Potter Revisited Episode #42 Harry's First Kiss... Almost AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 5 "The Dementor"

Tori is back from her Taylor Swift concert in Tampa and Shay is (a) mad (woman)
Mrs Weasley is telling Ginny and Hermione about the time she made a love potion as a young girl... we discuss our distaste for love potions and how they are so casually described in this series
Mr Weasley is obviously acting as Harry's guard but it doesn't seem to be as annoying to Harry since Mr Weasley treats Harry like one of his own
It's nice seeing Harry and Ginny having a normal moment together - laughing over how Percy is acting with his girlfriend- without Ginny being super embarrassed or shy
Harry's casual reaction to Mr Weasley telling him that Sirius Black has escaped to kill him is fun but also sad seeing as it's Harry's normal at this point
Why did no one think to tell Harry about his parents relationship with Sirius Black? Obviously it would of come out or he would of been able to find out on his own at some point - wouldn't of it have been better to here the truth (or what was thought the truth) from someone rather than gossip or rumours?
Tori feels bad for Ginny being told to leave by Ron - How must Ginny be feeling coming back to school after her first year?
The Trios train compartment has an extra guest - Remus Lupin. Why did he decide to ride the train? Was it for nostalgia or something else?
Is Lupin really sleeping the whole time? Shay confirms the full moon was one day away when they were on the train
The Sneakoscope Ron got Harry starts going off when in the train - is this foreshadowing to Scabbers being Peter Pettigrew or something else?
You can't help feel bad for Harry when Ron and Hermione are talking about Hogsmede - why did they assume he'd be able to go?
Tori fully understands Hermione's love for Crookshanks being a cat mom herself but Hermione isn't really being a responsibly pet owner by not taking Ron's concerns seriously
Shay brings up the point that maybe 13 is too young to be a solo pet owner
Why does Malfoy start every year antagonizing Harry on the train? What kind of validation does he get from it?
Ron is very enraged by Malfoy - more so than previous books. Is this just due to his age, or could it be from what the Malfoy's put Ginny through last year?
It seems very negligent of the Ministry to allow the Dementors to do whatever they want - they boarded the train full of young students and few staff who had no idea what was going on
Shay agrees the train probably should have been search before they boarded or left the station but not by dementors
When the Dementor comes into Harry's compartment he has a very bad reaction and ends up passing out - what would of happened if Lupin was not with him? From what Ron and Hermione tell him afterwords, Lupin had to force the Dementor to leave
It is pretty sweet that Ginny comes looking for Ron when she's scared by what is going on - we discuss her relationship with the Twins and Percy and why Ron is the best choice
Ginny also had a bad reaction to the Dementor - we discuss what reliving that trauma must of been like
What must it been like for Lupin to see Harry after so long, especially as he looks so much like James?
Harry seems surprised that Lupin knew who he was - is this foreshadowing that Lupin is going to be more than a DADA teacher?
Some foreshadowing to the Thestrals as Harry describes the school carriages being pulled by "invisible horses"
We both empathize with Harry being embarrassed about fainting - both of us have fainted in public situations including the same building we used to work
Harry's reaction to McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey showing concern over him is very relatable - he is more worried by what others will think than his health
Lupin has Pomfrey's seal of approval - we wonder if they have a close bond due to how much time Lupin would have spent in the hospital wing while at school
We know that this meeting with McGonagall is where Hermione receives her timeturner and it just feels so negligent that this would need to be approved by so many people and no one seemed to be looking out for Hermione and her mental wellbeing
It would have been more beneficial to Hermione to learn how to prioritize and pick the classes she really wanted to take
Tori wonders if Hermione is the first one to use a Time Turner for classes, and Shay theorizes that Bill and Percy must have had to as well to get the number of OWLs they did
Lupin is announced as DADA teacher and Snape is not happy
Shay feels for Snape has it has to suck having your childhood bully get the job you have always wanted and also moving into your home
Dumbledore really caused all this trouble with Snape and Lupin - Snape was just holding in all this resentment it's no wonder it bursts at the end of the book
Why does it seem like Dumbledore is putting Snape through all these weird tests, just seeing how far he can push him?
Hagrid is made CoMC Teacher - is he actually qualified? What makes a teacher qualified to teach?
Dumbledore only really has staff that have a purpose for him (or Harry) so was Hagrid promoted because of how loyal he is?
We discuss Dementors and the concept of having them at a school full of vulnerable children
