#99 The Roast of Ickle Diddykins | OOTP 1, Dudley Demented

Potter Revisited Episode #99 The Roast of Ickle Diddykins AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 1 "Dudley Demented" CW: Discussion of Suicide, PTSD We are starting OOTP! And we are almost at 100 Episodes! Tori discusses some OOTP book facts including an alternate death for Sirius and Mr Weasley potentially being killed  Tori and Shay discuss their memories reading this book  Did Taylor Swift write Father Figure for Arthur Weasley? (Note this was recorded before the release of TLOAS) Tori found OOTP a bit hard to relate to at 11 years old but is looking forward to revisiting it as an adult  This is the first book that doesn't overly recap Harry's experiences in the first chapter  Is it a red flag that Dudley doesn't know who the prime minister is?  Sassy Harry is still here and we are so thankful  Mrs Figg is back  Harry being left to deal with the trauma from GOF with little support is hard to read but also more relatable as an adult  Why is Hermione at Headquarters with Ron? Is there a reason besides making Harry more isolated and feeling alone?  Dumbledore really set Harry up to fail in OOTP and we are not letting him off the hook  Harry roasting Dudley is so deserved  Quite exciting for a first chapter to have some action with the dementor attack  What does Dudley see and experience from the dementors?  We end with the reveal that Mrs Figg knows about dementors.... and potentially magic?  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 1: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback  [email protected] Links:  OOTP Facts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Order_of_the_Phoenix https://www.reddit.com/r/HarryPotterBooks/comments/1ixxche/we_published_a_book_about_jk_rowlings_original/ 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
