#45 Teatime With Lupin | PoA 8, The Flight of the Fat Lady

Potter Revisited Episode #45 Teatime With Lupin AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 8 "The Flight of the Fat Lady" Everyone loves Lupin and DADA and we do too! Lupin seems like a great teacher Of Course the only ones that don't like Lupin are Malfoy & Co - is it only because he is obviously poor?  Snape, meanwhile is still taking out his feelings about Lupin on the students, especially Neville - +1 Snape Sucks  Shay thinks she would be like Parvarti and Lavender and visiting Trelawney at Lunch Harry really doesn't like Divination this early on - why doesn't he drop it and take something else? Oliver gives a Rudy-style pep talk to the team - it's his last chance to win the Quidditch cup before he graduates Ron mentions Scabbers is in his bag, and then Crookshanks attacks - the whole chance scene is very amusing to picture  Is Ron more mad at Hermione because of Crookshanks or that she won't take him seriously?  Is Hermione a good pet owner? Why isn't she controlling Crookshanks more?  The Trio see Lavender crying before class - she just got news her bunny died. She believes the prediction Trelawney made is real since it's the 16th of October Hermione tries to disprove the prediction could be real with logic, ignoring the fact that Lavender's pet is dead - why does Hermione always do this? Shay points out this could be the beginning of Lavender's crush on Ron, as he tells off Hermione in front of her. Tori, a Ron/Hermione shipper, isn't sure  Ron convinces Harry to ask McGonagall for permission to go to Hogsmede - and she obviously says no since it's against the rules  Dean had offered to forge Vernon's signature - why didn't Harry do this before going to McGonagall? Tori tells a story about the time she forged her Mom's signature in Grade 4 to avoid missing recess  Shay wonders if they keep the parents signature on file and would be able to detect a forgery by magic  Harry is missing out on Hogsmede and we feel bad - Percy does a terrible job at trying to cheer him up Lupin sees Harry walking around alone & invites him in for tea - we would love to have tea with Lupin! Harry figures out why Lupin stopped him from confronting the Dementor - he thought it would be Voldemort Snape comes to bring Lupin a potion - we discuss him seeing Lupin and Harry together in the office and imagining Lupin and James  Shay discusses the way Lupin speaks about Snape to Harry, which is very complimentary. Harry trying to convince Lupin that Snape is bad and likely poisoned the potion is funny, considering Lupin and Snape grew up together at school  How Ron and Hermione describe Hogsmede to Harry very much shows their interest - The first thing Hermione brings up is the post office and how it is organized by a colour coded system, and Ron brings up Honeydukes and all the sweets This is our first time fully seeing a Hogwarts Halloween feast as events have always prevented it - The Ghosts provide entertainment with Synchronized gliding and Nick reenacts his death - were Ghosts always the entertainment or is this new?  We discuss the twist ending - The Fat Lady has fled her frame, which has been slashed up. Sirius Black tried to break into Gryffindor tower How did Dumbledore appear on the scene so fast?  Shay wonders why Lupin didn't do anything - didn't say anything to Dumbledore regarding Sirius  It's interesting how Peeves speaks to Dumbledore compared to other professors  Snape Sucks total for Chapter 8: 1 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
