You have no idea how important this podcast has become for me
Same here!!!! 🖐🏻🥺
Yes! And I’m so happy it comes out Sundays because other creatos do nothing on weekends 😅
sunday routine
Me too - wait for it to come on to be me through my ironing
Same :)
I now want a tv series with Arthur and Agent Perkins going on raids for muggle artifacts like 80s Miami Vice 😂😂😂
Imagine they had to team up with macusa to deal with a certain evil Good Guy doll
"Bollocks, the teapot's about to blow!"
"Blast it, Perkins!"
Wand woshes and jinxes pounding the walls. Teapot dances on the table gysering hot tea.
This is 100% how I'm imaging them from now on
I fully expect Arthur and Perkins dream team references in upcoming podcast episodes 😂
I get a very Phineas and Ferb Perry the Platypus vibe🤣🤣
Having named houses is not a wizard thing. Old houses just have names in the UK. In fact, a lot of people even carry the name of their house with them, so you might always have a friend who lives at a Rose Cottage, even though they've moved three times since you've known them. They just grab up the sign and take it with them.
came here to say this. best one near me is a house simply called "the cottage" which i always laugh at.
Yeah i think they either tend to be old houses in rural areas / places that used to be rural, or just very expensive posh houses where the owners think they're too good for a number :p
What would the Dursley's name their house? Probably something like Frank.
‘Is the magic culture or just British?’ strikes again 🤣
It's like they completely forgot about James Bond's Home Alone moments in Skyfall.
1:07:08 Ginny's eyes were always described as brown in every printed edition of both UK and US versions. They're only described as green in the US audiobook narrated by Jim Dale. So it seems like Jim Dale just made a mistake.
Yeah the Stephen fry audiobook is brown too
Also just went to check my Stephen Fry 😄
That's even better because wasn't James' eyes brown?
So we got Harry who looks exactly like his father except his eyes, and there's Ginny who has a red hair like Lily except for her eyes, they're James'.
i'm not being sarcastic at all, i love the type of analysis that's like "why does the burrow have so many chimneys?" just focusing on the odd little details
Just wanted to say that Percys owl's name is pretty easy for us Brits to remember as Hermes was the name of a notoriously unreliable courier service. Hermes is also a greek God depicted as a winged messenger. Pretty apt for a mail owl.
Unreliable is putting it REALLY kindly as well 🤣 truly the Errol of muggle postage
"Left with a neighbour" need to be clarified because I don't know who's neighbour it was but it wasn't mine.
@@lewisbeer6156 More malicious than that...like asking a hungarian horntail to deliver owl post.
@@Kobrag90 nah cos Hungarian Horntails are efficient at what they do, more close to having your post done by a Blast Ended Skroot with the emotional range or Kirsten Stewart and the sense of direction of a Fly on a window
Seriously, my German ass only gets more despondent about the delivery service if it's GLS. The fact Hermes is not the worst is a feat in itself.
Ron must have been AI relieved when he saw the bars on harry's window. Lol. "Oh good, he was just being held hostage."
"I thought he just hated me, thank god he's just a prisoner."
Even though the twins know how to drive the Ford anglia, I'm pretty sure Ron was the one asking them for help "rescueing" Harry and it warms my heart that little 12 year old Ron was so determined to help his best friend that he would do anything.
Well except asking an adult, but that's normal for them. 😂🤣
@57: 20 My personal headcanon is that Lockhart's pest book has a picture of him fighting each pest like a fireman calendar and Mrs. Weasley looks it up just to check him out.
This is easily one of the most iconic chapters of the book.
More like one of the most iconic in the entire series
@7:15 i love how the chapter art at a quick glance kinda looks like Doc from cars. The two little heads look like the eyes.😂😂😂
I thought the same thing 😂😂😂
It’s a shame we never got to hear Paul Newman narrate this series.
Yes!!! I thought for sure J would say something about it !
Can't unsee that.
Naming ones House is an old British custom which began with the gentry naming their manors, halls, and castles. The custom gradually spread to the masses and everyday folk began naming their homes as well. Traditionally the house name is based on who the house was 'tied' to or located at.
See this is why I love Ron. Because Ron is Harry and Hermione's light. That's the real reason Dumbledore gave him the deluminator. Because out of all of them, Ron has always been able to see the silver lining in even the darkest situation. And lighten their spirits when things get too heavy. If Ron is lost, then they all are. He is the core of the trio, not Harry. Because as we saw in book 7, they have no heart or drive without him. Both Harry and Hermione really came to understand just how important Ron is to them. And I just love that.
Hermione is the brain of the trio, Harry is the soul, Ron is the heart.
@@rittersportfan❤
I love this and @rittersportfan i love that too!!
This
Harry is brawns, Hermione is brains, Ron is the emotional core of our group.
As a postal worker I can confidently say that houses having names is fairly common, at least in Sweden! Love the podcast, keep up the good work 😊
I live in Stockholm (moved here in November and originally from London, and our apartment doesn’t even have a number. Just our own names on the door😂 I find that so interesting
@@aliceepalermo5047 I promise that there is a number, all apartments have numbers, but it’s not 1 2 3 etc. It’s comprised of four numbers. The floor number 10 for first floor, 11 for second, 12 for third and so on and then 01 for the first door and so on. So the second floor third door would be 1103. It’s commonly printed very small on the doorframe, but you can find it in your rental contract if it’s not. I hope this helps 😊
For anyone wondering where the new episode is, this is on the community tab on their main channel:
"Hey Through the Griffin Door fans! Wanted to give you a little heads up that the episode that this week's Sunday episode will be uploaded on Monday due to some sickness in office (all good now though!) But the supercut for the last couple episodes will be live on Saturday!""
Thank youu i was looking for it 😂
Thanks! I was looking for that, didn’t think to check the main channel 😅
Yes J you are right. The way Fred and Gorge are saying it, is a funny way. They are asking him the question like he is on trial.
Yeah, but to that point, kids definitely do this. I can imagine them saying "Percy and Penelope sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G"
When Ben said “could you enchant a vacuum cleaner to fly” that reminded me of Disney halloween town where they do ride a vacuum cleaner 😆
In Harry Potter, the term Warlock specifically applies to wizards who have accomplishment with combative spells, often associated with law enforcement. So presumably Perkins in his youth was more of a on the ground sort of law enforcement person, presumably before his lumbago kicked in.
exactly my thoughts:)
And also usually for older wizards. Some old witches are called hag (which may or may not have negative connotations?), perhaps warlock is kind of the male version of hag.
@@countluke2334 Oh, hag isn't for older witches, a hag is literally a magical creature in the Wizarding World. They are basically human-like creatures, but so extremely hideous that they can't blend into humans like dwarves and vampires can. Unfortunately hags have a taste for children, which has caused a lot of turmoil over the years with their control by the magical governments of Europe.
@@countluke2334hags are creatures in HP, not old witches.
Which apparently can't be fixed with magic. Does that mean it's a magic ailment that muggles regularly deal with too?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, J!
The quote: “I ask this one great favor of you, Severus, because death is coming for me as surely as the Chudley Cannons will finish bottom of this year’s league.” Half Blood Prince
Old pig pens were build of stone. Pigs are so much stronger than people realize. So pens have to be built to withstand their weight. Usually sows, they do not react well to humans messing with their babies and will charge. Old fashion pens were stacked stones with a stone shelter, many even had a stone floor. Pigs can not sweat, so the stone helped keep them cool. The shelters had at least three sides, some were almost entirely enclosed with a pig sized doorway. So not some random dirty muddy mess. Pigs really don’t like muddy areas, they sometimes need mud to cool off, but prefer clean areas.
Came to say similar - our family's farm in Scotland (mum's side of the family) had a large, stone pig pen that could reasonably have served as a small cottage if needed.
Percy knows what Fred & George are like. I would keep everything I could private too.
Umm. Who says brooms (or any item) are a muggle invention? We just *assume* they are. Maybe some entrepreneurial wizard invented them and figured out making non-magical ones to sell to muggles would make him even more money. Wizards and muggles weren't always hidden from each other after all.
I think the raids Arthur was speaking of were on the offenders like Willy Widdershins abd not the muggle victims. Unless he's meaning they were having to pop in and retrieve cursed objects while the muggles were asleep.😂
We also know from Goblet & the flying carpet conversation that there are clarifications for wizard & muggle (and I suspect dual use) artifacts
This chapter is my favourite one in all of Harry Potter series and not only in the book but also in the movie I love that scene
The house elves finding an opening is an interesting thought. There is a scene in half blood prince where it is commented that Creature could find no loopholes in Harry's instructions. Would be funny if it was as simple as Lucius sarcastically saying to someone else "Too bad there's no one to warn Harry." Also I could see Dobby using the loophole to follow Lucius to Hogwarts at the end: "Master told Dobby to polish your boots..."
Wizards just love chimneys! Remember at the Quidditch World Cup, wizards were showing off by decorating their tents, and some just had absurd amounts of chimneys perched on top of their tents.
Guys, where is the new pod! I'm waiting!
25:30 I think you guys have really hit the key to understanding the house-elfs on the head earlier in the episode, it comes down to the house-elfs seeing the loopholes and wether they want to use them or not. Telling a house-elf to do laundry is not going to make that house-elf decide they are released from service if they are happy. I think the same is true with handing a house-elf a book with an old sock stuffed inside; a happy house-elf says to themself that they have been given a book to hold onto while a Dobby sees the chance at freedom. A Malfoy family perhaps practices extreme caution in telling their house-elf to do laundry because they probably have heard stories of miserable house-elfs using it as an excuse while if a Weasley family had a house-elf they would probably never think of it and would have a rather happy house-elf who is disinclined to take the loophole.
I believe this is also why in Deathly Hallows,when Harry gifts Regulus' locket to Kreacher, it doesn't seem to ring a bell with anyone as to whether the elf could consider this giving him freedom. Of course it's jewellery, not clothing, but it's still something you wear (and he does wear it in a following chapter), but I think an unhappy elf might be able to make it work on a technicality just like Dobby does with the sock in the book... Of course Harry has only just started to treat Kreacher better and understand that the way he treats him matters, so I wouldn't say the elf is exactly happy or loyal to Harry, but he is to Regulus and both the mission he is assigned and the gift given have to do with Regulus'legacy.
@Milonerve that's a good point. I think Kreacher may, at this point, still be inclined to spy on Harry, and therefore might decide not to use the loophole
Oh no! It’s Sunday morning and no chapter 4!
The best gifts we could get from you two is suprise extra chapters 😭😭😭😭 just putting it out there😂😂
Mama Weasley is one of the best fictional moms ever. She, Narcissa, Lily, and Andromeda are the greatest Wizard parents
Maybe not Narcissa she still hates muggleborns
the others love and care for everyone
@@jaydensmith150 all 4 of them put their lives on the line to save Harry's life. Narcissa's reasons were no doubt selfish, and she was certainly a product of her upbringing, unlike her sister Andromeda. However, even in the case of fiction, a human should be treated as such, good acts do not dissolve bad ones, neither should bad ones dissolve good ones. Narcissa willingly lied to Voldemorts face, about the greatest failure of his monstrous ambition, purely to save her son, and condemn Voldemort to his fate. She knew following Voldemort to the sword would destroy her family and her life, and couldn't face her family in any more danger, and thus, to save her son, lied to the most volatile and dangerous man on earth, famous for his ability to read minds, saving Harry's life, and ending Voldemorts. She wasn't a great human being I'll grant. But credit where credit is due, that's one hell of a mother.
@@lewisbeer6156 Even more was HOW she was able to lie to the greatest Legilimens of a generation. Snape had been lying to Voldemort for 15 years, give or take, and had never been detected. Narcissa lied to him that one time, also without detection, and they **BOTH** did it the same way. Their lies were cloaked in their love, which Voldemort could not penetrate.
@@arinerm1331 exactly, not just that as well, love is magical in its own rite in this saga, but the best part about that is that it isn't the magical properties of love that protect Snape and Cissa in these instances. It is Riddles out and out IGNORANCE to the concept, there's no magical charm or enchantment, it is simply a case of these people utilising the one thing Voldemort doesn't understand against him. Harry has that magical protection through love and then casts it himself on hogwarts in that moment, but the thing that allows him to flaunt Riddle again and again in this saga is the simple fact he possesses an emotion that riddle can't comprehend, it's power, its magic, he can learn and recognise. But being unable to understand and appreciate the CONCEPT renders it all null and void, which Snape, Harry, Narcissa and even Dumbledore utilise against him CONSTANTLY
I would love to see a comedic sitcom about Arther and Perkins conducting night raids on muggle houses. It would be so much fun.
Seeing that they have highlighted in their books and watching J bend the cover over backwards physically hurts me
Magic cheese can only make me think of the Kane Chronicles books. It's a powerful element of magic.
I can't wait till book three, one of my favorite books
3 and 4 are my favorites, can’t wait!! 🏈
Guys, where is the New one, I'm invested ❤
Hey brother!
Harry Potter has been a part of my life ever since Philosopher's Stone was first published. My friends and I have theorized over the years about many of your topics, and come to many of the same conclusions. Not always though 😂 As I have grown, HP has continued to be valuable to me, and now, as my partner and I prepare for our first child, I find myself diving back into your content so I can answer every question my son will have when I read the books to him. After hundreds of hours of reading, deconstructing, and reconstructing cannon, and non cannon, content, I am thrilled to bring magic to a new generation. Thank you for all you have contributed to our community. You are appreciated more than know. Now, onto business!
Another explanation for why Arthur gets in trouble for enchanting a car but the Ministry does not comes from the priorities of wizards as a society. They hide from muggles first and foremost, so it makes sense that acts that could expose magic, like a bright blue flying car soaring through the sky in the middle of the day, are more overt and treated more seriously than a normal, if fancy, car driving down the street with hidden magical amenities inside. It would follow, then, that a large part of Arthur's job is determining just how much of an impact any given magical item has on the Statute of Secrecy. Therefore then that means that the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office is actually WAY more important than anybody seems to give it credit for, which then means that Fudge is badder at his job than we thought because he keeps that office largely unfunded. It's just two people for all of Britain! That cannot be efficient. (Not that governments are known for being efficient but you get the point.)
Here is a question for you. How would things be different if Petunia was not jealous of Lily?
Snape is a vampire. Harry should have been in Slytherin. Live long and prosper 🖖 38:33
Exactly, also the quote of Ron is "It's all to do with bewitching things that are Muggle-made, you know, *in case they end up back in a Muggle shop or house.* ", which sounds like enchanting Muggle-stuff itself isn't forbidden, but passing enchanted items to Muggles, or more dangerous things (to the statue of secrecy) like flying cars are.
Raids are normally done at night to insure the target suspect is present and won't pull up while your investigating and catch you off guard, it also gives the raiding party tactical advantage as they will be fully prepared for the raid while any suspect would hopefully be caught unaware and possibly in a state of confusion due to being woke up. Also in modern times most door kickers have these wonderful little goggles we call nods that let you see in the dark which gives added difficulty to the defender.
The number 12 seems to be a running theme too I noticed recently. There's like 12 hands and planets in dumbledore's watch. Number 12 grimhold place, The 12 letters that Ron sent to Harry. 12 Christmas trees in the Great Hall in the first book. 12 lights at privet drive. 12 safe ways to woo witches. And now 12 teams in the quidditch League.
I love that the chapter art sorta makes the Anglia look like a Cars character.
This is the only shade of purple I can find starting with T: Tyrian purple (Ancient Greek: πορφύρα porphúra; Latin: purpura), also known as royal purple, imperial purple, or imperial dye, is a reddish-purple natural dye. The name Tyrian refers to Tyre, Lebanon. It is secreted by several species of predatory sea snails in the family Muricidae, rock snails originally known by the name Murex (Bolinus brandaris, Hexaplex trunculus and Stramonita haemastoma). In ancient times, extracting this dye involved tens of thousands of snails and substantial labour, and as a result, the dye was highly valued.
I’m pretty sure he was thinking of like magenta or something, doubtful it was Tyrian purple lol
Ron says: “He works in the most boring department. The Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office... It’s all to do with bewitching things that are Muggle-made, you know, in case they end up back in a Muggle shop or house.”
The Misuse of Muggle Artifacts happens when wizards bewitch objects to perform a different function than the original, like the teapot that attacked people (it was misused).
Also, I always assumed most objects wizards use - like clocks and radios - are simply wizard-made.
(Edit: Happy Birthday J! 🎈🎂)
The Burrow!!!!
Who was waiting for this chapter???
👇
Something that always stands out to me when rereading the series is how Arthur reacts when he first meets Harry. So many times, Harry has to deal with new people staring at his Scar when they first meet him and going, " Oh, The Famous Harry Potter" etc. etc. But with Arthur, he doesn't stare at the Scar or even acknowledge Harry's fame. Its all, "Oh Harry. Pleased to meet you. Ron has told us some much about you." He sees Harry not as a famous person, but as Ron's school friend. And he is almost instantly distracted by his delight at the flying car. Its no wonder why Harry took to him and Molly so easily.
This is hands down my favorite thing to listen to right now. I've always enjoyed hearing your theories and love your sense of humor but this podcast is just Awesome and 3/4
Is 4th chapter coming out today? It should have been posted by now...
If magical objects like the car counted towards the trace, then in wizard homes it would be going off all the time. (Think about floo powder, brooms, or the magic clock at the Weasley's)
Of course, in a wizard home it would be going off all the time anyway, since it detects spells around the underage wizard rather than specifically detecting that they cast it, which still doesn't make sense. But hey, this is the writer who came up with the rules for Quidditch.
Loving the idea of Arthur and Perkins being like a super hero squad or something like that. Continuing to laugh every time you guys bring it up.
The difference between a wizard and a warlock, is that wizards typically gain their power through study, observation, discipline, and practice. Where Warlocks will make pacts and dealings, with beings (or attempt to trick them) from beyond their realm in exchange for powers. Love the podcast fellas! ❤
Edit: Happy belated birthday J! I hope you had fun!
A Very Good Podcast 👍🏻, Happy Birthday 🎂 Jonathan 🎉
Happy Birthday J! Thanks For this 😊😊😊❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
If I remember correctly from the Quidditch book, it states in there that brooms are enchanted so they won't have a core.
Another day another chapter! Thanks guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I got here right away. I love this podcast. I can’t wait for you guys to get to the later books.
Look forward every Sunday to this podcast! Love SCB ♥️
I watch on CZcams every week and definitely enjoy the visual aspect of the chapter art segment
one of my fav chapters in the book, definitely my fav podcast so far
This podcast is the only thing that helps me get through the week in order to reach sunday.
I genuinely enjoy your thoughts on the books!! I always listen to your podcast on Sunday mornings while I get ready for work and it always sets the tone for a great day!! Just a steller job guys!!
Thanks guys this is something I can't wait to watch on Sunday's.
Love this chapter :). And really enjoying the podcast series, I look forward to the next episode each week!
No matter how disappointing of a day it is, I like to end my day on a positive note, which is exactly what this podcast become for me...!! It's now part of my daily night time routine..
You guys have no idea just how much I look forward to your podcast..!! Apart from the new episode every Sunday, I keep listening to the other episodes every night while in bed.. Not to sound too dramatic, but personally this feels like waiting for the light at the end of a tunnel..
❤️❤️❤️
"One parent angry; the other parent proud."
Mom hated for Dad to collect scrap wood. She hated the mess. But my sister and I knew he always kept some. So one day we wanted to make a small house for the felt mice we made (they're so cute!), and we were both ready to use hammer and nail and go at it. Dad said, "I have just the perfect thing!" They were 2 wooden crates that had held asparagus, and, attached end to end and stood on side, they made an excellent condo building for our felt mice. Old Fisher Price furniture and scraps from Mom's sewing scrap pile furnished and carpeted it well! There was even a candy tin swimming pool with diving board.
But getting in with one parent while the other disapproved happened on a number of occasions at our house. Dad could be incorrigible. But Mom sometimes wanted to spend more than Dad would want to let go (it didn't hurt much). So each had their great things and their foibles.
Arthur might perform the raids during the night because he enters muggle households while they are sleeping in order to fix the magical items that entered their homes
When you talk about not waking your kids around 14:40 - I can relate so much! We sneak around the apartment like thieves at night so as not to wake our 2-year-old. But when it's time to get up for daycare, the super-loud coffeemaker doesn't get him out of bed... I love that you guys don't just discuss the books and find the most minute details on the way, but that you're so relatable doing it.
Hey, Brother! I just binged the podcast last week, and this is the first episode I'm listening to on release day!
Part of me wants to hear "Hey Brother" when I start this 😂
I'm addicted to this podcast already, please never stop 🖤
Thank you guys for this!
Don’t know if you know but the cover version you guys have are meant to be placed together from book 1-7 and it’s makes a panoramic picture.
50:30 I want an alternate version of the story where Molly and Arthur arrive at the Dursley's to pick up Harry.
I just don't see Molly being nearly as patient and polite with them as Dumbledore was.
🎉love these podcast! Where is this weeks? Is there not one because of Superbowl?
That would be ridiculous 😂… Remember that HP is a global phenomenon, whereas only America cares about the superbowl!
@@davidmarsh3058 agreed but where is today's?
Not sure what you mean …
@@davidmarsh3058chapter 4 should have been out yesterday, but they must have skipped a week.
5:54 I was actually just listening to the podcast and when you guys started talking about the chapter art I switched over to the CZcams video so I could actually look at the chapter/cover art with you guys 🤣
i gotta say this has been amazing to listen to. I mainly listen to it while i game.
Another great episode 😊 love tuning into these each week!
In regards to the Burrow having a name, it’s a Muggle thing too. Farms and sometimes manors tend to have names, like Bowbridge Farm in Fife, Scotland (I’ve been there, got to walk an alpaca!)
I´d really love it if you guys did a J vs. Ben on, is it British or is it from the wizarding world. Maybe you could do it as a collaboration with Seamus he could make up the questions for you. I know he is Irish but I think he would definitively know the right answer to all of the possible questions. 😊
i love ron so much and i love all the weasleys so much and i love how much harry and ron love eachother so much
i pretty much listen to the whole series on a weekly basis. its fun to go back to book two when I'm on chapter 35 of goblet
Just had the thought that warlock, sorcerer, and sorceress could be the equivalent of being knighted in the wizard society.
The chapter art on this one reminds me of the TV intros for shows like Bewitched or I Dream of Jeannie. (starring Doc Hudson from Cars)
Throwback! Love it! 🏈
I love this podcast so much
I attended a small school with 150+ students in the 6th through 12th grades. We were all in one very long hallway with lockers and classrooms off to either side. We knew every student's name even though we may not have spoken to all of them, or knew them each personally.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY J!!! And happy 25k subs to you both
Best episode yet ❤
Ive literally listened to this episode at least 5 times just for secret agents perkins
Guys. You absolutely need to put the seven editions you are reading cover to cover. The artwork on the covers is one continuous mural!
Oh no! Now I’ve caught up and have to wait for future episodes!
I have been loving this Podcast! I’ve been a fan of your channel and you guys are some of the inspiration behind why I started my channel and podcast! Keep up the great work!
That came out way more self-promoting than I want. Genuinely wanted to share that you guys have inspired me if you ever read this!
My post office does what we call Amazon Sundays, where some of the mail carriers have to deliver just Amazon packages on Sundays. I’ve had 1 Sunday off in the last year due to injury, and it’s honestly annoying but MAN, this podcast makes my Sundays so much better ❤
🎉 HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY J🎉
I love how in the intro, there is an annotation written in the book. I LOVE THAT as an Easter egg.
@46 mins in:
Brit here! We often give houses that are larger or stand out in some way a name!
The house on the end of my road has a specific name in honour of its history as an old work house.
Giving a new build a name is now seen as a bit pretentious, but it can happen.
This is a UK thing, not a wizard thing :)
This chapter felt so exciting when I read it as a kid!
Hello y’all! I know I’m (super) late but I was listening on Spotify and had to do this. 🏈
Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication, keep it up!❤
The chapter art made me think of Doc Hudson
I do think Fred/George did use that sarcastic inflexion regarding Dean in the film
⚽
Just started… hoping they mention that Molly could see the signs of starvation and malnutrition but didn’t want to state it, and thus informs her insistence on him eating and sleeping etc.
I was giving a coworker of mine a lift home this morning and my car has Apple CarPlay so we were listening to the last little bit of this episode on the way there. Now he’s going to check it out for himself 😊
Happy late birthday J from the day I watched this episode!!!🎉🎉🎉
49:17 - Ben's laugh is the beeeest!
Hey guys! Love the podcast! Just wanted to let you know, my grandmother lives on a farm in the Midwest and her farm she named herself! She has told me that it’s not incredibly uncommon for someone to name their farm property. Just like the Weasley’s!
Yayyy, that time of the week again 😍🥰
Fine day, Sunday. In my opinion, best day of the week.
Love the podcast!!! I’ve become so addicted, look forward to the eps each week. Couple of ‘British-isms’ that make more sense if you’re from the UK to anyone confused:
Quite common for homes in England to be named as well as numbered, not a just a Wizarding thing!
Also normal for older houses to have fireplaces in every room, although nowadays they will often be blocked. My in laws have a fireplace in nearly every room.
Also, a personal theory I have is that household spells are HARD! Quite a lot of wizards seem to struggle with them, and we know that Mrs Weasley is a very good witch, so she could have studied them more than others. I think you need to have a strong magic to be able to perform them well, and maybe the house elves are particularly skilled in this magic in a way that witches and wizards can’t compete with, kind of similar to centaurs and seeing the future.
Ditto! I was so confused because it didn't have the "premire" preview where you could wait so i was thinking they were going to release it tomorrow😂😭 but no, it's finally here! Love my Sundays now!
