4.4: Back to the Burrow

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/12/11

The awful thing that happens to Dudley, this body-horror thing of his tongue turning into something terrifying: that's the first announcement of one of the major themes in this volume that puberty is a time of monstrous, uncontrollable body changes. However your body changes on the outside, at all times you're going to have to somehow square it, coordinate it with who you feel like you are on the inside.

4.3: The Invitation

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/12/04

When he first gets the letter, Harry knows that it's the Weasleys asking permission, so at the very beginning of that scene he is not going to say or do anything to upset Uncle Vernon. And by the end of the scene, Harry is not at all worried about pissing off Uncle Vernon, and Uncle Vernon's the one who's scared of Harry. It's really wild to watch that change happen over the course of this one scene. For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit

2024/11/27

How is anyone ever going to know how Tom Riddle, the child, feels? Well, if he can brand his followers with a Dark Mark, then there will always be people who know how he feels. It's the closest thing to having friends. When he's angry, and he wants to punish the rest of the world for how much he's hurting, then he has these built-in victims that have sworn their lives and their souls over to him.

4.1: The Riddle House

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/11/20

Crucio, Avada Kedavra, and Imperio were invented by infants who desperately need to control the behavior of others to keep them alive, and are terrified and enraged when that is endangered. That's why when you see out-of-control tyrants -- when things don't go their way -- exhibit appalling, punitive behavior, that's why they seem like babies.

"A not-insignificant number of people discovered their trans identities through Harry Potter roleplay and Harry Potter cosplay, because Harry Potter was so big and such a big part of our lives. I was trying to make a list of the people I knew on LiveJournal who went through transition, and it was so long that I gave up. It's a demographic, not just a few people we knew."

3.22: Owl Post Again

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/11/13

Giving Harry back the cloak and the Marauder's Map, Lupin so distinctly crosses over from being a teacher to being a pure agent of chaos. He has zero compunction about this, but that's his actual true nature. He is a very edgy character, and that's something that I want to advocate for in portrayals of Lupin in fanfiction. He is a mollifying person, but he isn't a domesticated safe human. He is chaotic. He has a lot of edge to him. For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or

3.21: Hermione's Secret

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/11/06

Whenever time travel and Time-Turners are used in Potterverse, I read it as this metaphor for how you can go back into trauma, into the past, with a different perspective and change not what happened, but change your view of the innocence and guilt of yourself, as well as other people, and understand where strength in yourself came from that you didn't believe in at the time.

3.20: The Dementor's Kiss

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/10/30

The appearance of this Patronus made me think, 'This is the love that had strengthened him from his father.' This is so much more coalesced now in him. He's gotten to know the bonds between James and James' friends. He's connected with these friends, and he's been told that he's like James; flying, the most Harry thing, is connected to James. We have seen how that has changed Harry in this one chapter. For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more,

3.19: The Servant of Lord Voldemort

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/10/23

This is the one character that every person, every character in this series, is unanimous about. There is nobody else where every single character on every side has the same reaction, but everybody loathes Peter Pettigrew. Have you and I talked about the name of J.K. Rowling's father? First, middle, and last. I'm going to sit here while you Google. For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

2024/10/16

Sirius has re-entered relationships. Until this moment, he had nobody but himself, so what did it matter if he killed Peter now or five minutes from now? Now Lupin is saying, "I don't know the story. These children don't, and James's kid doesn't know." Suddenly, Sirius has relationships that he's responsible to, and that brings life; that brings more reason to live. Scabbers is squealing; he's listening, too. This chapter is set up so that we can go back and reread it from every character's

2024/10/09

'Don't kill. Get the full story. You might think what you want is revenge or anger or hatred or murder, but what you really want -- what's really going to satisfy you -- is knowing the full story.' Expelliarmus, disarmament, enables the story to be told. Oh, Sirius... His voice is all rough because he hasn't had anyone to listen to him for so long.

3.16: Professor Trelawney's Prediction

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/10/02

In this series that is overtly skeptical about a lot of new age or mystical things, we see something that is obviously meant to be genuine divination. It's powerful and it's undeniable, so do we suspend our belief or not? This series has simultaneously disbelieved and believed. It's fun, and the fact that Trelawney doesn't know about it somehow makes it more authoritative.

JC: For Harry, this is one thing that he has that is really his own. I think about the students I've worked with. How important it is for a kid to have a thing that they are good at and that they know they're good at. To have an identity as, "I am a person who is capable of something."

2024/09/18

LK: To me, this chapter is a masterpiece. People have secret agendas, everything is working on at least three layers at once, and everybody in this chapter is right and wrong about everything. JC: It's a common refrain online for people who really dislike the author, for extremely legitimate reasons, who will often say, "Oh, the books are mediocre." This is the kind of chapter where I want to go, "How do you read this and call it mediocre?" As much as I dislike the author personally, I've got to

JC: “How cool would it have been to be one of the teachers in that school, to be sitting in that game and to watch Harry Potter shoot off a fully formed Patronus? Everybody else knows what Harry's Patronus looks like now, except for Harry. Lupin knows. Lupin is the only person in that space who knows what that stag means.” For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

3.12: The Patronus

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/09/04

You can't tell Harry Potter, "Don't continue to integrate your memories. Don't continue to uncover who you are and to be yourself." These are his memories; they belong to him. These are his parents that were taken from him, but he can't remember them without this agony. Okay, Lupin is here to try to give whatever advice Lupin can about how to strengthen yourself so that you can go in and be reunited with what's yours.

Why is there this broom? Why is it so suspicious, even though it turns out to be fine? What passions have all come together in this wildly ostentatious, inappropriate, mysterious, dangerous gift replacing a gift that was already in itself inappropriate and ostentatious from two years ago? This child of destiny with the only two people in the world he can trust, and now one of them has just turned in his broom.

"Harry gets to ask Lupin, somebody who knows what this is like, "Why is this happening to me?" and Lupin gets to tell him straight out, "There are horrors in your past that the others don't have." This is a really good thing that Dumbledore did, to bring Lupin in. The larger theme of this book being time travel and being haunted by the past, this is not only Lupin being good for Harry the character but I think this book, Prisoner of Azkaban, being good for kid readers."

3.9: Grim Defeat

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/08/14

What we're seeing is the origin of Harry's 'saving people thing’; this is what Voldemort did to him to change him from being a baby to somebody who is scarred for life. This tiny baby felt he had to help his mother. And yet, Harry having this flashback… it's also restoring some of his own story and his own mother to him -- which makes it so conflicted and so bittersweet.

3.8: The Flight of the Fat Lady

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/08/07

For Snape to walk in, look at this kid and Lupin, be wary, deposit this tricky potion and then back out… We're not imagining that the author wrote secrets into that scene -- secrets in history and suspicion, and everybody having agendas that nobody else knows about. Also, how very wrong every character is about something in the end, and they don't all learn that about each other, either.
