Harry Potter Movie Minutes

Episode 6 (Minutes 51:00 to 1:01:05): This week opens in the common room as the trio formulate their (evil?) plan to have Harry teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts. Along with our guest Brock, we visit the creaky Hog’s Head which we liken to a Wisconsin dive bar and have some probing questions about the Room of Requirement and its other possible uses. Join us next week for minutes 1:01:05 to...

Episode 5 (Minutes 40:22 to 51:00): This week opens a briefcase of Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes and launches us into wondering why that kid had a jowl chin? We enjoy the educational decrees montage but have some problems with why they made Luna so creepy in the woods? That’s not our Luna! Also, a true crime theory evolves of what exactly happened to her mother… Join us next week for minutes 51:00 to 1...

Episode 4 (Minutes 30:20 to 40:22): This week swoops us over the beginning of the school year feast and up to a rather sparse head table. We are introduced to Umbridge’s BD energy and soon have a somewhat quiet but tense standoff in the Gryffindor common room. Join us for the most uncomfortable detention ever and a deep dive into where torture pens come from! Join us next week for minutes 40:22 to...

Episode 3 (Minutes 20:52 to 30:20): This week proceeds with the legal drama of one Harry James Potter and his witness for the defense, APWBD. (I am not spelling that out). We talk disturbing train happenings such as an unsettling Voldemort in a suit and why is Sirius only wearing a furry coat?! This along with a fuzzy Order of the Phoenix photo and we have just so much to go over… Join us next wee...

Episode 2 (Minutes 10:19 to 20:52): This week we arrive at Number 12 Grimmauld Place complete with the mad mutterings of Mrs. Black. We get way too excited about the bread that Molly has on the table and debate whether Harry is too psyched to see Sirius but not angry enough with Ron and Hermione. However, we absolutely do agree that Arthur Weasley is a gem and must be protected at all costs. Join...

Episode 1 (Minutes 0 to 10:19): This week blazes into a hot English summer and a dramatic dementor attack to kick off movie 5! We are thrilled to discuss emo Harry and our conspicuous departure from Little Whinging. A raucous discussion occurs about the fashion choices in this chunk and the age and depiction of Mrs. Figg. Join us next week for minutes 10:19 to 20:52! ( Scene Marker: This chunk end...

It's the season ending bonus episode! We watched the deleted scenes together and discussed which ones to cut or keep. We chat a bit about the fourth movie overall and our excitement to get into the next movies. Halfway through! Thank you all for your continued support, tune in soon for Season 5, Movie 5, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!

Episode 14 (Minutes 2:13:52 to END!): This week wraps up season four, movie four! We throw around some theories as to what these final lines from Moody could mean and wonder why these movies hate a simple explanation? Also, the amount of times Harry is manhandled at the end of this movie is sort of indecent. We love these movies and this project, thank you to all of you who have listened so far!

Episode 13 (Minutes 2:03:07 to 2:13:52): This week launches a Dark Mark into the sky that vomits out Death Eaters?! And we have so many more questions from there. Thankfully, we have our lovely guest, Paul Warren returning to the podcast to help us answer them. Listen in for mask screaming, creepy scar touching, and an indeterminable amount of Death Eaters in this graveyard. Join us next week for...

Episode 12 (Minutes 1:52:53 to 2:03:07): This week winds us through the (boring) maze challenge and transports us to the graveyard. We talk tombstones, Voldemort puppets, and the efficiency with which Wormtail chops off his own hand. Very impressive. Very gross. Join us next week for minutes 2:03:07 to 2:13:52! ( Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Voldy touching his wand to Wormtail’s Dark Mark.)

Episode 11 (Minutes 1:42:42 to 1:52:53): This week falls backward a super long way down into Igor Karkaroff’s courtroom scene and a chaotic amount of paper stacks. We wonder about the rabid madness of Crouch Jr. and why everyone might seem so weary in this scene. The organization of Snape’s potion closet becomes an issue as well as Harry having yet another door slammed in his face by a faculty mem...

Episode 10 (Minutes 1:32:35 to 1:42:42): This week swims us through the second task and the impressive underwater scenes. We admire most of this but have feelings about the dummy/puppet/wax figures… Also, Barty Crouch, Sr. is an odd character we can’t get a grip on from the movie. Comment on our social media why you think Moody glared at HP while shutting the door-or if you remember “Street Sharks...

Episode 9 (Minutes 1:22:53 to 1:32:35): This week floats us into Harry’s dream/vision (we aren’t sure which) before the second task. We discuss the complexity of that dream, how Neville deserves better, and isn’t that Ginny telling off the twins for taking bets?! Weigh in and listen now! Join us next week for minutes 1:32:35 to 1:42:42! ( Scene Marker: This chunk ends with HP backflipping out of t...

Episode 8 (Minutes 1:12:12 to 1:22:53): This week floats us into the Yule Ball and we have a LOT to say. Thankfully, we have our lovely guest Brian with us to help us break it all down from the costumes to the decor to the theories on the background teens. Who is McGonagall talking to saying they're late? Are students drinking at this event? And for the love, what is that creature on Moody’s kilt?...

Episode 7 (Minutes 1:02:45 to 1:12:12): This week picks up at the end of the first task and has us wondering what happened to the corpse of the Hungarian Horntail?? As well as so many other questions about this chunk. We argue over Hogwarts merch and how friends and brothers actually make up after fights. We also joyfully discuss the concept of floating toast and why Filch is a thing…so it’s chaos...

Episode 6 (Minutes 52:08 to 1:02:45): This week clomps us into Moody’s office and creates so many questions about this space (does he live there? Are those all foe glasses?! What is in his hand?!) We witness the chaos of the first task and have even more possibly unanswerable questions about the dragons involved. Also, CGI Madame Maxime…good Lord. Buckle up! Join us next week for minutes 1:02:45 t...

Episode 5 (Minutes 41:31 to 52:08): This week swoops us up into the owlery for the first time to get a note from Sirius and bite from an asshole bird. We see fire breathing dragons in wooden crates, Neville in a loch, and a courtyard showdown that is…problematic. For many reasons. (Why is it always ferrets?!) Join us next week for minutes 52:08 to 1:02:45! ( Scene Marker: This chunk ends with Mood...

Episode 4 (Minutes 31:22 to 41:31): This week gathers us around the Goblet of Fire in anticipation of the choosing of the champions. We ponder this week how the Goblet makes its choices, Madame Maxime has a rough CGI treatment, and of course we discuss the infamous violence surrounding “DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE!?” We have always enjoyed that just oh so much. Join us next week fo...

Episode 3 (Minutes 21:32 to 31:22): This week introduces the rules of the Tri-Wizard tournament in front of that cool chocolate phoenix cake. We have our first lesson with Moody and discuss the location of this classroom and why so many bugs and lenses?! Join us for our sexy discussion about the looks exchanged when Krum enters his name…aiee. Join us next week for minutes 31:22 to 41:31! ( Scene M...

Episode 2 (Minutes 10:30 to 21:32): This week stampedes us into the chaos caused by the Death Eaters at the Quidditch World Cup. We make it to Hogwarts where we have definite feelings about the two schools invited to the tournament, specifically their entrances and the weird arrival of Mad-Eye Moody. Can anyone explain the ceiling freakout?! Join us next week for minutes 21:32 to 31:22! ( Scene Ma...

Episode 1 (Minutes 0 to 10:30): This week slithers us into the graveyard and into movie 4, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”! (Or as Cory refers to it, “Harry Potter and the Year of No Haircuts”.) We dive right into the new season discussing the Quidditch World Cup and lack of mascots, why wouldn’t anyone explain a portkey,  and what is with these precarious seats?! Enjoy the new added se...

You know what time it is, it's the season-ending Bonus/Boner episode! We watched the 4:30 minutes of deleted scenes on YouTube and had a few feelings about them...just a few. Enjoy the nonsense and, as always, thank you so much for listening!  We will be back with Season 4, Movie 4 very soon-thank you for all of your support!  Feel free to reach out with your own questions and theories,...

Episode 13 (Minutes 2:00:05 to THE END): This week wraps up this chaotic movie and finishes the mission Dumbledore had given HP and Hermione. We discuss our feelings about this movie overall and Cory breaks his microphone when he explains the giant missing plot points that Lupin could have offered (please excuse the crackling..). Stay tuned for a post-credit scene with an again patient Cory trying...

Episode 12 (Minutes 1:50:00 to 2:00:05): This week trots us down to Hagrid’s hut once more as future-Harry and future-Hermione begin their mission from Dumbledore (not at all confusing). We delight in the scenes with Beaky and have a few things to say about how Hermione is portrayed in this sequence. Also, CROW BUDGET. Join us next week for minutes 2:00:05 to THE END! ( Scene Marker: This chunk en...

Episode 11 (Minutes 1:40:00 to 1:50:00): This week transforms Professor Lupin into “WereLupin” and throws us into some chaotic scenes. We are joined by our lovely guest, Brock in North Carolina, who helps us take apart these 10 minutes with some great insights. We discuss Snape’s age, werewolf teacher protocol, and is Dumbledore a little too happy to send these kids on a mission?? Join us next wee...
