“Promptly Potter” Episode 189: “I’m Bald and I Can’t Smell Very Well”

by Marissa Osman · December 11, 2022

– In Chapter 27 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the trio manages to safely disembark from the dragon’s back. Harry realizes that Voldemort knows his Horcruxes have been discovered. The race is on to see who can get to the final Horcrux first.

– Today’s prompt is “Lucius and Bellatrix flee from Voldemort’s rage-fueled killing spree after he discovers that Hufflepuff’s cup has been stolen. Would he have killed his most faithful servants?”

– This episode is hosted by Steph Martin.

– Join in the conversation on MuggleNet’s social media channels by using #PromptlyPotter.

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.
