This fandom loves shipping! Especially in these last chapters, it seemed to me that there was some indication - dare I say it? - of something going on between Harry and Hermione.

We've talked a great deal about Professor Lupin on this episode, and we brought up the fact that rather little is known about his backstory. Lupin's old briefcase seems potentially significant, in the scene where we first meet him, as it may mean that he has been teaching for a while now.

Here's the Question of the Week from our second episode analyzing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!

Our question is this - what are the expenses of Wizarding travel? Could a lot of this money actually go to traveling from the UK to Egypt? And as the magical community travels about the world, what sort of international guidelines might they have to follow when traveling into other countries?

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as you all know, is much about Harry's going back and forth with the Sorting Hat over his Sorting into Gryffindor instead of Slytherin. As we know this idea about nature versus choice as far as Sorting goes is one of the biggest questions in the series. Our question is this - why now?

Our question for all you listeners out there is this - does the description of Myrtle's returning as a ghost, instead of passing on, go against Rowling's explanation for why most other witches and wizards become ghosts (an unwillingness or fear of moving on)?

Our question for all you listeners out there is this - why is it that the Diary Horcrux is so much more powerful than its brethren (the other Horcruxes)?

Episode 15 is about to come out - and what an episode it is! It's long and filled with a great many discussion questions. Here's our very exciting posed question of the week!
