0:00
Hello and welcome back to Inside Quotes Book Club, where my brother and I read some books.
0:04
But more specifically, we read books that turn into movies.
0:08
We are currently covering the first Harry Potter book, one chapter a week, with intentions of prepping for the new HBO show coming this Christmas.
0:15
I'm your host Jeremy and with me today is my brother Jonathan.
0:18
Jonathan, what you been reading lately?
0:20
I've been reading ~ Going Solo by Rold Dahl.
0:24
one.
0:26
That's amazing.
0:27
This is Rolt Dahl's autobiography of his years as a pilot in World War Two.
0:33
Interesting.
0:34
it's kind of like a I'm not actively reading it, but like there's been some nights where like I drank I drank too much caffeine and then I couldn't sleep.
0:43
So then I like I just kinda read a chapter or two of my book until I fall asleep.
0:47
So that's
0:49
helping you sleep.
0:50
But also I've been reading ~ Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.
0:54
K.
0:54
Rowling.
0:55
That's awesome.
0:56
Okay.
0:57
Me too.
0:58
recently finished chapter four, actually.
1:00
~
1:01
We should talk about chapter four this week.
1:04
This is the first time in my life that I'm actually reading multiple books, so I think that's okay.
1:11
I've always been a one at a time guy, but I'm just like I'm probably four or five books deep right now.
1:17
You can't stop me.
1:18
Yeah.
1:20
I can do that if it's like different enough stuff, you know, like I don't know.
1:25
Yeah, yeah.
1:26
It would be hard for me to do like four different fiction type books, you know, at the
1:31
same time to just to keep track of it, but I don't know.
1:36
Anyways.
1:37
Harry Potter's
1:37
always on the on the docket.
1:40
It's pretty easy.
1:40
Yeah.
1:43
And then John Green just came out with a new book, Hollywood Ending, that I haven't started yet, but I think it's gonna be my sixth book in my lineup.
1:51
So
1:51
I thought you were about to say I think it's gonna be my sixth favorite John Green book, which would be an insult, right?
1:57
It's probably my fourth at least.
1:59
Cause there he
2:00
has a couple that aren't my favorite.
2:02
But yeah.
2:03
I'm excited for it.
2:04
I've heard really good things about it, so.
2:06
This isn't a book club for other books though.
2:08
It's about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone.
2:11
actually, sorry.
2:12
I have also been listening to the Narnia audio dramas from Focus on a Family.
2:19
And ~ those are incredible.
2:23
I am on I I'm
2:25
telling you, I've listened to four I'm on five I'm on Voyage of the Dawn Treader, so I've I've done Magician's Nephew all
2:34
the way.
2:35
I've listened to almost five of their books in a week and a half.
2:40
They're they're short books.
2:41
Yeah.
2:42
~ but they are incredible.
2:45
~ it's on YouTube, so you should definitely do that.
2:48
And also, in other Narnia news, the magician's nephew trailer dropped today.
2:53
You excited about that?
2:55
Huh?
2:56
d I didn't watch the trailer yet.
2:57
Yeah.
3:00
Well, you should watch the trailer.
3:01
It's actually pretty good.
3:02
So it makes me very excited.
3:04
There's been a lot of controversy with that, but
3:06
I I've got some reservations about it, but I don't know.
3:10
think
3:10
there's some things that the the trailer makes me feel hopeful.
3:13
So
3:15
~ yeah, maybe if listeners, if you want us to cover the magician's nephew next, hit us up, let us know.
3:22
We might want to do that.
3:23
It's a quick book.
3:25
Jeremy, do you want to meet the keeper of the keys?
3:27
Yes, the Keeper of the Keys is this week's episode, this chapter.
3:32
and it's an exciting time because
3:35
the last chapter it ended on a cliffhanger.
3:38
who is at the door?
3:38
Who's knocking on this door?
3:40
~ it turns out it's a half giant named Hagrid that everyone loves, except for a couple ~ mean people in the series, but we'll figure that out later.
3:50
Ready for a chapter summary?
3:52
let's get a chapter summary for chapter four, The Keeper of the Keys.
3:56
Hagrid arrives and reveals to Harry that he is a wizard.
4:00
His parents were magical and they were murdered by Lord Voldemort.
4:04
We're just getting a lot of plot in this chapter.
4:07
Pretty sure it's Voldemort.
4:09
Voldemort.
4:11
Harry learns that Voldemort also tried to kill him as a baby, but mysteriously failed, leaving him with his lightning-shaped scar.
4:19
With the truth finally revealed, Harry begins his journey into the wizarding world.
4:24
And
4:25
Hilarity r ensues.
4:27
Hilarity does in fact ensue.
4:30
This is also a funny one, because it's like actually.
4:33
I don't know how funny it is, but it is actually kind of scary.
4:37
For the Dursleys.
4:38
Because it's Hagrid is coming to save the day.
4:42
Save him from the Durslies.
4:45
And the Dursleys can't do anything about it, no matter how hard they try.
4:49
They're s they're
4:50
nephew is going to get kidnapped by the a very large man, so sorry.
4:55
They don't care.
4:58
if they knew it was gonna take away, they'd probably be okay.
5:01
Yeah, I also don't understand why they're so hesitant.
5:04
They're like, We don't like this kid, just take him off our hands.
5:09
You know?
5:09
like the the only reason is that they ~ they say later on in the chapter is, ~ you know, we we swore when we took in we'd stamp out this nonsense.
5:19
So they're just like opposed to that to to wizards
5:23
in in general, so they just
5:25
don't want him to learn anything.
5:26
They'd rather just keep him in the dark his whole life.
5:29
Which is hard to do.
5:30
I feel like once a kid gets old enough they need to know everything,
5:36
There's so many tropes where ~ okay, sorry.
5:40
I have to admit, we watched Practical Magic Two in the theaters the other day.
5:46
When Jeremy says we, I had no part in this.
5:50
And guess
5:50
who hasn't seen Practical Magic One?
5:53
This guy.
5:55
But Avi is a fan of those and you know what?
5:58
It is horrible.
6:00
You
6:00
know, I was pleasantly disappointed.
6:04
I was.
6:05
That's the only thing
6:06
I was like, you know what?
6:07
We should go see that 'cause it's on my fantasy box office.
6:12
I hope the first one's good.
6:13
This one was pretty rough because there's a lot of Botox.
6:16
Legacy sequ yeah, okay.
6:18
the Lega
6:18
and it's hard to read their emotions, but the whole story is about Sandra Bullock keeping the secret from her daughter that they are witches and wizards.
6:29
So it's kinda relevant.
6:31
And it doesn't let's just say it doesn't end well keeping that secret.
6:36
~ you gotta tell your kids stuff when they can handle it.
6:39
That's basically what I learned.
6:40
So
6:41
Is this the plot to Shrek Five?
6:43
~ I hope not.
6:44
Don't bring that up right now.
6:45
I'm in a good mood.
6:46
Okay, sorry, sorry.
6:48
Hey, let's
6:48
talk about this ~ chapter artwork, shall we?
6:53
Shepter Atweck.
6:55
Iconic.
6:55
I love this one.
6:56
This is our first view of Hagrid and his shoes the size of bottlenose dolphins.
7:03
Yeah.
7:05
His face completely hidden by a long shaggy mane of hair and a wild tangled beard, and you could make out
7:10
his eyes glinting like black beetles under all the hair.
7:14
vivid imagery.
7:15
It it's weird, he kinda i f j even from the the sound of them, he sounds like warm and friendly.
7:26
I know.
7:27
No, I I've heard ~ even based on his name, Rubius.
7:31
It's kinda like Ruby Red, kinda just like that.
7:34
It kind
7:34
of I've heard people talk about his that having something to do with his character, how he's kinda hotheaded a little bit sometimes and like
7:41
~ but he's a very like warm character.
7:44
Does it say he's he has brown hair?
7:47
Or is he a redhead?
7:49
~ it doesn't say here.
7:52
I'm going into this as did JK Rowling use inspiration?
7:57
Does she take inspiration from Muppet's Christmas Carol?
8:00
The Ghost of Christmas present?
8:03
Cause that is Hagrid.
8:05
That is Hagrid.
8:08
It could be.
8:10
He does look like that puppet here.
8:12
He does.
8:14
No, this
8:14
is an iconic iconic piece of artwork.
8:18
I love this one so much.
8:19
It shows him like breaking down the door.
8:21
I'm here now.
8:23
There's a huge dude.
8:25
~ do you want to rank this?
8:27
yeah,
8:27
we should add this to our tier list.
8:29
Alright.
8:30
So the last time we ranked all of these, ~ and then now we're here for Is this A tier or is it S tier?
8:38
Or is it F tier?
8:40
What do you think?
8:41
Well, I like this art.
8:43
I might not be as high on it as you are.
8:45
Okay.
8:46
I feel like it's cool.
8:47
I I feel like the way that it's ~ distorted, it's probably from Harry's perspective.
8:53
So the feet are huge, but his face is so far away.
8:57
And
8:58
I think it's cool, but I I think I'd rather see more detail.
9:00
I don't know.
9:01
Okay.
9:02
At least the door underneath his feet,
9:05
Mm-hmm.
9:06
But it's so epic.
9:08
he's got his scarf in in the wind, he's got his owl.
9:14
Yeah.
9:16
It's pretty cool.
9:17
The force the difference perspective is pretty cool too.
9:20
What are your what are you thinking?
9:22
I I'm kinda more in the B range for this.
9:26
Yeah,
9:26
you think this is an A?
9:28
If you were gonna say S, I would have let you.
9:31
Okay, let's split the difference and go A then.
9:33
Okay, thank you.
9:34
Now we have one in each category except for F.
9:37
We can change it later, but we can compare.
9:40
It's definitely better than the letters.
9:43
No, it's cool.
9:43
It's cool.
9:44
Yeah.
9:45
Mm-hmm.
9:47
so yeah.
9:48
We will save the rest for next week as we keep going.
9:52
A tier it is.
9:53
I'm happy with that.
9:53
That's fine.
9:54
The Keeper of the Keys Okay, so shall we just dive into this chapter?
10:02
Yeah, let's get let's get into it.
10:04
There's a giant at the door.
10:06
Hagrid arrives and introduces himself to Harry and confronts the Dursleys.
10:11
That's basically what goes on in this little section.
10:13
And the first note that I wrote was just a little standout quote already.
10:19
Budge up, you great lump.
10:22
okay.
10:23
There's also ~ shut up, Dirzy Dursley, you great prune.
10:28
I highlighted that one.
10:29
That's a good one too, but
10:30
in the movie I feel like Robbie Coltrane improved and said, Dry up, Dursley, you great prune because prunes are dried.
10:38
So
10:39
W we'll have to take that one to the subtitles on our next watch.
10:43
I don't know.
10:43
that isn't that dry up, Dirse, you great prune?
10:46
Am I wrong?
10:47
I don't honestly know.
10:49
I'm pretty sure it's dry up.
10:50
'Cause he doesn't say shut up.
10:54
It's dry up, Dozley, you great prune.
10:58
Anyways.
10:59
Yeah.
10:59
~ and then this giant is just standing in this one room, two room cabin, and Harry is like, How does this guy know me?
11:10
And he just shows up with a chocolate cake.
11:13
Which is interesting 'cause it's chocolate cake, not strawberry with green letters.
11:18
It's chocolate with green letters.
11:23
that says Happy Birthday, Harry.
11:25
My only guess is why it was pink in the movie is because green and pink is a good contrast color.
11:31
So maybe it's a strawberry cake in the movie world.
11:35
But
11:37
yeah.
11:37
It'd be interesting to see how far they go in the ~ details, like are they gonna make that a chocolate cake in the HBO?
11:45
It's kinda setting him up to do that.
11:47
I would respect that.
11:49
Prediction
11:51
and then he Hagar just sits down on the couch.
11:55
He's the big man in the room.
11:56
He just makes himself at home.
11:58
Pulls out a pack of sausages to roast over the fire.
12:02
And for once
12:03
it's there's a w interesting feeling 'cause ~ Harry notes that he feels immediately warm as soon as he turns the fire on.
12:11
It was like almost refreshing for him.
12:15
~
12:16
Which is great 'cause he's in a cold cabin, but also there's more to it than just that kind of warmth.
12:24
I I like that as the chapter progresses it talks about him like sitting on the sofa and like as
12:31
it's progresses like the sofa just like keeps sinking like under his weight throughout the whole time.
12:37
It says like by the time he sits in it like the last time, the sofa's like the legs have are are broken.
12:42
It's completely like on the floor, basically, like the cushions have broke through, like
12:47
it's not built for half giants.
12:49
him.
12:50
~ yeah, but the sausages, which Harry he offered Harry he offered Harry to eat some sausages.
12:57
And, you know, if you've eaten stale cornflakes, cold tin tomatoes and a bag of crisps, a fresh warm brat or smoked sausage has to hit so hard.
13:06
Mm-hmm.
13:07
Not to mention you have chocolate cake for afterwards, but
13:11
feel like this also just ~ sets a precedent of just ~ maybe I'm making this up, but just Hagrid carrying so much stuff in his cl ~ pockets, ~
13:22
~ like it says the giant sat back down, taking all sorts of things out of his pockets.
13:28
A copper kettle, a squashy package of sausages, a poker, a teapot, several several chipped mugs
13:38
And a bottle of some amber liquid that he took a swig from before starting to make tea.
13:42
~ just imagine carrying that all all on you ~
13:46
Got that huge trench coat.
13:47
you know.
13:48
He might I wonder if it's nah, he seems like the guy that would just do that manually.
13:53
Like, you know, they have those concealment charms.
13:55
~ where
13:57
you can expand.
13:58
I don't know if it's a concealment charm.
14:00
I might be wrong.
14:01
But, you know, you can have a bag full of random stuff like Mary Poppins.
14:07
I wonder if he has got a magic trench coat.
14:10
All adds to the mystery of this guy.
14:11
You never know what he's gonna pull out.
14:14
Right to the last sentence of the chapter too.
14:17
'Cause he has mice in there.
14:19
Yeah.
14:21
Yeah.
14:22
But anyways, ~ he accuses Harry of not knowing anything, and Harry takes offense.
14:29
He's like, Well, I feel like I know like maths and stuff like that.
14:35
Which is another Britishism
14:36
'cause because the American version says math.
14:40
But the audiobook says maths.
14:43
I just feel like Americans are are right on that one.
14:47
So Mathematics Maths.
14:51
I don't know.
14:51
We'll see.
14:52
They both sound plural.
14:54
Hm.
14:55
That's pretty much what I've got for that first section.
14:58
Okay.
14:59
I I did have a a couple of things here.
15:01
~ well just like whenever he gives when Hagrid gives Harry the birthday cake, you know, and he it says that Harry meant to say thank you, but the words got lost on the way to his
15:12
mouth and all he could say was, Who are you?
15:15
Like, wait a minute.
15:18
Who are you?
15:21
you?
15:22
~ and he's he
15:24
just laughs.
15:24
He's like, True, I haven't introduced myself.
15:26
Rubius Hagrid, keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts.
15:31
Course you know all about Hogwarts.
15:34
sorry, no.
15:35
Hm.
15:36
And then yeah, he's he's like, didn't you ever wonder where your parents learned it all?
15:40
I mean it's
15:41
it's a classic like scene in the movie.
15:44
It really is.
15:45
there's so much dialogue here.
15:48
But yeah, yeah, I mean he d he has no idea about his parents, how they truly died.
15:53
we'll get to that in a minute.
15:55
And he has no idea about hogwarts or wizards or witches or any magic in general.
16:01
Yeah.
16:02
~
16:03
until now.
16:04
Page forty nine.
16:06
~ one other thing I was gonna bring up here.
16:09
Okay.
16:11
~ it says Hagrid is the keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts.
16:15
So what does that entail?
16:17
Okay.
16:18
So he is the landscaping guy.
16:24
And he has the key to all
16:26
the maybe the Quidditch Stadium.
16:29
~ some of the gates around the area.
16:33
But I w I just wonder what all these keys go to.
16:35
Because I feel like Filch needs a good set of keys.
16:40
He's kinda like the janitor.
16:43
Yeah, does Filch report to Hagrid?
16:44
Who is Filch's boss?
16:46
Probably probably
16:48
Dumbledore, but
16:50
Yeah, 'cause
16:50
their work together in the Forbidden Forest scene later on in this book.
16:54
Spoiler.
16:55
Detention.
16:56
~
16:57
I i is Hagrid Filch's boss?
17:01
What a fun what a fun theory.
17:04
No, Mrs.
17:05
Norris is.
17:07
People
17:08
will get that joke in a few chapters.
17:10
Mm-hmm.
17:12
Yeah, I I did just a quick Google search and just like it just basically said Haggard maintains the school grounds, manages the keys to Hogwarts doors, patrols the perimeter of
17:23
the Forbidden Forest, tends the
17:25
school garden in pumpkin patch, and performs special tasks for the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore.
17:31
He also traditionally escorts first year students across the lake in boats.
17:36
So we'll get to that that too, but I don't know.
17:40
Mhm.
17:41
But shall we shall we move on to the next section?
17:43
like a good job to me.
17:45
he's got a free place to live.
17:48
Not bad for like a third third
17:52
year ~ dropout, kind
17:55
of.
17:55
Not really a dropout, but yeah.
18:00
Mm-hmm.
18:01
But yeah.
18:01
~ I noticed that when he finally tells him that he's a wizard, it's different than the movie.
18:08
He says everyone knows it as You're a Wizard, Harry.
18:13
But it says, Harry, you're a wizard.
18:15
Mm-hmm.
18:17
Yeah, which way do you prefer?
18:20
You're a wizard Harry.
18:21
I feel like obviously.
18:23
The movie did that one better.
18:25
So
18:26
You think that was Robbie Coltrane just kinda switching some stuff up in the script?
18:31
I think so.
18:32
If he if he's really the mastermind behind Dry Up Dursley, you great prune, I feel like he has the capacity to change things to make it sound better.
18:42
I don't know.
18:44
I I I agree.
18:45
i it just is because that's what I'm used to with the movie, but I just felt like that delivery was so good.
18:51
It's kinda like the Mandela effect with ~ Luke, I'm your father.
18:56
No, I'm your father.
18:58
People get the quote wrong all the time.
19:00
We get quotes wrong all the time.
19:02
All the time.
19:03
So yeah, the ne the next section is Hagrid, you know, telling Harry about ~ the wizarding world and that he is he is in fact a wizard.
19:13
And he's in denial about it.
19:14
He's like, I'm not sure I can I'm
19:16
not sh you might be mistaken.
19:18
I'm the kid that gets abused by his and uncle.
19:21
Mm-hmm.
19:22
Yeah.
19:23
And and you finally see ~ you know, like Petunia talk about Invern and like finally admit to like what they've been hiding kind of thing.
19:32
And
19:32
~ you finally it she she finally reacts to talking about her sister in front of Harry for like pretty much the first time.
19:40
Yeah.
19:42
so Hagar tells Harry that he's a wizard and he gives him ~ the letter.
19:50
So he can finally read this letter for the first
19:53
time.
19:53
~ so this time it's addressed to Mr.
19:56
H.
19:56
Potter, the floor, hut on the rock, the sea.
20:02
awesome.
20:02
Just generic the C.
20:04
yeah.
20:05
And it says Hogwarts School
20:07
of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
20:09
Just a side note, one of the things I've always loved about these books is just the different like the the way like letters are written, the different fonts and stuff, ~ like
20:19
the signatures and Yeah.
20:22
Mm-hmm.
20:24
I've always just liked that, like different styles of writings.
20:27
do that.
20:29
But Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International
20:43
Confederation
20:43
of Wizards.
20:45
he's a Confederate.
20:46
I did not know that.
20:47
Yikes.
20:48
Yeah.
20:49
I don't know what a mugwump is.
20:52
I did pull up something.
20:54
I
20:54
I did pull up this Order of Merlin is like a designation that gets pulled up or mentioned
21:01
quite a bit like throughout the series.
21:03
~
21:04
there is like a like a Pottermore article about it, ~ that I found online.
21:10
I was I had that pulled up if you wanna if you wanna know about the the Order of Merlin, Jeremy.
21:16
I don't know, you were about to pull something up in your book.
21:18
up Mugwump right now and right now it doesn't even seem like it's a real word.
21:22
It's a real thing.
21:23
It's called ~ Mugwump is a term with several historical, political and cultural meanings originating from the Native American Algonquian language, meaning war leader or important
21:35
person.
21:37
So I wonder
21:38
if was like a war leader from the first war.
21:42
So
21:43
Supreme Mugwump.
21:45
the Order of Merlin is awarded by the Wizengamah, an organization that predates the Ministry of Magic, and nowadays functions as a combination of court and parliament.
21:55
The Order comprises a handsome golden medal of a green ribbon, first class, purple ribbon, second class, or white ribbon, third class.
22:05
The Order of Merlin, commemorating the most famous wizard of his time, has been
22:09
given since the fifteenth century.
22:10
Legends say that the green ribbon on which the first class order hangs is to reflect Merlin Merlin's Hogwarts house.
22:17
So does that mean Merlin was a Slytherin?
22:20
A green ribbon?
22:22
that's possible.
22:24
Not everybody's evil in Slytherin, though.
22:27
That's what we
22:27
get to learn.
22:29
So there's different tiers, ~ first, second, and third class.
22:33
A first class order is awarded for acts of outstanding bravery or distinction in magic.
22:40
Second
22:40
class is awarded for achievement or an endeavor beyond the ordinary.
22:45
A third class is given to those who have made a contribution to our store of knowledge or entertainment.
22:52
So ~ inside quotes is pretty good entertainment.
22:55
I'd say we at least get a third class Order of Merlin.
22:58
Yeah, yeah.
22:59
time I hear that, ~ as a title, I think third class, I think of the Pink Panther movie where Steve Martin is like Officer Jacques Cluseau, Gandarme, third class.
23:11
I don't know what he says, the middle.
23:13
And but he like
23:14
flings his badge and it sticks into his chest.
23:16
~ Sid class.
23:21
a good pull.
23:23
So yeah, Dumbledore has has done something, ~ an outstanding act of bravery, ~ or distinction in magic.
23:31
I'm pretty sure that's for defeating Grindaval, but
23:34
Probably.
23:35
we don't know about all that just yet.
23:38
Anyways, he's
23:41
he's got a lot of, you know
23:44
Certifications and designations by his name.
23:46
He's he he's a powerful dude.
23:50
And middle names.
23:50
Yeah,
23:51
we'll find that out too.
23:53
Here's what the letter says, though.
23:54
Dear Mr.
23:55
Potter, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
24:00
Please find enclosed a list of necessary books and equipment.
24:04
Term begins September 1st.
24:06
We await your owl by no later than July 31st.
24:10
Your sincer sincerely, Minerva McGonagall.
24:13
Deputy Headmistress.
24:15
I'm about what?
24:16
I'm just Harry.
24:17
Just Harry.
24:19
And so after this, Harry's like he he's thinking, there's a million questions running through his head and it says after a few minutes he stammered, What does it mean they wait
24:27
a ~ they await my owl?
24:30
And Hagrid says, G
24:31
gallopin, Gorgons, that reminds me And that's when he like scribbles out a letter to like
24:37
to Albus Dumbledore and says, Dear Professor Dumbledore, giving Harry his letter, taking
24:41
him to buy his things tomorrow.
24:43
Weather's horrible.
24:44
Hope you're well, Hagrid.
24:46
I love that he needed a closer.
24:48
~ weather's horrible.
24:49
Hope you're well.
24:51
Hagrid.
24:52
And then
24:52
this might be my favorite part of the whole chapter.
24:55
It says then Hagrid rolled up the note, gave it to the owl, which clamped it in its beak,
24:59
went to the door, threw the owl out into the storm, then came back and sat down as though this was normal.
25:06
This needs to be unhinged.
25:09
Visually unhinged.
25:10
She just like doesn't pay attention, just goes pa
25:13
And it needs to be really funny.
25:15
HBO, listen to us, even though
25:16
you already filmed and edited, redo it.
25:20
This is great.
25:21
No, that that cracked me up.
25:23
That was really fun.
25:24
~
25:25
Yeah, and then so Uncle Vernon chimes in and is like, he's not going and Haggard's just like, I'd like to see a great muggle
25:33
like you try and stop him, you know.
25:35
So Haggard then has to explain what a muggle is.
25:38
It's what we call non magic folk to people like them.
25:43
~ said, and it's your bad luck, you're you grew up in a family of the biggest muggles I ever laid eyes on.
25:49
Is he mean biggest they really aren't wizard people or biggest in s ty in size?
25:54
'Cause if it's biggest in size, that's really funny coming from a half giant.
26:01
Yeah.
26:02
~ I think just how big of like how just non magical.
26:08
Yeah.
26:09
Yeah.
26:12
I don't know, maybe he was talking about Dudley, 'cause he does try and turn him into a pig at one point.
26:16
He always be catching strays.
26:19
Okay.
26:21
So, Har Hagrid has given Harry his letter.
26:24
He's finally knows w what the what the letter's all about.
26:28
He's trying to make sense of it.
26:30
~ and basically Vernon starts talking about how yeah, he he swore he they'd stamp it out of him, you know, that he wouldn't go to this school.
26:41
And Harry's just like, You knew?
26:43
You knew that I was a wizard?
26:45
And this is where Petunia chimes in for the first time and is just like, Of course we knew
26:50
how could we not know?
26:52
And how much she Yeah,
26:54
it's it's like she it just starts pouring out of her like she had been like wanting to say it for years.
27:01
And just talking about
27:02
her sister.
27:02
~ It's like, she got her letter and disappeared off to that school and came home every vacation with her pockets full of frog spawn, turning teacups into rats.
27:12
I was the only one who saw her for what she was.
27:15
A freak.
27:16
Not I don't think anything will ~ I think that was an incredible monologue from ~
27:24
Fiona Shaw.
27:26
I think that was iconic.
27:27
I feel like she peaked in the series right there.
27:31
~
27:32
I think this scene in general in the movie I I don't really know how much more they can improve on it.
27:38
Like I feel like the
27:39
movie version is is pretty good.
27:42
I don't really know what they could do.
27:44
Yeah.
27:46
like to see him the he spends the night there.
27:50
Hagrid falls asleep on the couch.
27:53
yeah.
27:53
Yeah.
27:54
Mm-hmm.
27:54
And they leave in the morning, so maybe that's something they could do, but And then he explains
27:59
everything there and not at the leaky cauldron.
28:04
So
28:05
~ You're right, that is a change.
28:07
Yeah.
28:08
I didn't think about that.
28:09
But it's
28:11
But what they've done is great already.
28:14
So like it's fine.
28:17
So at this point, ~ Petunia says then she met that potter at school they left and got married, and had you, and of course I knew you'd be just the same, just as strange, just
28:26
as abnormal.
28:29
And then if you please, she went and got herself blown up and we got landed with you.
28:33
Blown up.
28:34
You told me they died in a car crash.
28:37
A car crash?
28:38
A car crash could Lily and James Potter It's an outrage.
28:43
A scandal.
28:44
No, that's pretty much what he says.
28:46
Yeah, we're quoting the book now.
28:48
Yeah.
28:48
~
28:49
good.
28:50
I feel like that that scene is way more quotable than that viral chess scene that ~ from Ron Not me, not Humani, you This
29:01
was that's a way better scene to to to quote, I think.
29:06
There's so much there's
29:07
so much there too of just yeah, just backstory and lore that is dropped here.
29:14
it's such an essential chapter.
29:16
And an iconic moment in the movie.
29:17
in the family.
29:19
Isn't it wonderful?
29:21
Betunia's villain monologue.
29:23
It's so so incredible.
29:26
They I I I don't have hope for the HBO because it was too good there.
29:30
But we'll see.
29:31
We'll see what they do with that.
29:33
I kind of feel bad for her too, because she was clearly overlooked as a kid.
29:37
But she turned sour instead of sweet.
29:40
at this point I'm kinda feeling bad for Hagrid because he thought he was just delivering a letter and now he's got to ~ deliver some bad
29:48
news.
29:50
Hagrid's like, I I never expected this, he said in a low worried voice.
29:55
I had no idea when Dumbledore told me there might be trouble getting a hold of ya, how much you didn't know.
30:00
It's like I'm not sure if I'm the right person to tell ya, but someone's gotta.
30:04
You can't go off to Hogwarts not knowing.
30:07
Yeah.
30:08
So
30:09
He he tries to go into the story of what happened the night his parents died.
30:13
Do you have any thoughts, Jeremy?
30:15
I I
30:15
do, I do.
30:16
~ so it's interesting even when like since Harry doesn't know what happened that night.
30:24
~ but it's interesting even though at this point Hagrid doesn't know what happened that night.
30:30
~ he is basically giving the POV of the entire public knowledge of this this story.
30:37
Like, not everybody knows what it is.
30:39
I don't think even Dumbledore knows.
30:41
I think we figured this all out later with the prophecy stuff in the later in the later books.
30:46
But people were just like he I guess he was just intimidated by Lily and James being like on Dumbledore's side, so he went to go kill him and I think he wanted to kill you because
30:57
you know, to make it a clean job.
30:59
Yeah.
31:00
And it's just interesting that that's just the perspective and there's a whole lot more to dive into later on in the in the books.
31:08
So so yeah.
31:12
~ yeah, I I agree.
31:14
He is he is just relaying what the general wizarding population knows about that night.
31:20
~ couple quotes that I highlighted.
31:23
One he said before, I j I just like funny phrases, so he said gallopin gorgons earlier.
31:29
And then
31:29
this time he's saying gulpin gargoyles, Harry.
31:32
You know.
31:34
And then when he's
31:35
trying to tell him about Voldemort.
31:37
He's like he he doesn't want to say it.
31:39
He's like you know who and he's like he's like can you say the name?
31:42
Could you write it down?
31:43
It's just like a classic quote.
31:44
Nah, can't spell it.
31:48
All right.
31:49
Voldemort.
31:50
and then he tells about ~ the people that he killed before and he listed them off and there's some interesting names here.
31:57
There's the McKinnons, the
31:59
Pruits, and the Bones.
32:01
Yeah.
32:02
Mm-hmm.
32:03
~ and we know Susan Bones is a ~ student at at ~ Hogwarts while Harry i in the same year as Harry.
32:11
~ so that made me question like is Susan Bones also an orphan?
32:15
Like you'd think that they would bond over that.
32:19
O over ~ yeah, Voldemort killed my parents too, But it doesn't say anything about the parents.
32:23
I looked it up and he it was like her grandfather and her aunt uncle.
32:29
Th
32:31
but that's still enough to bond over.
32:34
~ I feel like they could have been better friends at Hogwarts.
32:38
Yeah.
32:39
~ I guess if you look at it that way with like distant or just other relatives, probably a lot of people
32:46
were like, I did have like a relative that was killed during that wizarding war and stuff like that.
32:52
Yeah.
32:53
But also she was in like she ends up getting sorted to another house, right?
32:58
So th they don't
33:00
they don't interact.
33:01
That's weird 'cause there's f ten people in their class.
33:05
So so really you're saying Susan Bones is an N P C is what you're saying.
33:09
I wish not.
33:11
And I actually think
33:12
I think HBO is doing a good job of involving the other people.
33:17
The other students and like the NPCs of the movies.
33:20
of the trailer, ~ you get to see a lot of the different yeah,
33:24
side characters, other students.
33:26
Yeah.
33:28
I agree.
33:28
good.
33:28
We'll probably get some Susan bones in there.
33:31
So maybe they'll have something.
33:33
~ but there's the
33:35
series will cast their daughter as Susan Bones or something.
33:38
is an interesting thing.
33:39
That's Chris Columbus's daughter, right?
33:42
I thought that was Hannah Abbott.
33:43
I might have been wrong.
33:44
Maybe it is, yeah.
33:45
No, Susan Bones, that was right.
33:47
Susan Bones.
33:49
I knew you're going to.
33:51
Got to, you got to.
33:53
~ and then the McKinnons were th I didn't really find much on them.
33:57
~ but the Pruits.
34:00
Pruits are interesting because that is Molly Weasley's maiden name.
34:05
And the Pruits that were killed were her two brothers, ~ Fabian and Gideon.
34:13
Which is interesting because that's an F and G and so she named Fred and George after her brothers that died in the first Wizarding War by Voldemort.
34:24
No, that's that's true Pottermore.
34:26
Yeah.
34:26
That's that's legit canon.
34:28
So that's interesting
34:30
little f tidbit there.
34:32
And the McKinnons, you said you didn't find anything there?
34:35
Okay.
34:36
Yeah.
34:37
still N PCs in my head right now.
34:40
Maybe there's some McKinnon's in Hogwarts Legacy or something like that down the line.
34:44
I know of is Nathan McKinnon, the I NHL player.
34:51
And he's
34:52
very Canadian.
34:53
So
34:54
yes, I his name hasn't been on the list since he was born.
34:57
it says at this point something very painful was going on in Harry's mind.
35:01
As Hagrid's story came to a close, he saw a blinding flash of green light more clearly than he had remembered it before, and then he remembered something else for the first time
35:09
in his life, a high, cold, cruel laugh.
35:12
So this is kinda the start of ~ yeah, just like being able to kind of start to he
35:18
pick up some pieces of that that memory of that night and
35:22
getting these ki like kinda haunted by these like nightmares or these kind of flashes green light and hearing sounds of Holdemort.
35:31
He didn't know about it until until this moment though, you know.
35:35
Right.
35:36
And I think that pain in his head maybe it's referring to his scar burning?
35:41
I don't know.
35:42
Hmm.
35:44
Yeah, it doesn't say specifically, but
35:47
I do want to make note of the full cast audio edition.
35:50
When they talk about that high pitched squeal, that's Voldemort.
35:54
That's not his mom.
35:55
That's that's Voldemort laughing maniacally.
35:58
But like it's very
35:59
creepy, but not how we know Voldemort.
36:02
Like Voldemort is like deep voice, very s straight faced, like but this is like squeaky almost.
36:12
~ Wicked Witch of the West.
36:14
But that was just one person's take.
36:15
So
36:17
Another quote I highlighted from Uncle Vernon, just another funny phrase.
36:21
Load of old Tosh.
36:23
Lord of old Tosh.
36:26
Okay.
36:27
Good sling.
36:28
But I think that brings us into the the last section here.
36:32
Okay.
36:33
we've got a new direction.
36:34
We've got Hagrid standing up to Vernon.
36:37
He reveals a little bit about his own past.
36:40
And then he plans to take Harry to buy school supplies.
36:44
So that's the ending part.
36:45
And I think we start out with another standout quote.
36:48
I'm not paying for some crackpot old fool to teach him magic tricks.
36:53
~ again, that's
36:55
a movie success, you know.
36:57
Yeah.
36:58
Yeah.
36:58
And then Haggard's response, like, never insult Albus Dumbledore
37:04
oil.
37:04
in front of me.
37:06
He's just so loyal to to Dumbledore.
37:10
He he won't put up for any any slander against him at all.
37:15
Right, right.
37:16
Crackpudled fool.
37:17
I feel like he would enjoy that.
37:19
That that nickname.
37:22
Which got
37:22
this got me to think, like he's not gonna pay for some crackputtled fool to teach him magic tricks.
37:27
It made me think, how much does tuition cost at Hogwarts?
37:31
'Cause it's a school, they feed them, they board them and everything, you know.
37:34
You'd think it it would be a private school?
37:37
I don't know.
37:39
~
37:41
I was wondering 'cause it says something like his name's been down ever since he was born.
37:45
And it's like what is that process like?
37:47
Does like does someone put them on a waiting list or or do they just like pick wizards to go there?
37:54
Like, I don't know.
37:55
from the the wizarding birth hospital, women's hospital.
37:59
Saint Mungus' Saint Mungo's women's hospital.
38:06
And
38:06
they Yeah, they just have they keep track of to make sure they're not squibs, basically.
38:14
So
38:14
Does anyone get to be like ten years old and then their parents are like, man, we forgot to sign them up.
38:20
Is there any spots available?
38:21
You know?
38:22
I don't know.
38:23
not.
38:23
I'm sure not.
38:24
'Cause they didn't Harry wasn't signed up, He's not that special.
38:30
but I did look it up and it says that turns out Hogwarts is completely free.
38:35
It's like government funded, obviously, 'cause there's one government for that that school.
38:42
So it's pretty easy to fund.
38:44
~ but I mean they are in charge of
38:48
their own funds, like buying their school supplies, their owl, their their I don't know, their robes, uniforms, stuff like that.
38:58
All the stuff on the list.
38:59
And then I guess they're spending money.
39:02
I I guess that makes sense, like, you know, when we get to the Weasleys that, you know, their family doesn't have a lot of money.
39:08
H they wouldn't really be able to afford to send them to to private school, so it kinda makes sense, like.
39:13
even worse for Molly, 'cause w they have to buy stuff at the beginning of the year, but they have hand me downs.
39:19
~
39:20
struggle.
39:20
They have to get second hand books and stuff.
39:23
Molly.
39:24
Sheesh.
39:24
You're talented.
39:25
You have usable skills.
39:29
Yeah.
39:31
You don't even have to pay for tuition, like it's fine.
39:34
Ha ha ha.
39:35
Maybe she doesn't need to get a job then, but whatever.
39:38
I w
39:41
I just wish she would have gotten a job after Jenny goes.
39:44
That that would have made it so fun.
39:45
She could have been like, I've started my new career.
39:49
Yeah.
39:49
I don't know what she would have done.
39:51
Anyways, ~ so yeah, completely free at Hogwarts.
39:56
But he finally realizes all of the things that made him question whether he was a wizard or not.
40:02
And it's all starting to make sense.
40:03
Like the him running from Dudley and his gang and jumping force jumping onto the roof ~ the Brazilian Python deal.
40:17
Vanishing glass, yeah.
40:18
~ Yep.
40:21
So it's all making sense now.
40:22
And then Dudley becomes a pig.
40:26
Almost.
40:27
Haggard in the commotion he shoots his umbrella at Dudley and he grows a little pigtail.
40:34
Which is so funny.
40:35
I always thought like in the next one, I guess we can talk about that next week, but
40:40
How do they explain that to the hospital to get that off?
40:44
That's like you gotta be sworn to secrecy or something.
40:47
that's crazy.
40:48
I c I feel like I can't remember if it's in this one or in the next one.
40:54
At some point they do refer back to ~ him going to the hospital to have it taken off or something like that.
41:00
But yeah.
41:01
nine and nine and three quarters.
41:03
He's like, Well, we're just going there anyways, so we will take you.
41:09
Yeah.
41:10
But we'll get into that later.
41:11
This is chapter four.
41:12
Chapter four.
41:13
My bad.
41:14
yeah, Yeah, Hagrid points his umbrella at Dudley.
41:19
Flash of violet light, sound of a firecracker, a sharp squeal.
41:23
The next second Dudley was dancing on the spot with his hands clasped over his fat bottom.
41:28
Harry saw
41:28
a curly pig's tail poking through the hole of his trousers.
41:31
Mm-hmm.
41:32
He got his just desserts.
41:35
Haggard says, shouldn't have lost me temper, but it didn't work anyway, meant to turn him into a pig.
41:39
I guess he was so much like a pig anyway, he wasn't much left to do.
41:43
Hopefully
41:43
this is Dudley's final stray.
41:45
We'll see.
41:46
Kinda starting
41:47
to feel bad for the kid.
41:48
Man.
41:49
~ and then ~
41:50
after this we do get a little bit of Hagrid's backstory 'cause he you know, he's like,
41:55
I I I hope you don't mention this to anybody at school.
41:58
strictly speaking, I'm not supposed to do magic.
42:01
And he he mentions how he was expelled from Hogwarts in his third year.
42:06
but Dumbledore kept him on and everything.
42:09
Great
42:09
man, Dumbledore.
42:10
Great Matt Namador.
42:12
Yeah, that's awesome.
42:14
That must have been awkward though for him getting expelled and then all of like he just stays there and all of his classmates are just like, Hey Hagrid.
42:22
Miss you in class today.
42:27
Yeah, that's crazy.
42:28
I get I get to tell you what to do.
42:31
I'm ol I'm thirteen years old.
42:35
I wanna see a little mini series of of Hagrid throughout his young years.
42:41
Mm.
42:42
And Harry does try and ask why were you expelled?
42:44
And he's like, It's getting late.
42:45
There's lots to do tomorrow, ~ Gotta go into town, get your books and all.
42:51
So
42:51
book.
42:52
Maybe in the second book.
42:53
Chamber of Secrets, maybe.
42:54
I don't know what that's about, Setting it right
42:57
up.
42:58
That's pretty cool.
43:00
So
43:01
Yeah, and then next time we're off to Dygon Alley to do a little bit of shopping.
43:07
I love this next chapter.
43:08
I'm so excited for next week.
43:11
Be fun.
43:12
Alright, well do you want to go ahead and see what's on the trolleys?
43:16
Yeah, I could I could ha do a little snack.
43:18
So last week we finally got something new.
43:21
The fizzing whisbies.
43:23
So I have a strong feeling it's just gonna be a a Birdie Bots bean.
43:27
But we
43:27
will see.
43:28
Are you ready to spin the wheel?
43:30
I'm
43:30
ready.
43:35
What could it be?
43:36
Droubles!
43:37
We got a double whammy.
43:40
Okay.
43:40
We
43:41
got spared the birdie bots this week.
43:43
Yes, thank goodness.
43:45
Okay.
43:46
So this is a quote from the fourth movie we learn about Drubles.
43:52
There I'm sure we do in this book too, but ~ on the trolley Ron's like, just the Drubles Yep, just just just the Drubles.
44:01
And that's a big inside quote for us.
44:03
So it's Drobles Best Blowing Gum.
44:06
If you wanna show the package to them, Jonathan.
44:08
Yeah, ~ here's the the label here.
44:10
~ it's hard to see here.
44:14
Finest quality Jubals
44:15
blowing gum.
44:17
They're these blue ~ bubble gums here.
44:21
They're fine quality.
44:23
They're pretty shiny, honestly.
44:25
I feel like we'll just have to see how it is.
44:27
We have to blow bubble.
44:28
~ my.
44:31
~ crunchy.
44:32
Mm-hmm.
44:35
Takes forever to chew.
44:36
I know.
44:38
Well.
44:39
Yeah.
44:39
gumball in years.
44:42
Or
44:42
had bubblegum.
44:44
This is great.
44:45
I'll have to report back later on how long the the flavor lasts.
44:48
Hate to say it, this is not double bubble.
44:50
It tastes great though.
44:52
It has a good taste.
44:53
It feels like it's gonna be hard to blow a bubble.
44:56
I don't know if this is gonna
44:57
be the best blowing gun.
44:59
Okay.
45:00
I'm gonna go for it.
45:02
Okay.
45:02
Make you.
45:03
I already broke it.
45:06
Man, this is gonna take forever.
45:07
Yeah.
45:08
Three hours later.
45:10
Maybe it's prank gum.
45:13
Maybe it's a prank, like it never gets to be bubble blowing.
45:16
I think I need two of I feel like I don't have enough.
45:20
Hm.
45:21
And it's losing its flavor already by the time
45:22
it gets malleable enough.
45:25
If we were doing a tier list, I might put this on the bottom.
45:27
Yeah.
45:28
I imagine Drew Rule's best blowing gum in the wizarding world is ~ the biggest bubbles indestructible.
45:33
~
45:34
that's gotta be fun.
45:35
Yeah.
45:36
Hm.
45:37
What a shame.
45:38
That one didn't really pan out for us, but it tasted good.
45:42
Yeah.
45:43
And I'm already losing losing flavor.
45:46
I'm gonna spit it out in a minute.
45:48
It's been two minutes, I think.
45:49
I'm not quitting 'til I get a bubble.
45:51
It's just not good.
45:53
It's not working.
45:54
Huh.
45:55
This is great for the mic.
45:57
Yeah.
45:57
I'm I'm giving up.
45:59
Me too.
46:00
I've lost the flavor.
46:01
Yeah.
46:02
It pops as soon as I stick my tongue out.
46:04
All right.
46:05
Stick it by my ear.
46:07
Okay, so that was a dud.
46:10
up I wanted to blow a bubble with that.
46:13
Better than a vomit flavoured
46:14
birdie bond, but still, wasn't very satisfying.
46:19
true.
46:19
Feel like I've been able to even
46:21
blow a bubble with like a chiclet before.
46:23
You
46:24
know, if you get enough of maybe.
46:26
Feels so sad.
46:28
Yeah.
46:28
Tasted good, but yeah, and then just the flavor.
46:31
It's just it doesn't last very long.
46:32
Yeah.
46:35
This podcast is officially an anti Drubles podcast.
46:39
Yeah.
46:39
Now I just feel bad for Ron.
46:41
that's all he could get was the Jubals.
46:43
Yeah, I can't even blow a bubble with that.
46:46
Guys, I promise we can blow bubbles.
46:49
Like we know how to blow bubbles.
46:51
Like that's
46:51
that we could do that.
46:53
It's just poorly done.
46:56
Dried up gum.
46:59
