“Promptly Potter” Episode 96: “The Biggest Secret Since the Chamber of Secrets”

by Marissa Osman · June 8, 2022

– In Chapter 2 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry is expelled from Hogwarts until Dumbledore intervenes. The Ministry suspends Harry pending a disciplinary hearing.

– Today’s prompt is “What did Dumbledore say in his initial letter to Petunia 14 years ago that convinced her to take Harry in?”

– This episode is hosted by Bailey Alfaro.

– 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.
