Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Book four, page three hundred and fifty eight. May I
have your attention? Please? May I have your attention? Please? Well,
the Real Weird Sisters please stand up. We're gonna have
a problem here were the Weird Sisters? Were the real
Weird Sisters?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
All you are?

Speaker 1 (00:21):
The Weird Sisters are fine? Then the Vakers, Well, the
real Weird Sisters, please stand up, please stand up, Please
stand up. Hi, and welcome to the Real Weird Sisters.
I'm Martha and I'm Alice, and today we're here to
talk about the three hundred and fifty eighth page of
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I'm very excited
to get right back into another one page at a

(00:42):
time here. And the most exciting thing which we're gonna
be getting to later this episode, is that can you
hear this?

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I hear something rattling.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I have possibly be I have some real dice now. So,
after a few weeks of using the virtual dice and
getting frustrated with their, uh perhaps not always being consistent
with I don't know probability, we have real dice now,
and you can only blame the real dice if we
need to.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
So you've got which kinds do you have?

Speaker 1 (01:16):
So here's what I have. I have first the D
seven because i'll roll that to find out which book.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, yes, wait, there's eight books though, what about the
Curse Child?

Speaker 1 (01:27):
That is a funny joke. Okay, seven, I roll the
D seven. Now if I roll one or two, I
have a three sided die. Now it's not really a
three sided die, but it has one, two, and three.
It has each of those twice, so to D three,
I guess, so I would be able to.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Get I'm sorry, what about the single digit pages?

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Oh yes, okay, that's a good point. So then I
will roll the four sided die and four will count
a zero. Okay, okay, yes, that's a good point. Thank
you for that reminder. So one okay, good call, good call.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
I mean there's only you know, a few uh page
right double digits.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
But you know, yeah, that's a good call. So now
I have to think about that. So I will roll
the four sided die for books one and two or
four will count in place of zero. Then I have two. Well,
I only have one D ten, but i'll roll that
one twice and it's actually it's perfect because the TED
is actually a zero on this so it'll count as yeah. Yeah,

(02:30):
and then so for book three I will roll the
five sided die and five will count as zero, right,
is that making sense?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah? Well, just book three go into the four hundreds.
I think it only goes into three hundreds.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
We did. We did a four hundred page two weeks
ago from book three. Yes, oh okay, four hundred thirty one.
I think it has like four hundred thirty five pages total.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I always forget how long that is.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, four hundred and thirty five pages. So the five
sided die will be rolled for book three, and then
the d ten again twice, and then for book four
it goes up to the seven hundreds. Which is that
the same for seven or for six as well? I
think that, Well, we figure it out to go but

(03:15):
oh my.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Gosh, Tim is so bored right now.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Tim's not listening, so we're fine.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, well that was the joke too, Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
The point is we have real dice, and they are
kind of a light real dice color twice as nice.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, yeah, you think you need to post a picture
on the real weird Instagram for kind of sad.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I like ice lovers. I liked this d three that
I have, but I'm not going to get to use
it now.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
No, that wouldn't be fair to the pages one through
ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's cool because it's Roman numerals instead of numbers. That
is cool. Yeah, it's really special.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay, Well, thank you for the update, Martha. And I
think the the Dice purists.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Out there are going to be very happy that you're
not using I think so there's a lot of Dice purists.
There's a lot of Dice purists out.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
There who've been uh shaking their fists for the last
few months.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
So well, yeah, they love to shake their fists and
then roll the die. Okay, so we're gonna jump right
into talking about our housekeeping. I won't come back later
then because we've got some banned album name updates. It
was a close race for the album name of the
Week last week. We'll just jump right into the band
name because that was a pretty clear winner Many Moving

(04:31):
faces forty two percent of the vote. Twenty twenty people
voted for that one, and I think that's a good,
good call. I was a little disappointed in how few votes.
Huge fan got only four votes for a huge day.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
You were a way bigger. You were a huge fan
of that name. Comparatively, like, I didn't really get why
you were so into that one.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Well, I think it's funny, Like you know, you're a
huge fan of like I don't know, Yeah, I'm a
huge fan of huge fans.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
It definitely seems like kind of one of those more
I mean, I know, we like to spend a lot
of time analyzing what genre of music they would be,
but like it seems like a very like something that
you would end up listening to because you like that
kind of like wink wink, nudge nudge humor from the
I think, and you think I.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Like it more than I do. I think it's more
so just it would be an ironic name. I don't
necessarily think I would listen to it that much, but
I think it's funny, so okay, Yeah, just to clear
up all the other votes, Gladys Gudgeon was our runner
up with fifteen votes thirty one percent of the vote.
That's my personal favorite. I know Light Dance got nineteen percent,

(05:39):
So Many Moving Faces was moving on. I kind of
feel like Many Moving Faces might actually be more so
like a cold Play type like yeah, I sort of too, yeah,
sort of rock, but like a slower rock. Yeah, yeah
for sure. Okay, and then we had a a very

(06:00):
tight race. It was down to two votes for our
album Name of the Week. And I think that this
would be very two very different genres. So, I mean,
one of them I think was probably gonna be metal
and the other one more likely like a punk or something.
So with forty one percent of the vote, our winner
was a Voice to Chill the Bone Marrow.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I think that's the metal album that would have been
sung by Gladys Gudgeon.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, I think Voice to Chill then Bone Marrow could
also maybe be like a new age and yet type music.
I know we said that for another one last week,
but right I could see that being like sort of us,
you know, like somebody with a really like high voice,
but it's not necessarily metal. It's more so like new age,

(06:47):
like I said. And then our our runner up was
with thirty seven percent of the vote, the thousandth envelope.
I think that's probably more likely going to be a
cold Play type band singing yeah, or like that.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
One would go with many that could go with many
Moving Faces.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, exactly. I think. Actually I'm gonna amend what I
said about many Moving Faces not Coldplay, so much as
death Cab for Cutie. I think that's the vibe I
was looking for.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, I could see it.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
So all right, So let's jump right in now. Six
minutes later into talking about this page page three hundred
and fifty eight of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
It's been a pretty long time since we actually recorded
last week's episode, so I don't remember what we predicted
this would be. I think we were off, though. I
don't think we said it was going to be at

(07:35):
the end of the first Task. No, I think we
had said like second task or the.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Mule Ball, didn't.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
I think that's kind of what I was thinking as well,
because it's right in the middle of the book, and
I guess we were joking about them not getting to
Hogwarts so late until so late, and we should have
thought about that more that Like, yes, of course, the
first task is about halfway through the book.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
That is kind of crazy though, that it's literally a
halfway through the book until we're actually starting the tournament.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, that is. This is pretty crazy. So, yeah, this
is from the chapter the first TSK and First TOSK
the first TSK, and it's actually pretty much the end
of the chapter because there's well, I guess four pages
left of the chapter. It ends on page three sixty two. Yes,

(08:20):
before we even read the page. And I know we're
not into the WWGPD of the week yet, but this
was one of her throwaway chapter arts for the first task.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
No, I didn't go look at it. Let me look.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
It's on page three thirty seven. It has nothing to
do with the first task. I'm actually struggling to remember
what this has to do with.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
I don't know either.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's a picture of two hands that I have to say.
The two hands look misshapen too, especially.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
The one on the right, well lower, It's not so
much misshapen to me. It's just that they don't look
like they're from the same because they kind of look
like they're both facing the same way, or well, one.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Of them looks like, yeah, they look like they're the
same hand, and one of them's upside down and one
of them's right side up. I don't think that's the case.
And it's throwing a book in the air.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, so I'm trying to think what I mean, Is.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
It like Harry practicing things for the task, or well.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
He's not I guess, yeah, he's achioing, but yeah, that
must be what it is. I mean I looked at
the next page and it does show Harry was throwing
aside men who love dragons too much.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
So maybe that's what's happening here. I'm throwing aside men
people look dragons. I don't know very I agree with
what you said about this being, you know, phoning it
in a little bit.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Well, when you look back at chapter twenty or sorry,
this is chapter twenty, and you look back at chapter
nineteen's art and chapter eighteen, she really had to do
a lot of detail on those two. Those are the
pictures of the Hungarian horntail and the picture of Rita Skeeter.
So she was really her arm was probably really tired
after doing those two pictures. So she's like, what's an
easy thing? Oh, it says he throws away men who

(10:02):
love dragons too much here, So I'll just do a
picture of two hams throwing away a book. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
I think it's supposed to be the achio thing, like
you said, right, but it's weird because it's like, wouldn't
there be a wand in one.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Of the hands. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
Akio is not supposed to be like a you're playing
catch type of thing. I don't think Mary cran Pray
quite knew what she was doing with that picture. I suppose, well, yeah,
that's a given. I suppose it could be like it.
I guess it's the book is getting flung out of
somebody's hands because it's being summoned to the summoner.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Okay, luckily the way she depicted it, it could be
lots of different things.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah. Well, the other thing is that it's kind of
on the author a little bit, that there's all this
build up to the actual first task that at the
beginning of this chapter, the first task, Carrie still doesn't
know what he's doing with the dragon, so he has
to figure out what to do and it actually happens,
and what happens on this page also happens all in
one chapter.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, it's quite a fairly long chapter.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah it is, Maarren.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
We used to talk about like twenty to thirty pages,
and now we can only talk about one page at
a time.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yes, this is the curse we are bound to follow.
All right, let's go ahead and get our best Jim
Dale voices on this is a nice split. I think
of characters and narrations. So we're both gonna be doing
our job on this page, and you're gonna start us
off as whenever you're ready, page three hundred and fifty eight.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
She bustled out of the tent, and he heard her
go next door and say.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
How does it feel loud degree.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Harry didn't want to sit still, he was he was
too full of adrenaline. He got to his feet, wanting
to see what was going on outside, But before he'd
reached the mouth of the tent, two people had come
darting inside. Hermione followed closely by Ron.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Harry, you were brilliant.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Hermione said, squeakily. There were fingernail marks on her face
where she had been clutching it in.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
You were basic, you really were.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
But Harry was looking at Ron, who was very white
and staring at Harry as though he were a ghost. Harry,
he said, very seriously, whoever put your name in that goblet?

Speaker 1 (12:16):
I reckon, they're trying to do you in.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
It was as though the last few weeks had never happened,
as though Harry were meeting Ron for the first time,
right after he'd been made champion caught on, have you said,
Harry coldly?

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Took you long enough her mind?

Speaker 2 (12:34):
He stood nervously between them, looking from one to the other.
Ron opened his mouth uncertainly. Harry knew Ron was about
to apologize, and suddenly he found he didn't.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Need to hear it. It's okay, he.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Said, before Ron could get the words out.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Forget it, No, said Ron. I shouldn't have forget it,
Harry said.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Ron grinned nervously at him, and Harry grinned back her mind.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
He burst into tears.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
It's nothing to cry about.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Harry told her.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Bewildered, you two are so stupid.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
She shouted, stamping her foot on.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
The Okay, well, that really put us through our paces
this week. That was quite the page. It's definitely one
that we've talked about a lot on the podcast because
it's one of the first times that Ron tries to
apologize and Harry kind of shut some down astras right,
because he's right when he's about to make some growth.

(13:37):
Harry's like, Nope, you don't need to no.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Need to apologize. I'd rather that you don't make this
progress for yourself, right.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I'd rather you stay, Harry said, Yeah, he found he
didn't need to hear it.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Alice needed to practice saying the words right.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
It's not really about you anymore, Harry. Maybe it's important
for Rod to actually go through the pace. Is here?
What thing? I thought you did a great job, Alice
with your Jim Dale, but I did wonder do you
think do you think that Jim Dale says a dreanaline?
I feel like I've heard. I feel like I've heard
British I've heard British narrators of audiobooks definitely say a

(14:15):
drenalin instead of adrenaline.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I don't remember that specifically from Jim Dale. I wouldn't
be surprised, but I feel like that might have been
something that would have stood out to me.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah, it's funny. I feel like there's certain like ease
and e's that like get flipped and it's not necessarily
it's always in an American English, and like, for instance,
I'm thinking of like xenophobia. I feel like in British
English or British narrators, i'll hear xenophobia. Yeah, and then yeah,
adrenaline a dreamaline. I don't know. Yeah, Alice listens to

(14:49):
a lot of rue Paul so she probably has one
shot of adrenaline stuck in her head and that's why
she said it the American way.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, I don't know. I really actually should probably go
and do a re listen to the Sullies just to
kind of get Jim Dale's quirks a little bit more
like absorbed into my impression. But yeah, let's put it
this way. I don't think it would get any better
if you did that. I don't mean it.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
I don't mean that as an insult. I just mean
it as like, I think it's as good as it's
going to get, and I mean it's good. I think,
I think you did a great job, and I think
your Jim Dale is hilarious. But I don't think it's
ever gonna get more like Jim Dale. And if anything,
you might start overthinking it more than I know.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
That's the thing. When I start overthinking it's that's a problem.
So but yeah, like you said, this is this is
a pretty iconic page and we've definitely talked about it
quite a bit, and it.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
If spoiler alert, yes this was in the movie. Yes
spoiler alert it was, although not exactly the same dialogue,
but we have I think she says boys or something, right, Yeah, yeah,
I think so we did it not too long ago
on the take five, but it's well, it's probably was
quite a bit logo, but right, it probably been like

(16:03):
six months at least. Yeah, probably at least honestly.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, okay, but yeah, I thought this was a great page.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Like I said, I mean, we're not going to fault
it too much for being in such a like long
chapter with a little bit too much going on in it, right,
context doesn't matter for one page at the time. Right,
To be clear, the she at the beginning was Professor McGonagall,
although we're not. I'm pretty sure it's Madame Pomfrey. Oh okay, yes,
you're right. So I kind of did more of a

(16:33):
you know, you're you're right. I I cheated. I looked
at the previous page. You were right. I remember Professor McGonagall.
I thought that I thought.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
You were doing a Madame palmfree voice.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Oh okay, well I remember that Jim Dale's matter. Our
Professor McGonagall is really not very good. I mean, it's
good as far as it's entertaining, but it doesn't really
embody Professor McGonagall for me. So yeah, yeah, all right,
Well Anyway, the rest of the page was pretty clear.
We don't know exactly where Hermione is stamping her foot

(17:03):
because we're not supposed to look at pages.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
She stamped her foot on.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
The could have been lots of things, could have been
a lot of things. But yeah, I mean I think
that there's a lot of great stuff on this page.
I think let's start just jump right in with adverb
watch because.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
I think we got like some of our best adverbs
we've ever had.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
We have quite a few on this page. So starting
off strong with squeakily. Hermione said, squeakily, that's my personal favorite.
Not to get too far, well, I have I have
a second I have I have one that I like
even better because yeah, very seriously, don't love that one.
But coldly Harry said coldly is that's it's gonna be

(17:42):
hard to beat coldly for me. Whenever Harry says something coldly,
it's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
It is funny. But squeakily is so unique, I feel like,
and it's funny. Yeah, picture Hermioty being squeaky about.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Something, but it's not that unique. I think Hermione has
said things squeakily quite a few times when Harry says,
so the cold that's really that chills the bow, that
chills he is cold caught on and have you like that?
That's a huge mic drop moment from Harry. And then
of course he just backs down right away.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Ron, First of all, both Ron and Hermione are like
scared of Harry when he gets like that, because I know,
now we get into the next adverbs. Hermione stood nervously,
and then Ron opened his mouth uncertainly.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, so we have nervously again a little bit later,
So maybe that's the Joe she didn't. So we have
nervously twice in about four or five lines. Yeah, we'll
get to that in a minute.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
But yeah, no, I agree, nervously was a little boring
to have that in there twice, So that's definitely not
a contender.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, and then that's pretty much it, because we have bewildered,
but it's Harry told her bewildered, which you don't You
wouldn't have bewildered Lee, right, No, no, So it's sort
of functioning as an advert but I think it's more
so saying it. Harry himself is bewildered, So I don't
know coldly or squeakily.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Well, I agree with you what you're saying about coldly, Like,
I think it's pretty funny when Harry's cold like that,
But I as an adjective, or I mean sorry, as
an adverb, I don't think it's like that.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Great, Yeah, I get. I guess we're kind of deciding
what's the criteria here. Are we giving it to the
adverb that's the best in general or is it the
adverb that's the best on the page? Right? I don't know.
It could be a tie this week. We could give
it to both.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, I suppose we.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Have so many to choose from here, so I think
we can give it to too. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Okay, as far as the ojo, she didn't, I agree
with what you're saying about nervously. But the other thing
I wanted to say was possibly the Harry cutting Ron off, Yeah,
because it's like, also feel like she's kind of like
doesn't let.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Ron grow sometimes? Yeah, I I agree, And we kind
of have talked about this at nauseum. I'm probably I'm
assuming throughout the podcast years, but I think this could
have been such a good moment for Ron, and it
is a good moment for Ron because he does inwardly
admit that he was wrong, but it would tell he
is sorry, but right, yeah, and you know he is,

(20:18):
he is growing here. But for their friendship, like I
guess you could argue that it's a mark, it's a
mark of the strength of their friendship that Harry did
not laugh. But but I just feel like there's so much,
like so much value in a real apology between friends
and between any two people. So I would have really

(20:42):
liked to see that here. And I know again that
we've we've maybe.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
That's maybe I'm kind of doubling into the missed opportunity
of the week, like maybe that was the missed opportunity.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
And no, I don't think I think the missed opportunity
we're we forget. I feel like the missed opportunity is
not always there, and it's usually it's supposed to be
something sort of funny, like the original missed opportunity was
supposed to be like Hagrid's loge size was missed at
the table, right, So I think the missed opportunity here
would be probably something more along the lines of like

(21:12):
it's Hermione saying something about boys, because that's they added
that into the movie, but here it's just you two
are so stupid or a missed opportunity. Harry and Ron
could have kissed here, that would have been.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
That would have been a true reconciliation.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, exactly. No, I think I agree with that being
the Joe she didn't because the two nervously is I
honestly never would have noticed it if we weren't doing
adverb watch right, it's not like it's three times not as.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Bad as sometimes where we've had that, right.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
When we had cheerful three times in a row. Yeah,
this is two different uses of nervously. We have stood
nervously and grinned nervously. And I mean, yeah, they're both nervous,
so maybe anxiously could have been subbed in there.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
But yeah, and also I mean yeah, no.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
I think yeah, no, So I think that the robbing
Ron of his chance to really apologize. I mean, yes,
it's Harry who does that, But I mean who is
the puppet master behind all of it, right, well, Dumbledore,
but besides Dumbledore also the author. Yeah, I think Dumbledore
really should have forced Jahn to apologize here. Oh he

(22:24):
had too much to be getting on with. Yeah, don't
cry Alice, it's okay. Yeah, the other this is a
really minor ojo. She didn't But I've never heard this
phrase before, and I don't really care to hear it
ever again. But the mouth of the tent.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
I mean I think I have heard that, but I
mean I've.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Heard the mouth of a cave before. I feel like,
just why not reach before he'd reached the opening of
the tent or the entrance of the tent, or like,
I really don't like the phrase the mouth of the tent. Yeah,
it's like the squid's mall. We should have had a
chance to see the giant squid. Maybe that was the
missed opportunity of the world. Yeah that, I mean, that's

(23:07):
usually a fair choice for the missed opportunity is where
was the giant squid in this scene? Or we could
always go with where was the food? I mean, Harry
could have really used some chocolate after that encounter.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah, he needed it.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Right, Or you know, there's no birds on this babe, either,
so that's going to be another missed opportunity. That is tough. Yeah,
and we have to pick an MVB out of this.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
I'm not quite sure what you know, I'm really struggling
to figure out what the adrenaline. I mean, he is
full of adrenaline, a dreamline.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
And that's what made him get to his feet. Yeah,
well I guess could he. Ron and Hermione they came
darting inside the tent, they did, and birds like a
humming bird kind of. Yeah, exactly. I thought also of
Hermione's tears. You know they probably picture burst into tears.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yea, her face.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, it's it's tough.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
I think it's Ron and Hermione coming darting.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Into the tent.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, two people had come darting inside. Hermione followed closely
by Ron.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Let's this is in a segment exactly. But let's talk
a little bit about the fingernail marks on Hermione's face.
Maybe she needs to keep her nails short, because that's
that you shouldn't have fingernail marks ripping her face.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
In fear during the challenge or what I mean.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yes, she had fingernail marks on her face where she
had been clutching it in fear. M Yeah, just clarifying.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Okay, Well, yeah, Hermione, if if you're going to be
doing that as like a nervous thing, then I think
you do need to keep your.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Nails short, right, And there's probably a charm for that.
There probably is. There's an app for that. That's like
the that's the for that, Yeah, exactly, that's the wizarding
version of that. Hey spell for that. There's a charm
for that. There's a spell for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah
that really I was very struck by that. I was
picturing like, I mean, I've definitely had like fingernail marks

(25:11):
on my maybe arm like from but like clutching your face.
I've ever had fingernail marks on myself. I mean, I yeah,
both you and I do keep our nails short.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Well, and I mean what I guess I just don't
grip myself very often. I know.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
I mean I've tried. I'm like kind of doing it
on my own arm right now, and like it takes
a lot to really, Yeah, I have short nails, Okay,
I have. I do have a couple of fingernail marks
on my arm now after.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Well it, Yes, I know what you're talking about, but
I feel like they usually last about ten seconds not
to where Yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
This one's staying. These these these are enough time.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
For you to finish, for Harry to finish the task
and then you get back in through the ten.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
The other thing is like, for Harry to be able
to distinguish exactly what those are, she must be keeping
her nails pretty long.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah, and he must have really pressed him into her face.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Oh, hermione needs some coping mechanisms. There's a spill for that. Yeah,
is there? Well, I feel like there should be. Yeah,
I don't know, but that's that's a little concerning. I mean,
I I guess maybe it's sort of like the opposite
of of like biting your nails. She's clutching her face

(26:23):
with her nails.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Well, she wouldn't want to bite her nails.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
She's she's a girl.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
She needs to have long beautiful you're going to say
she's the daughter of a dentist too, that's a better reason.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yes, long nails. Yeah, that's important. You're right. Yeah, it's
very ungirly to have short nails. Yeah, all right, Well
let's jump into band name of the week. I'm not
I can't say to me, this was like one of
the most difficult weeks to pull band names. Well, I
think it. We're starting to say that morning.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Well, no, but yeah, I agree, But like I really
feel like this week it was there, don't know, the
phrasing wasn't very Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I mean fingernail marks. Yeah.
See is that a great band name? No, that's one
of the most unique things on this page. A lot
of the stuff on this page is pretty like straightforward.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, that's a good point. Like it's very much just
literal stuff. Yeah, full of adrenaline.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Full of speaking of literary device.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Watch.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Not a lot of figurative language here.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Very I don't I don't know if there is any
figurative language.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
I mean, oh, okay, staring at Harry starting inside, staring
at Harry as though he were a ghost, so similarly.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
There's just not a lot of band names on here.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
I mean, I did you hear what I said? Full
of adrenaline? Yeah, that one's all right. I mean it's
not great, I agree, but I mean it's better than
a lot of what we're seeing out of the tent.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, again, very good, but like one of the best
you're gonna get. Probably I don't even see that one
that's right at the top. She bustled out of the
tenth Okay, yeah, yeah, next door.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Great about to apologize. Maybe nothing to cry about.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Maybe to me that's maybe sounds like a good album name,
nothing to cry about.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
I feel like there's more options for album names, so
I kind of feel like we should keep that one
for a band name. To me, that sort of does
sound like a band name, nothing to cry about. Yeah,
I feel like we have more options for band or
for albums. Fingernail marks on her face we already have
figured out or did we already say fingernail marks as
a band name.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
No, we didn't go with that, so we can do
that as the band name.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Kind of dirty sound. Oh no, I was doing it
as an album name.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, I know, we didn't do it as a band name.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Sorry, Okay, Yeah, I think it's I think it's all right.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
It does sound kind of inappropriate, but.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I don't know. Staring at Harry or looking at Ron, Yeah,
I don't mind either of those.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Maybe staring at Harry that's kind of more unique, Okay,
And I don't know, maybe like as though he were
a ghost too. It's like for a band or for
an album. I think for an album, just as though
he were a ghost by itself. And yeah, ok, yeah,
that's fine.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, I still need one more band.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Though, right, No, we've got enough if we have out
of the tent full of adrenaline from one to the
other and the last few.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Weeks, okay, they're all so good. Maybe instead of staring,
maybe instead of as though he were a ghost, we
could do how does it feel? Now? Sure?

Speaker 2 (29:52):
That's that sounds decent.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
I feel like I could see that as an album. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, okay, Well, like I said, not a strong week
for that, but we came up with some Yeah, I'm
trying to look again just to see if there's anything
else that could be better, because I feel like we
did not come up with winners this week. No, they're
not going to be moving on in the bracket.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Oh yeah, I guess maybe we should do that, Like
maybe every every four weeks of these we could do
the best of the Yeah, that's a good idea. Okay, well,
so far we've done I think this is episode nine,
so we have eight band names already, right, and then
we only started doing album names two weeks ago, I think, right, Yeah,

(30:42):
I could make that happen on Instagram Real Weird Sisters
Pod if you want to vote.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
That's right, very exciting times on the Real Weird Sisters Pod.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah, if you have any ideas for what we could
have done on this page instead of what we have,
I would love to hear them, But I would be
impressed if you found something better, because this is bad. Yeah,
this is tough. I think you're right that it's because
there's just so much like it's just so literal, like

(31:12):
this's just describing exactly what's happening.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
It's not a Yeah, it's not a very descriptive page
as far as like setting any sort of scene.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
It's just kind of right and forth dialogue and like
you said, very straightforward about what's actually happening. Like, yes,
we got it right. I mean, it was a good page.
It's funny.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
It's just a good page and good page for band name.
It's not the same thing.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
I guess we're learning that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
I said, we learned a lot of lessons on this podcast,
and one of them maybe that's the lesson of the week. Yeah. Well,
let's let's jump into all those segments after we take
our ad break, so we'll be back after a brief
word from our sponsors. Yeah, lesson of the week. I
feel like it's almost a lesson that's not on the page,

(31:56):
which is that you should let your friends apologize when
they want to.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
I thought it was gonna be something more just along
the lines.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Of, like, I guess this is moral of the week,
not lesson of the week, right.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Right, right, Moral of the week. Some friendships can can
make it through like fights, you know what I mean,
like something yeah, like yeah, real friends are gonna grow
together or something. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's that's what

(32:29):
we're supposed to learn for this page. I think what
we're learning from the page ourselves is what's missing that
that actually might be the lesson of the week if
you were, you know, teaching your kids about like emotional
empathy that kind of thing, and emotional maturity and like
showing how Harry like thought he was doing run a favor.
But it's actually okay to let your friends apologize.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. Yeah, it
is okay to let your friends apologize from time to time.
Contint kidding, Okay, humble brag of the week. I feel
like we could probably come up with some here.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Yeah, maybe I feel like I'm a little more prepared
to talk about the burn of the week. Okay, Burn
of the week I felt like was Hermione saying.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
You were amazing, you really were.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
It's like I don't like I can hardly believe it.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Or like it's not She doesn't actually use the word
actually there, but it's kind of implied.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
It's like, really were, It's like you actually were.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
I'm not just saying I'm not just saying that.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yeah, she sounds so like baffled by that. Yeah, she's
surprised that he really was amazing. I mean, and let's
be honest, we already talked about this. It takes him
a really long time to figure out what he's gonna.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Do with that dragon. So yes, I mean it's kind
of a bit of a surprise to all of us.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah, true, and I mean, yes, it's just typical. The
thing is, this is not a hidden burn of the week.
It's like this is just Hermione's way of delivering a compliment.
She's already like a little bit of it. It's like
how Ron says later, like always the tone of surprise, Right,
that's kind of Hermione's way.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Right, I did think that took you long enough? Was
a decent bird, Harry does cold.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah, that's true too.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Because it's a good burn on Ron, Like, I mean,
I don't think Ron actually thinks that he's breaking news
with his theory here. I think he's just trying to
break the tension, right right, But it does.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
He does kind of present it like, Harry, I've got
a theory. Yeah, caught on? Have you? Yeah? I agree.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
I think that that's pretty funny when n When Harry
says that stuff, yeah, and then of course takes it
back seconds later.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
The obvious burd in the week here is you two
are so stupid as well. Yeah, true, I did think
of a humble brag of the week. I do think
it's a little bit of a humble brag. When Harry
says suddenly he found he didn't need to hear it. Oh,
should Harry need to hear it? Oh? Harry, you are
so mature, right, you are just such a good friend.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
He's so above it.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
He doesn't need exactly, he's so above it. That's the
white word.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
He's so.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
He just is too. It's not it's not necessary for him.
He understands his friend. He doesn't need an apology. Congratulations.
Another one. Harry didn't want.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
To sit still. He was too full of adrenaline.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Congrats Harry. He's so peppy. Right, way to go, Harry,
You're so full of adrenaline. He doesn't believe in resting.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
He just wants to go, go, go. Yeah, that's a
little bit of toxic toxic activity positivity. You gotta go
get that bread right right?

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Okay, hustler culture. The other one here is uh, it's okay,
he said, before Ron could get the words out. Harry,
you're fast, he said, I was sure to get the
words out. How did he manage to say that, sast
I don't know. That's Harry for you. He's fast and

(36:11):
also a kind of underrated humble brag here meaning Ron
for the first time, right after he'd been made champion.
Lest we forget that Harry's been made champion, Yeah, we
would never, We couldn't forget that. Thank you for the reminder.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
That might be my favorite. Actually Harry's the champion.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Right after he'd been made champion.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
We remember that wasn't that long ago.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
It's only the first task. Thank you for reminding us
Harry is champion.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Just competing because he's champion, and yet we have to
get a reminder of that. I guess there's also there's
this page's kind of a chalk full of humble brags.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Ron was very white.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Oh oh he is so fair skinned.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Oh fair Ron, don't step out of the ten or
you might get a sunburn on your friskin, right, Okay.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
I don't know if there's any others. Yeah, that was
quite a few. That was a lot. I have to say,
I think I liked it before Ron could get the
words out best Arry fast.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Yeah, but like I said, I really liked the right
after he'd been made champion.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Thank you for the reminder.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
And I also like Harry didn't want to sit still.
He was too full.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Of a drug. Oh congrats, that could never be me.
I was gonna say, I don't relate, I do not
relate it.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
I've never heard the sentence Alice didn't want to sit still.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Alice always wanted to say Martha always wants to sit still.
That's true. I also as though Harry were meeting Ron
for the first time right after he'd been made champion.
I don't really get what that's saying. Is it's saying
he's like meeting up with Ron for the first time
right at like it's like he's he's seeing Ron right

(38:06):
after he'd been made champion and nothing like he never
had the reaction or is it literally that the two
of them are meeting each other for the first time?

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Phrasing the meeting, I think meeting is in this context're
just supposed to mean like seeing Ron.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
I think so, because that makes more sense.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Yeah, I think that's like that might be sort of
a way that you might hear that more often in
British English. I'm not sure, but that's kind.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Of oh yeah, because in German that's kind of yeah,
that word is sort of used.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Right, Yeah, I think so. But I think in this
case it it would kind of make sense because it
just means seeing in the.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Way we would use it.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
What wouldn't make sense is literally meeting Ron for the
first time, because that makes it seem like they don't
knock on the train and from right, because it's like
that doesn't that's not the feeling that they have here,
the feelings, and that doesn't say it's as it doesn't
say like it wasn't it was as though the first
the last few years hadn't happened.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
It's just the last few weeks, right, So that's what
I think.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
It's like, it's meeting up with Ron for the first
time after he'd been made Like, so it's like he what,
It's as though Harry's just seeing Ron for the first
time after being made champion.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
And he hasn't seen any kind of reaction from Ron yet,
right exactly.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Yeah, okay, but it is Maybe it's just our American reading,
but it feels a little odd to me. And it
is a little odd too, because that's right before Harry
says the caught on have you enough? So like you'd
think that would be after they reconciled, that he would
feel like far had never happened.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
I mean, I think it's maybe more so Ron is
acting this way, right Ron, like Ron is pretendingly Yes,
but I agree.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
It's like the way it says it was as though
that right, like everybody felt I.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Think it should say he said it as though.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Right, or like Harry got the impression that Ron was like,
I don't know, right, like this was like Ron thought
the last few weeks had never were forgotten.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Yeah, or he said it he said it as though
the last few weeks had never happened. Yeah, that would
fix it. But yeah, it does.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
It does kind of seem like it's saying Harry immediately
felt as though, right, yeah, it's a little I will
say that that's probably the most like awkward phrasing on
the page.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah, I definitely agree, and I don't think it's I
do think there's part of it is the British English
versus American English here, but I think also now that
we've talked about it more, it's just the phrasing in general,
because it it's not as though.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
It just is Ron saying it as though, right, yeah,
it's it's a little bit clunky.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Yeah, it definitely is a little bit.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
It gives you pause when you start to analyze every
sentence on the page very exactly.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
Yeah, this is the This is the great thing about
one page at a time. I don't think that we
talked about this. We were so busy when we did
the book club with all the other things that happened
in this chapter that I doubt we spent any time
talking about that. That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
There's very few sentences that we were able to really
hone in on. I mean we do, we did, but
like now we really can hone in.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Yeah, maybe that should be a new segment. Is favorite
sentence of the week. Do we have I feel like
we've done that a couple of times where we've seen
like a phrasing that we really liked. I think there
was one a couple of weeks ago that was like that.
Was there anything on the page that you really liked?

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Like, again, I felt like this page content wise was good,
but like writing, why is not anything usually to really
write home about?

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Yeah? Yeah, and that's part of our band. Name of
the week was the Struggle. Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
I mean I like the part when Hermione's crying and
then says, you two are so stupid. I think that's
kind of funny and endearing. I like it much better
than saying boys agreed. But I I don't know that
I wouldn't necessarily say that's like my favorite sentence.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
On the Yeah. I don't think there's a standout sentence
on this page, but I will say there is a
Maybe this could be used as a lesson of the
week for a for an Ela classroom, because this verges
on a run on sentence, but it's it's technically not,
but it just is a lot of prepositional phrases. He

(42:16):
got to his feet Comma, wanting to see what was
going on outside comma. But before he reached the or
before he'd reached the mouth of the tent comma, two
people had come darting inside M dash hermione comma, followed
closely by Rod. That's a really long sentence.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Now, And there were quite a few M dashes on
this page too. There's like, yeah, yeah, I M dash watch.
We have one, two, three, four, five.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Yeah, I count five. That's a lot for one page.
And they're they're used in different ways. We have three
that are used in dialogue and two that are used
in pros I guess is for a narration.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Well well, and two of them are used kind of
as like a either kind of stuttering slash choosing their
words or getting cut off, right, and then some of
them are used more in a traditional M dash way.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Right. The author uses them both ways, though I've.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Noticed that she likes to put them in as like
a as like a stammering kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Yeah, but she also does like them in her narration
too standard way. So that's it. We've talked about this,
I think before, but and I know several several of
our listeners were like, I feel attacked as an M
dash user. I was like, I use m dashes too,
and I.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
I don't know, I feel like she's getting into AI territory.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
I think so too. It's too much. Yeah, it's one
of those things where if you were I feel like
if you were writing this page and you looked at it,
you would say, okay, I see a few too many
on this stage.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
We just take a glance at the page, they pop
out at you right away then that that's sort of
a red flag.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
I think that the ones that are in dialogue on
this page are necessary, but they didn't have to use
the ones for the narration that two people had come
darting inside Hermione followed closely by Ron. I feel like
it could have done a colon for that one.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Yeah, there is a colon earlier in that paragraph, so
it gets a little bit well.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
The Actually, you didn't really need a colon for Harry
didn't want to sit still colon. He was too full
of a.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Yeah, that's a little odd that he was capitalized in
the second after.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
The Yeah, that's a really weird set. I don't think
that's that's not correct. Yeah, I think it should have
been a semi colon and a lowercase H.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Yeah, I would agree with that, I think that would
be that better. And then we could do a colon
for the coming darting inside.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Right, and then for the it was as though the
few weeks, last few weeks had never happened. Just do
a comma there, as though Harry were meeting for the
first time. That Yeah, okay, I agree, great news. Second,
I'm sure we didn't lose any on that one. The
segment called.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
W W c ed what would a copy editor do?

Speaker 1 (45:09):
All of these all of the segments are turning into
w W.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
Like d questions.

Speaker 5 (45:15):
Well, speaking of w W w W, I say w
w w w w w q q Oh no, sorry,
I skipped.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
The t g g q q O t w b
q q O t w b A.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
It's time for the w W t q q O
t w B What would the quorra question of the week?
B love it the best segment title that we've ever
come up with. It is amazing. I have to say
as well, I'm very proud of that one. It took
a lot of creativity and w W t q q
O t w B off the I wouldn't be surprised

(45:57):
if that's like the Merriam Webster word of the you're five.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Yeah, people are saying it. I've definitely been hearing it
slipped into the vernacular.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
In public and somebody's like w wtqqotwb.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
And then you're like you can't even really say, You're like, yeah, exactly.
I was just wondering that myself, like, hey, let's really
you have to let's talk about it. Wwt qqotwb, let's
talk about it. Okay, Well, what would the core question

(46:32):
of the week be here? I think we could definitely
have something here that's a person being a little bit
slow on the uptake, as one might say, of why
what was it about the first task that caused Ron
to have a change of heart?

Speaker 2 (46:51):
That's exactly what I was going to say, so I
think that makes sense. I was going to say something
like why did Ron decide to forget? Like not yeah,
you know, like why did what was it that made
Ron change his mind about Harry being the champion? And
I think that we're gonna have a very no at
all answer, because oftentimes when we have a question like

(47:12):
that that's a little bit like a like I said,
somebody's not exactly using their critical thinking too much. But
I mean, the funny thing about Coorra is somebody's thinking
enough to think of the question, but not thinking enough
to actually answer the question. But I think we would
really some of our Cora champs would really seize this
opportunity to just really go in on explaining things. Oh

(47:35):
that's it's also just the opportunity to feel really smart.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Yeah that too, So it's something that's like they feel.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
So some of some of our Korra heavy hitters feel
so superior situations like this because it's like, oh, well
I understood what the answer?

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Yeah, yeah, oh you did. I would I would love
to explain this to you. So it'd be something like that.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
Literally not better to do.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
I think Claire, the Harry Potter Lexicon editor, she would
probably be really excited to answer this one. She'd jump
in by saying, Ron truly never believed that Harry had
put his own name into the Goblet of Fire. However,
he had pangs of jealousy that overtook him in the

(48:23):
moment after seeing Harry receive the glory that he never received.
So that's the start. However, once he had expressed these
feelings in a way that didn't actually or he expressed
these feelings to Harry in a way that caused Harry
to react defensively, causing a rift between the friends that

(48:49):
felt irreparable for a time. However, seeing his best friend
in the face of danger, almost killed by a Hungarian
horntail caused Ron to realize that losing Harry was far
too great of a consequence than his pride, but then
losing his pride very good, Very good. Claire beside that

(49:14):
I think she also nailed the reason. I think so too.
I mean, to be fair, I think it was kind
of obvious, but not to the person who asked it.
So Sheen continues a little bit more, say Ron being
immature fourteen year old or a slightly immature fourteen year old,

(49:38):
I feel like she wouldn't she wouldn't go that far.
A slightly immature fourteen year old struggled to find the
words to properly express his apology, and instead of coming
right out and apologizing, he chose to say that he
or he chose to express his concern for his friend

(50:02):
by suggesting that somebody was trying to do his friend
in m HM.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
He used this opportunity of seeing Harry in danger to
blend some humor to try to to try to mend
fences with Harry.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Yeah, I think we nailed it. Yeah, nailed it. Claire
nailed it. Good job, Claire. Yeah, I mean I know
we shouldn't be surprised. I mean, she is an editor. Yeah,
she she nails it every time. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
I think that that was a pretty accurate w w
Q sorry w w t q q O.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
T w b oh. And it's an amazing segment title.
Just to be clear, we haven't talked about that enough.
I agree, all right, that was that was that. Let's
move on to our next w W segment w w GPD.
We know that she would a picture of a book
being thrown, but that doesn't actually relate to this page.
So maybe we should come up with something super unrelated

(51:07):
to this page that she would draw. She would draw
a picture of a dog, just maybe the tent. Yeah,
well most of this happened in the tent, right, So.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
That's why I thought like she could just draw the
tent and then it's like it kind of covers quite
a few scenes we just don't see.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
We just see the tent, right, I mean, it would
actually be a picture of what's happening. We just can't
actually see what's happening in the tent.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
It could be a zoom in on Hermione's face with
her fingernail marks on it.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Oh, that would be kind of creepy looking, but.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Zoom in on her face her have her gripping her face.
It's sort of like, I guess it's not exactly what's
happening on the page, but it's it's referenced here, so
that's it.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or we could have Harry and Ron
kind of standing apart from each each other, yeah, and
Hermione in the middle maybe well yeah, or Hermione bursting
into tears in the middle of them. Yeah, that could
be as well.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
You wouldn't I I I'm glad. I can see maybe
why GP decided to go with the book and the hands,
because you wouldn't. There's a lot of things you don't
want to give away about this chapter, Like you don't
want to give away how he's going to get past
the dragon. You don't want to give away that he
and Harry are going to finally make up, you know.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
So it's like, and we already have the picture of
the Hungarian horntail for chapter eighteen, because that's the chapter
of the Hungarian horntail. I feel like there could have
been other simple things though, like we could have had
a picture of the egg or a picture of the
firebolt without giving anything away. Just a picture of the broom,
you know, or.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
The tent, like I said, Yeah, the tent.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
Would have been great. Or what about like just pictures
of the four champions, like reaching into the bag? You know.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Yeah, again that's not a gp just to be clear,
that's not a GPD from this page.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
But that could have been a better offer, right, That's
what I'm saying. Yeah, that's not happening.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
I think that's a good call, reaching into the bag.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
I like that idea for the actual chapter, or a
picture of Barti Crouch going the Chinese fireball.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Are we is that is that in Hermione's beaded bag?
Are we taking that with us?

Speaker 1 (53:22):
I'm not, Oh, I am definitely. There's certain there's certain
horrible moments for the movie that we can't take out
of the movie now because they're so in our own
they're so in our own like dictionary or phrases.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Yeah, so we we have to accept that that's one
of them.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
We can't take that out of the movies.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
That one locked in.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
The Fireball, Hello Father, Yeah, exactly, and Barty Crouch Juda. Oh,
I love the movies.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
They're so they're so well acted, so well written too.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Oh I know, yes, just pacing, amazing all of these things.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
Seamless move book sorry, seamless page to screen adaptation, yes.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Oh, not to mention, seamless transitions from one seed to another. Oh,
they're wonderful. Never awly.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
I mean you just have to see the womping willow
and you know time is passing or Crookshanks exactly running
and then there's a quick time jump exactly.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
All right, Well, we've done most of our segments here.
There was no food, so we've done our segment Food
of the Week. I don't think that we need SaaS
of the Week. I think that Meme of the Week, I.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Mean SaaS of the Week was kind of the caught
on have you true? Yeah, but yeah, I don't know
if it specifically needs to be awarded or not.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
I don't think it does. But we could think about
the meme of the Week. I just I don't know.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Yeah, I think Meme of the Week is less of
a weekly segment and it's more of a if it
encouraged we have it if the if the meme lord
thinks of it. Okay, memes have to come to me organically.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
I can't force it.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Yeah, that's that's true. I guess I can't think of anything.
I feel like something with Harry and the caught on
have you took long enough? That could be something made
into a meme somehow, but I don't really know how.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
So yeah, maybe we could have the it's the same
picture thing of Ron saying I reckon, they're trying to
do you will, of and Ron apologizing that's the same picture.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Yeah, I guess so for Harry, that's his perspective for sure.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
Exactly. That's enough for Harry.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Yeah all right, So I think what we have to
do next is the page ranking, Yes, page ranking? Real weirdo?
Oh okay, yeah, real weirdo. I mean Hermione probably maybe
maybe hair Well, does Harry get to be it?

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Yeah he does, right he does? Maybe for shutting Ron down? Yeah,
let's do that. Harry's being a little bit weird. Okay, MVB.
Are we going with.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Ron and Hermione or yeah?

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Run in her mind?

Speaker 2 (56:30):
I think we have to clarify though we haven't really
been doing this on.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Our spreadsheet, but I feel like we should. We're not
gonna remember when we look back at this why they
were the real weirdo. So in hermiony darting or darting inside,
does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (56:45):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Yeah? Yeah. And then like last week, it was the
candle's flickering. Okay, good because oh, because flicker is a bird,
isn't it. Yeah, a candle that is a flicker.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
You mean a bird A flicker is, Yes, a flicker
is a bird. That is a flicker.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
All right, So that seems like that's pretty much all
we have left to do except for our real dice roll.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Well no, no, we still didn't do the page ranking.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Oh I was so excited. Okay, don't I don't think
this is better than elf tails, I have to say.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
I do have to say, like this is okay, elf
tails is iconic in its own way. Yeah, this page
is one of the most impactful pages that we've.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
Had so far. It is true, it's a very consequential page,
and it's important for Rod and Hermione or sorry Rod
on Harry's friendship.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
But and if we were ranked, like I know, we're
only just doing the King of the Hill thing. But
like I feel like it's kind of up there, like
the page we did last week too with the voice
in Lockhart's attention that was maybe similarly iconic. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
True, So I think those two.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
Are the most memorable as far as in general the
most memorable page.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Well, and they are both pages that are in the movie.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Yeah. True, So I think those two pages have been.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Have been like kind of in a different way than well, Yeah,
I think that. I think that we're gonna get a
page that beats Elftaiales eventually, and it's gonna be a
page that combines the great iconic memes from the Real
Word Sisters with consequential for the whole series. Because the
problem with this page, despite it being so consequential for

(58:34):
their friendship and important for all of that, is that
it does have the flaw of being so literal and
straightforward as far as what's happening on the page. And
we really didn't have like the best time ever reading
just the page, right, agreed.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
Yeah, so we're gonna need to find that amazing blend.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
And it is that.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
I mean, Lockhart's the one last week was kind of
verging into that day.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
It got very close. Yes, I.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
Think this week's is a little less so, but it
definitely still one of the better pages that we've read
as far as like, yes, it's place in the series exactly.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
I think that that's exactly right. I think that we'll
get a page to beat Elfdales eventually. We're just not there.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Yet, right, I mean, it is going to be a
fairly high bar, and that is fine.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
That was a great page exactly. So all right, we
ready to roll the dice?

Speaker 2 (59:21):
Yes, but real quick before you say that, I was
going to say, the fact that we get to talk
about elf tails every week does make me.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
Happy me too, all Right. I am holding the D
seven in my hand right now and I'm going to
roll it.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
I might still have to put in the dice sound
effect because I don't know if this is going to
be loud enough.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Okay, but here we go. We got book four. Okay,
so book four again?

Speaker 2 (59:46):
All right, Well that's only our third time on book four.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
Well, I know what we just did book four today?
Well should I just roll the D ten three times
and then I might get a zero and might just
be better? Okay? Okay, page five it's our first digit.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Nine seven, five hundred ninety seven Okay, any player.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
Later in a book than we've ever had, I'm guessing
that's gonna I'm just I'm not looking at the page
and I'm just looking at the book. I'm gonna guess
it's like right before the graveyard.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
Oh you think that late?

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
Well, right before the third task? Maybe that's what I mean. Yeah,
that that sounds about right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
I was gonna say, maybe like the Madness of mister Crouch.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, that could suck well because that tack
that takes place right after they go to the third task,
right like before they go just right before they see
the right after they see the maze, right, Yeah, yeah,
I think that's what I meant. Yeah, yeah, because there's
seven hundred and thirty four pages total, so that's about
one hundred and fifty pages before the end of the book.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Yeah, that might even be a little too late in
the school year. Still, Okay, what I've guessed, but I
don't know. That's gonna be my guest Madness of mister
Crouch something I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
Guessing right before the first time or sorry, right before
the third task. Okay, all right, we'll see, we will see,
won't we. So yeah, very excited. I don't think we're
gonna be doing that next week, though. I think we're
gonna have a Take five for you next week. But
fingers crossed, well, we will see, won't we cross.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
All five of your fingers for take five.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
And all ten of your toes take ten? All five
of your fingers? Oh, I guess because of Take five. Okay, yeah,
well on one hand, right, but how do you cross?

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
You cross them? That was the joke. Okay, okay, well,
dig your fingernail marks into your your fingernails into your face,
leave marks. Don't actually not encouraged. I don't encourage that.
I agree, all right. We will be back next week
with either a Take five or a one page at
a time. Either way, our next page is going to

(01:01:56):
be book four, page five hundred and ninety seven. Stay
