The Fox and the Foxhound: Love, Marriage, and Harry Potter

Guess who's baaaaack??? It's us (hiiiii). We've returned from our hiatus and what better way to celebrate than to turn our focus to that ol' party animal Percival (middle name redacted) Weasley? Did that textbook middle child really get a fair representation in the series? What is the narrative purpose of the series of events surrounding Percy's return in Book 7? And which...

Kev and the FFH Manager of Mischief Josh gather to talk the creative and cultural impact of Harry Potter on young adult fiction, fandoms, and millennials in general, and discuss the first episode of adult Harry Potter-like series The Magicians.

This week we're back with the Dudes of 'yore covering chapters 103-105 of 'All the Young Dudes' (though one of the Wilsons accidentally read ahead- spoiler alert it was Kev). We continue to feel very aligned with Remus in how confused we are by Sirius, spend some time takling TapeBall strategy, bite our nails through some serious werewolf developments, and revisit Kev's fa...

A brand new recurring theme kicks off this week with the inagural installment of 'Amanda's Sweet Treats'- chapters that we think are represented well in the corresponding movie, and kicking things off is Book 4's 'Priori Incantatum'. We're comparing page to screen and finding the moments that just WORK in David Yates' HP film debut, airing a few Cedric Diggo...

Not only has a trailer dropped, but HBO Max has also released the 30-minute 'Finding Harry' featurette, so of course The Wilsons simply must share their thoughts and opinions about it. Join us to find out what we're excited about, what worries us, and why we feel so dang conflicted about the whole shebang.  Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound Fo...

This week we're talking dudes: not just All the Young ones, but also Kev's famous music man-wives. Things are getting spicy in the Marauder circle and we're balancing how here for it we are with how much we want to protect our fave little lycanthrope. Plus: loyalty, having a castle to yourself at Christmas, and our rapid self-distancing from Peter.  Support the show Support FFH on P...

This week we're dipping our toes into the Inferi-infested waters of life and death philosophy- but with magic! How does the Wizarding World treat death? Does magical peoples' ability to see dead loved ones via portraits or the Mirror of Erised make them luckier than muggles or more tortured? It's getting heavy up in here- join us beyond the (metaphorical) veil, won't you? Suppo...

We're finally healthy and (mostly) sane, and what better way to triumphantly return than with a discussion about Regulus Black and Kreacher's Tale! We're dissecting, debating, and just generally getting devastated by RAB's sacrifice and Kreacher's subsequent misery. Plus- colonoscopy PSAs!  Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound Follow us...

We're back with the DUDES, and good lord there's lots of drama up in here. We're taking Sirius Black to court, giving Marlene her moment in the sun, swooning once again over Madame Pomfrey, and extolling the white trash virtues of Myrtle Beach, SC. We'll see you in there Foxies.  Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound Follow us! IG: @thefoxand...

The prodigal Kev has returned from his travels to the distant land of Orlando, Florida and brings tales of the mystical Epic Universe, including their brand-new Ministry of Magic and Wizarding Paris. He's giving us the (99% spoiler free!) rundown on the pros (there are many), cons (there are few), favorite touches, and everything in between.  Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.c...

We're back with those wee lil' cheeky blokes this week as we work our way through chapters 94-96 of All the Young Dudes . Some Hamilton-level forgiveness, some harsh truths from ol' Mad-Eye Moody, and Sirius can't seem to stop wistfully staring at our fave lycanthrope. Plus- what chess may tell us about Peter, the return of Professor Hot Stuff (at least in passing), and Don Hen...

Did you just get a hint of salt on your tongue? It's probably because the time has come for another one of Amanda's Salty Chaps, this time Book 7's "The Bribe". We're taking sides in Lupin vs Harry, lamenting the tragedy that is Regulus Black, and drawing parallels between Death Eaters infiltrating the media and the...well, state of things in the real world. Join us!...

This week, it’s the moment in All The Young Dudes that we knew was coming and is just as rough as we anticipated: the Snape-almost-eats-it-or-should-we-say-almost-gets-eaten prank. It’s the immediate aftermath, Remus is in an emotional maelstrom and rapidly being drawn back into his isolated and surly ways, and your hosts are processing an especially awful political landscape. Join us for the…fun?...

It’s time for another deep dive, and this time the honor goes to the ultimate enemies-to-lovers arc of the entire series: James Potter and Lily Evans. We’re exploring what we know about them canonically as well as the ways in which they continue to haunt so many of the series’ core characters. Plus: cocky rich kids we went to school with, our beef with dragonpox, and George Clooney. Support the sh...

This week, Amanda’s back on her salty chap sh*t and presenting Book 5’s “The Department of Mysteries” for discussion. We’re drawing all kinds of existential metaphors from the myriad rooms of this godforsaken magic government office, disparaging mall security officers, and asking for cleanup on aisle 97.  Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound Follow us!

This week, it’s a long-overdue return to our favorite foursome as we cover All the Young Dudes chapters 88-90. Things are getting tense, teenagers are really teenagering, and the Snape feud is reaching new levels of intensity. Also, we’re talking about the Venn diagram that is a circle of how Remus, Harry, and Amanda deal with people making a fuss over them, poor little Christopher and his pining,...

We’re back and hoping you haven’t forgotten our existence! For our triumphant(?) return after a couple of choatic weeks, we’re discussing the shops and businesses of Harry Potter’s magical world. Which shops do we wish we could actually visit? What are the real-world store parallels we see? And, perhaps most importantly, which of these illustrious storefronts are almost certainly galleon-launderin...

We’ve returned from our one-week Thanksgiving hiatus, back hanging with our favorite Young Dudes, and these three chapters do NOT disappoint. We’re talking broom cupboards, the ol’ Hufflepuff behind-the-greenhouse special, and Kev’s weird disdain from bomb-sniffing dogs.  Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound Follow us!

This week, we’re bringing you another of Amanda’s Fave Chaps (rebranding to Salty Chaps pending) and revisiting the beloved “Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs” from Prisoner of Azkaban . We're drawing all kinds of parallels to our ATYD journey, working through Kev's renewed shock about the prank that almost killed Snape, and somehow talking a LOT about Dumbledore in a chapter in which...

Well we’re apparently not done yappin’ just yet, since we’re bringing you another weirdly-long episode. This time, we’re rounding up recent news from the Wizarding World. We’re covering the HBO series casting news, the full-cast audiobooks, the parks, Broadway, and more. Plus, our unsolicited opinions about the PR nightmare that is being involved with anything JKR profits from. Support the show Su...

In this week’s jumbo-sized episode, we’re plodding our way through the next three pretty dense (and sometimes deeply uncomfy) chapters of ‘All the Young Dudes’. Join us as we extol the virtues of British name-calling, reminisce about our collective Doc Martens history, and genuinely wonder why prefects are not seen as narcs.  Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoun...

Join us this week as we don our best handmade ‘A’ and ‘K’ sweaters, cast a couple of housework spells, and get cozy at The Burrow- that’s right, it’s the deep dive of The Weasleys! What do the Weasleys have in spades, even though their Gringotts vault is bare? What are the Weasleys’ shining moments (and their not-so-great ones)? And why are we feeling sorry for Ron? All this, plus a very bad robot...

It’s time for the very first of Amanda’s Fave Chaps, and the premiere selection is Book 6’s “Snape Victorious”. We’re renewing our membership to the Snape Haters Club, theorizing about who exactly is conducting the Hogwarts Express, and having a moment for Emo Tonks. Join us!

This week, we’re giddily returning to All the Young Dudes after FAR too long away from these rapscallions. These chapters have us reminiscing about the start of our relationship, singing REO Speedwagon multiple times, and ready to ride at dawn for Sirius.  Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound Follow us!
