#46 Safety Second, Quidditch First | PoA 9, Grim Defeat

Potter Revisited Episode #46 Safety Second, Quidditch First AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 9 "Grim Defeat" This chapter really shows how much Hogwarts values students safety The students are having a slumber party in the Great Hall which Shay loves Percy gets a little bit of authority and ruins everyones fun Ron and Hermione mention what a coincidence it is that Sirius broke in on Halloween when they weren't in the common room - potential foreshadowing?  The beginning of Hermione being the only one to read Hogwarts: A History Apparently Flitch can restore paintings and portraits  Harry eavesdrops on Dumbledore and Snape - Snape is trying to bring up his theory that Lupin is helping Sirius  Is Dumbledore too trusting? Tori and Shay discuss Sir Cadogan is the new portrait for Gryffindor Tower which is chaotic  Lots of students have different theories on how Sirius broke in - Hannah's about the shrub is probably the closest  Harry notices teachers are paying more attention to him after the break in - even Percy is checking in Did Percy know why he was checking in on Harry?  McGonagall is the only true adult in this series, checking in on Harry and letting him know what is actually happening  Is so fun seeing McGonagall throw common sense away for a Quidditch win  We get our first reference to Cedric Diggory - Fred and George seem jealous of the attention he gets  Even if real Quidditch games play during all types of weather and events, shouldn't a school inter-house league be treated differently? Where are the safety precautions for students?  Is magic able to control the weather at all? Snape is covering Lupin for DADA - let the games begin  Is Snape trying to imply that Lupin isn't really ill? Did he only cover Lupin's class to insult Lupin to the students? Supply Teachers going against the current curriculum set by the teacher is so stressful  Shay loves how snarky Snape is, and brings up the point it is probably good to have students learning about Werewolves if one is going to be at the school +1 Snape Sucks for insulting Hermione in front of the entire class We discuss Ron defending Hermione VS how it is changed in the film Snape sets an essay on how to recognize Werewolves and Kill them - is he wanting to kill Lupin? Do wizards actually kill Werewolves?  Lots of foreshadowing to Lupin and Snape's past Crookshanks tries to sneak into the Boys' dorm when Harry is leaving for Quidditch - why isn't Hermione keeping a better eye on him?  It is storming so bad during the Quidditch game Harry can't see through his glasses - Hermione comes eventually with a charm to repel the rain - why didn't Oliver or any of the older students know to do this?  When the dementors storm the field, Harry hears his mother begging for his life which is so heartbreaking  This whole episode with Harry is crazy as all his friend and team thought he had died - yet all he asks when he wakes up is who won the match  We get a little bit of Cedric's character as he was trying to call for a rematch when he saw Harry had fallen off his broom due to the Dementors Harry gets double bad news when finding out his broom had been destroyed by the Whomping Willow - RIP Nimbus 2000 The broom was obviously sentimental to Harry but why does he wait so long to order a new broom?  How much do brooms actually cost in Muggle currency?  Snape Sucks total for Chapter 9: 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
