NOTES
We only have one more episode left to go, in this particular season. In the next episode, we’ll discuss Chapter 18: Dobby’s Reward and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as a whole. If you have a theory to share or want us to discuss something specifically, let us know!
This mammoth episode was recorded in one go. We knew there was a lot to discuss but we were kind of surprised ourselves. If you’re surprised too, please respond with a gif.
