Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Book one, page three hundred four.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
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? All you are the Weird Sisters are fine,
but not the fakers. Well, the real Weird Sisters, please

(00:24):
stand up, Please stand up, Please stand up.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Hi, and welcome to the Real Weird Sisters. I'm Alice
and I'm Martha, and today we're here to talk about
the three hundred and fourth page of Harry Potter and
the Sorcerer's Stone, our first one page at a time
from Sorcerer's Stone. How exciting.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
I'm very excited, yes, And I hope that I don't
trouble you too much with an old beds wheezing waffle today.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
It's a normal way to say that.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, there's a lot of normal phrases, normal turns of
phrases on these pages, or sorry, on this page. This
is our second week in a row that features Dumbledore,
So that's exciting.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yes, And I think our prediction was pretty pretty spot on.
I think I remember saying like you saying that you
thought we'd be at the end of your feast, which
we do get to on this page.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I think you said you thought we'd still be fighting quirrel.
I did not, No, but I think we did. We
did make a point of being like, yeah, those last
like there's only like five pages left of this book,
four pages left, but they pack. I don't know. I
think you might have guessed hospital wing, which I guess
is where we are at at the beginning of this page. Right,

(01:35):
so one of the signature time jumps.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
The signature time jump, and Alfonso wasn't there yet to
throw in the clock at Hogwarts. But we did jump ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yes we did.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, so I guess before we get too far into
this page, we do need to discuss our band names
and album titles from last week. They were amazing last week.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
I thought they were good.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
What do you mean, Oh, I just thought last week
we really like were scraping the bottom of that was
the that was the week before last with a lot
very quickly. Okay, well, just looking at them, some of
them are better than others. Okay, So for our band names,
we had a clear winner. The options were excess Thoughts,

(02:21):
Patterns and Feelings, Stone Basin and his Temple. Now sadly,
the two that I felt the most passionate about, which
were Stone Basin and His Temple, those two ended up
in the bottom.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I think you only came up with His Temple though, maybe,
but three bands and new to three albums, I think.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, yeah, but I do feel that I liked those
two the best, and they ended up in the bottom.
The top band name ended up being Excess Thoughts with
thirty nine percent of the vote, so pretty clear front
runner there. Then we had our album names, which were
Silvery White State at these times too many Thoughts and

(03:01):
Memories and let me show you. Not quite as much
of a runaway vote here, but we had at these
times in first place with thirty four percent of the vote,
and let me show you with twenty nine percent.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Mm hm, So I think you came up with uh, definitely,
let me show you. I feel like also at these times,
I think I came up with too many Thoughts and Memories,
which I didn't like that much, so I thought, I thought,
I don't remember, I thought I came up with that one,
but maybe you did. Well. I know for sure you
came up with Silvery White State, which was our loser.

(03:37):
So exteresting though having done ten of these now, like
we haven't had a band or I mean we've only
done albums for a few weeks, but we haven't had
a band or album get zero percent of the vote.
So everyone always has at least I think at least
two people vote for it. So it's kind of interesting

(03:57):
to see how kind of every he has their own opinion,
and it's not always like a clear true's ever one dud.
You know there's one that will.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Get Yeah, that's that speaks volumes for how amazing we
are at coming up with these names.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, all right, well.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
We'll have to see. I felt I felt that this
week when I was reading the page that it had
some strong contenders on there already.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Anytime double Doore talks. I mean, even though it not
that last week with the double Door speech, I think
like half of these album and band names came from
duble Doore's dialogue, like excess thoughts, patterns and feelings, too
many thoughts and memories and let me show you we're
all doubledoorisms.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Oh Dumbledore. He he always has had away with words.
I feel like I feel like he'd be tickled to
name a band.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, he would be quite he'd be tickled pink, but
even more so, I feel like he'd be tickled to
know that a band was named after something he said
like that, not knowing that it ended up influence sing
something you know right right, like oh that tickles me? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, Well, any further thoughts on last week's band names
or anything.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well, I have to give a little preview, that little
peak behind the curtain. Alis and I are actually recording
two episodes in a row today because we're about to
go camping for a week, So we are not going
to have the results of this week's band name. Oh
that's right, until two weeks from now. So we'll have
a number header where we'll we'll recap which is the

(05:35):
winner of that bandon album for this week and next week, and.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
People will be able to hold onto their night.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
So people are really going to be on the edges
of their seats, So just scoot back a little bit,
hold hold your horses, don't freak out next week when
we don't.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Have That was good of you to warn them, I
thought so.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I thought it seemed necessary. It was. It was foolish
of us to no, It would have been foolish of
us to.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Not exactly all right, Well, I guess it's time that
we jump into this week's page.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
So are you ready, Martha? I think I am all right?
Nah Dumbledore gave me that. Sorry, it's not Hagrid. Okay, well,
actually it doesn't actually ever specify here whether it's Haggard speakings.
But Nah, Dumbledore, I don't know what my ha. This

(06:34):
is really hard to start with the haggard voice.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, just jumping in cold with Hagrid is tough.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
I'm gonna try again, and it's probably gonna come out
the exact same as the last. Okay, Nah Dumbledore gave me.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Okay, you sound like a death eater or something.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, okay, Nah, dumbled Old. Are you me the day
off yesterday to fix it? Course you should have sacked
me instead. Anyway, got your this?

Speaker 1 (07:07):
It seemed to be a answer.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Now I'm struggling.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
It seemed to be a handsome, leather covered book. Harry
opened it curiously. It was full of wizard photographs, smiling
and waving at him from every page, where his mother
and father hunt.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Howel's after all your parents' old school friends asking for
photos knew you didn't have any you like it.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Harry couldn't speak, but Hagrid understood. Harry made his way
down to the end of year feast alone. That night
he had been held up by Madame Pomfrey's fussing about
insisting on giving him one last checkup, so the Great
Hall was already full. It was decked out in the
Slytherin colors of green and silver to celebrate Slytherin's winning

(07:55):
the House Cup for the seventh year in a row.
A huge banner showing the Slytherin's and covered the wall
behind the high table. When Harry walked in, there was
a sudden hush, and then everybody started talking loudly at once.
He slipped into a seat between Ron and Hermione at
the Gryffindor table and tried to ignore the fact that

(08:15):
people were standing up to look at him. Fortunately Dumbledore
arrived moments later. The babbyl died away another year gone,
Dumbledore said, cheerfully, and.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
I must trouble to you with an old man's wheezing
waffle before we sink our teeth into our delicious feast.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
What a year it has been.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Hopefully your heads are all a little fuller than they were,
you have the whole summer ahead to get them nice
and empty before next year stops.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
That was a rough page for both of us. That
was tough. That was very tough.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I don't know what it was, but I think the jumping,
like I said, cold straight into Hagrid's nurse was not
setting us up for success.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I don't have, like a song, a Dumbledore voice clearly,
but I feel like last week stumbledore voice was more
clear in my head, and this week I don't know
what that was. Yeah, you did find up until like
I feel like you, you had, you got tired of
doing it, so I did.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
I When I finally read Dumbledore said cheerfully, which was
my last line of the page, I thought, oh, thank goodness,
you had.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Like two big paragraphs in a row that you have
to go through. Yeah, yeah, that's tough. Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Well. I usually do okay with Jim Dale for most
of it, but then like if I start overthinking certain words,
I'm like, now, how would he say that?

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Right? Well, like, for instance, you, I will say photographs.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
I don't know how he says that, photographs, probably, yeah,
the one word full of wizard photographs, the one word
I will say you didn't quite nail was handsome. There
was a little I know, I didn't know how to
say that either. How would he say that, hant handsome?

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, that's tough. Handsome.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
It seemed to be a handsome leather Yeah, I can't
do it to be.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
A handsome leather coupled.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I don't know. That's a hard word because I feel
like we don't have like a super strong Montana accent.
A lot of Montanas would say handsome, like the emphasized
ah sound, and you know that's like a Midwest thing too,
So it's not like we have that strong tendency, but
we do. I feel like that that sound is harder

(10:24):
for us to not do the way that we do. Yeah, well,
I right jump right into not exactly the meme of
the week, but sort of the the illusion of oh okay,
because you know one of my favorite Arrested Development jokes,
take a look at banner, Michael.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah, I feel like you're the only person who quotes
that too.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Okay, Well, it's my favorite joke quote. It kills me.
It's like it's like untethered excitement he has. It's saying,
take a look at banner, Michael, So as soon as
I see the word banner, a huge banner showing the
slitherin serpent. Take a look at banner.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Harry, Yeah, Harry wouldn't be excited to see that banner though.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
No, take a look at banner, Malfoy, Yeah, exactly a
few pages later, once those colors change, that is that
is a moment. Take a look at banner, Harry. Yeah, no, kidding,
and not Draco. But I just I get very excited
when I see the word banner because I get to say,
take a look at banner, Michael.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
So so funny. Yeah I didn't, that didn't even cross
my mind. But I don't think about take a look
at banner the way you do.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I would like to hear from listeners. Does anybody else
who's an arrested development fan, which I know we have
quite a few, any other arrested development fans also A
big fan of that line, in particular, because I don't
think I'm the only one.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Well, I think it's funny, for sure, I just think
you're one of the only people who like thinks about
it all the time.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
I can't see the word banner without thinking of you're probably.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Gonna I mean, you're gonna influence people, so like maybe
they will.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Now it was like, I love that this is not
related to this page at all, but I was thinking
of another sort of thing where it's like, I know,
we both have this with certain words that we like
if we hear a word or see a word, like,
we can't unhear it the way that it was said
in some movie or TV show or book or whatever.
You know what I'm talking about, right, Yeah, so one

(12:28):
word for me lately, and I had to like, sometimes
I'll like have a word that I'll hear the way
that the character said it, and I'll be like, what
is that from? And I cannot think of it. So
I'm just gonna say this for the record. And listeners said,
you know, if you have had the same experience the
word princess. In Shrek two, the Fairy Godmother says she's

(12:49):
a princess, and so the word princess anytime. I feel
like we've said the word princess a lot lately, we
said it on the patron Cast. You describe your cat
as a prince, says a lot. So I always hear
she's a princess.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, Well that's funny because I always hear Princess in
my head of like princess as well, but uh, I
mine and I'm having the same experience as you, like
where I can't quite place it, but it's definitely like
a male voice saying like the princess and I might
be from like Game of Thrones or something. I can't
totally place it.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
But there's quite a few Game of Thrones accents that
I've worked their ways into our lexicon, like I never knew. Yeah,
but yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Game of
Thrones for you talk.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
About inconsistent accents and Game of Thrones like regionally, I
don't think they really had a very consistent way of
I mean maybe like each character is consistent within themselves, but.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well I'll tell you each character
is not consistent with it itself if you're listening to
the audiobook of Game of Thrones.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Oh yeah, Royce, he has a way with Lady Catlin,
I mean lady Lady kate Lyne.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, anyway, that's I digress. I know that was a
long tangent, but just fun to talk about.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yes, all right, so thoughts on the page overall, We've
got our we want to look at our dialogue ratio.
I feel like the dialogue was there was a fair
amount of dialogue, but there was a fair amount of narrative,
so I think, yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, So how did we do the dialogue ratio? Last time?
We had a we had a fraction or a ratio, but.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
We said like out of ten, how many there were?

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Out of ten? Like I think we I think we
literally counted how many lines of dialogue there were? We
had two out of six, which I think, okay, what
we did because I like doing the dialogue ratio last week,
But now I don't remember what we said that Our
rules were so page five ninety seven, book four, you know,
two out of six, like you said, right, I don't

(14:59):
know what we meant by this. I think this one
is more like about Oh no, no, no, it was it
was said. It was words that were said.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
I thought we thought we were talking about how many lines.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Of I got narrative that I got confused because I
was like, you started talking about like how much dialogue
there was. I was like, did we talk about that
last week? Okay, yeah, it's uh, how many lines of dialogue?
That's the denominator and the numerator is right, the ones
that were not said, not the word said.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
So here, actually we only we don't have any.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, Hagrid's two lines of dialogue don't have a word
that count as a said or as a not said.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
I think it counts as a not as a said,
like because it's it's.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Not a unique word, not a weird word being used, right, yeah, okay,
it's like murmured or right interjected or something. Right, yeah,
ejaculated that's another favorite. But we do have one one
actual said, which is the word Dumbledore said cheerfully. Yeah.

(16:11):
Maybe the ratio should instead be number of SAIDs to
number of dialogue. Well, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
I guess we can't change it now, Okay, I get you, right,
but yeah, they're you're right, there's about if we were
actually doing a ratio of number of lines on the page,
which I don't think is going to be a continuing segment,
but it's about a third of the page's dialogue probably. Yeah, okay,
So I mean it's kind of an it's one of
those interesting pages where we get two scenes. I feel

(16:39):
like we don't always We've talked about this before. There
was there's been like one page where I think we
had three different places. This one has two, so that's
more than sometimes.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, I think that was from the third book.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, I think so too. I think it had was
that page with Bucky where they talked about Bucky.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, but we have for like the first basically kind
of maybe third or quarter of the page is Harry
talking to Hagrid in the hospital wing, and then we
get this second part, which is Harry coming into the
feast and Dumbledore speaking or starting to give the speech.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
So.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
I mean, and in between there's sort of like a
memory of Harry being held up by Madam Pomfrey's fussing.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
About oh poor, that that sounds so annoying that the
doctor wants to make sure you're okay before you leave.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oh oh, Harry has more important things to do, like
get to the get to that.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
He's like, come on, Madam Pomfrey, have a heart, come on,
be cool, right exactly, Harry, Harry needs to get down
to that.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
I mean, to be fair, I think maybe Madame Pomfrey
could have maybe started the process sooner, considering I don't
think there was any other patients up there.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
He was busy.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
That's the thing though, like who else is in the
hospital wing?

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Oh she was. I don't mean she was busy with patients,
she was just busy.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
She was charting.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, well, yes, we do know that's very important in
the world. But I was thinking more like, you know,
she's reading a book or you know, painting her nails
or something.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah. So yeah, this this that scene was probably like
one of my favorites in in this page.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
To think about Harry being sitting there annoyed, like how
she's insisting on giving him one last check up. Well, yeah,
that's because she's posing about right. Oh poor Harry, that
sounds Oh yeah, poor guy, that sounds so miserable.

Speaker 5 (18:40):
Before you leave, I will say, like being at the
hospital and waiting for the doctors to like come check
you out is an annoying process wheat or like the
person with the patient like it always is a slow,
long process.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
And usually in the Muggle world at least, that's been
because the doctors are overworked and have I.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Don't think that's here.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
That's the case here just because the number of people
at Hogwarts in general, let alone the number who are
in the hospital Wig with severe enough injuries to like
the right she's busy, Alice, she has things to do.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
I will say missed opportunity of the week. We we
have gotten to the feast, but we have not seen
any food yet.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah. I love when the missed opportunity is the food.
It almost as the beef. Yeah, I just I was
kind of kidding.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
I said that for your benefit because I know, I know,
I know you don't really like when that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Well, I don't know if this is a missed opportunity
so much as an inconsistency of the week. But we've
definitely talked about this before. But maybe that's the ojo
she didn't. Oh yeah, this could be the ojo she didn't.
But the setup of sent owls off to all your
parents souls.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, I thought I had that same thought. I was like, so, who, like, like,
I guess maybe maybe Lupin. Maybe okay, But surely Lily
did have some friend.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Well that's what I was gonna say. Wasn't like Mary
McDonald or something her friend.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
But I mean it could have sent an owl off
to Snape. I I'm just saying that was my friend.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
I don't I don't think he needed to send an owl.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
No, I think this was a no Joe, she didn't
because we were unclear at this point. Just how like
insular their little group was, I guess, like and how
like I don't think I just think it's an inconsistency,
like you said, like that hadn't fully been thought out
yet as far as which makes sense obviously, Like you're
not gonna she's I mean at this point in the series,

(20:55):
she's not thinking about that. I guess, yeah, that they
got so many photographs from like is this and also
like Lupin's been like living underground, hasn't he so like
did he carry all these photos with him all the time?

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Well, Harry's mother was there for him at a time,
no one.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Else you know, Snape's not parting with those pictures. Lupin
didn't want to part with those pictures. Well, I was
just thinking too, like yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
The concept of all these photographs, like you never see
anybody in the seven Harry Potter books with the camera,
do you for calling?

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah, I was gonna say, Colin creepy, Right, that's.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
The only one. And he's a Muggle and I feel
like he has the camera because he's a muggle.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Or not a sorry muggle born Yeah, so there's a
couple of different inconsistencies happening there. And it's I mean,
it's nice of Hagrid, it's a very nice gesture. It
just doesn't quite makes sense in the context of the
rest of the what we know about.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
The Harry couldn't speak, but Haggard understood. That's a pretty
big leap. I have to say, are we sure Haggard
understood Haggard's Probably That's probably the reason why Madam Bobre
needs to check on him longer. As he's told. Hagrid
told Madam bob he's having trouble speaking. I would I

(22:23):
would have a look at him if I were you.
I tried to speak to him and he wouldn't speak back.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
I just love the idea of Hagrid sending an owlder.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Snape lives like one hundred meters from him, right, Yeah,
And you.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Know Snape wouldn't want to help with this project.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Wouldn't have pictures of James and Lily together. No, he
probably does have a treasure trove trying of pictures of Lily.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, he's not gonna He wouldn't want to help Hagrid
with getting photos to Harry.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
What had wouldn't want to ask me, like, yeah, I mean,
I do think that there's a mention of somebody. I mean,
I could check the wiki and I will right now.
Mary McDonald is the name I have in mind. I
feel like.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Mary sure came through with these photos.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
I just remember that she's the one that, like the
death eater friends of Snape like did something to that.
Snape called it laugh and Lily was really mad at him.
Oh yeah, Sometime during her time at school, she was
viciously assaulted by Mulsiper, a pure bloods Yes, yeah, Mary,
Lily Evans heard about this incident and thought it that

(23:40):
thought it proved that Mulsaper was creepy with an evil
sense of humor.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
But well, yeah, he viciously attacked someone and assaulted I
don't think Lily was making too much of a reach
to say that he was creepy.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
And then Lily's friend Severus Snape callously described the incident
as a laugh and then price that they would think
that there's another mention of Mary in the Prince's Tale,
which is Mary told Lily that Snape was planning to
spend the night outside the entrance si Griffon door tower
to apologize to her after he called her a bud blood.

(24:15):
Oh what a what a grand gesture. Fans have speculated
that there may be a connection between Mary McDonald and
Mary catermul Why just because.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Their name Mary.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Oh, that's a pretty common name people, a muggle born
witch who was not only okay, no, they might be
the same person, right right, because kind of makes sense.
I guess if they were the same person, Mary McDonald
would have been a muggle Born and an obvious target
for a future death eater. However, there is no evidence
besides their first their shared first name, and the chance

(24:50):
that they shared a blood status.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
And the fact that they were both named Yeah, the
most common name in the world Mary.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
This footnote, Mary may have been a mugg Born, which,
as she was targeted by a known future death eater,
an organization known to violently hate Mugglebourne's muggles. Plus, thank
you for clarifying that. Right, Well, Mary came through, Let's
just put it that way. She really came through. Her
pictures of of Lily and James.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Together, good things. She was there to document their life together.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
This is the quote on the because you know how
the wiki loves to have a little quote at the
top of the page, mulciper, what do you see in him? Sev?
He's creepy. Do you know what he tried to do
to Mary McDonald the other day?

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Is that all from the Princess Tale? Or is any
of this from the video game?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
It's all from the Prince's Tale? Well, I mean the
stuff about uh, very well, I guess very catamul Yeah,
actually everything from this is from the real from the
Prince's Tale.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Okay, I just don't have that much of like a
detailed memory of all the princess I'm.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Proud of myself for remembering Mary McDonald's.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, that's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
The most common name world. Yeah, the name Mary is
the usual English form of Maria, which was the Latin.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Thank you? Is this the wiki? Oh my goodness. They
need to get a life.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, well, they were trying to fill up the word
count on this. Yes, they have a whole section on etymology.
They don't have anything on McDonald though. I feel like
that might have been more interesting to see. If there's
any other McDonald's in the series.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, I don't. It doesn't sound like there were.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
They certainly would have. Well, it does, say Magnus McDonald
is a possible family member, and he's mentioned in quidditchs
Through the Ages. Yeah, all right after that, thank you
Mary for coming through with the with the pictures for Hagrid.
All your parents' old school friends Snape loopen and Mary McDonald.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Oh yeah, it's I'm I mean, yeah, good, good for Mary.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
He's creepy. Sev.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Yeah, that's putting it mildly, Hagrid, I sent to now
alter Sev.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Sev came through with the pictures.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Okay, And just to be clear, like I think that's
a really nice gift that Haggard gave. That's not the
issue I have.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
It's the best part is that it has the pictures
of Lily and James spinning around and laughing.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
So when we answer the question was this in the movie, uh,
we know that that was. And then also the scene
in the in the Great Hall kind of is I
don't know if we get exactly Dumbledore saying those exact words.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
I have to say one of the other o jo
she didn'ts on this page. It's not really an ojo
she didn't, but how Harry's sitting in a seat between
Rond Hermione like they're just sitting three in a row,
Like who are they facing? And like are they just talking?
I mean, I guess that's sort of the nature of
these tables. Like sometimes when you're at picnic tables you
do kind of just talk to the people you're sitting
next to. But it's a little weird to have the

(28:13):
three of them in a row like that, Like, why
isn't it just a cross on hermione?

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Right?

Speaker 2 (28:18):
True?

Speaker 1 (28:18):
I didn't even think of that, and clearly Joe didn't either.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Well, it does fit well for Mary Grant and Prey
for drawing it, that's true.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
So is that the WWGPD.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Well, yeah, I want to talk a little bit about
We talked about this last week when we found out
we were doing page three oh four, but that this
is all from chapter seventeen, The Man with Two Faces.
This is, yeah, a weird thing that this all of
this aftermath of The Man with Two Faces. Now, interestingly too,
the Man with Two Faces like sort of starts. I

(28:50):
guess it's when we get the queer ol reveal. But
it's like it's like almost you kind of expect the
Man with Two Faces to be part of like to
take a little bit longer. I don't know, but yeah,
so I was picturing, yeah, Harry Rotten Hermione in a
line at the staff or sorry, at the Gryffindor table,
or we could have the picture of the book. That

(29:11):
might be a little easier for MG.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, I almost feel like I've seen that before. But
maybe it's just me, you know, blending a few different
pictures she's done together. But I know she likes to
do a good old Yeah, you might be photographed.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
You might be thinking of the actual movie picture of
the book.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
No, I'm thinking of like a Mary grand Prex illustration
of a photo. I think it's like in the sixth book.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
When Girl of the Marauders, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Or something.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
So I can picture her doing a photo album. I
don't necessarily think it needs to be Lily and James
dancing with a bunch of crows around them.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
But why not?

Speaker 1 (29:52):
That is so beautiful and touching. Why were there so
many crows around them?

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Well, because that's just part of the Hogwarts aesthetic, right.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
And they definitely looked like they were twenty year younger
in that photo.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
They definitely didn't look forty oh, wearing those like black
pea coats, turtlenecks. Oh they were classy young adults. Yes
they were. They were like, I don't know, what's that style,
mad or something?

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah, okay, all right, so you think sure, I think
for the leather covered book with the photograph in it, like,
I think that does seem like a cute illustration.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, so we could have hagrids twinkling eyes behind or not.
I like how Harry opened the book curiously.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Oh yeah, that's almost the humble brag of the week.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Oh, Harry's so curious. Oh, we could start calling him curious.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Harry adverbs on this page.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
We had curiously, Yeah, curiously and cheerfully right, yeah, there
was not a lot of other stuff on here, so
loudly everyone started talking loudly. True, that's about it. So,
I mean, I know we're normally doing it for dialogue,
but I do like curiously. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
I think curiously is good, Like it's it's some unique
one and it's kind of cute.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Curiously or run curiously, I wonder. Oh yeah, I like
that one too, and it fits well for the hubble
brag as well. Harry opened it curiously. Oh Harry, you
are a student taut you.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
I mean there was, yeah, that he should have been
thirst for knowledge couldnot be quenched. Oh, he doesn't just
approach things lazily. He's he's got a curious mind.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Say what she will about Harry's intelligence. You can't deny
that he is curious.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
He always wants to learn.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yes, when he sees something, he immediately gets a lot
of questions in his mind about what it could be,
what's what it means, the deeper of implications, all of that.
That's just that's Harry.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
That's Harry for you.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
He's sure curious.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
There's a couple other ones on here that could kind
of work.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
First of all, I think quite a few.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yeah, when Harry slipped into the seat between Ron and Hermion,
he was like, wow, he's graceful.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Oh yeah, well he's he's very sneaky too, like he
could be like a pi or something.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
He is.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Sure subtle the way. Well, he's really slipped into that seat,
partially because he's so skinny. It's really too I think,
like Harry.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
The skinny legend sliding into the seat.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
I thought that a pretty obvious humble brag here was
to celebrate Sutherins winning the House Cup for the seventh
year in a row that's just lifted there, speaking of
slipping slipped in there casually. Yeah. Also, I mean, obviously the.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
It tried to ignore the fact that people were standing
up to look at him. It's like, oh, wow, Harry,
are you sure that's what's actually happening, right, And then.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
When Harry walked in there was a sudden hush. Everyone
got so quiet.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
I also thought that we already discussed this one at length,
but that all your parents' school friends, and it's like,
oh wow, they had so many friends.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
I also thought the handsome leather covered book.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Good job, good job, Hagrid.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
You picked out a real nice quality book, very handsome book.
And then another pretty obvious one too. Hopefully your heads
are all a little fuller than they were. Oh well,
at my.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
School, Yeah, you will learn a lot while you're here,
when you're under my tutelag a lot.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Hopefully you learned a thing or two about a thing
or two.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
But yeah, I think my favorite is definitely the first
one we talked about.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yeah, well, I also like the handsome book.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yeah, congrats, Haggard.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Way to pick out it.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
It's like way to pick out a great book.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
It's like such like so when Baltemore says it about Cedric,
such a handsome book.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Also, though we didn't even discuss this one, but the
Harry couldn't speak, but Hagrid understood. Good for you, Hagrid.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Oh, Hagrid. He you know, say what you will about Hagrid.
Harry's curious and Hagrid is intuitive. Hagrid knows. Hagrid's got
to keep emotional intelligence.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
He can just he can sense that kind of thing.
You don't even have to say a word, and he.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Will know exactly.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
He's You can tell you one thing about Hagrid, he's
gonna understand exactly.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
You don't have to even speak.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yeah, so there's there's a lot of humble bragging going
on on this page. How about Bird of the Week?
I think one that I thought was sort of rude
was when Hagrid said Nuja didn't have any photographs? Did
you have to rub that in?

Speaker 2 (35:27):
I didn't think of that. That's a that's a great bird.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
It's like, Okay, Hagrid, you don't have to remind him, Yeah,
he doesn't have any You didn't have any.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
It's not his fault. Oh, I don't think we're gonna
top that that's really good.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Nubia didn't have any.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Okay way to rub it in.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Yeah, sorry, he was an orphan who never got to
really know his parents.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
And whose fault is that haggard top owls to all
his old school friends a lot sooner than.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
This, No kidding? That was rude, wasn't it?

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Okay? I thought that course he should have sacked me instead.
Was a good self burn. That's not.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Also, I mean Dumbledore saying like you have the whole
summer ad to get them nice and empty, right, kind
of a burn.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
But you knows you didn't have to. That's definitely the
best one. But also I forgot one more humble brag here,
which is before we sink our teeth into a delicious feast.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah, yeah, doumble door, were you the one cooking in
the kitchens to get this ready? Then why are you bragging?

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Right?

Speaker 2 (36:42):
You could just thank the house elves and move on.
It's not the don't take credit for it.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
All right, Well, let's go ahead and take a quick
ad break. We'll come back and we'll finish out the
rest of our segments. All right, So we have a
few more things to get to here. We haven't done
band name or album name yet, so that's maybe maybe
next up.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
What do you think I think we might as well
jump right into it.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, I mean, like we said, I feel like wheezing
waffle has to be something, yeah, or for an album,
Like it could be wheezing waffle for band name, or
it could be an old man's wheezing waffle for an
album name.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
So either one.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
I think let's do that as a band name. Okay,
any others that jumped it right out at you, this
is kind.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Of a phrase. That's not like we're gonna change the phrase.
We're not gonna change it, but like it's all we
don't change it. That is changing it, but it's not
the way it's gonna be. We're putting two words together
that aren't really okay. I was thinking feast alone.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
What so what were you?

Speaker 2 (37:50):
What's your thing? Feast alone?

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Okay, So, but I don't know what you were pointing out?

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Well that it's the phrase, like it doesn't it's not
the act. You know, the verb feast it's here, it's
used as a noun, but like, right, okay, I think
the band would be like feast alone, and it's more
like a verb.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, Okay, I see what you're saying. What about like
old school friends?

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Yeah, that's fine. It's pretty similar to twins parents and
two best friends.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
But yeah, I think for a band or for an
album name, I would like to do smiling and waving.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Okay, that's fine. What about wizard photographs? Yeah, that would
be kind of fun for a band or an album?

Speaker 1 (38:42):
I think maybe an album?

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, I think so too. How about nice and Empty,
and then that would be a band or album? I think, well,
how many do we need still for each one?

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Well, if we're not doing old school friends, then we
need to.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Old school friends. That there. I just don't think it's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Yeah, I think one last check up.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
That could be just looking at that one as well.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
I think that would be a good album name.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
What do you think? Okay? Yeah, so then nice? Then
we need one of the oh okay, nice and Empty. Yeah,
I feel like that might be a band name.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Okay, one last album name is all we need, all right?
I mean this is kind of long, but what if
it was what a year it has been?

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Mm hmm. I guess I feel like we can maybe
find something better. It could just be another year gone.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Yeah, I think that's better. That actually sounds like an
album name.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah, all right, perfect. So we've got our band names Wheezing, Waffle,
Feast alone, old school friends, and nice and empty, and
then our album names smiling and waving wizard photographs one
last checkup and another year gone.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
They like one must check ups. I just love Harry
complaining about one last checko he had been held up
on Madam Palmfrey.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Another kind of the week of Harry right, feeling so
annoyed at Madame Pomfrey.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Right, and he doesn't sing it about God forbid. She
doesn't let him go until she's sure he's good to go, right,
m VB.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
I think it's got to be all those owls that
went all over the country, right.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
I was gonna say that too. Those owls were going
off to Offter Snape, Mary McDonald and Loopin. So those
owls really came through.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Those owls did their work.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
I like picturing Haggard going up to the owlry and
like putting a little note on all the owls legs, sig.
Harry doesn't have any pictures on his mother and father
didn't have any. You didn't have any, You lose a orphan.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
I thought that was I thought that was pretty pathetic,
if you ask.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Me, I thought it. I thought a boy ought to
have some pictures that I knew you didn't have any. Oh, Harry, yeah, friend,
right another Sorry, I know We've got a zillion humble brags,
but I'm just looking again back at the very beginning
of the page that Dumbledore gave me the day off. Grats, Yeah,

(41:34):
day off from what like walking around the ground.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Hey, that's a real job, keeper of the keys. That's
a full time gig.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
That's not just the you know, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
When you when you work and live in the same place,
it's pretty hard to have those boundaries between your job
and your personal life.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
True, So that when Dumbledore gave him the day off,
that was Oh.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
He took advantage of that.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
He did.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
He made hey while that the sun was out.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Isn't that on his days of working. That's what he's
doing too, right.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
And this is when he's Dumbledore gave him the day
off to make this book.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
He spent all day making this book.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
That's sort of a burn too. Doubles like, oh, you're
gonna need a whole day to do that, Hagrid. Other
people could do it in their you know, in their
evenings after they finish work. But you're gonna need.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
A day yeah, I mean, to be fair, it's partially
because it's such a handsome book.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Well he he definitely he didn't squander that day off, right,
All right, Okay, well we've got just a few more
before we get to everyone's favorite segment. We do we
want to give a page score yet? Or do we
do that at the end.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
I think we should do that at the end.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Okay, how about are we taking this page with us?
We didn't really answer that.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
It's it's not I mean, I get okay, Well, okay,
the photographs are important. If we didn't take this page
with us, then we would not have the beautiful photographs
of Lily and James Spinnager her he.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
Would still not have any No, you didn't have any.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
I was gonna ask, does Hagrid maybe you remember this?
I feel like it's not addressed. Hagrid doesn't know about
the mirror of Ea said that we know of right,
like if Harry's experience with the mirror of Bara said yeah,
I don't think so, but I don't know unless he
and Dubledore had some sort of like, well, when Doubledore
gave her heart, Yeah, he said, Harry doesn't have any

(43:45):
pictures of his parents.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Yeah, I don't think so. So, yeah, he doesn't even
think he's seen.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
It, Okay, because I was thinking that's part of what
makes this such a thoughtful gift is that it's something
Harry's been yearning for, you know, right.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
That's true. No, I I mean, yes, we're making fun
of it a lot, but I do think this was
very thoughtful of right.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
I think that that part of this page is necessary
for the series. However, the h Harry sliding, slipping into
his seat and all that is kind of background for Yeah,
having everybody stand up to look at congrats Harry.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Yeah, he's such a celebrity, our new celebrity.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Well there's also I know we're not supposed to look
ahead to pages, but it happened to look at when
the I remember this too, but when they're at King's
Cross and Ron's like still famous, Yeah remember that? Yes,
So the same kind of moment of like, yes, nothing

(44:52):
is like like what did Ron think that Harry would
like be a background character? And everybody but at the
end of a year, just because they'd better round him
for a year. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
It does feel a little bit weird that people are
like paying so much.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
Note, well, it's because he was absent for a few
days and they know that something big happened, they don't
really know all the details. It's a weird picturing like
or trying to like get into the heads of these
other random Hogwarts students, like right.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Like all the NPCs.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Yeah, exactly, well, because it's like Doubledore talks about all
this stuff, but the I mean, I know, I've seen
tiktoks like this where it's like Dubledore's going talking about
like Neville showing courage to stand up to his friends,
and everyone's like, what what is he talking about? Right? Exactly?

Speaker 1 (45:44):
All right, Well, I think Martha that it is time
for everyone's favorite segment. When I say w you say
w W W T C you oh t w B.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Yeah, it's time.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
I tried to opt for not repeating him. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Yeah, well that's better except for that it's kind of
not following our own rules because we say, when I
say w.

Speaker 6 (46:16):
W W w w t t q q q q
oh oh t t w w b B, it's so smooth.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Oh, it just rolls off the tugue perfectly.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Yes, all right, So what do we think for the
w W t Q q O t w B this week?

Speaker 2 (46:37):
Well, the problem with this segment, No, there's no problem
with the segments.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
There's no problem with the segment.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
Oftentimes, I'm only I'm only thinking of things we've already
talked about. Like I'm sure there's a core question of
like who did Hagrid write owls too for pictures of games?

Speaker 1 (46:54):
That was my thought as well, right, Or like what
was Madame Pomfrey so busy?

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah? Or like what do the not what do the
Hogwarts NPCs know about? You know, what's gone on in
the last couple of days. So I don't know what's
the best one here, or if we're something that we
haven't discussed yet that we could find. I'm struggling.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
I mean, I think I think my instinct is to say, like,
who did Haggard get photos from?

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Right? But we already talked about that. I know, Oh, okay,
what about this? What is the significance of Slytherin winning
the House Cup for seven years in a row rather
than like why why is it seven years? Rather than
ever since? Uh? Tom Riddle was denied a chop at Awkwards,

(47:45):
you know, like, uh, I feel like since Charlie Weasley,
well yeah, so it's like, yeah, there'd be somebody coming
in to say, like, the last time that Slytherin did
not win was the year that Bill Weasley was head,
although I don't think it would be right. I mean,
let's we couldn't take the math again. I also do
a time on Bill Weasley's age.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
So they would be winning. This would have been their
seventh so they really only win six, right, So okay,
that's kind of interesting, like symbolically with the magical numbers,
you know, the most powerfully magic number.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Yeah, so okay, Bill is ten years older than Ron,
so I guess that would actually make sense. The last
time he was so I guess he was. He graduated
from Hogwart graduated. He finished at Hogwarts in nineteen seventy eight, which.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
Is seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
Oh sorry, eighty eight. Uh okay, yeah, because he was
born nineteen seven November nineteen seventy Okay, so then again
we're twigg this Bill Weasley math.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Bill Weasley math is not ever going to be pretty
on the show Math.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
Okay, Okay, No, he finished in eighty nine. He finished
in eighty nine.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Well, and I said, not since Charlie Weasley. The only
thing that I was I was just quoting Hagrid. But
I think that it was more of like a quidditch thing.
It wasn't necessarily about the House Cup. Well, right, but
I get also confused about the House Cup versus the
Quidditch Cup. And I know we've talked.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
About that before too, right, Well, it's also confusing with
Charlie then, because if Bill was at Hogwarts until eighty nine,
that would like I guess Charlie just finished at Hogwarts.
That's not since Charlie Weeds last, not since last year.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Yeah there was another Oh.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Yeah, what like I just realized that. But I think
that's the that's the case, right, unless Charlie's just one
year younger than or than Bill. I don't know even then,
that's just two years ago, Okay, yeah, Charlie. Charlie attended
until nineteen ninety one, which is when Harry starts, right,
not yeah, Charlie Weeds.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
I think they just mean like they they haven't had
a good there's well yeah, but who else, like nobody
else had a chance. Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
Know, how confused on that?

Speaker 1 (50:09):
And how did Charlie get out in the real world
get with his job with the dragons so fast?

Speaker 2 (50:14):
I could question.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
Curious bringing Norbert back to Hogwarts like six months after
he grow.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
He achieved at least one new having earned and exceeds
expectations like creatures.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
Exceeds expectations. Wow, he was a genius.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Okay, sorry, I'm on the Charlie Weasley and it says
following the war, Charlie did not marry or have children,
as he was more interested in studying dragons than in
forming a romantic attachment. Journalist Rita Skeeter wondered what the
reasons behind his prolonged celibacy were.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Okay, Riada, mind your own business. I don't think anybody
cares what the Weasleys are doing, So why is she.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Poking around his prolonged celibacy.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
That's gotta be from the video game.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
No, it's from more. We don't know about his prolonged
celibacy just because he didn't get you're not married. Rita
Skeeter wondered about his prologue. Wondered what the reasons behind
his prolonged celibacy. We knew he was aow, what was the.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Reason behind his prolonged celibacy?

Speaker 2 (51:35):
Okay, this is from a potter More article. It's like
a published it's like a picture of an article published
on July eighth, twenty fourteen by Rita Skeeter. Dumbledore's army
reunites at Quidditch World Cup Final. Yeah it says all

(51:58):
it's okay, it doesn't actually okay, it just says Charlie
parentheses Dragon Wrangler still unmarried? Uh m dash, why question mark?
That's all it says his photong celibacy. So the wiki's
doing a little bit of heavy lifting there.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
The wiki likes to go rogue sometimes as far as
reading between the lines.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Wait, like, just all it says is he's unmarried? Why? Like,
that's not wondering about his prologued self. But okay, uh wiki?

Speaker 1 (52:31):
And oh my gosh, he was so old at that point,
wasn't he like almost thirty?

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Oh yeah, he's actually thirty thirty two? I think, Wow,
an unmarried bachelor. It's twenty fourteen, and he was born
in eighty two. Wow, thirty two and unmarried? Why well,
the Wizarding World.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
You usually get married at eighteen.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Oh sorry, he was born in seventy two, so he
was forty two.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Okay, oh gosh, he's he's getting old for sure.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
Still unmarried.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
Why I wonder why he has this prolonged celibacy.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
I wonder why he's prolonged his celibacy.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Okay, well, so the qqotw or sorry, the WWT qqot
w B would be the.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Qqot w WB would be right. Why what was the
last time that a house other than slither in one
the Hogwarts?

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Right? And why did it go so long? Right?

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Because it seems like it was all of Charlie Weasley's
school year, like the first time. Yeah, if we think
about it, Charlie just finished, so it was literally his
first year at Hogwarts was the last year when Bill
was a third year.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
You know what, I'm starting to see some connections here.
I'm wondering if that gave him a sense of being
emasculated to never win the house cut, and so then
that led to his prolonged celibacy.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
I think that's a very good theory. I'm also laughing
at the wiki because it has the quote at the top,
but it's from Hagrid. How is your brother? Charlie? I
liked him a lot, great with animals. Well, you saw
him three months ago when he was still a senior
or sorry, his seventh year.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Oh it's been it's been so long.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
Oh boy, Oh that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Yeah, that's sure interesting. That's true. Okay, who is our
real weirdo this week?

Speaker 2 (54:32):
Do you think?

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Oh, Hagrid, he's there so, I mean it could be, honestly,
that weird.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
It could be Madame Pomfrey for fussing about so much.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking too. I mean,
Dumbledore is also a possibility.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Yeah, that's always a possibility. He doesn't.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
Let's give it to Madame Pomfrey. She doesn't. She doesn't
come around all that often.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Oh, she was being so weird, making sure Harry it
was okay to go. Harry.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
Sure thought she was weird, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
He said, stop being so weird. I'm fine.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
He was like, back off, weirdo.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
He was like, you're just you're being weird.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
I'll say it all right. And I have to assume
we're not going to be ranking this higher than Elsdale.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
No, no, I don't think we will be. I have
to say this page is not fantastic by any means.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
No, it's fine, but when we're in the like falling
action slash resolutions.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Usually that's the problem we do have to give. But
I think we can always give a moral of the week.
What is the moral of this page?

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (55:46):
What do you think the moral is here? Oh? I
mean something about sending off owls to all your parents,
like you know.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
I mean, if we're looking for a nice moral, I
think like showing like the thoughtfulness OF's gift to Harry.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. If we want
to be more serious, I'm so serious, something about like
a thoughtful gift doesn't have to cost a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Yeah, you can just book that was a handsome book,
but I mean it could be just so handsome because
he spent a full day working on it.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
That's true. Yeah, No, I I think it's something like
a thoughtful gift does not have to cost much money.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
That is so true. Way to go, Hagrid. All right,
So I think then we just have to kind of
give the page its score. We also, we already said
it's not beating there at that. But what do you
think is the page.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Thinking of five? I'm thinking of five? What do you think?

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Yeah? That seems about right. It's not like a bad page.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
It's just kind of dull, exactly. I don't I don't
hate it by any means. But it's not anything to
write hope about, not anything to write an owl about, exactly.
All right.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
So I think all we have left then is to
do our dice for next week.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
I'm so excited.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
And when I say next week, I mean about an
hour from now when we record.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
We're not just doing it right.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
Away, about ten minutes from now.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
All right, Seven sided die is first. I've got it
right here, Okay, roll away? All right? We got five?
All right, alright, so now we do ten sided die? Right? Yeah, no,
I don't oh yeah, not landed on the floor. All right.

(57:34):
Four is the first number, okay, nine all right? Two?

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Four, ninety two? All right?

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Exciting, it's kind of middle. So we want to predict
where that's going to be. I'm gonna guess hob Saint Mungo's.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
For ninety two. I'm trying to think, sorry, we're of
the Phoenix, what that could be? Yeah, that's that's.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
A pretty good guess. No, using your book, No, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
I'm just like totally drawing a blank on what even
happens in the fifth book. I mean maybe something like
the Christmas scene with the da or like the Nargoles scene,
something like that.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
Okay, yeah, I'm trying to kind of place exactly how
many pages Book five is. I know it's the longest.
It's like eight.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
Hundred and sixty or something like that, so it's not
a bad guess.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
I think that would maybe be around there. So okay,
Well we will see shortly, and listeners you will see
in a week.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Yeah, you guys have to wait a whole week, and
you're gonna have to wait two weeks to find out
the results of this band name poll.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
Wow, it's gonna be a tough, long wait, but I
hope you can all make it.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Like I said, just scoot back in your seats you'll
be at the edge of your seats eventually, but probably
don't want to be too close to the edge right
now because you're gonna have to wait.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
Yeah, exactly. All right, Well that brings us to the
end of this week's show.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
