Buckle up kids, it’s time for another Dark Dive and this one’s a doozy- we’re wading through our deep and very thick hatred and dissecting the character of Dolores Umbridge. Is there room for compassion for her (don’t hold yo...

We’re making our way further into the seminal fanfiction ‘All The Young Dudes’ and things are getting HEAVY (and we don’t just mean the rain cloud) with young Remus. Stories from our youth, a shocking amount of bad singing, a...

This week, we let ChatGPT suggest a random chapter to revisit and ended up with ‘The Unbreakable Vow’ from Book 6- a chapter that both of the Wilsons thought was an entirely different chapter! Kev misremembers the names of ma...

The Wilsons are exploring a new frontier- fanfiction! And we’re starting this journey with the first 10 chapters of the beloved ‘All The Young Dudes’ by MsKingBean89, a Marauders-Era Opus that focuses on a young Remus Lupin. ...

Welcome back Foxies!! It’s Season 10 and we’re coming out the gate evilly with our very first Dark Dive- an examination of Tommy “Daddy Issues” Riddle. We’re talking about Voldy’s integrity as a villain, our own complicated p...

It’s our Season 9 finale and we’re topping this baby off with the #1 entry on Barnes and Noble’s list of the 15 Best Harry Potter Chapters- Book 7’s eternally devastating and tragically beautiful “The Forest Again”, which cou...

Season 9’s penultimate episode has arrived and appropriately we’re tackling the penultimate chapter on Barnes and Noble’s list of the 15 Best Chapters of Harry Potter- Book 7’s ‘The Prince’s Tale’. We’re talking about the Hal...

Our trek through Barnes and Noble’s 15 Best Harry Potter Chapters is on the emotionally devastating home stretch as we crack the top three, and this week we’re swimming through a very strong current of our own tears and revis...

This week, we’re being brave little toasters and talking all things Dahk Ahts (and defense against them). What’s the difference between a jinx, a hex, and a curse? Is James Potter a de facto Dark Wizard? What even defines dar...

We’ve reached #4 on Barnes and Noble’s ’15 Best Chapters of Harry Potter’ and this one is the one that started it all- Book 1’s “The Boy Who Lived”. What makes it a great chapter and is it in fact one of the best opening chap...

You can’t have gold without silver (or maybe you can- we’re not metal experts) and this week we’re deep-diving The Silver Trio of Neville, Luna, and Ginny. Is this trio actually better than their Golden counterparts? What are...

We’ve cracked the top five in Barnes and Noble’s best Harry Potter chapters, and this one will hit you right in the emotional balls- Book 7’s epic and brutal ‘The Battle of Hogwarts’. We’re covering everything from McGonogall...

Mooncalves and dragons and nifflers- oh my! This week, we're talking about the non-human side of the Wizarding World. What are the ethics of eating magical animals among witches and wizards? What exactly makes a magical creat...

After a longer-than-expected break, we are back-ish! While our promised 'Beasts of the Magical World’ episode is pushed to next week and The Wilson household is still somewhat cattywampus (look it up), we simply love you all ...

We're up to number 6 on the Barnes and Noble list of the 15 best chapters of Harry Potter, and this week we're going aaaaaall the way back to Chapter 5 of Book 1: Diagon Alley. What makes this a great chapter? Masterful world...

This week, we're looking deeply into the soul of everyone's favorite angsty blonde- Draco Malfoy. We're talking about the ‘importance of being ordinary’, all the ways in which Draco’s personality was doomed from the start, an...

We've reached #7 on the Barnes and Noble list of the 15 best Harry Potter chapters- Order of the Phoenix's ‘Career Advice’. Some McGonagall GOLD, a classic Maurauder heart-to-heart, and a couple of Weasleys giving the proverb...

Well, we've finally crossed the finish line of the little play that tried real hard- Cursed Child. For a play that has overall recieved a lukewarm-at-best reaction from The Wilsons, the final scenes had us feeling all warm an...

Put on your best Scottish tartan and join us in celebrating MOTHER (Minerva McGonagall). We all agree she's awesome but this week we're digging into the reasons why, including her effect on Dumbledore's puppet-master ways, he...

While this week admittedly gets off to a very silly start, we promise we're bringing you some actual discussion about the next great HP chapter on the Barnes and Noble list- Goblet of Fire's “The Parting of the Ways”. Kev is ...

It's time for more Cursed Child this week, and things are getting SPICY. Is it the Halloween spirit? A full moon? A lunar eclipse? Bad writing? The Wilsons are duking it out over the finer points of this portion of the (long, slow) march towards the end of the (not canon) opus.  Support the show…

Our second round of headcanons is not to be missed- listeners have sent us everything from Dumbledore-Subconscious-Series-Reframing to missing Marauder moments (Mall-rauders, anyone?) and ya'll. It's an emotional roller coaster.  Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandt…

The Barnes and Noble list has been located again and our progress through the 15 best Harry Potter chapters is undeterred! This week, we're discussing number 9 on the list- Half-Blood Prince’s “After the Burial”. What makes this chapter, which may not be the most obvious choice, one of the greats? …

We're making more progress in Cursed Child, we've reached the inevitable Voldemort Sex conversations, and somehow this is not the strangest thing we'll discuss this episode.
