Alice and Martha are back to continue their discussion of Hermione, covering her arc in the fifth book. You might remember this as the book when Hermy stands up to Umbridge by forming Dumbledore's Army, but more importantly, she learns to knit and becomes one of the few brave enough to say Voldemort's name.

Alice and Martha kick off the remainder of their series about Herm-oh-ninny, with Part 3 very logically covering Book 4. This is going to be a bit of a marathon, so make sure to pace yourselves or you may wind up clutching a stitch in your side!

Recurring guest Shut Up Tim returns for the next five minutes of Alfonso's magnum opus, in which the trio gets settled at Hogwarts for the year. Michael Gambon gives a foreboding speech, the new Fat Lady makes her first appearance, and Harry makes the mistake of eating one of *those* candies. There's also a very obvious MVB and our first sighting of Professor Trelawney. Good luck, Professor. Pleas...

There's more than enough to talk about with this groundbreaking double character study! Archie and Hassan Mostafa have lots in common, from their interesting Harry Potter Wiki pages to their their ability to make Hermione giggle.

The Real Weird Sisters are joined again by recurring guest Shut Up Tim. In addition to analyzing an important five minutes, filled with frog puppets, new "Flitwick," and Alfonso's take on dementors, the official Real Weird Sisters each sample a Take 5 candy bar, and get an important cameo update from a very cool actor.

It's time to discuss another unique and creative side character, Amos Diggory! From his relationship with his SON! to his rivalry with Harry and his confrontation with Winky, Amos is a fully three-dimensional character (except, of course, when his head is a possible 2-D hologram).

It's time for the next five minutes of Prisoner of Azkaban - we're flying through this movie as fast as all of the MVBs !

Alice and Martha put on their fang earrings and dragon skin boots, even if that means they won't be attending a rock concert any time soon. There's no other word for it - this episode is cool. Plus, an important discovery about the Harry Potter Wiki(s?!).

The Real Weird Sisters are joined again by recurring guest Shut Up Tim to review what is quite possibly the worst five minute chunk of Prisoner of Azkaban. From the kneeslapper "mind your heads" moment to the "right smart bird" moment, there is plenty to dissect, though we know we'll never fully understand the intricacies of Alfonso's beautiful, dark, twisted mind. Please consider supporting us on...

The Real Weird Sisters and Tim discuss everything about minute 5:01 TO minute 10:00 of Prisoner of Azkaban.

Alice and Martha won't be whistling "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" on this episode, but there's still plenty to laugh at in this discussion of Uncle Vernon in books 3 - 7. From his relationship to his sister to his inability to say the word "dementor" correctly, Vernon's character is nothing if not consistent throughout the series!

Alice and Martha discuss Sirius in the first half of the fifth book, as he walks the line between father figure and friend to Harry and heads toward his tragic demise. Because his plot is less than "stubby" in this book, Sirius will be the topic of at least one more character study!

Crack open a nice cold Snapel and settle in for our second conversation about everyone's favorite bat-like professor. From his love of the very old and valuable Whomping Willow to his choice to pair Harry and Draco together at the Dueling Club, we can say for certain that every action Snape carries out is due to his love of Lily and his promise to protect Harry. It was all just as Snape planned! P...

Listeners, start your engines, because you're about to get.... HOOCHED!
