“Promptly Potter” Episode 89: “The Very Definition of Creepy and Weird”

– In Chapter 32 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry and Cedric Diggory grasp the Cup at the same time, securing the win for Hogwarts. The trophy – actually a Portkey – transports them to a graveyard off Hogwarts grounds. There, Peter Pettigrew murders Cedric and forces Harry to participate in Voldemort’s resurrection.

– Today’s prompt is “What are the magical properties of the bone of the father, flesh of the servant, and blood of the enemy that allow a soul fragment tethered to life with a Horcrux to be reconnected with a body?”

– This episode is hosted by Princess Jhode Datu.

Promptly Potter is MuggleNet.com’s Harry Potter critical analysis podcast in which we break down questions about the novels into bite-sized pieces. Each episode explores one chapter through a single carefully curated prompt. The topics and questions covered will span a range as long as Dumbledore’s beard. From controversial and burning to absolutely ridiculous (certainly our favorite), no question is off-limits.

Our alternating hosts dive into some of the things we’ve been reeling over for two and a half decades, but here’s the catch: They have to do it in 15 minutes or less.

Get those wands at the ready because you can consider this your acceptance letter! Come with us during this year-long reread in which we explore the wizarding world. Prepare to have your mind bewitched and your senses ensnared. This is a Harry Potter critical analysis podcast like no other, but that’s merely our opinion.
