Harry Potter Begins

from Heads Up. with Jeff and Sean

2017 is the Year of the Wizard, everyone knows that. Yeah, you didn't ask for it, but that's how magic works. Most of this year we're going to be getting into some eldritch magics, examining the questions we all must face at one point or another: what does it mean to be a wizard? We're starting off with some deceptively labeled "children's entertainment" in the form of Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone (the film). Did you know Hagrid labors under an enchantment of mind-control? That Harry Potter is a loaded gun, ready to unload at the slightest provocation? That the Houses of the school are a dystopian method of societal control? We get into some quidditch nonsense too. Join us for some arcanum obscura while we expose the dark designs behind every action in Hogwart's hallowed halls. Welcome to wizard middle school. Hope you have life insurance.
