Chapter 13 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Very Secret Diary! Hermione is back from the Hospital Wing (only for a little bit). Harry finds out something unexpected about Hagrid (even though it isn't true), and it's Valentine's Day and Harry receives an embarrassing Valentine!

This episode is dedicated to Robbie Coltrane, who portrayed Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies. He sadly passed away yesterday but his legacy lives on. I discuss chapter 12 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Polyjuice Potion.

Yes, this episode title is in Parseltongue because this is THAT chapter! "I heard you speaking Parseltongue-snake language!" I love how I'm the Heiress of Slytherin and all this Heir of Slytherin stuff is happening during these episodes for Chamber of Secrets! Such a fun chapter discussion!!!

Harry feels the pressure to get to the Snitch before Malfoy, or to die trying. And he does. He gets to the Snitch before him. But he also nearly dies trying. Taking Wood's pep talk a little too seriously? Maybe. What a fun chapter! Dobby makes an appearance again, and the brewing of the Polyjuice Potion commences! Something not so fun about this chapter: Colin Creevey is attacked :/ Join me as I d...

I recorded this episode last week, and am posting it today, on September 8th, 2022. Her Majesty, The Queen passed away earlier today and I want to dedicate this episode to her.  The spookiness continues at Hogwarts after the first attack. Things are starting to look rather grim for Harry, and the whole school wants to learn more about the Chamber of Secrets, and the Heir(ess) of Slytherin. I...

The trio goes to their first deathday party..and it's on Halloween!! Super cool, right? Something that's not cool: the actual party. Something else that's not cool: they miss the Halloween feast. Something else that's not cool: Harry hears that voice again and it says it's going to kill. Something else that's not cool: the trio is found by a message on the wall saying the Chamber of Secrets has be...

My first episode with a guest co-host!! I'm joined by a fellow Slytherin and we discuss Chapter 7 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Mudbloods and Murmurs. Such a great chapter because of how much it sets up for the rest of the series. This is the first time the word "Mudblood" is used and there is so much discussion about it and the characters in this chapter. It was so great to unpack i...

In this episode, I'm discussing chapter 6 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Gilderoy Lockhart. We are introduced to some new characters, such as Colin Creevey and Justin Finch-Fletchley, as well as some important Mandrakes! One of the most notable people in this chapter is of course, Gilderoy Lockhart, an absolute ridiculous fraud, and students are noticing on the first day. Yikes..not a...

Ever been attacked by a tree? Well, Harry and Ron have. That's right, it's The Whomping Willow! In this chapter, I discuss Chapter 5 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! This tree is so intense it gets a chapter named after it. They have some luck in this chapter for sure-both good and bad. Sorry Dobby, and sorry Snape (not really sorry to you Snape because Harry can't be expelled because h...

Chapter 4 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets discussion! At Flourish and Blotts!! There's a lot of firsts in this chapter. Diary, necklace, vanishing cabinet, Hand of Glory, Knockturn Alley, Gilderoy Lockhart, Lucius Malfoy!! Fun chapter that is done very well in the movie. I talk about why some of these firsts are so important, and how they tie into big things in the series, such as Volde...

In this episode, I talk about Chapter 3 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The Burrow! Harry finally escapes the awful Dursley house with the help of some of my favorite characters: Ron, Fred, and George! As he travels to the Burrow, he learns more about the Wizarding World and is finally in a good place, mentally and physically. 

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore!!!! What a movie!!! I give my honest opinion about it after my first two showings, what I liked, what I didn't like! I really enjoy this series and would love to know what everyone else thought!  Although I think the movie left more to be desired, I still enjoyed it and liked the Wizarding World connections.  Email: theheiressofslytherinpodcast...

Chamber of Secrets!!!!!! So excited to start discussing the second installment in this amazing series!! I love where there story is heading and I discuss the first two chapters of this book in this episode!!!! The Chamber of Secrets book/movie is where I got the name for this podcast!! Poor Harry is having the worst birthday being stuck at the Dursleys. He hasn't even heard from his friends all su...

I discuss the Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore trailer #2! This was such an exciting trailer filled with some cool shots... but it raised even more questions and answered none of mine from the first trailer. I cannot wait for this movie! Let me know what you thought of the trailer. Email: theheiressofslytherinpodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @slytherinpod Facebook: theheiressofslytherinpodcas...

Join me as I discuss Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone!! I talk about some of the similarities and differences in the book and movie of this first part of Harry's journey! I talk about what I like, what I didn't like as much, and how the differences are great...because honestly, this is a fantastic book to movie adaptation. It's the best adaptation out of all the movies!!

The last chapter of the Sorcerer's Stone!!!! I can't believe it!! Join me as I discuss the conclusion to this part of Harry's story. Such a big chapter filled with foreshadowing and explanation (not enough explanation though, we can blame Dumbledore for that). 

The episode title says it all. This is THAT chapter! Almost done with the Sorcerer's Stone!

The Harry Potter 20th Anniversary Return to Hogwarts Reaction premiered on HBO Max and it was amazing!!!!! I talk about what happened in it and my thoughts about what the actors said!!!!

Join me as I discuss Chapter 15 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The Forbidden Forest! We meet some centaurs for the first time and learn about them and unicorns!! Unfortunately, Harry is not having a great time throughout this entire chapter. It could be due to the fact that he lost Gryffindor sooo many points in the House Cup (along with Hermione and Neville). Or it could be due to the...

We finally got a trailer for The Secrets of Dumbledore!!!! In this special bonus episode, I provide a trailer breakdown and give my thoughts. theories, and opinions! Making connections with the previous Fantastic Beasts movies and with what we know from the Harry Potter series was so fun!!!

 I discuss Chapter 14 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback!!! Hagrid finally got his dragon! However, it's illegal and poses a big problem for him and for the trio...thanks Malfoy. This is a fun chapter and I've titled this episode to reference the Goblet of Fire movie!

I discuss chapter 13 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Nicolas Flamel. We finally learn who Nicolas Flamel is!!!! Did Harry set a record for the fastest Snitch ever caught?? Possibly. Harry said something very nice to Neville and Ron and Hermione did something nice for Harry. What a nice chapter full of heartwarming moments, but also some sinister ones as well....

It's Harry's first Christmas at Hogwarts!!! He has a great time, is gifted THE Invisibility Cloak, and comes across The Mirror of Erised...
