#35 How Come You’ve Got A Sword? | CoS 17, The Heir of Slytherin

Potter Revisited Episode #34 How Come You've Got A Sword? AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 17 "The Heir of Slytherin" We need a property survey and updated map of Hogwarts that includes all the secret chambers and how far underneath the castle they are The way the chamber is described in the book makes it seem a lot bigger than the film shows - even the statue of Salazar is bigger  Harry does not seem very shocked or concerned that Tom Riddle is there  Tom picks up Harry's wand - which is the brother to his wand. What would of happened if he attempted to use it? "We're in the Chamber of Secrets, we can talk later!" Interesting to think that Hagrid is only a few years younger than Voldemort and they were peers at school Tom Riddle is Voldemort and Voldemort is him - and is very dramatic How does Tom Riddle know so much about Harry when it is after his time? Did Ginny tell him, or is it due to him being a Horcrux and connection to the other bit of soul left in Voldemort? Shay find it hilarious how Tom had to bond with an 11 year old girl, and wonders what they would have talked about Tom Riddle seems a bit more human than Voldemort when discussing his parentage - claiming is changed his name not because he hated Muggles but because his father abandoned him  We reflect on Harry seeing the teenage version of the person who later on grew up to murder his parents Harry is Dumbledore's Man through and through already What kind of magic tethers Fawkes to Dumbledore - how is Fawkes able to know to come to Harry? Voldy is UGLY The description of Fawkes puncturing the Basilisk's eyes is a bit too much for us reading even as adults Dumbledore is very lucky the Sword coming through the sorting hat didn't knock Harry out. Shay loves the silliness of it Interesting to think that Basilisk venom is one of the only ways to destroy and Horcrux, and it ends up piercing Harry We discuss the compulsion Harry had to stab the diary with the fang - was it the Horcrux in him acting to protect itself? We discuss the trauma Ginny has faced this year and how it will impact her going forward Did Ginny think that Percy would turn her in?  Ron's first reaction after seeing that Harry and Ginny are alright is the fact Harry has a sword. Very 12 year old reaction.  Lockhart gets his karma at last Shay discusses what items like the Sword of Gryffindor the other houses could have Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to [email protected] Fill our our Listener Survey here:  https://forms.gle/QFEJNAEtQdzXLSBC7   Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited
