The famous shot from 'Jaws' is known (among other things) as a "Dolly Zoom". Here's some more info about it! The mantra Amanda mentioned was "Om Mani Padme Hum". While the meaning of it is somewhat debated (it IS in Sanskrit after all), literally it translates to "praise to the jewel in the lotus". The Dalai Lama has said that it is the "most vast" of all the mantras, as it contains all of the teaching of the Buddha in one phrase. Here he is speaking about it: Prophecy: Marriage Lessons:

It seems all Kev needed to conquer two chapters for the first time this season was some of Molly Weasley's onion soup. This week, we're talking The Burrow, French Girls, and getting goosed by a Probity Probe. Plus: the Charmin Baby rumor, ring composition, and a visit from Draco MalKev!

Dumbledore's rare form continues this week as he plays Slughorn (and Harry) like a fiddle. The Wilsons return to the subject of The Greatest Wizard of All Time's bathroom habits, Kev casts Slughorn with a very unlikely actor, and Sluggy's hometown is re-christened...Budlight Bubblebath.

Another day, another Dumbledore FLEX chapter. This week, The Wilsons are celebrating his annihilation of The Dursleys and their incredibly bad manners as they dive into Chapter 3 of Half Blood Prince, 'Will and Won't'. Is Hogwarts just an orphanage for unwanted house elves? Why are both Amanda and Kev falling asleep during major medical tests? And oh hey Kevin Bacon!

It's time for Spinner's End and fair warning there are a LOT of threesome jokes.  Does Kev believe a word Snape is saying to Bellatrix and Narcissa? And what did he get REALLY wrong about the Unbreakable Vow? Plus, Amanda and Kev talk roller skating songs, history in the Wizarding World, and Nicholas Cage.

WE’RE BACK FOXIES! It’s time for Season 6, and Kev has set us a slow pace from the jump when he decided The Other Minister was so chock-full of conspiratorial goodness it deserved it’s own episode. We’re talking cover-ups, Billy Bob Thornton, our complete ineptitude with British government, and of course- aliens.

This week, The Wilsons are tackling some listener questions that didn't make it into Season 5. What are the rules about metamorphmagi? Where would Amanda and Kev go on wizarding vacation? How does having and not having ADHD impact consumption of a fandom? Where the EFF are Harry's grandparents?? The answers to these, and many more, in this Episode of Requirement.

We've wrapped up another book and you know what that means! It's time for another review of everything the great Seer Kevlawney got right, wrong, and in-between throughout Season 5. Join us as we revisit every Book 5 prophecy- from the so-spot-on-it-gave-Amanda-chills-when-he-said-it to the OOF-that-was-a-big-swing-and-a-miss. Plus, our upcoming schedule for the next few weeks and a special surprise for a recently-injured Kev. Support the show (http://patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound)

The Wilsons may have read the final words of Book 5, but that doesn’t mean they’re done with The Order of The Phoenix just yet. It’s time for another MOVIE EPISODE! And while Amanda and Kev have some big compliments to give, the first film of the David Yates-era isn’t getting out of this one completely unscathed. Plus, The Wilsons talk recasting and cinematic marriage lessons! Support the show (http://patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound)

It's the final chapter of Order of the Phoenix and The Wilsons are reflecting on which war is beginning at this moment and why it's not the one you think, Harry is a ghost, weird centaur sex stuff, ice dancing, and the band Train. Plus, our very first Book-long Ultimate Winners and Losers with feedback from you! Support the show (http://patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound)

The Wilsons are back to Mortal Kombat "FINISH HIM" your feelings with the second half of "The Lost Prophecy" and for good measure Amanda's accepting Dumbledore's apologies but keeping him the hook for a few things, Kev's got some thoughts on the Fountain of Magical Brethren, and the emotional roller coaster evens out with a Richard Marx sing-along.

For the first time in FFH history, a single chapter requires two weeks to cover. There are just that many emotions. It's time for Kev (and Harry too we suppose) to learn the truth about The Lost Prophecy, and The Wilsons are processing some grief in the process. We won't lie to you: it's not an entirely smooth journey, but in true Wilson fashion, there are some laughs (and Seinfeld references) among the tears.

It's time for the epic showdown between old Snakeface and the only one he ever feared and there's a lot to unpack. But before that, we gotta twist last week's knife just a little bit more by dissecting the gut-punch that is how Harry knows Sirius is really gone, talk about Harry's major BDE with Bellatrix, and discuss Amanda's super-human hearing.

Guys, if you skip Beyond The Veil it doesn’t change the outcome. The Golden and Silver Trios have made it to the Department of Mysteries, where noses will be broken and tears will be shed. Join us as we talk baby-headed Death Eaters, demand the head of the literal worst Bellatrix Lestrange, and pour one out for the homiest of the homies Sirius Black.

It's been a totally normal and completely uneventful week here in America, there's absolutely nothing to see here, definitely nothing causing anxiety and OH what a coincidence it's the same deal at ol' Hoggy Warty Hogwarts. Just totally normal. No visions, no sadistic Headmistrisses, no violent Centaurs...yeah you get the idea. Just- meet us in here and we'll talk about it.

It's a new year, and The Wilsons are barreling through two chapters faster than Hagrid on his way to visit the 16-foot tall burden he's about to put on a couple of children. But beyond Grawp and the West Side Centaur Story, your hosts are also diving deep into O.W.L.s, Auror brutality, and Harry's terrifying vision at the end of Chapter 31. We're closing in on the end of Order of the Phoenix and Kev's hunger for war is only growing. Support the show (http://patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound)

Harry's having an existential crisis and the only cure is a highly illegal conversation with his escaped convict godfather! The Wilsons are tackling Chapter 29 as their last episode of 2020 before they send this year back to hell where it belongs, and covering the career paths they would want to follow in the Wizarding World, a sound that has Kev wanting to "peel the skin off his own face", and what exactly the Property Brothers would have in mind for Grimmauld Place.

There are defining moments in every young man's life- first kisses, new friends, overcoming fears, and learning that your dead dad was a really huge asshole at 15. This week, The Wilsons are diving into the uncomfortable void of Snape's memories and cringing right along with our young hero. Plus, Umbridge is terrible at interrogation, Hogwarts has become a horrifying den of child abuse (or at least, more of one), and Amanda giggles at the word 'poo'.

Kids, get in here. The time has come for Ma and Pa to have a talk about Hermione. Look- it's not that we don't love our favorite curly-haired, blackmailing, hunger-striking child genius. It's just that we find her recent tactics a little bit...well...FREAKING TERRIFYING. Support the show (http://patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound)

Rita Skeeter's (*ahem* unpaid, see last week's episode) work is done and Harry's a bona fide Quibbler cover story! Besides the obvious deep dives into Harry's dreams, your hosts are also talking Harry/Voldemort rap battles, revisiting the age-old "is sorting a good idea?" debate (it's not), and discussing how hindsight in adulthood is really just your inner Hermione. Plus: Amanda's bad at fractions, "Tony, Tony, look at me I'm a-driving" returns, and Firenze is back and hotter than ever. Support...

In honor of Valentine’s Day in the Wizarding World, The Wilsons are having some good old fashioned married-people fights! Round 1: Amanda vs Kev in The Battle of Madame Puddifoots! Round 2: Amanda vs Kev in The Battle of Fair Wages for Rita Skeeter! Plus: more incredibly mature poop jokes, The Beatles, and the finer points of cooking sherry.

It’s time for Occlumency lessons, and it may be late but it’s still chock full of Snape-hating, literary interpretation, and inappropriate penetration jokes! Join the Wilsons as they talk meditation, terrible Netflix shows that Kevin loves, and Amanda’s 42-hour insomnia. Support the show (http://patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound)

It’s that special time of year we all know and love- softly-falling snow, biscuits in the oven, fairy lights gently twinkling all around. The kind of season in which wishes come true and nothing could possibly go wrong. Join us this week as we tiptoe into Yon Olde English Yuletide with The Boy Who Lived and his mates- watch as he obsesses for days about whether or not he’s actively being possessed, chuckle bemusedly as his loose-cannon godfather makes up deranged carols, and delight as our ragt...
