Alice and Martha continue their discussion about ol’ Sluggy, who throws an amazing and not at all problematic Christmas party.

Alice and Martha discuss everyone’s favorite Slytherin, Professor Slughorn!

Yes, it really has taken three character studies to analyze Seamus’s complex arc! In this episode, Seamus “apologizes” to Harry for the error of his ways, leaving Harry free to angle for his approval once again.

Alice and Martha discuss Seamus in the fourth and fifth books. His storyline picks up speed as we meet his mom (or possibly a paid Craigslist actor??), see his passion for Irish Quidditch, and watch as he falls victim to the Daily Prophet propaganda.

Alice and Martha discuss the first unnamed character to win the Real Weirdo, Canonical John Major!

Alice, Martha, and Jim Dale are back to finish discussing Neville. In the seventh book, Neville becomes–there’s no other word for it–cool. As usual, this is obvious to readers through his long hair, his casual demeanor, and his habit of calling people by the first syllable of their name. Neville’s arc is one of the best… Read more
Neville’s arc continues in the sixth book, though perhaps not quite as gracefully as readers might hope – there’s still plenty of falling on his back, hitting his head, and of course, lighting his own pants on fire! Though Dean might still find him hilarious, Harry, Augusta, and McGonagall seem to view Neville with a… Read more
I dink it’s time for our fifth Neville character study, in fact I’b sure id is! After Christmas on the closed ward, Neville takes an “alarming” and “unnerving” turn as he becomes a master dueler, which he shows off at the Department of Mysteries — a completely error-free enterprise on Neville and all the DA… Read more
