Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we discuss the first classes at Hogwarts to Harry's first Christmas with his new magical life in our version of the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      2:06 Quick recap, and classes begin! Classes are the life of the castle and the core of what it means to be a student at Hogwarts. I want to have a more in-depth view of a class at Hogwarts so we can better understand the everyday life of the students.·      9:56 First flying lesson. This is a pivotal scene. Quidditch symbolizes the good of the castle and the things that Harry is fighting for. It is his safe ground at Hogwarts and the thing he can always rely on. When his Firebolt spins out of the sidecar during his escape from 4 Privet Drive in the Deathly Hallows, it marks the end of his childhood and beginning of his true fight.·      17:58 There’s a troll in the dungeons! With this sequence we see the bond of the trio. Harry and Ron save Hermione from the troll, and Hermione takes the blame from the professors. We also see the lengths Voldemort’s followers are willing to go to defend him which sets up the following he will later gain.·      25:23 The Midnight Duel and the first quidditch match. These two things are related because they set up Snape. We think he’s no good from the beginning, and seeing Fluffy for the first time and then seeing Snape curse Harry’s broom is pretty damning evidence.·      28:30 Christmas. This will finish out the episode. Harry and Ron have their first Christmas together and Harry gets the invisibility cloak which he will use for many years to come. We see the mirror of Erised, which will act as the final shot.  [email protected]
