In this episode we discuss Harry's journey to Hogwarts in our version of the TV show. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

· 1:21 Quick Recap, and opening at Kings Cross. We could also open in the Leaky Cauldron, but it would be better for us to take that extra time exploring the wizarding world than the Muggle one. We see Harry meet the Weasleys, go through the barrier, get on the Hogwarts Express, and arrive at Hogsmeade Station.

· 13:15 There’s Hogwarts! The moment where the students round the bend and see Hogwarts is the biggest milestone so far. We see the symbol of magic in the wizarding world, and the place where the core parts of the story will take place. As viewers, we have seen this place more times than we can count, so it’s almost as if we are showing it to Harry for the first time.

· 20:53 The Sorting Ceremony. The doors to the Great Hall swing open, and we see the beginnings of the Hogwarts factions form. Draco and Harry are the most important sortings of the ceremony. The hat barely touches Draco’s head, and he is sorting into Slytherin. Harry goes through a bit of a conversation with the Sorting Hat, and it is important to see Dumbledore reaction to all of this. We end with Harry standing in his dormitory with his trunk, Hedwig, and the window with the Hogwarts grounds.

In this episode, we discuss what Halloween should include in the TV show. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

· 1:22 We have more time to explore the stories. Voldemort kills the Potters, a troll breaks into Hogwarts, the Chamber of Secrets is revealed, Sirius Black breaks into the Castle, and Harry’s name is picked from the Goblet of Fire all on different Halloween nights. Getting more from all of those moments would be invaluable.

· 12:00 What are magical traditions of Halloween? For all we know, Halloween was a magical celebration to begin with. Why did it start, and who started it? These are the questions we can have answers to if every moment doesn’t have to move the plot forward.

· 18:22 The ambience of greater Hogwarts. The Great Hall is all decked out with decorations, but the rest of the castle should also have those touches. Darker halls, moving suits of armor, things like that. Those things would remind us that the castle is a safe place, but not completely.

· 24:05 Professors have themed lessons. Getting some real-world application into their teachings is always a valuable thing, especially if it relates to something happening right now. I think the professors should jump at the chance to teach some magic that isn’t as well known, but still relates to their studies.

In this episode, we discuss Harry's journey from the hut on the rock and his introduction into the wizarding world. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

· 1:19 Recap and opening with the hut on the rock. We should see a little bit of what the Dursleys think about this revelation. Petunia always wanted to hear this for her, so how does this show within her? Vernon is adamant and denies it, and Dudley has no idea what’s happening.

· 12:30 Hagrid and Harry’s journey into the Muggle world. Hagrid enchants the boat to row them back to the mainland, and maybe we get a glimpse at the beautiful English countryside that represents the identity that has been revealed. In the Leaky Cauldron, Harry gets his first look at what it means to be Harry Potter in the wizarding world. He shakes hands and wonders what he got himself into.

· 20:00 Diagon Alley! We aren’t going to skip a single scene. The archway opens and he is faced with pure magic. Everything from the bank to the bookstore should be examined in detail. The conversation with Ollivader should remain unchanged because it’s super important!

· 26:40 The final scene is in the Leaky Cauldron. Harry and Hagrid are discussing the day, and Harry asks Hagrid why he is so famous. Hagrid tells Harry the backstory of Voldemort and his parents, and Harry finally begins to see the full story.
