Chapter 31: OWLS - Yay. Standardized tests 🙄 Adam gives us some study tips and we discuss the effectiveness of each of the Hogwarts teachers.

Chapter 30: Grawp (The Grawps) - This episode is dedicated to Chad. Fred and George are still heroes and pink demon is slowly losing control of the student body. We go off the rails a bit but mostly this episode is about sports and ***The Grawps*** Also, Hagrid has shockingly not accidentally killed Harry in the 5 years they've known each other... 😬😬😬 Even though we are not sports people we're super happy for Ron for a successful Quidditch cup win at the end of the chapter!!!...

Chapter 26: Seen and Unforseen - Somehow we are sober and we manage to sound outrageously drunk... More discussion of awkward teen romance and about how awesome Ginny is. Also, nobody cares about Quidditch... 🤷♀️ So much bullying is happening.. from students AND teachers.. 😒 Ashley - where is our rubarb crumble? Also, what is that one instrument? Mail delivery time should maybe be reevaluate. Tara has a hot take on occlumeny. Pink Devil is losing her shit and when she thinks she's about to ra...
