3.7: The Boggart in the Wardrobe

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/07/31

JC: If you think about Neville in this chapter… We get two lessons in a row on how to bully people. Snape has just given a masterclass on how to be cruel to a person who is powerless, and then Lupin gives a class on how to respond to that with more bullying. The kids are learning that here's how adults do it. For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

3.6: Talons and Tea Leaves

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/07/24

"These divination methods are real subjects. There are things that you and I as Muggles know about, like scrying and tea reading and tarot cards. These are things with a human history and meaning, and even learning what they are and what they have meant to people over the ages, that is a thing that is worth studying; she can provide that even if she doesn't have the Sight most of the time."

3.5: The Dementor

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/07/17

We know what it is, how draining it is because of dementors, to be reminded of the worst memories of your life, and that, I think, does give kid readers a boost in understanding what trauma flashbacks are: that the memory you relive during a flashback is experienced by your body and mind as happening again for real in real time. full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

3.4: The Leaky Cauldron

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/07/10

JC: "There's also an interesting moment when Harry comes back to the Leaky Cauldron after spending a day out in Diagon Alley where he can both hear people talking in Diagon Alley and hear the traffic on Charing Cross Road at the same time from his room."

3.3: The Knight Bus

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/07/03

JC: "Even if he can't go back to Hogwarts, even if he can't really be part of the Wizarding world, he still has this magic and he knows how to use it and he can use it in his life. It makes me think about maybe queer folks, or people who've been rejected by their family for a variety of reasons. Your family can reject you, society can reject you, but they cannot take away who you are on the inside. This identity is yours, and you get to keep it." For full show notes, transcripts, ways to

3.2: Aunt Marge's Big Mistake

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/06/26

LK: “This may be the most intensely fatphobic chapter of the series. It's also full of scapegoating, corporal punishment, eugenics, dehumanization: themes that get darker in the series starting with Book Three.” JC: “Wow, what does it take for me to feel sorry for Petunia? Yeah.” For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

3.1: Owl Post

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/06/19

MinaLima are the graphic design house that made all of the props for all of the movies. Eduardo Lima is gay, and they have extremely not-subtle Pride decorations in the House of MinaLima flagship store every June. And they also have these buttons, and they show an owl -- a barn owl, not a particular character in any fantasy series about a small wizard or anything like that. Just a barn owl flying over a Progress Pride flag background. For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the

2.18: Dobby's Reward

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/06/12

“I love that idea that it's the choices that we make that are the most important rather than the circumstances in which we find ourselves. Just because -- under the circumstances you were born -- you were assigned a particular gender, doesn't mean that that's how you have to stay. You can make a choice to live your life the way that's going to be fulfilling to you.” -JC For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

2.16: The Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/05/29

The conditions do not have to be reproduced. It does not have to be a snake in front of you. What has to be reproduced is the person's magical state of mind. That's what's real. That's why, when you read a book of fiction, it changes you, even though you haven't been through the adventures that you've read about. This is why visualizations work.

2.15: Aragog

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/05/22

“At Malfoy's last words, Ron had leapt off the stool, and in the scramble to collect bags and books, his attempts to reach Malfoy went unnoticed." This is, I think, the only time in history that Snape ever doesn't notice a Gryffindor trying to hit a Slytherin. And yet, Draco has said this very loud, audible thing and then Ron is trying to hit him, and somehow Snape's attention is accidentally elsewhere.

2.14: Cornelius Fudge

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/05/15

The scapegoating: the timing of Rowling's anti-trans campaign when it really hit full speed -- when she published the manifesto about gender on her website -- was during June 2020, during the time of the COVID pandemic and also the global Black Lives Matter protest movement against police violence that's racially motivated.

2.13: The Very Secret Diary

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/05/08

LK: "Harry cannot resist the diary. This is our first sign of two horcruxes wanting to join each other because bits of soul, by nature, want to re-merge." JC: "Expelliarmus is used to take a weapon away, so the implication that the book is a weapon and no one really realizes it yet is very interesting, too." -Ep. 2.13 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/05/01

"Harry comes out of the bathroom stall and he looks at himself in the cracked mirror. This is the difficulty with which you look at your enemy. What would it be like to look in the mirror and see this person instead from that different perspective? This is the same cracked mirror that Harry and Draco see each other in in Sectumsempra. Same bathroom, same cracked mirror." - Ep. 2.12 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

2.11: The Dueling Club

Harry Potter After 2020 ·

2024/04/24

Now that Snape has Harry and Draco practice Expelliarmus against each other -- the people that they hate the most -- those boys are going to eventually go on to use this spell to bring down, each of them, one of the most powerful wizards of the century. In both cases, it's going to be Draco's wand against the Elder Wand. Both Harry and Draco have been taught by the same person, and the wands consider their magic to be interchangeable.

"There's this madman… this madman's coming at me!" His arm is shattered, it's hanging by his side. He's been drenched, he's got this intense look on his face. That must have scared the crap out of Draco. - JC, Ep. 2.10 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

"You have to go to school and sit next to a kid whose family is trying to make sure that something really, really bad happens to your family; if you get hurt or killed in that process, they like it. That's their aim, because they somehow think that if people know that bad things like that can happen, then they'll just go away." - Ep. 2.8 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

"We've seen multiple teachers having to deal with Lockhart. They've all just gritted their teeth and sucked it up and they've maybe said something subtle, but no one has confronted him, which says something about who he's being protected by." -JC, Ep. 2.7 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.
