Episode 76: JK Rowling Found Alive In Glasgow
🕑 Added 2019-08-16 14:01:01 +0000 UTCOrder of the Phoenix chapter 31. JK Rowling has been discovered alive and well in a pub where her husband's band was performing. Incidentally, did you know that Fat Cops band we talked about a long time ago was her husband's band!? We mull over this revelation as well as a few other Jo-related headlines. After that, it's time for... a mostly really good chapter? With, perhaps, some caveats. Finally, we dig into the BlackMilk Hogwarts collection, but quickly get distracted by how completely insane all of their ad copy is.

oh, Trelawney specifically is based very much on that for sure
Also Xeecee’s talked a few times now about the magic/divination being inspired by the medieval but I disagree. I think it’s inspired primarily by victorian occultism and the victorian view of the medieval. Trelawney in particular comes right out of that mold with her armchairs and tea readings and so on
The most generous read I can give for the Hagrid stuff is that he went to Azkaban peacefully the first time because he didn’t know firsthand how bad it is and because he trusted Dumbledore to clear his name and secure his release. But now with Dumbledore gone and the ministry openly hostile to his allies, Hagrid is staring down an indefinite stay in magic depression monster torture prison so he goes sicko mode.
