Episode #187: Magic is Muscle

News: Potter top Twitter trend, HBP screening, DH filming update and more. We touch briefly on the SS and CoS Ultimate Edition DVDs. Laura and Mikey give their thoughts on the DH trailer. Muggle Mail includes Harry and the Sorting Hat, petrified people, wizard genetics, and health at Hogwarts. Chapter by Chapter returns with Chamber of Secrets 13-15. Is there a secret to each Chapter 13 in the Potter series? Does Harry have a Horcrux moment when he first encounters Riddle’s diary? Why doesn’t the Trio just present all their findings to the staff instead of getting into more danger? Did Dumbledore sense the presence of a deathly hallow in Hagrid’s hut? And did the governors really believe Hogwarts would be safer without Dumbledore? Also, why is Chapter 14 called Cornelius Fudge? We don’t think it makes much sense! Was Malfoy asking Snape about the headmaster’s position foreshadowing to DH? Were the students really safe being escorted around by professors? We meet Aragog. Hagrid continues to underestimate the danger of certain creatures. Ford Anglia to the rescue! Did it grow a mind of its own? Thanks to everyone who vote for us at the 2009 Podcast Awards!
