Speaker 1 (00:08):
May I have your attention?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Please?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Well, the real Weird Sisters.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Please stand up.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
We're gonna have a problem here were the Weird Sisters.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Were the real weird Sisters.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
All you other weird sisters are fine, but not the fakers. 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 four hundred and ninety second page of
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Very excited
(00:40):
to talk about a sort of later in the book page.
We're over halfway through the book and that's not something
we've talked about for Order of the Phoenix yet. So
another o, Pat, we're back and it's a little bit
later in the series. Yes, and Harry is going to
Harry on this page. I'm excited about that. Yes, he
is going to Harry. He's very very in his fifth
(01:03):
book Fantasy. He's living that out and on this page. Yeah,
that's to put it mildly, that's what he's doing here.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So yeah, so we had made our predictions last week,
and it's kind of funny because I feel like we
kind of take the happy medium between us. You were closer,
but we I had predicted that this would be like
the Da and Harry's first kiss moment, and you had
predicted that it would be at Saint Mungo's. It turns
(01:34):
out it's right in between when Harry's starting to freak
out and think that he's possessed and that he needs
to leave, right.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So it is from the chapter Christmas on the Closed Ward.
So I got excited when I saw that chapter title
because I was like, I was right Saint Mungo's. But
it is before they go to Saint Mungo's, right on
the way to Grimoald Place. So it does have that
beautiful chapter art of one of the house elves heads
on the trophy with it Santa Beard. That was a
(02:05):
kind of a oh no, she Grand Prey didn't Oh Mary,
Oh Mary, Yeah exactly, Mary, did you know? Yeah, that's
exactly what it is. I mean, it's it's actually it's
a pretty like well done image. It's just creepy looking.
(02:26):
I guess it's supposed to be creepy looking. Such long,
Such long ears you.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Have if it's supposed to be creepy, She.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Succeeded, Yeah my, what big ears you have?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, the better to creep you out with.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah my, what a long chin you have? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well it's very festive. It has been decorated to look
like Santa.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, and I like the star hanging from its nose.
That's the cherry on top.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I think maybe that was creatures decorating.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, I think it was maybe Molly's decorating. Okay, well,
we previewed this last week, but we do not have
any housekeeping this week, and that's because we just recorded
Book one, page three hundred four, about ten minutes prior
to recording this, so we do not have the band
results or the album results.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I know that's why you're tuning in right now, probably.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
But you're gonna have to wait one more week. We
will have those results next week, but we do not
have them for you yet. So I apologize. But we
did warn you, don't I did warn you not to.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I think I don't remember you warning them, so that
would have been nice if you would have.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I did warn you not to scream.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, yeah, okay, Well anyway, yeah, no, no, band results yet,
but they will be here in the future.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They will be Yeah, So without further ado, I think
we're gonna jump right in. And like you said, there's
a lot of hairy inner turmoil on this page. So
am I going to read that as? Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yes, that will be Harry's voice reading.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
That, okay, even though he's not speaking, it's his thoughts. Okay.
So this actually we should have said this when I'm
talking about this chapter art. This is half the page
is taken up by this beautiful chapter art. And Christmas
on the Closed Ward is part of the seeing the
title there, that's another half of the page. So this
(04:23):
is our first first time that we're doing a first
page of a chapter.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Right, So when Jim Dale reads this out, I should
read chapter twenty three that all of that, right.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I guess? So yeah, okay, all right, so.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Let's jump right in chapter twenty three.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Christmas on the Closed Ward.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Was this white?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Dumbledore would no longer meet Harry's eyes. Did he expect
to see Voldemort staring out of them? Afraid perhaps that
their vivid green might suddenly turn to scarlet with catlike
slits for pupils. Harry remembered how this snake like face
of Voldemort had once forced itself out of the back
of Professor Quirrel's head, and he ran his head over
(05:07):
the back of his own, wondering what it would feel
like if Voldemort burst out of his skull. He felt dirty, contaminated,
as though he were carrying some deadly germ, unworthy to
sit on the underground train back from the hospital with innocent,
clean people whose minds and bodies were free of the
taint of Voldemort. He had not merely seen the snake.
(05:30):
He had been the snake. He knew it now.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
And then a.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Truly terrible thought occurred to him, a memory bobbing to
the surface of his mind, one that made his insides
writhe and squirm like serpents.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
What's he after apart from followers, stuff he could only
get by stealth, like a weapon, something you didn't have
last time. That's it. That's it, I did, missneak. I
happened to well, I guess kind of reading get again,
seeing the phrasing of on the way back from the hospital,
(06:04):
they have actually been to Saint Mungo's already. But I
when I had said at Saint Mungo's, I was picturing
like actually Christmas at Saint Mungo's. I wasn't picturing the
phrase it when Harry overhears the conversation that moody and.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, and I was. I was a little bit like
confused about the placement of this too, because I was
thinking it was before, but you're right, it was after
they've been to Saint Mungos, So you were closer, you
were closer.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, but I wasn't picturing that first time at Saint Mungo's.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So really, thank you for being honest about that.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yes, this is a weird page. This is this is
just proof that the dice we do what the dice
tells us to do. We don't pick and choose what
page we're talking about. True, that the Dice don't lie exactly.
And yeah, I think this is a very internal page.
It's pretty much one hundred percent Harry's thoughts on this page.
(06:54):
And it's Harry Zone. You know, inner turmoil that he's
experiencing in the fifth book is one of his uh
big conflicts that he has with himself, is he's starting.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
To the weapon.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Well we haven't even gotten to that yet. And that's
that's the conclusion. The terror, the truly terrible thought occurred
to him. That's what's leading to that.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I have to say I had one of my most
fluent Jim Dale readings.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah you did. I mean it helped that it was
only half a page, yeah, but it was like.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Almost all Jim Dale reading that out versus the dialogue
at all.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah. So dialogue ratio we got zero for zero because
there's no so well, I guess zero zero for two
because there's technically two lines of dialogue, but neither of
them has a action or a verb for it.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
So right, and it's kind of like you know, Harry
remembering dialogue, so it's not exactly Yeah, it's not like
live dialogue.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Right, this is the weird page. I'm sure we'll make
a meal out of it, but it's I mean, honestly,
as far as word count goes, this is probably similar
to a page from the first book. Right.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, I was thinking that because when you look at
these pages, like the normal pages in the Order of
the Phoenix, they're much longer than the normal page in
the right Sorcerer's Stone. It's like the font is smaller,
there's more words per page. Yeah, so I think, like, yes,
this is it's a little shorter, I think than your
average sorcerer's stone page, but it's still it's not like
(08:19):
super far off from that, right.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
But yeah, this is our first time that we're having
a page that is not a full page.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, and it is.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
The font smaller? Where is it in the book? The
verso or something that says what font size this is?
Is it at the end of the book.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I think so. I just when I look at it,
I think it looks smaller. But maybe I could be wrong.
It's about that eyes.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
It doesn't say in my book, or at least I
can't find the page that says what size it's in.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, I don't. I don't see it in mine either.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
But I'm comparing the two pages. I think they're the
same size.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
There's a lot more words on the page though.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, yeah, because it's I feel like it's maybe smaller
margins and it's a wider page, and.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I think like the spacing between lines is smaller. Oh,
the font size is definitely smaller. When I opened it,
I could tell immediately. Really, it's like a whole point smaller.
You think you need to ask your your printer who
lives with you.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I think that's the same size.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
No, it's definitely bigger in the let's look up.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Look up what it says standard, well American?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, and are you looking at two hardcover books? No,
that's the problem for Oh okay, so me, I so
I have two hardcover books and definitely smaller in the
So maybe if you have the paperback, I bet maybe
then they are the same. If it's paperback to.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Hard pay it does say the first American edition was
published in our Sorcererstnas published twelve point font, but the
fifth book was printed an eleven point five point font,
which caused some reader to satisfaction. According to the AI overview,
I like it better that it's huge in the welve
is pretty big. But okay, I'm going to take a
(09:56):
picture of the comparison here.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Well, I'm guessing the paper back they probably do have
smaller because the paperback, it's a smaller book. You have
to shrink it down, right, Yeah, you know it's in
the book is not as tall, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
But I mean yeah, the difference between eleven point five
and twelve also could be possibly could I could be
missing that right now, But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
No, I think next time you come to my house.
I want you to compare my two books, and you'll
you'll immediately see it. It's so obvious.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Okay, yeah, because you don't immediately see it with what
I just sent you a picture. You tell me if
you don't immediately see it, or if you do immediately
see it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, No, I think they're the same. But I think
it's because, like I said, they had to shrink it
down for the paperback.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Okay, well, that that's our fond talk of the week.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yes, and it was well worth it.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, but I thought there was a page in this
book that's Maybe it's just in the hard backs. Oh yeah.
It does say at the end of the fifth book
that the sorry, the text was set in eleven point
five point Adobe Garamond.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Does it say at the end of your first book
the paperback because I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Have a Payt'm sorry the hardback.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
My paperback doesn't have a page like that. My paperback
ends with a preview chamber of secrets, and then maybe the.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Author you've you've got a second rate book there, ye know.
My card back does say twelve point Adobe Garamont.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Okay, well, yeah, this book is a Scholastic The visual.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, you've got like a knockoff.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It cost five ninety nine and it was well worth it. Yeah, well,
I don't think I paid five ninety nine. I think
garage sale or something for six ninety nine. I'm just kidding,
all right, So let's talk about the I don't know,
I don't know what to talk about first, because it's
(11:50):
so much narrative and so little content.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Well, like I said, it is Harry Harrying. I mean
I get I always really did, like strongly strongly relate
to him in this moment because I just can imagine
like the amount of stress he would feel and like
feeling all alone with this idea that like he might
have been the cause of mister Weasley's attack, Like that
(12:17):
would be really scary. So I always like strongly like
sympathized with him here. But it's also really funny.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I just strongly sympathize with any scene that has Harry
in his head, because that's just I mean, I just
think the author does a really good job of illustrating
his thoughts and like being realistic about how a teenager
thinks about things. And again, one of those things where
we get frustrated when people say to Harry's not a
smart person because he does actually intellectualize and think about
(12:44):
a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
He's very introspective.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
For yes, yes he is. Let's go ahead and talk
about Hermion, he's beaded bag. If we're going to take
this page with us, because I have to say, this
specific page doesn't have too much that's me.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Well, is it in the movie? I think not really.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I mean I.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Don't fully remember how Harry worrying about being the snake
is in the movie. Like I think it is a
little bit, but not.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Not nearly as much. And that's not why people don't
think of Harry being this thoughtful person.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, so, I mean I think like some of some
of the aspects that I would take with us are
the fact that we do get to see Harry's thought
process and that it feels pretty realistic. But yeah, it
goes on. I mean, it goes on for quite a while.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I don't necessarily think this particular page is absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Crucial, right. I also think it what this is in
reaction to, if I remember correctly, is Harry overhearing the
conversation between Moody and Missus Weasley and Lupin. I think
in the in the hospital where we're or sorry in St. Mungo's,
where Moody says like, well, if you know who's possessing him,
so that I do think. I don't even think that's
(13:56):
like really in the movie. There's very little of this
that's in the movie because it's so focused on the
action of what's happening.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Right, Yeah, No, I mean I think it doesn't really
translate very well to a movie because, like you said,
it's not really very action heavy. It's just like Harry thinking.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
So right, right, let's jump into humble bragg of the week.
I had one right away that came to me. Maybe
you wont do too, But it's when Dumbledore won't meet
Harry's eyes. Did he expect to see Voldemort staring out
of them, afraid perhaps that their vivid green might turn
suddenly to scarlet? Yeah? Like, okay, Harry, your beautiful vivid
(14:33):
green eyes piercing vivid green eyes.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yes, that was my thought too. I'm like, are you
Harry's sitting here stewing, But at the same time, he
can't he can't miss a chance to talk about how
vivid his eyes are.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
My vivid green eyes might suddenly turn to scarlet. That's
the one part about this inner dialogue. And I'm like,
is that really how Harry's thinking right now? The vivid
green of my eyes.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Like my vivid green eyes. And he's like, well, yeah,
Dumbledore would be worried about seeing them turn to scarlet
when they originally are such vivid green.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, they're such a beautiful, vivid green.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That would be scary, scary to think about them turning scary.
To change from that vivid green into another color would
be a travesty, right.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Another kind of brief humble brag here is the unworthy
to sit on the underground train back from the hospital
with innocent, clean people whose minds and bodies were free
of the taint of Voldemort. Yeah, a double humble brag,
like Harry's been tainted by Buldemort. And then also they
are so free and clean, and.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
How he's like calling them like so innocent, Oh, you innocent,
naive people. Right, it's kind of a burn of the week, actually, yeah,
it kind of is, like, Wow, those naive people.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
They have no idea.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
They just Harry's got the weight of the world on
his shoulders and they haven't a care in the world.
I'm sure I'm sure none of them have problems either.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It's Harry. I'm sure. I mean, nobody's been tainted by
Voldemord like he has.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
This is sort of another humble brag here. He had
not merely seen the snake. He had been the snake.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, congrats. Oh and also he knew it now, Harry
knows it for a congrats.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Harry, you or you know what you're talking about. You've
not merely seen it, You've been it.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Another another stretch of a humble brag here is Harry
remembered how the snake like faces of board had once
forced himself at the back of Professor Quirrel's head. Like,
good job, Harry, you remember three years ago?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, there's Harry likes to brag about remembering things quite
a bit. He's like, okay, Harry, that was three years ago.
I hope you remember that.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well. Okay, to be fair, three and a half years ago.
But yeah, Harry remembered. Wow, you remembered that, Harry.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Good job.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Okay. So I think probably the best humble brag is
the vivid Green, but there's quite a few on this page.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, he definitely packed in quite a few humble brags
in a very short amount of time. Yeah, but I
do think that the burn of the week might be
the innocent, clean people whose minds were free of the
taint of Voldemort. It's like he's kind of like looking
down on them, like, yeah, innocent.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
There's also just the snakelike face of Voldemort or like
that's kind of like a burn on Voldemort, Like yeah,
I mean, although Voldemort probably would see it as a brag.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, I don't know, trying to see if there was
any others that those were the main ones that I
thought of.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, it's kind of a burn on himself when he
says one that made his insides writhe and squirm like serpents,
kind of a burn on his insides, like calling his
inside serpents a bit of a stretch.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, I mean I kind of thought that this was
like not that this was exactly a burn, but it's
like Harry running his hand over the back of his head,
like really, was that necessary, Harry?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Well, that's that's probably something the editors told the author, like,
don't just have it all be dialogue. Have Harry do
something while he's doing that, right.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I guess I gotta check and make sure that Voldemort
doesn't hasn't burst out of my po.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Literally checking that. I think he is, well, No, I
think he's He's wondering what it would feel like. Yeah,
say what she will about Harry, but he is good
at empathizing well.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And not only that, but also, like we learned last week,
he's curious. He wonders what it would feel like.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
He does. That's kind of bobble Bread too, wondering what
would feel like. Grat's Harry for being so curious. Again, Well,
like I said, he might belong in Ravenclaw. He might.
He thirst knowledge he does, and has a love for
learning that really just can't be questioned.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
He likes to He always asks those questions, what would
it be like?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, exactly, But he's walking a mile in Quirrel's shoes here.
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
He hadn't thought to do that before, to think about
what it's like to have Voltimore burst out of the
back of your skull. But now he's been put in
that position to think.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
To have his vivid green eyes turned suddenly to scarlet,
cat like or with cat like slits for pupils, Like
how we've had descriptions of maybe this is the O
Joe she did slits for Like, that's a weird phrase
that she happens to use about Voldemort for not just
his nostrils, but also his pupils, true pupils and slits
for nostrils.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah, it's like, what what is the obsession with that?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah? I don't know. Yeah, the word slits is I
guess sinister sounding. So maybe that's why.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Well, I was wondering, like what the symbolism of that
could be, Like, is it to show like there's les
of like a window into his soul?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Then maybe? I mean I think it's also just to
make him look less human. Yeah, because he's become less
and less human with each hook crux that he made.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
That is so symbolic.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
But remember when the when the author told her editor
how horre cruxes are made, her editor screamed.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
They she did?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah that was a that wasn't a Cora question from
a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I guess I was tuning out.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
We talked about it a lot. I think you just forgot.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah that's possible, like the editor.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Screamed, the editor screamed in horror or something like that.
I mean, I don't really know. Why did you not
know that Voldemort kills people. Well, I know, I think
it's more than we know. Like I think the author
never published what she thinks it takes to make a
horre crux. And that was like the horror question or
Cora Answerer's point is like there are dark things, there
are dark times dark Answers, Well, we know the author
(20:56):
has a dark mind growing in her house.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
So yeah, anyway, that's kind of beside the point here.
But yeah, so we've done home humble brag burn of
the week, missed opportunity. There's no food on this span.
They're on a train, Like, why can't they stop at
the snack car?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
That's so true.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Harry's not on a train. Yeah, they're on the underground train.
He's unworthy to sit on the underground train back from
the hospital.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Oh, I was thinking that he was like thinking back
to that.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
No, that's where they are right now, because on the
next page they are like getting out getting off the train.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Oh okay, I thought he was like remembering being on
the train.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
No, it's kind of weird that they take the train,
I was, Yeah, But I guess honestly, has never really
made a lot of sense to me, So I think
it's like.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Totally erased it.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean, they're trying to be untraceable to the ministry,
that's why. Right, So it does make sense.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Actually, yeah, I just it just is always weird to
me to see them on the train, right.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Well, and I think this is a I mean I
don't think there's any underground wizard trains. There's just no No,
I agree, I think this is a Muggle train. Yeah,
they're on the tube. I mean, to be fair, they're
also they're going to a Muggle neighborhood of Grimbled Place,
so right, which is strange too that there's a Muggle
street called Grimbled Place. But right, okay, so what about
(22:22):
uh what about an envy b I don't really know
what to do here.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well, would it be Voldemort bursting out of the skull
or would it be like that? I don't know either.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Closest to a bird action that I feel like we
have unless we want to.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Confer eyes, yeah, I mean they're catlike and bird and
serpent like. I mean it's yeah, there's not a lot
of bird references.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Here, No, there really aren't. I mean, maybe could be
the train flying along there's it could be the deadly
germ that Harry's carrying. Why would that be a bird
I don't know, the bird flu? Yeah, exactly. Birds can
carry diseases. Harry was carrying a.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Disease for the bird flu.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
You mean a germ for the bird flu.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah. I think we have to assume that that's what
she's talking about here. If there's no other bird references car.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Some deadly germs, so we can we can assume. I
think it's safe to presume here. But that referenced germ
here is a germ for the bird flu.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I think so too. And germs also a lot of
times are airborne.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, exactly, just like a bird. Yeah, okay, how are
we going to phrase that in our spreadsheet?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I put deadly germ and then in parentheses I put
bird flu.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Perfect perfect. I think we've cracked the code here. I mean,
because we know that the author references birds on every page.
That's kind of a gill. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, like you, yes, there is. Otherwise we wouldn't be
able to do an MVB every week.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Right exactly. And I mean so yeah, sometimes you have
to search for the bird a bit more. The author
doesn't just give it to us sometimes. But yeah, It's
always there, even if we don't see it right away.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The bird is on every page, and you will find
it if you look hard enough.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Well, the other chance, I mean, I do think bird
flu seems pretty likely. But there is also this question
of what's he after apart from followers, the stuff he
can only get by stealth, something he didn't have last time.
Could that be like a flock of birds?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
It could be, but I think maybe Harry was thinking otherwise.
But yeah, maybe that's really what they meant.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
By that he didn't have that last time. I'm pretty sure, so.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I don't think so either.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I don't know how you get birds by stealth, though,
I mean I guess if you're maybe he would.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Get the crows that surrounded Lillian James.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
In that square. Yeah. They You would have to be
stealthy to catch those guys.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
We're all the crows at Hagrid's hut.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, all the crows and the pumpkin patch.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah. I think if Voldemort was going to get a
flock of birds, it would for sure be.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Crows, yeah, or like, I don't know, vultures, oh, vultures. Yeah,
if we're thinking real birds, yeah, I didn't know if
we were thinking magical birds as well.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I don't know magical birds that well.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
So I thought that was your thing. What are you
talking about?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Well, I know, uh, fox, phoenix, that's one. Mm Bucky
that kind of bird, yeah, Bucky of course, owls. That
kind of bird that explodes. What is that you know
in the movies where that bird is like sitting there
and then it just like explodes.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Isn't that because of like the fat ladies singing or something?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
If my voice? But I thought it was like a
thing Alfonso did as like a transition, right or somebody.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I think there's some sort of noise that Oh no,
I'm picturing a trek too.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
With yeah, and then there's that. Yeah, that's that's about
all I can think of the exotic birds that they
use to send the letters to.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Harry from when I when is on the run.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Yeah, from the lamb, I mean, yeah, a selection of
exotic birds, although Harry was guessing it was from someplace
warm based on the exotic birds Serious had been sending.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I like, how the exotic birds just have the same
function as howse Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I'm like, so can any bird do that?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah? I'm like why does it have to be owls.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Then right, it doesn't seem like it does.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Well, would you send off owls to your parents' friends?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah, I would sent an alter Snape.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That was an no go. He said he wasn't parton
with those pictures.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Serious sent sent an exotic bird to Snape.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah. Serious and Snape were sending lots of correspondence back,
probably were.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
All right, well feel picked our MVB.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Okay, real weirdo. I mean, Harry is the only one
on this page right, references to Voldemort and Quarrel and Dumbledore.
Well yeah, oh yeah, because Dumbledore is no longer meeting
Harry's and then there is the remember, sorry, the memory
of the memory of that.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
But I think I think we've got to do Harry. Yeah,
I think that's I mean, there's also all of the
innocent clean people on the track.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Their minds and bodies are free from the taint of Voulevard. Yeah, congrats.
All right, let's take a quick break forward from our sponsors,
and we'll return talk about all the rest of our segments.
All right, we're back. I think it's time for the
WWGPD because we do not have this is this this
(28:29):
GP drawing here is not from this scene. So while
we do have a GPD meaning drawing on this page,
it's not actually referenced on this page.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And I can see why she didn't pick anything from
this page because I don't know how you. I mean,
Harry rubbing his hand about along the back of his.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Skull reaction, Harry on the train looking at the innocent,
clean people, Harry.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Looking like maybe it could just be like him in
a train seat looking like terrified.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Not terrified, but yeah, conflicted. Maybe I think he.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Was pretty terrified here. He feels terrified. Yeah, but I
could see him like the way I picture it, he
would have one like he would have his hands down,
like holding the seat on either side of him, and
he would just look like like dread filled.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah, but I don't think I don't think he's clutching
the seat necessarily.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I think, well, that would be how you portray it.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, I'm feeling like maybe more like we actually could
have him scratching or not scratching but touching the back
of his head, and that could be the look of
terror on his face too.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah. Maybe I just don't think that she's very good
at the action pictures. Like his hand would probably.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Look really warped, but we call that action of him scratched.
Like I think we could just have his arm behind
his head, like it doesn't have to be hmm.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah, I don't know if we're going to agree on
this one or not.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Well, I mean, I just feel like we could have
the people on the train carry kind of looking like
we can have like a picture here. This wouldn't This
isn't how it actually is. But I'm picturing Harry on
a train seat with like people next to him, like
strangers next to him, and he just looks like he
(30:17):
has a stomach ache.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah. Yeah, I think the train is kind of the
way to go.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Even though you didn't think there was a train on
this page.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, even though I forgot and didn't understand that there
was a train, but now that I do know that, Yeah,
I think it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Mary grand Prey would help us to like that, would.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
That would have a seat that would have showed me
what was really happening if I if that would have
been the illustration.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Right, So, yeah, that was a missed opportunity to not
have that as a chapter art that was Alice would
have would have been very clear about the setting of
this page. Yeah, Okay, so I think we should jump
into band names and album names.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Do you think I think we could maybe this week
just do like three of each, just because it's a
shorter number of words to pick from. What do you think?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, I mean, unless unless we happen to come up
with a lot. But yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I think, like, I don't want to make it like
a super reach, if not necessarily, if we've.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Never done that before. Yeah, that doesn't sound like us
at all. What are you talking about? Yeah, we just.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Don't have as much content to pull from here.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Really hmm. Okay, so snakelike face, cat like slits, vivid green, Yeah,
innocent clean people.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I think, innocent clean people for sure.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah that's fine. Innocent clean people. Underground train, Yeah, I
like that. I could be like an alternate to Train band,
like the right parody of Train.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
And now I thought Train was just what I'm single.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Dude, Well, I have said that on the podcast for
our friend Kate has not chosen to correct us until recently.
I don't know why I've had that in my head,
and you've you've clearly also believed me at least what
I've said.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, well, I didn't know and I was just like, oh, okay, yeah,
I just had that in my head for some reason.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
But Train is a band. Kate's seen them Humble Brag,
so she knows. But yeah, Underground Train, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
What about like Serpents for a band? Yeah, yeah, I
feel like they'd be like a heavy metal or maybe punk. Yeah,
that sounds right like Serpents.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Okay, So now we got to do album titles.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Since we're stopping at three apparently.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Well, I think we've tried. It's not like we're it's
not like these are jumping off the page at us.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Well, I said several others that you pooh poohed. Well,
they weren't very good, as if all the ones we
always come up with are very.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
How about a truly terrible thought?
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Yeah, that's good something he didn't have last time to party.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
No, I think that would be all right. I mean
some some album titles are super long.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Out of his skull.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, actually, I think that might have been one that
I was thinking of too.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I mean, sounds pretty good for like a heavy metal exactly,
or maybe even punk rock exactly. Yeah, m Free of
the Taint.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
No, I don't think we need to do that.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I think we're all better off about that, right, Okay,
so we've got our band names Innocent clean People, Underground
Train and like Serpents and then all a truly terrible
thought something he didn't have last time, and out of
his skull, why.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Can't we put a deadly germ in there as well?
And is that going to be a band or album name?
I think a band?
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Okay, fine, we'll put that on there.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Good for a heavy metal or punk rock, deadly just
or some deadly germ. I think just deadly germ.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I think deadly germ.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, I think that's good. Yeah, that's all right.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Okay, well then that's fine. I think we've got but
do you want to just do you want to do
one more album title?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
How about the Underground Train?
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Well that's a that's a band. You already have that.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah, how about Ryth and Squirm?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Sure I guess yeah, yeah, this is pretty hard now, actually,
I think.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Right, Rythan Squirm is fine. We'll just do that, and then.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah that could be for our like Beatles part not
Beetlestarry our Wiggles band exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
That's what I was thinking too. It's like sounds like
a kid's band as usual or a kid's title.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
That also sounds like heavy metal. Mm hmm, I got
youth and Squirman.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
The funny thing is a lot of like this week.
I feel like it's a very dark page. Like there's
a lot of like gross sounding like the imagery. Yeah,
like there's just I mean, it's partly because it's interesting
when you look at it that way, because you realize,
like the kind of the wording and the imagery that
you're seeing is all very like dark and twisted, And
(35:37):
that's how Harry's feeling.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Well after they're all he's the weapon exactly if Boldemort,
if you know who was possessing him, he wouldn't know.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
What's he after apart from followers stuff he can only
get by stealth, like.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
A weapon or a bird.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I guess something you didn't have last time? A bird.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
He didn't have a bird last time, didn't. No, he didn't,
So that could fit, yeah, I could. But we do
already know that Harry's carrying the bird flu, right, Harry.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
That's gonna be the double way that Harry is a weapon.
He's like being possessed and he's also true a vector
for bird flu.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Well that's maybe that's the weapon. Is Voldemort's gonna infect
the people with bird flu and Harry's carrying the germ
for it.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Right, Harry is the vector?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Yeah, the vector? He's patient zero.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Harry, assume you are a vector.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Okay, I think we've got a few things left, but
first we're gonna do our w w q q O
t w B. And I don't know. This is tough.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Yeah, it is tough.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I mean you could say, like, I mean it's boring
but like accurate to Quorra that it could just be
like why did Harry assume he was the weapon?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Ye? Right? Or maybe it could be somebody being stupid
and being like was Harry the weapon? Like somebody didn't
quite grasp what happened in the book, like like something
like in Order of the Phoenix, was Harry the weapon
that Voldemort was? Right? Fair? I thought one hundred percent
(37:27):
show what the we I mean, the prophecy is the
knowledge of the prophecy is I think it?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
I think it is sort of like yeah, like being
like I do think that Voldemort thought or that they
thought maybe they would be able to control Harry.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Right, but yeah, like okay, so I'm realized the way.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I also think that they kind of are talking about
the prophecy, but like there that the Order themselves don't
really know what it is, so they get confused.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Like don't really know how to describe it to Harry
because they don't want him to get too curious or something.
You know, Harry, it is curiosity that's going to be
the death of him.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
They're like, he has a cunning mind and he is
apt to ask questions.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Plus he's carrying bird fort careful with that one. No,
I I this is the real burner the week is
on myself because I was like, somebody's going to be
stupid to ask what was was Harry the weapon? I know,
Harry's not the weapon.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Yeah, I think there's just a bit of a yeah.
I agree that part actually totally got answered.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Actually, you know what, I kind of think that it
was You're right that it was the Order not totally
getting what they were going to do, and I think
Dumbled did. Dumbledore may have like kind of been super vague,
and so then they just assumed that he that he
was looking for a weapon. No, no, I was gonna say.
I think they actually thought like that he was going
to be able to use Harry as well, that Harry
(38:59):
was they were wrong, but like Harry's Harry's actually thinking
of what they were thinking like that because they because
remember how I mean, Moody thinks that you know, who's
possessing Harry, and then that's like, that's not actually what's happening, right,
So I actually, actually I think Claire Jordan probably could
(39:21):
really give us a good lesson on this from the
Harry Potter lexicon, right that I think that it's a
hairy like the Order believed that Voldemort was seeking to
possess Harry and use him as a weapon, and then
that's actually not what was successfully happening. And yes, they
know about the prophecy too, but like, well.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I think that they don't really know, and I agree
with what you're saying that. In addition, I think that
the prophecy, they don't really know what that is that
they're guarding. They just know there's something that he wants
in the Department of Mysteries. They don't know that it's
a prophecy about Harry, right, So I think that they're
they're thinking, which.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Is ridiculous because Dumbledore knows, like, yeah, well, I think
that there too.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
I think that it's I think Dumbledore doesn't necessarily want
them to all know about the prophecy, right, yeah, because
it's also harm Harry, you know if if it gets
out that he's chosen.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Yeah, right, it does harm Harry, like you know, some
of them.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
So I think he gives them limited information, but it's like, oh,
he's trying to get something from here that we have
to stand watch.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I don't believe there's a single person among us here
who would betray me, so as Harry says.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Yeah, So anyway, it's all very convoluted. It doesn't really
get totally answered.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Watch, We'll have somebody come to us and give us
a very simple explanation that.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
I've talked before too, if you probably. But I think
I think I'm I think I'm believing what I'm saying here.
Of that the Order was kind of describing it vaguely
because they had a vague understanding as well, and they
also kind of believed something that they thought Voldemort was
going to be able to possess Harry, because that makes
sense as as something he can only get by stealth,
(41:07):
like that he's doing it underground, like possessing Harry but
he's not. I mean, yeah, the possessing possessing Harry is
not exactly what's happening. But that's why acclements he's so important,
you know, right, right? Okay, Well, thank you qqot WP
for helping us and for making us think. Yeah, it
really did make us think.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Cora does Cora has a way. Yeah, she's she's a
flighty little bugger, but she has a way. She'll get
through to you.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
She'll be a fickle friend. Yes, Cora is as Cora does.
Remember that. Okay, what about the moral of the week.
This is not a page where Harry really resolves anything.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
But no, I don't think that we've like necessarily I
mean I think once you get to the end of
this scene and this, like when you get to some conclusion,
Like I think that the moral kind of is like
it's better to like not stew on things, right, try
to figure everything out on your own. It's better to
like share your feelings and go through things with people.
But that he hasn't really come to that on this
(42:05):
page yet.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Right, Maybe maybe our moral could be something about, like,
do not assume that the people around you aren't fighting
their own battles.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
That's right, everybody has their struggles, Harry.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Just because they're not all being sorried that they're possessed
by Voldemort doesn't mean that they're not going through anything, right, Well,
these innocent, clean people, yet he doesn't know that. Like
maybe they appear clean and innocent, but they they're probably
fighting their own battles just like he is.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
So I think, I mean, it's isn't this Christmas Day?
And they're oh, not quite maybe not quite. I was
gonna say it was like a.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Couple of days with people. That's why they're traveling by
train because they don't want umbrage to know that they're
not right.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, okay, So anyway, yeah, I think so.
I think that's probably the moral of the week.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yeah, so never assume that, never assume that, I guess
we don't have to make it a double negative.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Or never don't assume that you're the only one with problems.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
Yeah, perfect, perfect, Yeah, all right, I think that's about it.
We've got here. I think we're ready to rank this
page or sorry, rate this page out of ten. Last
week's was a five out of ten. I feel like
this might be lower. I don't know. Yeah, get out
(43:26):
of ten. When we first started doing this, We're like,
we're not going to give much lower than six ever.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
But well, I mean, just being a half page already
kind of I think it's kind of entertaining just because
it's like getting into Harry's mind. But I think, like, yeah,
it was more. It was probably like a four.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
I think, yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking as well.
Four seems right because I mean, again, we're not giving
it a forty percent here, like, but I think it
is a like relative to what's a seven. This is
significantly worse than the page that we did two weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Right, and just not as much to go through and
talk about.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Right. I did want to be a half page, right,
I did want to share what Justin said because we
read him on that he said, you clocked me. I
was absolutely in the middle of thinking that you needed
to recalibrate to using the whole of the number scale
when you called me out. So that's that's what we're
doing here.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
We are recalibrating right now.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
Well, no, I think we're not recalibrating that. That's right.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
We didn't need to recalibrate, right, we know.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
Justin, we know what we're doing exactly And I said
to him, how the turntables because he loves to clock us,
like assume what we're going to say and stuff, and
two could play at that game justin that's right. So yeah,
I think a four seems right for this page. And again, like,
this is not a four out of ten, Like if
(44:54):
we're comparing up this to a page of Twilight, this
is probably much better than most pages from that or
like another book that is mediocre, you know, right, Yeah,
but for the Harry Potter series, this is a four.
And given that four, I think we can assume this
is not going to be ousting elf tails, that's the
(45:16):
King of the Hill.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
No, I don't think so it's gonna take a little
more than that.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
That would be quite the upset if we gave it
a four out of ten and then we're like, yeah,
this is the best page we've read so far.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yeah, I don't think that it needs to do that.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
All right, without further ado, I have the D seven
in my hand and I'm gonna roll. Okay, we got
six six, and now switching over to the D ten
for our first it doesn't go up to page eight,
does it to?
Speaker 2 (45:47):
Okay, I think that was just seven hundred.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
So should I start with the D seven then?
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Well, I mean it's up to you if you want
to just reroll.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Okay, we'll reroll. Seven is the first number.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Okay, let me just make sure that its ok to seven,
but don't cheat and see what I'm not going to
It might only go to six something.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Yeah, that only goes to six fifty two.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Okay, So should I roll a D six first?
Speaker 2 (46:17):
No, then it's seven because you don'tant to have zero,
So yeah, okay, seven would count as zero.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
Yeah, alright, three is first. Okay, Now say book six,
page three hundred eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
All right, so where do we think that's going to be?
Speaker 1 (46:39):
Definitely guess you go ahead first.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
I usually gonna say, like I want to slug horns lessons.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
I was gonna guess birthday surprises.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
Yeah, the ar scene, I hope. So that's a good scene, yes,
exactly three eighty eight right, yes, okay, exciting.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
Exactly, very exciting. So that will be next week and
two other things to get excited for next week. Not
only will we be talking about Book six, page three
hundred eighty eight, and not only will we also be
sharing the band and album name results from this week,
but we will also are you ready for this, Alice,
(47:20):
but boom boom be sharing the band and album name
results from two weeks ago. Now, it was so exciting
from two weeks ago at the time. So from last
week from book one, page three h four, right, there
will be a lot to discuss next week. Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
There will be a lot to discuss, and we will
we will be making a meal out of it.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
And I pray right now that this page three eighty
eight is not a half page like this one was,
although I think we did a pretty.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Good job again, and I also I also pray that
we'll have some food on it. I was gonna say, well, now,
waite a while since we've gotten a food and.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Dry out here. Yes we have a Last week we
had a delicious feast, but it was not no details of.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
We have been hungry. It is dry out there people.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Well, fam, I guess the best we've done for food
is we made a meal out of this page. But
that's that's saying something. If we're that hungry, we're eating
the book.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
And Harry could have been having some snacks on the train.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
That would actually helped him a lot. I'd like to
see a.
Speaker 2 (48:21):
Trolley witch on the Muggle train to see how she compares.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
We already made this joke. We said we could have
gone to the snack car, So I know, I'm.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Just saying I didn't come up with the idea at
the time. Why didn't we have a trolley woman to
compare to the trolley witch.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Yeah, that would be the cherry on top. That would
be That would have been really nice for this page.
It would have helped you another food.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
Memory or another food metaphor. And that's how desperate we are.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
That we are hungry, all right. So make sure that

Speaker 1 (00:20):
All you other weird sisters are fine, but not the fakers. 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 four hundred and ninety second page of
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Very excited
(00:40):
to talk about a sort of later in the book page.
We're over halfway through the book and that's not something
we've talked about for Order of the Phoenix yet. So
another o, Pat, we're back and it's a little bit
later in the series. Yes, and Harry is going to
Harry on this page. I'm excited about that. Yes, he
is going to Harry. He's very very in his fifth
(01:03):
book Fantasy. He's living that out and on this page. Yeah,
that's to put it mildly, that's what he's doing here.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So yeah, so we had made our predictions last week,
and it's kind of funny because I feel like we
kind of take the happy medium between us. You were closer,
but we I had predicted that this would be like
the Da and Harry's first kiss moment, and you had
predicted that it would be at Saint Mungo's. It turns
(01:34):
out it's right in between when Harry's starting to freak
out and think that he's possessed and that he needs
to leave, right.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So it is from the chapter Christmas on the Closed Ward.
So I got excited when I saw that chapter title
because I was like, I was right Saint Mungo's. But
it is before they go to Saint Mungo's, right on
the way to Grimoald Place. So it does have that
beautiful chapter art of one of the house elves heads
on the trophy with it Santa Beard. That was a
(02:05):
kind of a oh no, she Grand Prey didn't Oh Mary,
Oh Mary, Yeah exactly, Mary, did you know? Yeah, that's
exactly what it is. I mean, it's it's actually it's
a pretty like well done image. It's just creepy looking.
(02:26):
I guess it's supposed to be creepy looking. Such long,
Such long ears you.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Have if it's supposed to be creepy, She.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Succeeded, Yeah my, what big ears you have?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, the better to creep you out with.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah my, what a long chin you have? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well it's very festive. It has been decorated to look
like Santa.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, and I like the star hanging from its nose.
That's the cherry on top.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I think maybe that was creatures decorating.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, I think it was maybe Molly's decorating. Okay, well,
we previewed this last week, but we do not have
any housekeeping this week, and that's because we just recorded
Book one, page three hundred four, about ten minutes prior
to recording this, so we do not have the band
results or the album results.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I know that's why you're tuning in right now, probably.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
But you're gonna have to wait one more week. We
will have those results next week, but we do not
have them for you yet. So I apologize. But we
did warn you, don't I did warn you not to.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I think I don't remember you warning them, so that
would have been nice if you would have.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I did warn you not to scream.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, yeah, okay, Well anyway, yeah, no, no, band results yet,
but they will be here in the future.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They will be Yeah, So without further ado, I think
we're gonna jump right in. And like you said, there's
a lot of hairy inner turmoil on this page. So
am I going to read that as? Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yes, that will be Harry's voice reading.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
That, okay, even though he's not speaking, it's his thoughts. Okay.
So this actually we should have said this when I'm
talking about this chapter art. This is half the page
is taken up by this beautiful chapter art. And Christmas
on the Closed Ward is part of the seeing the
title there, that's another half of the page. So this
(04:23):
is our first first time that we're doing a first
page of a chapter.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Right, So when Jim Dale reads this out, I should
read chapter twenty three that all of that, right.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I guess? So yeah, okay, all right, so.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Let's jump right in chapter twenty three.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Christmas on the Closed Ward.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Was this white?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Dumbledore would no longer meet Harry's eyes. Did he expect
to see Voldemort staring out of them? Afraid perhaps that
their vivid green might suddenly turn to scarlet with catlike
slits for pupils. Harry remembered how this snake like face
of Voldemort had once forced itself out of the back
of Professor Quirrel's head, and he ran his head over
(05:07):
the back of his own, wondering what it would feel
like if Voldemort burst out of his skull. He felt dirty, contaminated,
as though he were carrying some deadly germ, unworthy to
sit on the underground train back from the hospital with innocent,
clean people whose minds and bodies were free of the
taint of Voldemort. He had not merely seen the snake.
(05:30):
He had been the snake. He knew it now.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
And then a.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Truly terrible thought occurred to him, a memory bobbing to
the surface of his mind, one that made his insides
writhe and squirm like serpents.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
What's he after apart from followers, stuff he could only
get by stealth, like a weapon, something you didn't have
last time. That's it. That's it, I did, missneak. I
happened to well, I guess kind of reading get again,
seeing the phrasing of on the way back from the hospital,
(06:04):
they have actually been to Saint Mungo's already. But I
when I had said at Saint Mungo's, I was picturing
like actually Christmas at Saint Mungo's. I wasn't picturing the
phrase it when Harry overhears the conversation that moody and.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, and I was. I was a little bit like
confused about the placement of this too, because I was
thinking it was before, but you're right, it was after
they've been to Saint Mungos, So you were closer, you
were closer.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, but I wasn't picturing that first time at Saint Mungo's.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So really, thank you for being honest about that.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yes, this is a weird page. This is this is
just proof that the dice we do what the dice
tells us to do. We don't pick and choose what
page we're talking about. True, that the Dice don't lie exactly.
And yeah, I think this is a very internal page.
It's pretty much one hundred percent Harry's thoughts on this page.
(06:54):
And it's Harry Zone. You know, inner turmoil that he's
experiencing in the fifth book is one of his uh
big conflicts that he has with himself, is he's starting.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
To the weapon.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Well we haven't even gotten to that yet. And that's
that's the conclusion. The terror, the truly terrible thought occurred
to him. That's what's leading to that.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I have to say I had one of my most
fluent Jim Dale readings.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah you did. I mean it helped that it was
only half a page, yeah, but it was like.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Almost all Jim Dale reading that out versus the dialogue
at all.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah. So dialogue ratio we got zero for zero because
there's no so well, I guess zero zero for two
because there's technically two lines of dialogue, but neither of
them has a action or a verb for it.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
So right, and it's kind of like you know, Harry
remembering dialogue, so it's not exactly Yeah, it's not like
live dialogue.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Right, this is the weird page. I'm sure we'll make
a meal out of it, but it's I mean, honestly,
as far as word count goes, this is probably similar
to a page from the first book. Right.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, I was thinking that because when you look at
these pages, like the normal pages in the Order of
the Phoenix, they're much longer than the normal page in
the right Sorcerer's Stone. It's like the font is smaller,
there's more words per page. Yeah, so I think, like, yes,
this is it's a little shorter, I think than your
average sorcerer's stone page, but it's still it's not like
(08:19):
super far off from that, right.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
But yeah, this is our first time that we're having
a page that is not a full page.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, and it is.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
The font smaller? Where is it in the book? The
verso or something that says what font size this is?
Is it at the end of the book.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I think so. I just when I look at it,
I think it looks smaller. But maybe I could be wrong.
It's about that eyes.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
It doesn't say in my book, or at least I
can't find the page that says what size it's in.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, I don't. I don't see it in mine either.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
But I'm comparing the two pages. I think they're the
same size.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
There's a lot more words on the page though.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, yeah, because it's I feel like it's maybe smaller
margins and it's a wider page, and.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I think like the spacing between lines is smaller. Oh,
the font size is definitely smaller. When I opened it,
I could tell immediately. Really, it's like a whole point smaller.
You think you need to ask your your printer who
lives with you.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I think that's the same size.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
No, it's definitely bigger in the let's look up.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Look up what it says standard, well American?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, and are you looking at two hardcover books? No,
that's the problem for Oh okay, so me, I so
I have two hardcover books and definitely smaller in the
So maybe if you have the paperback, I bet maybe
then they are the same. If it's paperback to.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Hard pay it does say the first American edition was
published in our Sorcererstnas published twelve point font, but the
fifth book was printed an eleven point five point font,
which caused some reader to satisfaction. According to the AI overview,
I like it better that it's huge in the welve
is pretty big. But okay, I'm going to take a
(09:56):
picture of the comparison here.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Well, I'm guessing the paper back they probably do have
smaller because the paperback, it's a smaller book. You have
to shrink it down, right, Yeah, you know it's in
the book is not as tall, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
But I mean yeah, the difference between eleven point five
and twelve also could be possibly could I could be
missing that right now, But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
No, I think next time you come to my house.
I want you to compare my two books, and you'll
you'll immediately see it. It's so obvious.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Okay, yeah, because you don't immediately see it with what
I just sent you a picture. You tell me if
you don't immediately see it, or if you do immediately
see it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, No, I think they're the same. But I think
it's because, like I said, they had to shrink it
down for the paperback.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Okay, well, that that's our fond talk of the week.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yes, and it was well worth it.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, but I thought there was a page in this
book that's Maybe it's just in the hard backs. Oh yeah.
It does say at the end of the fifth book
that the sorry, the text was set in eleven point
five point Adobe Garamond.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Does it say at the end of your first book
the paperback because I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Have a Payt'm sorry the hardback.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
My paperback doesn't have a page like that. My paperback
ends with a preview chamber of secrets, and then maybe the.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Author you've you've got a second rate book there, ye know.
My card back does say twelve point Adobe Garamont.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Okay, well, yeah, this book is a Scholastic The visual.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, you've got like a knockoff.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It cost five ninety nine and it was well worth it. Yeah, well,
I don't think I paid five ninety nine. I think
garage sale or something for six ninety nine. I'm just kidding,
all right, So let's talk about the I don't know,
I don't know what to talk about first, because it's
(11:50):
so much narrative and so little content.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Well, like I said, it is Harry Harrying. I mean
I get I always really did, like strongly strongly relate
to him in this moment because I just can imagine
like the amount of stress he would feel and like
feeling all alone with this idea that like he might
have been the cause of mister Weasley's attack, Like that
(12:17):
would be really scary. So I always like strongly like
sympathized with him here. But it's also really funny.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I just strongly sympathize with any scene that has Harry
in his head, because that's just I mean, I just
think the author does a really good job of illustrating
his thoughts and like being realistic about how a teenager
thinks about things. And again, one of those things where
we get frustrated when people say to Harry's not a
smart person because he does actually intellectualize and think about
(12:44):
a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
He's very introspective.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
For yes, yes he is. Let's go ahead and talk
about Hermion, he's beaded bag. If we're going to take
this page with us, because I have to say, this
specific page doesn't have too much that's me.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Well, is it in the movie? I think not really.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I mean I.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Don't fully remember how Harry worrying about being the snake
is in the movie. Like I think it is a
little bit, but not.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Not nearly as much. And that's not why people don't
think of Harry being this thoughtful person.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, so, I mean I think like some of some
of the aspects that I would take with us are
the fact that we do get to see Harry's thought
process and that it feels pretty realistic. But yeah, it
goes on. I mean, it goes on for quite a while.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I don't necessarily think this particular page is absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Crucial, right. I also think it what this is in
reaction to, if I remember correctly, is Harry overhearing the
conversation between Moody and Missus Weasley and Lupin. I think
in the in the hospital where we're or sorry in St. Mungo's,
where Moody says like, well, if you know who's possessing him,
so that I do think. I don't even think that's
(13:56):
like really in the movie. There's very little of this
that's in the movie because it's so focused on the
action of what's happening.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Right, Yeah, No, I mean I think it doesn't really
translate very well to a movie because, like you said,
it's not really very action heavy. It's just like Harry thinking.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
So right, right, let's jump into humble bragg of the week.
I had one right away that came to me. Maybe
you wont do too, But it's when Dumbledore won't meet
Harry's eyes. Did he expect to see Voldemort staring out
of them, afraid perhaps that their vivid green might turn
suddenly to scarlet? Yeah? Like, okay, Harry, your beautiful vivid
(14:33):
green eyes piercing vivid green eyes.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yes, that was my thought too. I'm like, are you
Harry's sitting here stewing, But at the same time, he
can't he can't miss a chance to talk about how
vivid his eyes are.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
My vivid green eyes might suddenly turn to scarlet. That's
the one part about this inner dialogue. And I'm like,
is that really how Harry's thinking right now? The vivid
green of my eyes.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Like my vivid green eyes. And he's like, well, yeah,
Dumbledore would be worried about seeing them turn to scarlet
when they originally are such vivid green.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, they're such a beautiful, vivid green.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That would be scary, scary to think about them turning scary.
To change from that vivid green into another color would
be a travesty, right.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Another kind of brief humble brag here is the unworthy
to sit on the underground train back from the hospital
with innocent, clean people whose minds and bodies were free
of the taint of Voldemort. Yeah, a double humble brag,
like Harry's been tainted by Buldemort. And then also they
are so free and clean, and.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
How he's like calling them like so innocent, Oh, you innocent,
naive people. Right, it's kind of a burn of the week, actually, yeah,
it kind of is, like, Wow, those naive people.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
They have no idea.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
They just Harry's got the weight of the world on
his shoulders and they haven't a care in the world.
I'm sure I'm sure none of them have problems either.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It's Harry. I'm sure. I mean, nobody's been tainted by
Voldemord like he has.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
This is sort of another humble brag here. He had
not merely seen the snake. He had been the snake.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, congrats. Oh and also he knew it now, Harry
knows it for a congrats.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Harry, you or you know what you're talking about. You've
not merely seen it, You've been it.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Another another stretch of a humble brag here is Harry
remembered how the snake like faces of board had once
forced himself at the back of Professor Quirrel's head. Like,
good job, Harry, you remember three years ago?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, there's Harry likes to brag about remembering things quite
a bit. He's like, okay, Harry, that was three years ago.
I hope you remember that.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well. Okay, to be fair, three and a half years ago.
But yeah, Harry remembered. Wow, you remembered that, Harry.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Good job.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Okay. So I think probably the best humble brag is
the vivid Green, but there's quite a few on this page.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, he definitely packed in quite a few humble brags
in a very short amount of time. Yeah, but I
do think that the burn of the week might be
the innocent, clean people whose minds were free of the
taint of Voldemort. It's like he's kind of like looking
down on them, like, yeah, innocent.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
There's also just the snakelike face of Voldemort or like
that's kind of like a burn on Voldemort, Like yeah,
I mean, although Voldemort probably would see it as a brag.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, I don't know, trying to see if there was
any others that those were the main ones that I
thought of.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, it's kind of a burn on himself when he
says one that made his insides writhe and squirm like serpents,
kind of a burn on his insides, like calling his
inside serpents a bit of a stretch.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, I mean I kind of thought that this was
like not that this was exactly a burn, but it's
like Harry running his hand over the back of his head,
like really, was that necessary, Harry?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Well, that's that's probably something the editors told the author, like,
don't just have it all be dialogue. Have Harry do
something while he's doing that, right.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I guess I gotta check and make sure that Voldemort
doesn't hasn't burst out of my po.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Literally checking that. I think he is, well, No, I
think he's He's wondering what it would feel like. Yeah,
say what she will about Harry, but he is good
at empathizing well.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
And not only that, but also, like we learned last week,
he's curious. He wonders what it would feel like.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
He does. That's kind of bobble Bread too, wondering what
would feel like. Grat's Harry for being so curious. Again, Well,
like I said, he might belong in Ravenclaw. He might.
He thirst knowledge he does, and has a love for
learning that really just can't be questioned.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
He likes to He always asks those questions, what would
it be like?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, exactly, But he's walking a mile in Quirrel's shoes here.
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
He hadn't thought to do that before, to think about
what it's like to have Voltimore burst out of the
back of your skull. But now he's been put in
that position to think.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
To have his vivid green eyes turned suddenly to scarlet,
cat like or with cat like slits for pupils, Like
how we've had descriptions of maybe this is the O
Joe she did slits for Like, that's a weird phrase
that she happens to use about Voldemort for not just
his nostrils, but also his pupils, true pupils and slits
for nostrils.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah, it's like, what what is the obsession with that?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah? I don't know. Yeah, the word slits is I
guess sinister sounding. So maybe that's why.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Well, I was wondering, like what the symbolism of that
could be, Like, is it to show like there's les
of like a window into his soul?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Then maybe? I mean I think it's also just to
make him look less human. Yeah, because he's become less
and less human with each hook crux that he made.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
That is so symbolic.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
But remember when the when the author told her editor
how horre cruxes are made, her editor screamed.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
They she did?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah that was a that wasn't a Cora question from
a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I guess I was tuning out.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
We talked about it a lot. I think you just forgot.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah that's possible, like the editor.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Screamed, the editor screamed in horror or something like that.
I mean, I don't really know. Why did you not
know that Voldemort kills people. Well, I know, I think
it's more than we know. Like I think the author
never published what she thinks it takes to make a
horre crux. And that was like the horror question or
Cora Answerer's point is like there are dark things, there
are dark times dark Answers, Well, we know the author
(20:56):
has a dark mind growing in her house.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
So yeah, anyway, that's kind of beside the point here.
But yeah, so we've done home humble brag burn of
the week, missed opportunity. There's no food on this span.
They're on a train, Like, why can't they stop at
the snack car?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
That's so true.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Harry's not on a train. Yeah, they're on the underground train.
He's unworthy to sit on the underground train back from
the hospital.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Oh, I was thinking that he was like thinking back
to that.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
No, that's where they are right now, because on the
next page they are like getting out getting off the train.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Oh okay, I thought he was like remembering being on
the train.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
No, it's kind of weird that they take the train,
I was, Yeah, But I guess honestly, has never really
made a lot of sense to me, So I think
it's like.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Totally erased it.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean, they're trying to be untraceable to the ministry,
that's why. Right, So it does make sense.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Actually, yeah, I just it just is always weird to
me to see them on the train, right.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Well, and I think this is a I mean I
don't think there's any underground wizard trains. There's just no No,
I agree, I think this is a Muggle train. Yeah,
they're on the tube. I mean, to be fair, they're
also they're going to a Muggle neighborhood of Grimbled Place,
so right, which is strange too that there's a Muggle
street called Grimbled Place. But right, okay, so what about
(22:22):
uh what about an envy b I don't really know
what to do here.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well, would it be Voldemort bursting out of the skull
or would it be like that? I don't know either.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Closest to a bird action that I feel like we
have unless we want to.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Confer eyes, yeah, I mean they're catlike and bird and
serpent like. I mean it's yeah, there's not a lot
of bird references.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Here, No, there really aren't. I mean, maybe could be
the train flying along there's it could be the deadly
germ that Harry's carrying. Why would that be a bird
I don't know, the bird flu? Yeah, exactly. Birds can
carry diseases. Harry was carrying a.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Disease for the bird flu.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
You mean a germ for the bird flu.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah. I think we have to assume that that's what
she's talking about here. If there's no other bird references car.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Some deadly germs, so we can we can assume. I
think it's safe to presume here. But that referenced germ
here is a germ for the bird flu.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I think so too. And germs also a lot of
times are airborne.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, exactly, just like a bird. Yeah, okay, how are
we going to phrase that in our spreadsheet?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I put deadly germ and then in parentheses I put
bird flu.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Perfect perfect. I think we've cracked the code here. I mean,
because we know that the author references birds on every page.
That's kind of a gill. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, like you, yes, there is. Otherwise we wouldn't be
able to do an MVB every week.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Right exactly. And I mean so yeah, sometimes you have
to search for the bird a bit more. The author
doesn't just give it to us sometimes. But yeah, It's
always there, even if we don't see it right away.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The bird is on every page, and you will find
it if you look hard enough.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Well, the other chance, I mean, I do think bird
flu seems pretty likely. But there is also this question
of what's he after apart from followers, the stuff he
can only get by stealth, something he didn't have last time.
Could that be like a flock of birds?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
It could be, but I think maybe Harry was thinking otherwise.
But yeah, maybe that's really what they meant.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
By that he didn't have that last time. I'm pretty sure, so.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I don't think so either.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I don't know how you get birds by stealth, though,
I mean I guess if you're maybe he would.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Get the crows that surrounded Lillian James.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
In that square. Yeah. They You would have to be
stealthy to catch those guys.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
We're all the crows at Hagrid's hut.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, all the crows and the pumpkin patch.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah. I think if Voldemort was going to get a
flock of birds, it would for sure be.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Crows, yeah, or like, I don't know, vultures, oh, vultures. Yeah,
if we're thinking real birds, yeah, I didn't know if
we were thinking magical birds as well.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I don't know magical birds that well.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
So I thought that was your thing. What are you
talking about?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Well, I know, uh, fox, phoenix, that's one. Mm Bucky
that kind of bird, yeah, Bucky of course, owls. That
kind of bird that explodes. What is that you know
in the movies where that bird is like sitting there
and then it just like explodes.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Isn't that because of like the fat ladies singing or something?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
If my voice? But I thought it was like a
thing Alfonso did as like a transition, right or somebody.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I think there's some sort of noise that Oh no,
I'm picturing a trek too.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
With yeah, and then there's that. Yeah, that's that's about
all I can think of the exotic birds that they
use to send the letters to.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Harry from when I when is on the run.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Yeah, from the lamb, I mean, yeah, a selection of
exotic birds, although Harry was guessing it was from someplace
warm based on the exotic birds Serious had been sending.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I like, how the exotic birds just have the same
function as howse Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I'm like, so can any bird do that?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah? I'm like why does it have to be owls.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Then right, it doesn't seem like it does.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Well, would you send off owls to your parents' friends?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah, I would sent an alter Snape.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That was an no go. He said he wasn't parton
with those pictures.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Serious sent sent an exotic bird to Snape.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah. Serious and Snape were sending lots of correspondence back,
probably were.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
All right, well feel picked our MVB.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Okay, real weirdo. I mean, Harry is the only one
on this page right, references to Voldemort and Quarrel and Dumbledore.
Well yeah, oh yeah, because Dumbledore is no longer meeting
Harry's and then there is the remember, sorry, the memory
of the memory of that.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
But I think I think we've got to do Harry. Yeah,
I think that's I mean, there's also all of the
innocent clean people on the track.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Their minds and bodies are free from the taint of Voulevard. Yeah, congrats.
All right, let's take a quick break forward from our sponsors,
and we'll return talk about all the rest of our segments.
All right, we're back. I think it's time for the
WWGPD because we do not have this is this this
(28:29):
GP drawing here is not from this scene. So while
we do have a GPD meaning drawing on this page,
it's not actually referenced on this page.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And I can see why she didn't pick anything from
this page because I don't know how you. I mean,
Harry rubbing his hand about along the back of his.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Skull reaction, Harry on the train looking at the innocent,
clean people, Harry.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Looking like maybe it could just be like him in
a train seat looking like terrified.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Not terrified, but yeah, conflicted. Maybe I think he.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Was pretty terrified here. He feels terrified. Yeah, but I
could see him like the way I picture it, he
would have one like he would have his hands down,
like holding the seat on either side of him, and
he would just look like like dread filled.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah, but I don't think I don't think he's clutching
the seat necessarily.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I think, well, that would be how you portray it.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, I'm feeling like maybe more like we actually could
have him scratching or not scratching but touching the back
of his head, and that could be the look of
terror on his face too.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah. Maybe I just don't think that she's very good
at the action pictures. Like his hand would probably.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Look really warped, but we call that action of him scratched.
Like I think we could just have his arm behind
his head, like it doesn't have to be hmm.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah, I don't know if we're going to agree on
this one or not.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Well, I mean, I just feel like we could have
the people on the train carry kind of looking like
we can have like a picture here. This wouldn't This
isn't how it actually is. But I'm picturing Harry on
a train seat with like people next to him, like
strangers next to him, and he just looks like he
(30:17):
has a stomach ache.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah. Yeah, I think the train is kind of the
way to go.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Even though you didn't think there was a train on
this page.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, even though I forgot and didn't understand that there
was a train, but now that I do know that, Yeah,
I think it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Mary grand Prey would help us to like that, would.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
That would have a seat that would have showed me
what was really happening if I if that would have
been the illustration.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Right, So, yeah, that was a missed opportunity to not
have that as a chapter art that was Alice would
have would have been very clear about the setting of
this page. Yeah, Okay, so I think we should jump
into band names and album names.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Do you think I think we could maybe this week
just do like three of each, just because it's a
shorter number of words to pick from. What do you think?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, I mean, unless unless we happen to come up
with a lot. But yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I think, like, I don't want to make it like
a super reach, if not necessarily, if we've.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Never done that before. Yeah, that doesn't sound like us
at all. What are you talking about? Yeah, we just.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Don't have as much content to pull from here.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Really hmm. Okay, so snakelike face, cat like slits, vivid green, Yeah,
innocent clean people.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I think, innocent clean people for sure.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah that's fine. Innocent clean people. Underground train, Yeah, I
like that. I could be like an alternate to Train band,
like the right parody of Train.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
And now I thought Train was just what I'm single.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Dude, Well, I have said that on the podcast for
our friend Kate has not chosen to correct us until recently.
I don't know why I've had that in my head,
and you've you've clearly also believed me at least what
I've said.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, well, I didn't know and I was just like, oh, okay, yeah,
I just had that in my head for some reason.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
But Train is a band. Kate's seen them Humble Brag,
so she knows. But yeah, Underground Train, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
What about like Serpents for a band? Yeah, yeah, I
feel like they'd be like a heavy metal or maybe punk. Yeah,
that sounds right like Serpents.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Okay, So now we got to do album titles.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Since we're stopping at three apparently.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Well, I think we've tried. It's not like we're it's
not like these are jumping off the page at us.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Well, I said several others that you pooh poohed. Well,
they weren't very good, as if all the ones we
always come up with are very.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
How about a truly terrible thought?
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Yeah, that's good something he didn't have last time to party.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
No, I think that would be all right. I mean
some some album titles are super long.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Out of his skull.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, actually, I think that might have been one that
I was thinking of too.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I mean, sounds pretty good for like a heavy metal exactly,
or maybe even punk rock exactly. Yeah, m Free of
the Taint.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
No, I don't think we need to do that.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I think we're all better off about that, right, Okay,
so we've got our band names Innocent clean People, Underground
Train and like Serpents and then all a truly terrible
thought something he didn't have last time, and out of
his skull, why.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Can't we put a deadly germ in there as well?
And is that going to be a band or album name?
I think a band?
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Okay, fine, we'll put that on there.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Good for a heavy metal or punk rock, deadly just
or some deadly germ. I think just deadly germ.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I think deadly germ.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, I think that's good. Yeah, that's all right.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Okay, well then that's fine. I think we've got but
do you want to just do you want to do
one more album title?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
How about the Underground Train?
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Well that's a that's a band. You already have that.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah, how about Ryth and Squirm?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Sure I guess yeah, yeah, this is pretty hard now, actually,
I think.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Right, Rythan Squirm is fine. We'll just do that, and then.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yeah that could be for our like Beatles part not
Beetlestarry our Wiggles band exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
That's what I was thinking too. It's like sounds like
a kid's band as usual or a kid's title.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
That also sounds like heavy metal. Mm hmm, I got
youth and Squirman.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
The funny thing is a lot of like this week.
I feel like it's a very dark page. Like there's
a lot of like gross sounding like the imagery. Yeah,
like there's just I mean, it's partly because it's interesting
when you look at it that way, because you realize,
like the kind of the wording and the imagery that
you're seeing is all very like dark and twisted, And
(35:37):
that's how Harry's feeling.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Well after they're all he's the weapon exactly if Boldemort,
if you know who was possessing him, he wouldn't know.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
What's he after apart from followers stuff he can only
get by stealth, like.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
A weapon or a bird.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I guess something you didn't have last time? A bird.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
He didn't have a bird last time, didn't. No, he didn't,
So that could fit, yeah, I could. But we do
already know that Harry's carrying the bird flu, right, Harry.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
That's gonna be the double way that Harry is a weapon.
He's like being possessed and he's also true a vector
for bird flu.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Well that's maybe that's the weapon. Is Voldemort's gonna infect
the people with bird flu and Harry's carrying the germ
for it.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Right, Harry is the vector?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Yeah, the vector? He's patient zero.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Harry, assume you are a vector.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Okay, I think we've got a few things left, but
first we're gonna do our w w q q O
t w B. And I don't know. This is tough.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Yeah, it is tough.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I mean you could say, like, I mean it's boring
but like accurate to Quorra that it could just be
like why did Harry assume he was the weapon?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Ye? Right? Or maybe it could be somebody being stupid
and being like was Harry the weapon? Like somebody didn't
quite grasp what happened in the book, like like something
like in Order of the Phoenix, was Harry the weapon
that Voldemort was? Right? Fair? I thought one hundred percent
(37:27):
show what the we I mean, the prophecy is the
knowledge of the prophecy is I think it?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
I think it is sort of like yeah, like being
like I do think that Voldemort thought or that they
thought maybe they would be able to control Harry.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Right, but yeah, like okay, so I'm realized the way.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I also think that they kind of are talking about
the prophecy, but like there that the Order themselves don't
really know what it is, so they get confused.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Like don't really know how to describe it to Harry
because they don't want him to get too curious or something.
You know, Harry, it is curiosity that's going to be
the death of him.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
They're like, he has a cunning mind and he is
apt to ask questions.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Plus he's carrying bird fort careful with that one. No,
I I this is the real burner the week is
on myself because I was like, somebody's going to be
stupid to ask what was was Harry the weapon? I know,
Harry's not the weapon.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Yeah, I think there's just a bit of a yeah.
I agree that part actually totally got answered.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Actually, you know what, I kind of think that it
was You're right that it was the Order not totally
getting what they were going to do, and I think
Dumbled did. Dumbledore may have like kind of been super vague,
and so then they just assumed that he that he
was looking for a weapon. No, no, I was gonna say.
I think they actually thought like that he was going
to be able to use Harry as well, that Harry
(38:59):
was they were wrong, but like Harry's Harry's actually thinking
of what they were thinking like that because they because
remember how I mean, Moody thinks that you know, who's
possessing Harry, and then that's like, that's not actually what's happening, right,
So I actually, actually I think Claire Jordan probably could
(39:21):
really give us a good lesson on this from the
Harry Potter lexicon, right that I think that it's a
hairy like the Order believed that Voldemort was seeking to
possess Harry and use him as a weapon, and then
that's actually not what was successfully happening. And yes, they
know about the prophecy too, but like, well.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I think that they don't really know, and I agree
with what you're saying that. In addition, I think that
the prophecy, they don't really know what that is that
they're guarding. They just know there's something that he wants
in the Department of Mysteries. They don't know that it's
a prophecy about Harry, right, So I think that they're
they're thinking, which.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Is ridiculous because Dumbledore knows, like, yeah, well, I think
that there too.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
I think that it's I think Dumbledore doesn't necessarily want
them to all know about the prophecy, right, yeah, because
it's also harm Harry, you know if if it gets
out that he's chosen.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Yeah, right, it does harm Harry, like you know, some
of them.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
So I think he gives them limited information, but it's like, oh,
he's trying to get something from here that we have
to stand watch.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I don't believe there's a single person among us here
who would betray me, so as Harry says.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Yeah, So anyway, it's all very convoluted. It doesn't really
get totally answered.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Watch, We'll have somebody come to us and give us
a very simple explanation that.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
I've talked before too, if you probably. But I think
I think I'm I think I'm believing what I'm saying here.
Of that the Order was kind of describing it vaguely
because they had a vague understanding as well, and they
also kind of believed something that they thought Voldemort was
going to be able to possess Harry, because that makes
sense as as something he can only get by stealth,
(41:07):
like that he's doing it underground, like possessing Harry but
he's not. I mean, yeah, the possessing possessing Harry is
not exactly what's happening. But that's why acclements he's so important,
you know, right, right? Okay, Well, thank you qqot WP
for helping us and for making us think. Yeah, it
really did make us think.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Cora does Cora has a way. Yeah, she's she's a
flighty little bugger, but she has a way. She'll get
through to you.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
She'll be a fickle friend. Yes, Cora is as Cora does.
Remember that. Okay, what about the moral of the week.
This is not a page where Harry really resolves anything.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
But no, I don't think that we've like necessarily I
mean I think once you get to the end of
this scene and this, like when you get to some conclusion,
Like I think that the moral kind of is like
it's better to like not stew on things, right, try
to figure everything out on your own. It's better to
like share your feelings and go through things with people.
But that he hasn't really come to that on this
(42:05):
page yet.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Right, Maybe maybe our moral could be something about, like,
do not assume that the people around you aren't fighting
their own battles.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
That's right, everybody has their struggles, Harry.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Just because they're not all being sorried that they're possessed
by Voldemort doesn't mean that they're not going through anything, right, Well,
these innocent, clean people, yet he doesn't know that. Like
maybe they appear clean and innocent, but they they're probably
fighting their own battles just like he is.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
So I think, I mean, it's isn't this Christmas Day?
And they're oh, not quite maybe not quite. I was
gonna say it was like a.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Couple of days with people. That's why they're traveling by
train because they don't want umbrage to know that they're
not right.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, okay, So anyway, yeah, I think so.
I think that's probably the moral of the week.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yeah, so never assume that, never assume that, I guess
we don't have to make it a double negative.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Or never don't assume that you're the only one with problems.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
Yeah, perfect, perfect, Yeah, all right, I think that's about it.
We've got here. I think we're ready to rank this
page or sorry, rate this page out of ten. Last
week's was a five out of ten. I feel like
this might be lower. I don't know. Yeah, get out
(43:26):
of ten. When we first started doing this, We're like,
we're not going to give much lower than six ever.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
But well, I mean, just being a half page already
kind of I think it's kind of entertaining just because
it's like getting into Harry's mind. But I think, like, yeah,
it was more. It was probably like a four.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
I think, yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking as well.
Four seems right because I mean, again, we're not giving
it a forty percent here, like, but I think it
is a like relative to what's a seven. This is
significantly worse than the page that we did two weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Right, and just not as much to go through and
talk about.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Right. I did want to be a half page, right,
I did want to share what Justin said because we
read him on that he said, you clocked me. I
was absolutely in the middle of thinking that you needed
to recalibrate to using the whole of the number scale
when you called me out. So that's that's what we're
doing here.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
We are recalibrating right now.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
Well, no, I think we're not recalibrating that. That's right.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
We didn't need to recalibrate, right, we know.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
Justin, we know what we're doing exactly And I said
to him, how the turntables because he loves to clock us,
like assume what we're going to say and stuff, and
two could play at that game justin that's right. So yeah,
I think a four seems right for this page. And again, like,
this is not a four out of ten, Like if
(44:54):
we're comparing up this to a page of Twilight, this
is probably much better than most pages from that or
like another book that is mediocre, you know, right, Yeah,
but for the Harry Potter series, this is a four.
And given that four, I think we can assume this
is not going to be ousting elf tails, that's the
(45:16):
King of the Hill.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
No, I don't think so it's gonna take a little
more than that.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
That would be quite the upset if we gave it
a four out of ten and then we're like, yeah,
this is the best page we've read so far.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yeah, I don't think that it needs to do that.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
All right, without further ado, I have the D seven
in my hand and I'm gonna roll. Okay, we got
six six, and now switching over to the D ten
for our first it doesn't go up to page eight,
does it to?
Speaker 2 (45:47):
Okay, I think that was just seven hundred.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
So should I start with the D seven then?
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Well, I mean it's up to you if you want
to just reroll.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Okay, we'll reroll. Seven is the first number.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
Okay, let me just make sure that its ok to seven,
but don't cheat and see what I'm not going to
It might only go to six something.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Yeah, that only goes to six fifty two.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Okay, So should I roll a D six first?
Speaker 2 (46:17):
No, then it's seven because you don'tant to have zero,
So yeah, okay, seven would count as zero.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
Yeah, alright, three is first. Okay, Now say book six,
page three hundred eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
All right, so where do we think that's going to be?
Speaker 1 (46:39):
Definitely guess you go ahead first.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
I usually gonna say, like I want to slug horns lessons.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
I was gonna guess birthday surprises.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
Yeah, the ar scene, I hope. So that's a good scene, yes,
exactly three eighty eight right, yes, okay, exciting.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
Exactly, very exciting. So that will be next week and
two other things to get excited for next week. Not
only will we be talking about Book six, page three
hundred eighty eight, and not only will we also be
sharing the band and album name results from this week,
but we will also are you ready for this, Alice,
(47:20):
but boom boom be sharing the band and album name
results from two weeks ago. Now, it was so exciting
from two weeks ago at the time. So from last
week from book one, page three h four, right, there
will be a lot to discuss next week. Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
There will be a lot to discuss, and we will
we will be making a meal out of it.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
And I pray right now that this page three eighty
eight is not a half page like this one was,
although I think we did a pretty.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Good job again, and I also I also pray that
we'll have some food on it. I was gonna say, well, now,
waite a while since we've gotten a food and.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Dry out here. Yes we have a Last week we
had a delicious feast, but it was not no details of.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
We have been hungry. It is dry out there people.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Well, fam, I guess the best we've done for food
is we made a meal out of this page. But
that's that's saying something. If we're that hungry, we're eating
the book.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
And Harry could have been having some snacks on the train.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
That would actually helped him a lot. I'd like to
see a.
Speaker 2 (48:21):
Trolley witch on the Muggle train to see how she compares.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
We already made this joke. We said we could have
gone to the snack car, So I know, I'm.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Just saying I didn't come up with the idea at
the time. Why didn't we have a trolley woman to
compare to the trolley witch.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Yeah, that would be the cherry on top. That would
be That would have been really nice for this page.
It would have helped you another food.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
Memory or another food metaphor. And that's how desperate we are.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
That we are hungry, all right. So make sure that
