Great Show

My 8 year old son just recently became a Harry Potter fan. We are on book 5 right now, but he also like listening to the story being broken down in detail. Your podcasts combined with the books have given us something great to bond over.

It's like a literature circle for Harry Potter

I've been listening to the podcast since the beginning and find it brilliant. I love your guys' casual style while still having a very thoughtful and in-depth discussion of the books that I as a teacher can't help but love. You have become part of my Sunday tradition as I do dishes and fold laundry while I think more deeply about meanings and twists in the book.

I would like to get your thoughts on something that has been a bee in my bonnet for the better part of a year now. Harry's invisibility cloak is such a beloved item. In the story behind it, however, it so often gets touted as "the good gift". I realize in the 7th book the golden trio differs on what gift from Death they think was best, but it is implied, by the books and the story of the Deathly Hallows within the books, that the invisibility cloak and its intended purpose is certainly on a pedestal while the other gifts cause nothing but trouble.

Is there anything about this cloak that truly makes it the morally superior Hallow? Could the other Hallows have been used for good as well and entirely avoided trouble?

Theory

Wow! incredible podcast I love listening to it! I was re listening to the books and had a thought. When Harry puts on the invisibility cloak and then leaves Griffindor tower, the fat lady just sees herself being opened, but no one there. She must be super confused about why this is happening. The part I realized though was that this would have also happened while James, Sirius, Lupin, and Peter where at school. I love to think that this was such a weird thing that kept happening to her but stopped when the mauraders left Hogwarts. But then when Harry came to school it started again and I can see her panicking and thinking, "oh no! its happening again!"

Hey Brother! Love the podcast and look forward to it every week! My question is: Could a Dementor suck the soul out of a Horcrux? Keep up the good work guys! You rock!

Ready to hop abord the Hogwarts Express

Super excited to join them for this chapter by chapter journey through the Wizarding World. I'm positive the insights and tidbits they find along the way will be both educational and entertaining. Who know what type of mischief they will manage along the way with the tangents they will enevabitly end up on, but I for one am ready with wand in hand for this magical adventure.

Light and Fun Nostalgia

I've listened to other chapter by chapter Harry Potter pods, and this is shaping up to be my favorite. It clearly springs from a love of the text and focuses on how to enjoy and understand the text to the extreme rather than springboarding into heavier topics. TTGD stays apolitical, light, and fun. I'm just thrilled that I get to listen to these episodes for the next few years!
