The Duke of Tara's Boob

I'm a Ghost, I Can Tell You Things

Chapter 31: The Battle of Hogwarts - Harry figures stuff out! We're so proud even though he's a dummy dumb dumb. Harry's interrogation tactics are just to be a dick, but hey, it's effective. Harry sees a statue and it reminds him of another statue. Everyone goes on vacation to Albania and Tom is the strangest name ever. Adam gives us all a lesson in the floor plans of Hogwarts thanks to his blueprints book and Hogwarts legacy.

Holding Out for a Lumos

Chapter 30: The Sacking of Severus Snape - Amycus and Alexto suck. McG and Luna are badass. Slughorn is a walrus. The movie is...eh...okay? They don't have the budget for us to see the Ravenclaw common room and they're not paying John Cleese, so... 🤷‍♀️

Apr 11, 202450 minSeason 7Ep. 225

The Pretentious Doorknocker

Chapter 29: The Lost Diadem - in this episode we ask the important questions: Why are there so many crowns in this series? Why is Cho back at Hogwarts? Why are Adam and Tara so amazing at the word association game?

Apr 04, 202438 minSeason 7Ep. 224

Voldemort Screams Like a Cat

Chapter 28: The Missing Mirror - Congratulations on your new couch, Adam!!! Aberforth is fed up, Harry is determined, Ariana Grande is bffs with Neville.

Mar 27, 202454 minSeason 7Ep. 223

He's a Precious Baby

Chapter 27: The Final Hiding Place - THEY RIDE A DRAGOON 😁😁😁 Ron is sassy. Hermione is prepared. Harry gets to see into Voldy's head (so all usual stuff). And it's time to go home ❤️🏰

Mar 23, 202431 minSeason 7Ep. 222

Dragon is Good Pet, Yes?

Chapter 26: Gringotts - if Tara and Adam were wizards they would steal furniture from Parma. The trio and Griphook go on a field trip, Hermione is too friendly and Harry learns a new spell! Justice for dragoon!!!

Mar 14, 202445 minSeason 7Ep. 221

Horse Shadowing

Chapter 25: Shell Cottage - Adam and Tara discuss the importance of wearing crowns for every day tasks and Harry becomes a grandfather. Oh, and "daddy" is an adjective now.

Mar 07, 202433 minSeason 7Ep. 220

Carry That Body!

Chapter 24: The Wandmaker - We love the coziness of Shell Cottage and spending time with Bill and Fleur. The trio interrogate Griphook and Ollivander and Tara rants about how stupid Voldy and his crew were to not make Ollivander make them extra wands...

MAGICAL CREATURE SMACKDOWN - featuring Olivia x 2

Highly combustible, O2 is BACK and we are two Slytherins and two Gryffindors together determining which is the best magical creature out there! New facts that are absolute canon about magical creatures: Sirius Black is a Disney princess and makes friends with all the woodland creatures The Giant Squid (aka: Adam) is lazy but effective Thestrals are the Ford F150s of the series

Time to Vacuum the Driveway

Chapter 23: Malfoy Manor - Fucking Frenrrrrrr is back 😒 Seriously - fuck that guy. But we do get to reunite with Luna 😍 So much- like the longest thing maybe ever was written-SO much happens in this chapter. RIP Skinny Dick. Actually no. Fuck that guy.

Feb 16, 20241 hr 6 minSeason 7Ep. 217

A Long Tunnel

Chapter 22: The Deathly Hallows - Canon: Lee Jordan will dethrone Rita Skeeter in the wizarding media world. Harry needs to travel to the future to listen to Basic Snitches so he knows to refer to Voldy as Cocaine Baby, obviously. Then he wouldn't have broken the taboo 🤷‍♀️ We play a new game. For funsies. Adam is maybe impressed 😂 Did you know you can travel from Hogwarts to Bouxbatons through a long tunnel? Canon.

Feb 09, 202439 minSeason 7Ep. 216

Death Eaters are Drag Queens

Chapter 21: The Deathly Hollows - Soooooo...the big question here is why is a story that includes murder and suicide something being told to CHILDREN? Anyway, Luna is the best. Also there are lots of spoilers in this episode... Even though this is not a spoiler free podcast (Nor is it a Twilight podcast thank you very much no) We figured we would let you know about all the spoilers 🤷‍♀️

Swimming for Plimpies

Chapter 20: Xenophillius Lovegood - RON IS TRYING GIVE HIM CREDIT We get to go visit X and, after 20 chapters, we finally are about to find out the meaning of the title of this book!

Jan 25, 202440 minSeason 7Ep. 214

My Patronus is My Own Ass

Chapter 19: The Silver Doe - Merry Christmas to Bentley, the little thief making all the noise in the background 😂 People do not give water the respect it deserves! Anyway this chapter is actually about terrifying ways to die (drowning), and how Ron is a fucking hero. Also, what would it be like if Snape's first name was Larry? Everything is fixed.

Jan 19, 202444 minSeason 7Ep. 213

The Sword and the Horrible Woman

Chapter 18: The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore - This chapter is really just a lot of gay jokes and Hermione being a book thief Tara is filled with all the accents today... Did you know that you can only pull the sword of Gryffindor out of a hat or a hag?? ...or Harry.

Jan 13, 202447 minSeason 7Ep. 212

Starring Natalie as the contestant, and Adam as our host, listen and find out who she will match with!! Will it be everyone's favorite sensible and logical DADA professor, Remus Lupin (Victoria)?

She Likes a Big Tent - Featuring Brian O. Jackson & Sarah Price

Harry Buries an Eyeball

Chapter 15: The Goblins' Revenge - CAMPING IS FUN Also, the trio get to be nosy bitches, just like the good ol' days... until Ron leaves like a little bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch (Tara took all Adam's adjectives)

Dec 01, 202346 minSeason 7Ep. 207

The Li'l Chicken Boys

Chapter 14 (of Aesop's Fables?): The Thief - We will drink wine out of (almost) anything. BABY NEEDS JELLY!!! This is where they start camping so that's all that happens the rest of the book 🤷‍♀️

Nov 23, 202345 minSeason 7Ep. 206

Toilet Transportation Station

Chapter 13: The Muggle Born Registration Committee- Well, our heros managed to get INTO the ministry but that's where the success ends 🤷‍♀️ Harry falls back on his old habits of being nosy AF, Ron is (as usual) twarted by his lack of real magical skill (😬), and Hermione is forced to spend time with the pink demon. They do manage to survive but not without that fucker Yaxley being in entirely too much of the chapter.

Nov 16, 202356 minSeason 7Ep. 205

A Lovely Tart

Chapter 12: Magic is Might - Today we're talking about chapter 12 of War and Peace...just kidding 😂 The trio and Kreacher have a domestic start to the chapter before they move into their plan to infiltrate the Ministry. We discuss how Kreacher is fluffy now that he has a nice/not evil master. We also realize that we want Yaxley dead as much as Umbridge. That guy sucks.

Nov 09, 202343 minSeason 7Ep. 204

Boy George and Some Other People

Chapter 11: The Bribe - In this chapter, one of our favorite characters comes back... Lupin! However, it's not really a good chapter for him 😬 We discuss the development of Tonks and Lupin's relationship and how Harry isn't exactly wrong when he calls him a coward...(maybe check your temper though, Harry) We also try to figure out how the hell patronus texting works 🤷‍♀️ PSA - we are not pro-traffic circle people on this podcast Cormac stole Draco's line 😮

Nov 04, 202335 minSeason 7Ep. 203

A Prezzie for Kreacher

Chapter 10: Kreacher's Tale - Tara and Adam need carbs. We finally learn who RAB is (I mean, we knew, but now the Trio knows!) and how he has amazing timing (or else Kreacher would not be alive). Also, can someone please teach us the margarita spell?
