoy Lockhart. In this chapter Ron gets a howler. We learn about mandrakes. We meet a couple new characters that will be important to the plot and we have our first defense against the dark arts lesson with the new professor who proves to be an egotistical douchebag and is clearly incompetent.   We als...

This week on the Binge, we covered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' 4th chapter: At Flourish and Blotts.  In this chapter Harry is transported to the wrong side of town - however much it defies logic - witnesses some shady Malfoy behavior, is nearly kidnapped, meets a total tool who he finds out will be teaching him, and has front row seats to a dad fight. I also shine a light (Lumos)...
