The Fox and the Foxhound: Love, Marriage, and Harry Potter

This week, we're talking about the Wizarding World's Justice System (and we use the term "System" loosely). Does the Ministry literally ever get it right? How the HELL do people get appointment to the Wizengamot? And did the Hamburgler ever have a hamburger for a head? Join us for the answers to these very important questions, and more- DUN DUN. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

Welcome to Season 13 Foxies! We're kicking it off the only way we know how- with dudes. That's right, we're back to All the Young Dudes and covering chapters 112-114. It's time for apparition lessons, Remus finally opening the FREAKING BOX, and an absolute banger of an admission. Plus, Badman vs Batman?, Michael J. Fox continues to occupy Kev's thoughts, and things going from Remus's lips to Cookie Monster Greyback's ears (god help us). Lucky 13 here we come! Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

We're finishing up Season 12 with some wacky imaginings- HP characters as pro wrestlers, toy lines, themed holiday decorating, and everything in between! Plus, Amanda is beefing with the entire state of Ohio, a shared Patronus moment involving the weirdest thing a child has ever said to her parents, and horse pants (because it's not FFH without horse pants). We'll be back for lucky Season 13 on September 8th! Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

Those cheeky young dudes are back to their antics and we're back to discuss them! This week, we're covering chapters 109-111 of All the Young Dudes and it has us dissecting Dumbledore The Birthday Ruiner, getting teary (and a bit worried) over a very sweet gift, and unfortunately giving a ridiculous new voice and persona to a well-established character. See ya in there! Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

Taste that salt in the air? That's right, it's time for another of Amanda's Salty Chaps- this time, we're lamenting the greatness of 'The Other Minister' and its quite frankly criminal omission from the screen (thus far anyway). We're talking UK vs US politics, Avatar Aang, and Kev's usual shoehorning of a theme from The Neverending Story.

This week, we're gleefully reuniting with our beloved Young Dudes as we cover chapters 106-108 of the fanfic to end all fanfics. We're talking Sirius and Remus being back on their bullsh*t, the absolute legend that is Mary, and Norm MacDonald. We'll see ya in there. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

Guess who's baaaaack??? It's us (hiiiii). We've returned from our hiatus and what better way to celebrate than to turn our focus to that ol' party animal Percival (middle name redacted) Weasley? Did that textbook middle child really get a fair representation in the series? What is the narrative purpose of the series of events surrounding Percy's return in Book 7? And which Wilson is headed to an ashram? Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week we're back with the Dudes of 'yore covering chapters 103-105 of 'All the Young Dudes' (though one of the Wilsons accidentally read ahead- spoiler alert it was Kev). We continue to feel very aligned with Remus in how confused we are by Sirius, spend some time takling TapeBall strategy, bite our nails through some serious werewolf developments, and revisit Kev's favorite carnival gaffe. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

A brand new recurring theme kicks off this week with the inagural installment of 'Amanda's Sweet Treats'- chapters that we think are represented well in the corresponding movie, and kicking things off is Book 4's 'Priori Incantatum'. We're comparing page to screen and finding the moments that just WORK in David Yates' HP film debut, airing a few Cedric Diggory grievances, and inexplicably singing some Christmas songs.Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

Not only has a trailer dropped, but HBO Max has also released the 30-minute 'Finding Harry' featurette, so of course The Wilsons simply must share their thoughts and opinions about it. Join us to find out what we're excited about, what worries us, and why we feel so dang conflicted about the whole shebang. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week we're talking dudes: not just All the Young ones, but also Kev's famous music man-wives. Things are getting spicy in the Marauder circle and we're balancing how here for it we are with how much we want to protect our fave little lycanthrope. Plus: loyalty, having a castle to yourself at Christmas, and our rapid self-distancing from Peter. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week we're dipping our toes into the Inferi-infested waters of life and death philosophy- but with magic! How does the Wizarding World treat death? Does magical peoples' ability to see dead loved ones via portraits or the Mirror of Erised make them luckier than muggles or more tortured?

We're finally healthy and (mostly) sane, and what better way to triumphantly return than with a discussion about Regulus Black and Kreacher's Tale! We're dissecting, debating, and just generally getting devastated by RAB's sacrifice and Kreacher's subsequent misery. Plus- colonoscopy PSAs! Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

We're back with the DUDES, and good lord there's lots of drama up in here. We're taking Sirius Black to court, giving Marlene her moment in the sun, swooning once again over Madame Pomfrey, and extolling the white trash virtues of Myrtle Beach, SC. We'll see you in there Foxies. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

We're back with those wee lil' cheeky blokes this week as we work our way through chapters 94-96 of All the Young Dudes. Some Hamilton-level forgiveness, some harsh truths from ol' Mad-Eye Moody, and Sirius can't seem to stop wistfully staring at our fave lycanthrope. Plus- what chess may tell us about Peter, the return of Professor Hot Stuff (at least in passing), and Don Henley! Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

Did you just get a hint of salt on your tongue? It's probably because the time has come for another one of Amanda's Salty Chaps, this time Book 7's "The Bribe". We're taking sides in Lupin vs Harry, lamenting the tragedy that is Regulus Black, and drawing parallels between Death Eaters infiltrating the media and the...well, state of things in the real world.

This week, it’s the moment in All The Young Dudes that we knew was coming and is just as rough as we anticipated: the Snape-almost-eats-it-or-should-we-say-almost-gets-eaten prank. It’s the immediate aftermath, Remus is in an emotional maelstrom and rapidly being drawn back into his isolated and surly ways, and your hosts are processing an especially awful political landscape.

It’s time for another deep dive, and this time the honor goes to the ultimate enemies-to-lovers arc of the entire series: James Potter and Lily Evans. We’re exploring what we know about them canonically as well as the ways in which they continue to haunt so many of the series’ core characters. Plus: cocky rich kids we went to school with, our beef with dragonpox, and George Clooney.Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week, Amanda’s back on her salty chap sh*t and presenting Book 5’s “The Department of Mysteries” for discussion. We’re drawing all kinds of existential metaphors from the myriad rooms of this godforsaken magic government office, disparaging mall security officers, and asking for cleanup on aisle 97. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week, it’s a long-overdue return to our favorite foursome as we cover All the Young Dudes chapters 88-90. Things are getting tense, teenagers are really teenagering, and the Snape feud is reaching new levels of intensity. Also, we’re talking about the Venn diagram that is a circle of how Remus, Harry, and Amanda deal with people making a fuss over them, poor little Christopher and his pining, and Kev is having ‘Nam flashbacks. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

We’re back and hoping you haven’t forgotten our existence! For our triumphant(?) return after a couple of choatic weeks, we’re discussing the shops and businesses of Harry Potter’s magical world. Which shops do we wish we could actually visit? What are the real-world store parallels we see? And, perhaps most importantly, which of these illustrious storefronts are almost certainly galleon-laundering operations?Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

We’ve returned from our one-week Thanksgiving hiatus, back hanging with our favorite Young Dudes, and these three chapters do NOT disappoint. We’re talking broom cupboards, the ol’ Hufflepuff behind-the-greenhouse special, and Kev’s weird disdain from bomb-sniffing dogs. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

This week, we’re bringing you another of Amanda’s Fave Chaps (rebranding to Salty Chaps pending) and revisiting the beloved “Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs” from Prisoner of Azkaban. We're drawing all kinds of parallels to our ATYD journey, working through Kev's renewed shock about the prank that almost killed Snape, and somehow talking a LOT about Dumbledore in a chapter in which he doesn't even appear. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

Well we’re apparently not done yappin’ just yet, since we’re bringing you another weirdly-long episode. This time, we’re rounding up recent news from the Wizarding World.

Join us as we extol the virtues of British name-calling, reminisce about our collective Doc Martens history, and genuinely wonder why prefects are not seen as narcs. Support the showSupport FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhoundFollow us!IG: @thefoxandthefoxhoundTikTok: @thefoxandthefoxhound

Join us this week as we don our best handmade ‘A’ and ‘K’ sweaters, cast a couple of housework spells, and get cozy at The Burrow- that’s right, it’s the deep dive of The Weasleys! What do the Weasleys have in spades, even though their Gringotts vault is bare? What are the Weasleys’ shining moments (and their not-so-great ones)? And why are we feeling sorry for Ron?

We’re back with a brand new season and feeling a bit revolutionary- so we’re discussing the first, premiere, OG Order of the Phoenix. What would the original Order’s chances of victory have been had the whole “Lily’s sacrifice rebound curse” thing never happened (probably not great let’s be honest)? What subtle advantage did the Death Eaters have?

We’ve missed our lil’ Marauders way too much, so it’s high time we return to the Wizarding World of the 1970s and the monolith fanfiction that is ‘All the Young Dudes’. Believe us when we say, these three chapters were a DOOZY of a read. While we would love to justify the length of this episode by saying these chapters simply lead to that much discussion, there are in fact many tangents (so out of character for us).
