Welcome! This is the final podcast for our Harry Potter blog series. It has been a fun ride. Hope you enjoy this podcast. Warning: Coffee drinking and dog barking will happen.
Harry With a Thousand Faces
I can't believe it's over! Throughout this entire series, I've been excitedly comparing Harry Potter to all my favorite Greek and Roman stories. I freak out at all the Latin names and Classical references (The Hogwarts professor Sybil Trelawney, whose ancestor's name is Cassandra? Both prophetesses/oracles from the ancient world? Genius!) and love comparing Harry to epic characters.… Continue reading Harry With a Thousand Faces
How it All Began and Ended with Harry
When Camille asked me to complete the Harry Potter series with her this past June I honestly was hesitant because of work and graduate school, but I FINISHED. I believe that reading this series taught me a great deal about myself because Harry allowed me to escape so much of the reality I deal with… Continue reading How it All Began and Ended with Harry
Whose Story is This?
Hello from Hogwarts! I finished the Half Blood Prince a few weeks ago, and it's earned a spot in my top three favorites of the series so far. After all the intense drama in The Order of the Phoenix, this book's minor mysteries (What's Malfoy up to? Does Felix juice actually work? Who's the Half Blood Prince?) were… Continue reading Whose Story is This?
W.W.H.D
I recently finished the Half Blood Prince and loved it. I however did not like the fact that one of the greatest characters was killed, Dumdledore. My title pertains to the simple thing I have been asking myself: What would Harry do? Yes, it is probably cliché and people might have thought of it before,… Continue reading W.W.H.D
Harry Who?
Finishing Order of the Phoenix, I am angry. I know I generally write about the book as a whole, but the defining moment for me in the whole book was not when Harry shouted at Umbridge about teaching them basic magic, or Ron being the “King” at quidditch, or when Hermione showed Umbridge the “weapon.”… Continue reading Harry Who?

Breaking News: 20-something Agonizes over Prophecy that Everyone Else Has Known about for Over a Decade Pretty much the headline of my week. After finishing Order of the Phoenix, I've been telling everyone I know about the cryptic, yet all-too-clear prophecy "Neither can live while the other survives." Professor Trelawney was right all along. If Harry… Continue reading Extra Extra

Three Possible Fathers
Hey folks, I'm halfway through Order of the Phoenix and thriving. Still reading on the subway every morning, misreading "Nevins Street" as "Neville Street" on the 2 train, and constantly wondering which house I'd actually be sorted in. Things are getting intense for Harry right now-- no one believes he saw Voldemort, Umbridge is taking… Continue reading Three Possible Fathers
Ughhhhh
I’m mad at everyone who associates with Harry right now. That is my first thought when writing this blog. I am not done with the fifth book but halfway done. Several things: Hilarious when Luna told Harry he was just as “sane” as her. Ron and Hermione are prefects but not Harry? Sirius is hiding… Continue reading Ughhhhh
