    They're just terribly unfunny imo. Her laugh is like nails on a chalkboard and sometimes it seems so forced. Also some of the tangents they go on are just terrible. I really enjoy their breakdowns of the chapters and analysis and it's really just me being a whiny bitch but I just feel like they could tone it down a bit. Just starting book 3.

    They do try pretty hard to be funny and some things don't hit. I love McGalleon, I like "my guy" (e.g. "tough break for my guy, Neville" or something), I'm wearing thin on "we'll be going deep--" "DEEP!"

    Overall though, I look forward to each episode coming out. I find myself disappointed when I realize it's their research/reading week.

    Gave you a like for listening and then rescinded when I finished reading.

    My wife didn’t like Jason at first but she cracks up now at his jokes.

    Jason is by far the worst. I don't find anything he does funny. Especially all of the weird masturbating references. Doesn't help he sounds like a chipmunk.

    Yeah, the questions weren't even remotely that hard (Halloween and Luna?) Probably the hardest ones were how many sickles are in a galleon and what is the name of the all women's quidditch team. It was kind of a let down tbh.

    Other questions I can remember:
    What is written on Dobby's gravestone?
    What are the 3 most common ways of wizard transportation that involves teleporting?
    Who destroyed the final horcrux?
    Name all the horcruxes (not counting Quirrel).
    What form did Harry, Ron, Hermoine, and Luna's patronus take?
    Name the 3 unforgivable curses.

    And the one that I blew it on, what are the 4 longest US editions of the series from longest to shortest. I flipped DH and GoF because I'm dumb and can't have nice things.

    I mean, Halloween. But don't know most characters' birthdays if it isn't HP, Neville, or Hermione being early September (9th? I think).

    Right, but his portion was destroyed prior to Neville killing Nagini. Harry was no longer a Horcrux after the forest.

    I've never seen any of these movies but apparently 9 3/4 has a meaning. Gracie is 9 3/4 months old today so my wife spent her day doing this.

    Quirrell definitely is a horcrux...just like Harry is. It's an something that a piece of Voldemort's soul attached itself to.

    right, but I think that he "detached" himself right before quirrell died which saved himself.

    At that point there were, I believe, still 6 other horcruxes (diary, ring, locket, cup, diadem, Nagini (edit: not a horcrux yet), Harry) so he wouldn't have died anyways. It was just like when he tried to kill Harry and failed and his body died but his soul survived.

    bull.

    Quirrell was not a horcrux. He was inhabited, just like Bertha Jorkins (for a time) as a slave body for Voldemort, but his SOUL was not put into Quirrell.

    and yes, I know JK has a post on Pottermore saying he was "in effect" a "temporary Horcrux"... not the same thing as being an actual horcrux.

    I will die on this semantics hill.

    That was also how Nagini came to be a horcrux. He possessed snakes in the woods in Albania when he was doing his whole out of body thing. I think Nagini was one of those "temporary Horcruxes" he just happened to particularly like and he made her an actual Horcrux when they tortured Bertha Jorkins and found out about Barty Crouch Jr. before GoF.

    he made nagini a horcrux when he killed the groundkeeper at his dads house. Frank Brice might have been his name.
