Bonus Episode 2: Hewwo Mistew Scamandew
🕑 Added 2018-06-29 14:02:00 +0000 UTC Just in time to compare it to Chamber of Secrets and its muddled sociopolitical metaphors! We watched the first Fantastic Beasts film (and read the original book) in preparation for the Crimes of Grindlewald nightmare coming down the pipe.

Listening to this now because I just recently discovered this podcast, and I remember my child self being annoyed that JKR had invented a really cool magical creature (the lethifold, basically a manta ray thing that camouflages as an invisibility cloak and crawls over its victim's face and strangles them, then eats them) and then never used it in any of the books. I was so convinced that Harry would face a lethifold, because why else put it in the Fantastic Beasts book? Hearing you talk about that silly little tie-in book suddenly brought these memories back to life.

Listening to this in the future 20s, and hoo boy none of this cop imagery has aged well. Or JKs opinions on child abuse D: Can't wait for the third movie where Depps lieutenant will be a werewolf Dr Frankenfurther or something
