JK Rowling created a very detailed and well-plotted story. Yet how come Hogwarts' students miss out on traditional problem solving and critical thinking lessons? Are most wizards idiots? Jada an officer of Geek Girl Brunch and Julia of our future Lost rewatch podcast episodes suggested we discuss more philosophical issues in Harry Potter. Like how the media works in the wizarding world and what aspects of the muggle world do Wizards actually care about and/or get involved in. This has been one of my favorite Potterweek records so far.

Relationships in Harry Potter and fun and frustrating. Ginny and Harry make sense on paper, but some people can't stand their pairing. Lily and James together is confusing, but is Lily and Snape any better?
On this fourth Potterweek episode of 2016, I'm joined by Alice aka Kangaru on the interwebs and Kayla of Epicfied from all over the net. Both ladies suggested discussing the romantic relationships in Harry Potter, that they cannot stand!
Which Relationships in Harry Potter Bonus: Stay tuned after the show for an extra bit about the Ilvermony houses on Pottermore.

You know that family member you don't get along with? They've got nothing on the Dursleys. Imagine for yourself two humans who show absolutely no love towards an orphaned infant. On this #Potterweek episode, our guest co-host Kris of No Added Words, suggested we discuss Harry Potter's aunt and uncle. It's our third episode of the week because, in book 3, Aunt Marge's presence shows us a slightly different shade (of purple) of Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia.
Listen in!

Oh, Hermione. We've definitely known a Hermione in our lives. We may even be one. Did Hermione ever grow up from being a know-it-all? Is that something she needs you to grow up from? Join me and my guest host, Amanda of Great Beer Adventure as we chat about our favorite girlboss and the brightest witch of her age.

What happens when you have a Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff rewatch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone? For starters, a whole lot of different opinions about the Weasleys. So how does this work? Simply have you movie ready to press play at around 16-22 seconds. When we say press play, you should be right about where the Privet Drive sign is shown. You may be off a few seconds, but that won't be a problem. (Editor's note: Shout out to our podcast intern, Kristen, who not only edited this LONG Sorcerer's Stone movie commentary episode, but wrote the show notes as well. Check her out on YouTube!) Listen as Katie (Elhoffer Design), Megan (The Nerdy Girlie), and Hadas rewatch the first of the Harry Potter films.
What did you think of Sorcerer's Stone? Check out Megan discussing Military Brat life and blogging on our International Women's Month episode (also featuring Jamilla of Geek Girl Brunch, Straight Outta Gotham, and more). Check out Katie in her two-parter guest spot on the show discussing her creations, fandoms, and nerd life (part 1 and 2).
