Intro

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Welcome to the potter discussion. Welcome back to the potter discussing discussing the Harry Potter books, films, TV show, and the Wizard World fandom. I'm your host, Oscar, and this is episode 324. Thank you everybody for joining me today. It is, of course, my pleasure to be speaking with you all. Tea Leaves is back. We are back. Season two is plowing right along with season two, episode three. We are making some really, really good progress here. Uh, and I am very excited to see where this episode will take us. We have some twists and turns, some drama to get to for sure. So we are gonna have a wonderful time uh uh with this episode. There are a few news items I want to get to before that related to the TV show. One of which is strangely enough, there are reports of bullying on set. I believe it was The Sun that posted uh about how some of the younger actors, like the extras, were kind of were fighting, and and one of them uh an interaction came to blows, I think was the name, uh the the wording that they used. So interesting stuff, and and uh I believe the TV show then said, you know, no matter how famous you are, that's the exact word, no matter how famous you are, uh they would be dismissing people on site for reports of bullying. So I didn't realize it was getting that serious, but I guess it is. So that's a shame that it has to happen, but there you go. In other more exciting news, there have been more leaks. I also think I believe also by the sun, was and you to tell you the truth, I don't know if I found the actual video, but there was a leaked video of Dagon Alley, and I did find, I couldn't like find it online, I don't know how, but I did see a an aerial you know footage kind of tour of one of the sets, and I think it might have been that, but the bottom line is we are getting more uh info on the TV show. We are seeing that that diegon alley, it resembles more of like a regular London street, you know, it's not uh twisting and turning and it's it's not like super super magical. And one of the interesting things is there was a um mentioned and like included in in the video is a uh store that wasn't in the films or the books. I believe it's like Akio Coffee, something like that, and it's I assume some wizarding pub, some some some coffee shop, and it is you know there's a there's like a flashing magical neon sign. So I will assume that that is a you know in a uh official edition, so that is that is pretty cool. But anyway, those are the news items before we get into T Leaves, which of course is the main course for this episode. If you have any questions or comments, anything at all you want to reach out with while you're listening, go ahead and tune that to thepotterdiscussion at gmail.com. That's thepotterdiscussion at gmail.com. And feel free to share this episode if you think there are any good points here, if you want to discuss it with a friend, definitely do that. Uh that would definitely help me out a lot. But that is everything I wanted to mention before we begin. So without further ado, let's get into today's episode.

Quick recap and life at the Burrow

SPEAKER_00 3:10

So now it's time that we get into the true episode. And of course, if this is your first time here, this is our series Tea Leaves. This is our version of the Harry Potter TV show. We are designing every episode uh of every single season, going through every single part of the story until the very first episode is actually released. So this is gonna be a wonderful series, and we always start off with a quick recap of the last episode. So last episode was season two, episode two, if you can, if you can believe it. And it was the beginning of the story as we know it. It was the beginning of Harry at Privat Drive. He was sad, he didn't get any par uh cars for his birthday, uh, and of course, there was the whole buzz about Mr. and Mrs. Mason coming over for dinner. Vernon was very excited about that. Uh, he told Harry to stay in his room and pretend he making no noise and pretend he doesn't exist. But of course, it doesn't exactly work out that way because unfortunately, uh Dobby the House self soj up causes a ruckus, and eventually a cake falls on Mrs. Mason's head. Dobby is the one who casted that spell, and then they run out in a fluster after an owl rushes in with a letter pertaining information about underage magic. Of course, Mrs. Mason is terrified of birds. Uh so sorry to her. That sounds really awful. Uh, and uh Harry is then locked in his room. Of course, he is he is in a prison sentence, he has to deal with that. He is fed food through a f uh flap and his bears bars on his window. It's really not a fun time, but we end the episode with uh with George, Fred, and Ron coming to his rescue. They f they have the flying Ford Angula, they attach the hook to his bars and they rip him off the window, get Harry onto the car with much drama and ankle grabbing and running back for things, uh, and then they are off into the moon set, I guess you could say. So that is where we left off, and we are opening this episode at their arrival to the borough. So this is a really, really important few moments in the episode because we are kind of meeting the Weaslies for the first time. Of course, we met them, like we know who they are, and we've we've talked to them, uh, but this is really seeing who they are for the first time, and that is something that we will never forget for sure. And here is the deal. Here's what I really want to get out of these first few scenes. I want to know what is life like? What is it like to be a wizard, you know, to be a magical family living, you know? What do magical families do? That's what I really want. And you know, if we spend 10 minutes just in the life of the Weaslies, I wouldn't be too mad at that. Not at all, actually. I think that would be a wonderful time uh spent on this episode. Because the truth is we get a little bit, like we we see their breakfast and you know, we kind of gloss over things and we see them, you know, and then eventually we go to diagonal alley with them, which of course we will. But what I really want to know is what's it like? You know, like is their schedule different? Do they eat at different times? Like, I wouldn't be surprised if like lunch doesn't exist if they just have, you know, like their their morning meal, and then they have like a a tea, and then they have like a supper at like eight, you know, something something you know slightly different, but like similar, you know, to us. Like, those are the kinds of things that I that I really want to know. And this is kind of similar to Hogwarts in the sense that we want to know uh what it's like to live. And I think that's one of the things that I'm hoping for Hogwarts. You know, we have these moments where we can just kind of be, where we can just kind of walk around the grounds and and enjoy like the the nature surrounding the castle. Those moments are gonna be really valuable, and I'm real I'm I'm hoping that we have plenty of them. And that's also what I want for the borough. I want to have the time just to relax, enjoying the scenery, enjoying the surroundings just for the sake of them being there. From what is described, the the borough is a really nice place, and I think we don't give it enough credit in the films. I think, especially in the Chamber of Seekers, we just kind of arrive and then you know Molly yells at the kids and then is is kind of fine with Harry, and then that's kind of it, you know. But I want to see like the ghoul, you know, in in in the attic, and I want to, you know, walk around their house and all that. And I feel like thinking about the set of the borough, I feel like it changes a little bit every single film. So I will definitely appreciate some consistency, but also, you know, consistently peaceful, I think is is is the is the key there. Because thinking forward, you know, the borough, I mean, it is a you know, uh in in the film, Bellatrix and Finger Greyback attack the borough in the Halfwood Prince, which of course I don't I believe it's not in the book, so we have moments like that. But the bottom line is the borough becomes you know a place of of war. It becomes kind of like headquarters after a while. And I want that shift to mean something, you know. I want us to be to to realize that that that is the case, and then think, wow, we lost something. We lost something. And I think that something should be this this kind of safe haven, this this this this feeling of peace. And I mean, if you think about it, the borough is I mean, Harry says it's his second favorite place on earth besides Hogwarts. I think that totally makes sense, and I absolutely don't think that's wrong, but I want this to kind of be his safe place. Hogwarts is not dangerous, but it's intense, you know. He has people he doesn't like, he has to difficult classes, and there are dangers, you know, as the years uh go on. Even next book, you know, Sirius Black is is on the run, you know, and he is he is after Harry, we are led to believe. So that is not a fun time. I would not want to be Harry at at Hogwarts next next season. So it's gonna be difficult, you know, for Harry to cope with all that. And I think the borough, uh, you know, especially in the beginning, is that place. Is that place of like, okay, I can relax, maybe something will happen, but I just, you know, he just doesn't have the brain power. He can just sit down, he doesn't have to think about it. That's the kind of thing that that's the kind of place that the the the borough has to be, and this is the very first time that we get to see it. So I think this should really mean something. It should really mean something that he is enjoying this time and really seeing this nature uh so we can really become ingrained as a place of peace and solace for everything. That would be uh really, really nice. But that is where we open with this episode. Uh but let's move on.

Off to Diagon Alley!

SPEAKER_00 9:59

Now that we've set this nice peaceful baseline, I think it's time to get going. So it's off to Daigon Alley. I definitely want to have those staple moments of like, you know, breakfast where uh Arthur asks Harry about the uh proper use of a rubber duck. We definitely have to have those those those classic moments, but I think with those time, with the time that we have allotted for the beginning of this episode, I think it is it is a uh perfect time to move on. So flu powder is the order of the day. Uh, and I am very excited to see how it how it all uh is translated. I think it's it's interesting that it's described as like spinning in the book, but it's kind of shown as just like green flash of flame, and then they're kind of sucked away. Those are very similar, and honestly, I think it would be kind of a mix. If if if I was doing it, I would, you know, they would throw the flu powder and then they would start like shrinking down, kind of like how they do it in the final. Is it the final movie? Or it's it's in the in the Deathly Hollows where the trio has taken Polygon's potion and they are sneaking into the ministry. I think that is a great way to do it when they go down the toilets. That's kind of how I imagine it. You know, they're gonna they're kind of sucked away. I think there should be some fire. I think that that that definitely it's a core part of the um of of the method. So there's definitely some green fire there, but Harry has to learn how it's done. And it's important that he doesn't know how it's done because he has to end up in Nocturnality. And that is an absolute necessity for this sequence. So all the Louis's are lined up, they have all their other travel things, and it's similar to like getting through the platform, like in last season when Harry was trying to figure out how to get onto platform 93 quarters and Molly helped him. This is a similar situation where she's gonna send all of her kids through, and then uh they will all group up at the end. And then, of course, Harry sees him all of his friends, you know, zoom down the the fireplace, he gets his handful, he he throws it and he says something strange, I don't know. But here's one of my gripes with this scene. In the book, it is, I think, much, much more uh believable because in the film he just like is literally he just like is standing there and then he goes like dot die gonilly, like he just like says something like totally wrong and then chucks it and then gets like sucked away. It's just like like come on. They couldn't think of something like anything better because in the book he talks about how his like his mouth fills with ash and he can't breathe and he just like tries to get it out and then he's sucked down. I think that's better because he has to end up somewhere else. He can't just say die gone alley and then just happens to end up in the wrong place. That's not how it's supposed to work. But absolutely, I think there should be a reason for his his his misstep. I think it's kind of a wrong decision just to like say that he messed it up. Like, oh, here he is, oh, yep, he got it wrong. Bye-bye. Like, that's really not how it should work. There should be a clear reason for him for uh getting it wrong. And I absolutely I don't blame him. I mean, his first time doing this, of course he messes it up. Like, why wouldn't he? If you were standing in a fireplace, like who stands in fireplaces? Like, of course there's ash, of course it's there's smoke, like I would be pretty you know, shocked too if I was there. So I think there's a very valid reason for him not to be able to get the words out, and it is the fact that he is literally standing in a fire, so that should be highlighted. But he messes it up, he's whipped away. I I definitely want to feel this. I want to feel the uh the the the the spinning, the you know, the drama, all that. And then he gets spat out in Nocturne Alley. And this is important. I think it is uh it it is a very interesting scene to have Draco and Lucius kind of uh join him. And it's really a shame that it was really cut from from the film. Um that we really couldn't see that, but I think absolutely we should get it in the in the TV show. And one of the big things, I think the important thing for this scene is the relationship between Draco and Lucius. We if Lox Pratt, the actor who's playing Draco, is correct, we are seeing Draco's house. We are seeing Malfoy Manor in season one. So we are getting their family dynamics set up very early, and that's uh really, really cool. So to have that continue, and I think especially because he because he thinks that no one's watching. That's that's the key here, is that the Malfoys think that no one is watching. Of course, uh Mr. Burke is there, or is it is it Borgan? I don't know, actually. I I'm I'm forgetting if it's Borgan or Burke. I think it's Mr. Burke. Uh and they are are are talking with him. Of course, he is, you know, he is uh I think his voice in the book is described as very oily, you know, he's very, of course, Mr. Malfoy, you know, he's a he's kinda kind of a kind of a suck up, but that's just how it goes. You know, of course, uh Draco and Lucius are kind of like royalty in these circles, so it is important that they are are respected. But Draco, I think, no things that no one's watching, of course, he doesn't know that Harry's there. That is, you know, obvious. So we should maybe see some of the tension between them. Of course, Lucius isn't afraid to show that tension, you know, in public, but it's more of a, you know, united front. But behind closed doors, I think it's important to realize just how fractured they really are. And the mouthboys have their problems, they absolutely do. And I think, you know, there are there should be a lot of layers to their relationship. And I think we should definitely get that in scenes like this, you know, where they aren't fighting or they aren't, you know, you know, there isn't some high, you know, emotions aren't running high. It's it's not like a scene like that. It just happens that they are, you know, out and that Harry is, you know, kind of spying on them. So that's the kind of thing that I want to ensure that we uh uh have have the chance to witness. I think it's definitely something that we uh miss in the you know the the the flurry of the film, and it's something that I'd really really want to focus on in the TV show because their relationship is impactful and it means something for the uh you know for their continuing uh interactions. So I want to establish that early. I also want to uh see, you know, how the how uh Borgon and Burks kind of looks, because that's gonna be an another an important place as the story continues. So that is where we stand at the moment. Uh, but the story goes on, so let's move

Flourish and Blotts

SPEAKER_00 16:48

on. But luckily, Harry is not in the dark for long. Eventually he makes it out of Borgon and Burks, and Hagrid finds him in Octurnal Alley and brings him out into Daikon Alley where the wheezy's finding. They say, Oh my gosh, we're so worried. But of course, Fred and George say, Harry, what was it like? Because they, of course, to try to get to uh Nocturne Alley, they dearly want to go, and I don't blame them. Seems like a really cool, safe place to go. So definitely, Fred and George, pursue your dreams. But now that they're out, they have to go shopping. And there are two scenes in particular that I really, really want to make sure are included. One is the very first scene is they go to uh uh to Green Guts and they have to get their money. And it is really important that the Weasleys don't have that much money. I think they are mentioned they have a small pile of silver sickles with one golden galleon on top, and they scoop it all into their bag and go about their day. And of course, Harry has mountains of money. He is filthy rich. Uh, that is quite quite the contrast. Of course, he would give all of his money to the Weaslies if he could, but they would never accept it. So I want to make sure we have that because we want to, you know, establish that early on. That's a part of their character. I think it builds, you know, who they are and their relationships with, especially Harry. The other important scene that we're gonna spend more time talking about is the bookstore. And this is probably the most important scene. This is this little sequence is probably the most important of this episode because this is where we get the diary. This is where this whole conflict is set up. It is really important that we have a full understanding of this whole situation, that we are in the bookstore that Gildora Lockhart is giving his speeches and all that. Uh, and I want to have a really good understanding of him, of, of, of Gildor Lockhart. Uh, he is such a funny character, man. He is he is so funny. I was just reading about him on the uh Harry Potter wiki, reading about his his life, you know. Uh he developed a shampoo for Akami eggs that was, you know, toxic and way too expensive, so no one could buy it. Uh and the funniest thing is when, so of course, he took credit for other people's heroic deeds by casting memory charms on them. And in the end, he was the victim of his own backfired memory charm, and he wrote his final book uh without his memory in the in St. Mungo's titled Who Am I? So funny, like just so, so, so clever. I I really hope uh when Order of the Phoenix rolls around. I really want to talk to him again because he's just such a funny character. But he's set up in this bookstore. This is where we begin to see him, his confidence, his his swagger. You know, he is this this very suave gentleman, you know, he is known as this very talented wizard who has defeated many foes. He's famous for his acts, his books are best-selling. And of course, now that he is the defense against the dark arts teacher for this upcoming year, he is requiring that basically all of his books are required reading for his students. Ah, man, like really. I feel like it is not classy at all to say, you know, I'm a new teacher, buy all my books. Like, shh, man, maybe maybe one. One is the max. One is the absolute max. But they he says, like, bait like pretty much all of them they have to buy. Like, that is pretty crazy. And it is so funny, also. I mean, I definitely want, I love the Jim Dale version of Gildary Lockhart because he's like so flamboyant, like so, like, he's like kind of like he's not he's not pinpointed. He's not he's not a very sharp person, you know. He's very loose and just kind of like talking, talking, talking, and I definitely want that to come across, you know. He's put together for sure, but he's not this like, you know, quiet, you know, kind of cool to meet or no. He's very kind of rambunctious, and I really want that to come across. And it is so funny when he spots Harry in the crowd and he pulls him up and is talking about like giving him advice for like being famous, you know, just the most ridiculous interaction you could possibly imagine. He is the funniest guy in the world. And I also want to make sure that we see just how much of an effect he has on the crowd. I wanna uh, you know, because of course people like Ron and Harry, they see just how much of an idiot he is. But, you know, some of the people in the crowd, especially like the witches, you know, the the people who are who are most charmed by him, uh, are just you know totally blind to his to his true kind of idiocy, which is something of a stereotype, I think, which you know is is unfortunate. So I think there shouldn't be, you know, just total like all the men are like, oh, he's cool. Yeah, I I want to be like him, and all the women are like, oh, he's so handsome. Like, I feel like that's maybe a little a little cliche. But there should definitely be, you know, he affects the crowd. I think he He definitely does, and I think I want to see that for sure because eventually he's gonna have to use that charm to convince the staff that he can defeat the Basilisk, which is an absolute lie. So I want to see that all crumbling down, so I want to set this up early. So Lockhart is a huge focus for this sequence. But another big focus is the diary. So we have Lucius Malfoy, and this is where we officially meet him. Um I I'm hopefully we will have many scenes with him in the first season. Of course, thank you, Logspraff, for confirming that. And we will, of course, we just saw him in Borgon and Burke, but now we are meeting him truly for the first time. Harry's meeting him. Uh I think they should shake hands, you know, it should be formal, but it is anything but friendly. Of course, Arthur and Lucius are nowhere near on good terms. They are very much at odds. They are uh they work together at the ministry and they know each other very well to be on extremely opposite sides, so it should be a little nasty. And uh the book ends in a brawl. I don't know if I quite like that, honestly. I think I like the version of the film better because I I expect more from Mr. Weasley. I think if if it ends in a brawl, it's just like like why would they do it? And truth be told, I expect more from Lucius, too. Would Lucius brawl someone? Like, no, of course not. And to be fair, that is the Jason Isaac's Lucius, you know, that is who I'm thinking of here. And the uh Lucius in the TV show might might not be that way. And maybe a brawl would be the perfect moment for this scene. But I think the Jason Isaac's uh Lucius is a pretty good Lucius. So if the TV show Lucius was something similar to that, I wouldn't be disappointed at all. And that version would not brawl at all. I mean, even raising wands is seen as like demeaning, like he should have make peop other people should fight his battles. You know, he should be the one to do it. That's kind of what his his his thinking is here. And you know, he's filthy rich. I totally get it. If I could pay someone to fight my battles for me, I totally would too. So good for him, good for him. But I don't think this scene should end in a brawl. I think it should just be very cool and very calm, very collective. You know, they are they're in a public place and they know that, but the tension is high. And especially for the diary, the tension should be high. And one of the things that I want to point out with this interaction is that we know what the diary is. Even if you haven't seen this before, even if this is your very first time watching Harry Potter or hearing the story or anything to do with that, if you remember, our very first episode was tracking this evolution of the Chamber of Secrets. And it ended with the creation of the diary, and the very last scene of our first episode this season was Voldemort handing the diary to Lucious. So, we know what this is. We know what the diary is, and that should be, I mean, the most important thing of of this scene. And I think because we know what it is, we can have like, you know how Harry kind of gets like a tingle, you know, his scar, maybe twinges. Like it it happened uh in the the first film, like when he sat down at the uh you know in in the Great Hall for the first time and stamped looked at him. He got a twinge in his scar because core the back of Pearl's head was facing him. And of course that's that's where uh where Voldemort is residing at at that time. So it should be kind of something like that, you know, something a little, you know, like a something like tells him that something that that that there's a little off, you know, that that that the the the diary's a little off. Maybe it's when Lucius is holding it, maybe it's when he gives it over, you know, to Jenny. And I think, you know, he he could just be holding it. Like it's not like he has to hide it, because at this point, it's just a little black book, you know. It's not like it's this thing that says, you know, diary, you know, of Voldemort, do not open, do not write in. That's not exactly what what what we're dealing with here. But the thing that should draw suspicion from Harry is when Lucis puts it in Ginny's cauldron. And I think that is the time uh that Harry should kind of like really think, like, what is that? So it's important that we that we set this up, that we have a true interaction, you know, that we have Harry seeing this diary, seeing it go in Ginny's cauldron, and he's about to say something, but the moment's gone, and they leave the bookshop and they return back home. So this is an important setup. Ginny now has the diary, and as we know, she already is getting attached to it. Uh, so this is a very important setup for the rest of the conflict. But there is one more little sequence to finish off this episode. So let's move on.

Trip to Hogwarts

SPEAKER_00 27:07

Alright, it is the morning of the trip to to Hogwarts. They are rushing to get everything packed, they cram their car full with bags and people, and they get on the road. And of course, they forget things and they have to go back. I do like the detail in the uh book of how Ginny screams and she forgot her diary and they had to go back and get it. And then they were really running late, so we gotta set up this tension. They all rush, they park, they all rush into King's Cross. The time is running short, it is almost 11 o'clock, and everyone rushes through. Somehow Harry and Ron are left at the back. After everyone has gotten through, uh, Harry and Ron try their best and they crash into the barrier and they are stuck. So we know how this scene goes. I think it is important that we pretty much keep it the same. Uh, and I wanna make uh one of the things that I uh strikes me every time I see this scene again is just how stupid it is. Like it's well done, it's a good scene, but Harry and Ron are just idiots in this scene. Do they think that they'll be expelled if they miss the train? No. No, not at all. They could wait five minutes and they could be taken a very legal way. Like they could probably be operated onto the train. It's so simple. So I don't want to be thinking that though. I mean, of course I do want to be thinking that, but I want to I want to make the situation dire. Like there is no other option but to take the Fort Anglia uh to Hogwarts. That's kind of what I want to feel because I don't want it to be like oh Heron Ron are idiots. Like, that's not really what I I want to think like, okay, they have a choice to make and they made it. Like, I want to think, okay, they're they're decisive, you know, for better or for worse, they're going to Hogwarts. That's the feeling I want. So that's why it's important that the tension is high. So when they make that decision, it's like, okay, good, they did it. So they get in the Ford Angular and they hit the road. I definitely want uh a beautiful montage of flying to the countryside, enjoying the the you know the the scenery, and they're above the clouds, and eventually they they try to find the train, and maybe they they do, and they're they they have that whole thing where it's right behind them and they have to veer off the track again. So it's it's a whole fun situation. But I think the episode should end with Hogwarts in sight. Uh, I don't want to crash. I honestly I think the crash should be at the very beginning of the next episode. So here's what I think should happen. They are finally they make it, the time is again running thin, and the episode ends where they crest a hill and Hogwarts is in sight. And that's where we end. I think we ended with so much tension for the fast few episodes. I think it is we deserve a break. We deserve a break from all that tension. Uh, and there we have it. That is episode three in the books. We will be getting back with this with episode four very soon. We have some drama to get to. Let me tell you, the revelio for this episode, the thing that we learn, the thing that we learn more about is about wizarding life. I'm harping back to the life at the borough. What is it like to be a wizard? You know, what do they do? What are their practices? Uh, you know, that is what I want to really uh build a foundation of. So that is the revelio for this episode. I want to thank you all for listening. I really had a blast recording and making this episode. Uh, we will be back next week discussing some another fun element of the TV show. So definitely stay tuned for that. If you have any questions, comments, topics, anything at all you want to reach out with, go ahead and do that to thepodger discussion at genewall.com. That is thepodger discussion at genewall.com, like I said at the beginning beginning of this episode. And if you enjoy this episode, consider leaving a review. You know, five stars from your favorite podcast app would really go a long way, help other listeners find the show and all of that. And a written review is a great place to give me true feedback on the show. If you have any uh ideas or you have some feedback for me, a written review, like on Apple Podcasts, is a perfect way to do that. And of course, share this episode with a friend. You know, I don't market it, I don't spend my time doing that, I just spend my time chatting with you. So if if you think someone else would enjoy this conversation, absolutely send it along.
