You ladies already did a fan fiction podcast, The Cursed Child 😉
A really great final chapter, so many authors get lazy on the wrap-up chapters.
I really like that Harry is concerned about Ginny not getting into trouble, as you ladies said, it shows his ability to care for others.
The Horcrux thread is pretty solidly started in this book, this chapter starts it off quite well.
I agree that the sock handoff was treated much better in the movie than in the book. A good example of positive changes.
I’ve only read 1 fan-fiction, the James Potter Series by G Norman Lippert. I would definitely recommend it. It follows James Sirius Potter in his first few years of school and is a really captivating read. I would often forget that it was fan fiction and not real Harry Potter cannon. I would definitely love a show about fan fiction to find more gems like this!
I don’t read much HP fanfiction because it makes the lines between canon and fanon pretty blurry, but Fernwithy is a pro at keeping things canon, which is why I adore her. Her Teddy Lupin series is a must-read.
I’m sure there are much more jobs that are beyond the scope of Harry’s teenage perspective.
I really like all of the theories surrounding Mandrakes and how it would be administered.
I was thinking about the kitchen house elves too when Dumbledore brought up that line.
Harry wrote his humber twice and ripped the parchment in two.
