Episode 111: 1, 21 Guns/Lay Down Your 'Taurs
🕑 Added 2020-05-01 14:00:11 +0000 UTCHalf-blood Prince chapter 30. Another book down! We fire off a 21 gun salute for Dumbledore and the sixth book in the series, with a lengthy discussion of the funeral scene (which is pretty much the entire chapter) and a deep dive into Pottermore's (RIP) classic Wizarding World Book Club questions. What themes, characters, and facts await us?

Holy shit getting to the end of this I somehow forgot all the pensive stuff that happened in the book, even listening to this podcast I kept forgetting, that's how little impact the scenes have.
it's 100% nitpicking but i din't think those coins work like smartphones or pagers, in a way that they don't vibrate or alert you for notifications. in the fifth book, the DA expected the messages so they regularly looked at it (plus they didnt recieve urgent information, it was about like next week's meeting so you didn't have to carry it everywhere, you could just check it once in a day). but now hermione expected them to look at this silent, unassuming small object that haven't been used in a full year, in the exact moment she sent the message so they can come and help in time. and this makes neville and luna even bigger losers because how compulsively do you have to check those coins to catch this message?
