This week we're dipping our toes into the Inferi-infested waters of life and death philosophy- but with magic! How does the Wizarding World treat death? Does magical peoples' ability to see dead loved ones via portraits or th...

We're finally healthy and (mostly) sane, and what better way to triumphantly return than with a discussion about Regulus Black and Kreacher's Tale! We're dissecting, debating, and just generally getting devastated by RAB's sa...

We're back with the DUDES, and good lord there's lots of drama up in here. We're taking Sirius Black to court, giving Marlene her moment in the sun, swooning once again over Madame Pomfrey, and extolling the white trash virtues of Myrtle Beach, SC. We'll see you in there Foxies. Support the show Su…

The prodigal Kev has returned from his travels to the distant land of Orlando, Florida and brings tales of the mystical Epic Universe, including their brand-new Ministry of Magic and Wizarding Paris. He's giving us the (99% s...

We're back with those wee lil' cheeky blokes this week as we work our way through chapters 94-96 of All the Young Dudes . Some Hamilton-level forgiveness, some harsh truths from ol' Mad-Eye Moody, and Sirius can't seem to sto...

Did you just get a hint of salt on your tongue? It's probably because the time has come for another one of Amanda's Salty Chaps, this time Book 7's "The Bribe". We're taking sides in Lupin vs Harry, lamenting the tragedy that...

This week, it’s the moment in All The Young Dudes that we knew was coming and is just as rough as we anticipated: the Snape-almost-eats-it-or-should-we-say-almost-gets-eaten prank. It’s the immediate aftermath, Remus is in an...

It’s time for another deep dive, and this time the honor goes to the ultimate enemies-to-lovers arc of the entire series: James Potter and Lily Evans. We’re exploring what we know about them canonically as well as the ways in...

This week, Amanda’s back on her salty chap sh*t and presenting Book 5’s “The Department of Mysteries” for discussion. We’re drawing all kinds of existential metaphors from the myriad rooms of this godforsaken magic government...

This week, it’s a long-overdue return to our favorite foursome as we cover All the Young Dudes chapters 88-90. Things are getting tense, teenagers are really teenagering, and the Snape feud is reaching new levels of intensity...

We’re back and hoping you haven’t forgotten our existence! For our triumphant(?) return after a couple of choatic weeks, we’re discussing the shops and businesses of Harry Potter’s magical world. Which shops do we wish we cou...

We’ve returned from our one-week Thanksgiving hiatus, back hanging with our favorite Young Dudes, and these three chapters do NOT disappoint. We’re talking broom cupboards, the ol’ Hufflepuff behind-the-greenhouse special, an...

This week, we’re bringing you another of Amanda’s Fave Chaps (rebranding to Salty Chaps pending) and revisiting the beloved “Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs” from Prisoner of Azkaban . We're drawing all kinds of parallel...

Well we’re apparently not done yappin’ just yet, since we’re bringing you another weirdly-long episode. This time, we’re rounding up recent news from the Wizarding World. We’re covering the HBO series casting news, the full-c...

In this week’s jumbo-sized episode, we’re plodding our way through the next three pretty dense (and sometimes deeply uncomfy) chapters of ‘All the Young Dudes’. Join us as we extol the virtues of British name-calling, reminis...

Join us this week as we don our best handmade ‘A’ and ‘K’ sweaters, cast a couple of housework spells, and get cozy at The Burrow- that’s right, it’s the deep dive of The Weasleys! What do the Weasleys have in spades, even th...

It’s time for the very first of Amanda’s Fave Chaps, and the premiere selection is Book 6’s “Snape Victorious”. We’re renewing our membership to the Snape Haters Club, theorizing about who exactly is conducting the Hogwarts E...

This week, we’re giddily returning to All the Young Dudes after FAR too long away from these rapscallions. These chapters have us reminiscing about the start of our relationship, singing REO Speedwagon multiple times, and rea...

We’re back with a brand new season and feeling a bit revolutionary- so we’re discussing the first, premiere, OG Order of the Phoenix. What would the original Order’s chances of victory have been had the whole “Lily’s sacrific...

In the final episode of Season 11, we’re omitting our usual segments and enjoying a good ol’ fashioned meandering exploration into some random Wizarding World questions AND crowning the inagural Foxie House Cup Winner! Enjoy ...

It’s time to head back to mid-70s Hogwarts and our beloved baby Marauders as we cover chapters 76-78 of ‘All The Young Dudes’. We’re discussing the rules of house parties that are playing DMX and getting emotional thinking ab...

This week, Kev has bestowed another Fave Chap in the form of Book 7’s “The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore”, and we are talking about shattered illusions, the perils of teenagerdom, how bad we feel for Hermione, and (unexpe...

It’s time to return to 1970’s Hogwarts and our favorite boys- The Marauders. We’re covering the very consequential chapters 73-75: exploring werewolf lore, Remus’s proclivity for muggle fighting tactics, and obsessive crushes...

We’re FINALLY back, healthy (for the moment anyway), and taking a dark ol’ dive into the topic of the Death Eaters. What motivates people to join these fascists? Who are the most interesting Death Eaters? And what paralells d...
