Ready your wands and prepare your potions as Christa, Chris, Josh, and Siobhan join Matt to embark on a magical journey through the wizarding world with an epic Harry Potter-themed trivia night. This butterbeer-fueled showdown transforms our regular "Think or Drink" game with special Hogwarts-inspired power-ups like the Marauder's Map and the Pensieve, allowing players to access behind-the-scenes movie facts or explore the differences between the books and films.

The competition quickly heats up as Chris reveals himself to be a walking Potter encyclopedia, prompting the others to form an alliance worthy of Dumbledore's Army against him. Laughter erupts as players debate their Hogwarts houses, struggle with Latin spell pronunciations, and discover fascinating trivia gems – like a very famous actor being turned down for the role of Hagrid due to J.K. Rowling's insistence on an all-British cast.

As homemade butterbeer flows (complete with homemade whipped cream topping) and Dragon's Milk bourbon barrel-aged stout enters the mix, the questions range from wand cores and forgotten common room  passwords to scenes from the novels that never made it into the movies. Throughout it all, nostalgia weaves through the competitive atmosphere as contestants share their first experiences with Harry Potter.

The friendly rivalry culminates in an unexpected victory that proves even the most knowledgeable wizard can be outmaneuvered with the right strategy. So grab your favorite magical beverage, tune in, and test your own Potter knowledge alongside us.

Mischief managed!

Introduction to Harry Potter Trivia

Matt

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Siobhan

We have liftoff.

Matt

Welcome to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe.

Christa

Drink the Universe.

Matt

Welcome back to Matt and Friends Drink the universe. Welcome back to Matt and Friends, drink the Universe. The theme for today is Think or drink.

Matt

Are you thinking or you drinking? This episode Harry Potter trivia and just a quick refresh on the rules and then, like I normally do, I'm going to make some tweaks on the end. Anyway, think or Drink is our classic trivia game, where players start with six points. The last person with points remaining wins Correct answers. Let you choose someone to lose a point and drink, while incorrect answers will cause you to lose a point and drink.

Slight Rule Tweaks

Matt

For difficult questions, you have two options. First, you can make it a double to get help from someone else. If your collective answer is correct, you can choose individually to gain a point or to make somebody else drink and lose a point. If you're wrong, both of you lose a point and drink. Or you can put it on their tab by selecting someone to answer for you. If they're right, you lose a point and drink. If they're right, you lose a point and drink. If they're wrong, you gain a point. Make sure to balance potential risk and reward when you put it on their tab, and I have my own personal squad of Dementors drinking the universe again with me today. I take offense to that.

Chris

Yeah, seriously.

Siobhan

Whoa, I do like chocolate though. So you know, I don't know. No, I agree, I agree for you all.

Matt

If I'm a dementor, I guess so we're gonna go this way down the couch. There you go great.

Siobhan

Uh hi avada, how are you?

Matt

it's siobhan wow, and chris, I am josh and krista and I am your host, matt, and we just went through the rules. So I have a few quick reminders for everybody, and then two fun things for Harry Potter trivia today. The first there are seven books, so we're going to start with seven points. We're going to drag it out just a little bit, but not too long. We normally do seven points anyway, so I should just change the intro at this point. A reminder about putting it on their tab.

Matt

When you do that, you are punting the question to somebody else, so if they get it right, they get to give a drink to the person that punted the question. If they get it wrong, you earn a point. So risk and reward balance. Chris, I went back to your original explanation for that one to make sure we were getting it right, because for many episodes we were not using that correctly at all.

Matt

Indeed, I added two additional options for this game. These do not result in any points changes or major mechanical shifts, but the first is the Marauder's Map. This will get you making of type questions. So if you hear your question you're like, no, I'd rather do the Marauder's Map. You can do that. This is going to be making of characters, casting, that sort of thing. For the movies, you must use the correct phrase to trigger the map and to put it away. So if you don't know, I'm not helping you, and if you don't use that, you're going to end up with a cosmic chug for not putting the map away.

Butterbeer

Matt

How many of these do we have? You can use that one time. Everybody also can use the Pensieve. You can use that once as well. As we know, the Pensieve allows you to experience and re-examine memories, so this will allow you to get an alternate question that focuses on key differences between the movies and the books. You can use that once as well. So you're not. I can't guarantee that by using either one of those you'll make your life any easier, but you will get a different question out of the deal.

Josh

And that's one time as well. Yes, all right. So everyone has seven points, everyone has a Marauder's Map, everyone has a pensive, everyone has a make it a double and everyone has a put it on their tab.

Matt

And the most important part, everybody has a butterbeer in front of them right now.

Chris

I will Actually pretty tasty, matt, you're slightly redeeming yourself.

Siobhan

I know he is.

Matt

I'm doing my best here. My drinks for the first couple seasons were a little suspect. So as we enter 2025,.

Siobhan

I'm trying to do. Good, let's go with all the things that you usually bring to this. Things were in cups.

Matt

Okay, and there's going to be an episode before this that involves some highly suspect tuna tacos.

Josh

Oh, my goodness, as the only person here who had to smell those.

Christa

Oh man, you guys are all lucky that you didn't have to be here for that. I'm so glad I'm here for a nice sweet drink, right.

Siobhan

Yeah, picked well, yippee.

Matt

I will put up the recipe for this online. I did hand whip the whipped cream topping here.

First Round of Harry Potter Questions

Josh

Oh no, he did it with a machine, a hand machine that was plugged in.

Matt

My hand was involved. My hand was involved.

Christa

If your hand holds the mixer, does it count?

Matt

It didn't make this sound coming out of a whipped cream thing. It didn't make that sound.

Siobhan

Okay, you homemade the whipped cream in my home Good job, Matt.

Christa

It was made in the home Great work.

Matt

I will tell you that when I made this granted, it was for six servings. There are three quarters of a cup of vodka in here and two cups of schnapps. Yippee, this one will sneak up on you if you down it like real fast Well sneak up, it will, because I'm drinking this fast it will. Avada your cadaver, so be careful.

Christa

They're going to be like Siobhan, you have to drink. You're going to be like oh, shoot, yes.

Josh

That was the second Avada Kedavra joke. So far.

Siobhan

I know, get ready what's the over under.

Matt

Probably seven, 15 or 20. I'm scared be seven. Harry Potter puns glory. I will Everyone's dead and I win, perfect. Should we go ahead and get started? Sure, why not Do we have any volunteers? Who wants to go first?

Siobhan

I mean I'll go first, I'm sitting here. I feel, like go big or go home, right Real.

Matt

Alright, Well, here we go. Our own Hermione Granger. What is the name of the pub in Hogsmeade where Harry Potter and his friends often drink butterbeer? Is it the Leaky Cauldron, the Three Broomsticks, the Hogshead or the Drunken Wizard?

Siobhan

I believe it's the Three Broomsticks.

Matt

That is correct, it is the Three Broomsticks. Very nice.

Siobhan

Amazing. I'm going to take a point from Chris because he's next to me and also because I'm very scared that he will know too many things during this round of trivia.

Christa

She said everyone gang up on Chris Setting me up for failure.

Matt

So sorry, don't gang up on him. The roadmap has been laid, trying to help us all out. You're going to have two points by the time this gets back to you.

Siobhan

No, well, he's next, isn't he?

Matt

Unless they decide to go the other way, true, chris? What are the full names of Dumbledore's siblings? Is it Percival and Ariana? Percival and Kendra, aberforth and Ariana, or Aberforth and Kendra, aberforth and Ariana?

Chris

That is correct. Kendra is his mother's name.

Josh

Way-o.

Chris

Very nice.

Siobhan

Wow, ariana, what are you doing here?

Matt

Do you know how they die?

Chris

just for extra gravy. I'm not going to spoil it for anybody. It's not a future question.

Christa

Harry Potter spoilers guys if you haven't watched it. You're going to know.

Chris

We're actually not sure about it. It's either Dumbledore or what's his face, the other wizard, grindelwald, grindelwald, yeah.

Christa

The evil Dumbledore.

Chris

They were arguing and it got a little heated. Well, the mother just dies from that.

Christa

Regular death.

Chris

Regular death.

Christa

Regular death.

Siobhan

Natural causes Could you imagine, if you were like how did they die?

Christa

You were like cancer dude.

Siobhan

I know you're like why would you bring that up?

Christa

How would you say that that's?

Chris

horrible, a heart attack.

Christa

It was tragic, jesus.

Chris

Chris, who's losing a point? Oh Shyvana's. Oh yeah, wow, that was a shocker Back to where you were.

Christa

I've heard I'm tied.

Josh

That is like domestic you-know-what.

Siobhan

You-know-what.

Matt

Back and forth. We know, Josh, which Hogwarts professor was rumored to be a dueling champion in their youth. Is it Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape or Professor Sprout?

Josh

Wow, I will go with Professor Snape, actually Professor Flitwick.

Matt

Oh, all right. His proficiency in charms and dueling made him an invaluable ally during the Battle of Hogwarts.

Christa

Good for him Good trivia.

Siobhan

Good for him. What a cool guy. You got a drink.

Josh

I know, I'm just updating my score.

Christa

Yeah he's the scorekeeper so far.

Josh

Krista's in the lead here, yeah.

Christa

Well, guys, what can I say? She's doing great, no questions, and I'm already in first.

Siobhan

Good job.

Christa

Crazy Off to a strong start Off to a strong start, krista.

Matt

what is the incantation that conjures the dark mark? Is it Mossomordre Crucio Nox Mortis or Tenebrous Signum?

Christa

Can you say them again please?

Round 2

Matt

Possibly Is it Morse, Mordre, Crucio, Nox Mortis or Tenebrous Signum I think it's the first one. It is indeed the first one, morse Mordray. The spell was created by Death Eaters as a means of terrorizing their enemies by marking their murders and putting a big floating skull and snake in the sky. Little menacing.

Christa

Word In my brain. For some reason I wasn't picturing the like the sky one.

Josh

I was picturing like the pulling of the sleeves and I was likeuring the sleeves and I was like is it the same thing?

Christa

It is, it is For some reason I thought it was something different, so that's why.

Matt

I was like am I?

Chris

stupid.

Matt

No, you're not Well, I got it right.

Josh

The skull with the snake. Yeah, I did.

Christa

Good thing I wasn't able to get a tattoo at 14. I would have got that shit. No, no, no.

Siobhan

Aren't they different.

Josh

One shoots a thing up and one makes their tattoos move and kind of like yeah, but it's the same picture.

Siobhan

Oh yeah, the image is the same.

Chris

There's no incantation for the arm thing, they just touch it. Okay.

Christa

Gotcha. That's why I was like is there something else that happens there? Okay, never mind.

Josh

All right, krista. Who's going to be losing?

Christa

I'm going to go with Siobhan. Sorry, Siobhan.

Siobhan

Here we go.

Matt

Your reputation of dominating trivia precedes you.

Christa

I know you're a strong trivia person.

Matt

Siobhan, what's the number of Harry's vault at Gringotts? Is it 687, 713, 327, or 242?

Siobhan

It is 687.

Matt

Yes.

Chris

Yes, it is Freaking nerd.

Siobhan

Literally could have said that to you without multiple choice.

Matt

I'm actually rather impassioned, you may have looked that up days ago?

Siobhan

Who's?

Matt

drinking.

Siobhan

Let's give it to Krista.

Matt

All right, we're going to get even it out Spreading around here. I had that coming.

Siobhan

Okay, it's all love.

Josh

A little payback.

Matt

Chris, what is the rarest ingredient in Polyjuice Potion? Is it Luxweed, hippogriff Feathers Boom Slangskin or Bicorn Horn Boom Slangskin?

Christa

The rarest ingredient is actually Fl fluxweed picked during a full moon because it needs to be harvested at a specific lunar phase, making it difficult if you wanted to be real, would it not be the like hair or skin or whatever of somebody you're trying to look for?

Chris

I feel like that's pretty rare well, yeah, I guess, if you're looking for like a specific person, I guess yeah, but the fact that it could be anything, that's, I guess that's fair, but that's pretty rare.

Christa

Well, yeah, I guess, if you're looking for like a specific person, I guess yeah, but the fact that it could be anything, I guess that's fair.

Chris

But that's a good idea.

Christa

Yeah, Because I'm like if I needed to if I needed to like be Chris, like Chris, only there's one, Chris.

Siobhan

Right, you gotta go get him yeah.

Matt

Yeah, exactly that question was a whole bunch of times, is that?

Chris

one of the things that Snape's pissed about being taken. Yes, he mentions both of them.

Matt

Yeah, he mentions both of those. I know he names the boom slang I remember because it's like boom slang skin.

Siobhan

Yeah, yeah, it sounds just a great name.

Matt

Yeah, All right cool, that was a good Snape, chris. Enjoy yourself a drink for that that.

Josh

Alan.

Siobhan

Rickman.

Josh

And for the record I would have said Boom Slang Skin as well. I thought that was like the thing that Hermione was missing right away.

Christa

Yeah To be turned back. Yeah, maybe Hogwarts just had, like they just picked the flax weed, so it's like oh we actually had a lot of that right now for once.

Josh

That was a deep cut Matt, Nice Good one.

Matt

There's a couple slicers in here, so Josh.

Josh

Of's me.

Matt

Yep, what type of cauldron is recommended for Hogwarts students? Brass size 2, pewter size 2, pewter size 3, or brass size 3? Holy cow.

Christa

This is rough. Get out your acceptance letter here. Yeah, really.

Matt

That list of materials. After Hagrid takes Harry to the bank, he's literally like look at your pile of gold, matt, matt.

Josh

Matt, matt, I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

Chris

Oh, he's going for the Marauders Matt. Solid choice, Thank you.

Josh

I'm not answering that shit. That was going to be a stab in the dark.

Siobhan

That was a good one to do, but I didn't want to give it to somebody else, which is a deep cut in one of the books.

Matt

I'm aware of where it's cutting from, but wow.

Chris

That's a double door joke at some point.

Josh

I have no idea what this category is now going to be, but.

Siobhan

Marauder's map time All right.

Matt

So since you solemnly swear, you're up to no good, this is the category of casting making of questions. So which actor was originally offered the role of Albus Dumbledore after Richard Harris passing, but declined? Now I will say for your own shoot, you can build on your power up.

Josh

So if you want to use, you want to phone a friend here?

Matt

you can.

Josh

I'm not gonna use multiple things here, so your options are patrick stewart, christopher lee, ian mckellen or derrick jacoby, I am gonna take uh, not necessarily shot in the dark dark, but I'm gonna say ian mckellen, that is correct all of them would have been managed you said, I have to say that too right.

Christa

you imagine christopherumbledore that would have been kind of too dark. Patrick Stewart, that would have been awesome. Derek Jacoby is amazing too.

Siobhan

I would have loved all of that, those are great choices. Great choices I would like to mention, in case Matt missed it, he did close the map. Yeah, he closed the map.

Christa

He did say Mischief man, he's so glad to do that.

Siobhan

He did say that.

Josh

I needed to get this out of the way early because if a couple drinks later, I would have never remembered that I'm screwed.

Siobhan

Is the phrase map me.

Josh

When he explained that rule, I was like I'm using that first, run it back, run it back. Avada Kedavra, I feel slightly bad about this, but your wife talked you up so much that I'm going to have to take the point from you, Chris.

Chris

Oh my gosh, and crushed over here, so enjoy your drink.

Josh

And she did say that we wouldn't be able to beat you. She told me that At least it's delicious, I don't know.

Christa

Siobhan's just trying to throw us off her trail.

Josh

That could be true, I did lose to her twice the last time.

Siobhan

I recorded with her.

Round 3 - NEWTs Trivia

Matt

Krista what does accio mean in Latin? Is it I call, I summon, I pull or I bring?

Christa

I'm going to say I call.

Matt

I'm sorry you're drinking. It is I summon damn.

Christa

I'm not good at Latin roots, so I didn't have that option in school.

Chris

I thought you were going to say what is that option?

Matt

in school?

Christa

I was gonna be like I thought you were gonna say what is that spell? And I was gonna be like softball bring me that shit also.

Siobhan

Bring me that shit in line. I bring my shit, that's what it is.

Matt

I bring my shit yep damn all right, josh, you want to give us a points roundup here as we tie up that first round.

Josh

Sure, sure, sure Okay so Chris is in last place with four. He's got all four of his power-ups left. Krista and Siobhan are tied at five with all four of their power-ups left, and I've got six in first place with three out of four of my power-ups left, the only one, I've used is the Marauder's Map.

Matt

All right, siobhan, we all know what the newts are, right, yes, okay. What does newt stand for? Oh, Does it stand for next executive wizard tests, nice and easy wizard testing, nervously excruciating wizard tests, or nastily exhausting wizard tests.

Siobhan

Ooh, I think it's one of the two last ones, your husband's kind of stretched out there, looking kind of confident.

Matt

Yeah, you're going to pull him in.

Siobhan

Yeah, why don't we put it on his tab? I feel like he knows that's fine. I'll help you out, since everybody's taking a crap on you because I said to do that.

Matt

So just remember putting it on his tab. You want him to get it wrong. If he gets it right, he can make you drink. Okay, just you want the double, you can do the double.

Josh

Yeah, make it a double. Yeah, make it a double and bring him in.

Siobhan

Yeah, y'all need a whiteboard or something. I remember all the trivia oh, a whiteboard, that's smart. Yeah, you need a whiteboard to remind you Making it a double Brilliant.

Christa

Yeah, when I was in college we had like the Boy ball game, making it a double. The spirit of Robin and British puppets we had a chalkboard that described kings like the card game kings because everyone always forgot half the rules, all right forgot half the rules, so all right.

Chris

It's nastily exhausting wizard test, that is correct hooray thanks, nicely done. So they, we both get a point, or they both get a point. I'm getting a point. Whoa, you can do this independently so he's taking a point.

Josh

All right, chris is taking a point, so he's back up to five I'll also take a point all right, siobhan is back up to six and Siobhan used her make it a double so that is gone, because now I will remember that's what that is.

Christa

Like now that it's gone Wonderful.

Matt

Chris Hit me. Which of these subjects did Harry Potter not take at the new level? Care of magical creatures, charms, charms.

Chris

Care of magical creatures, charms, care of magical creatures, just stop. Wow Jeez. He said no more, no, more, no more.

Siobhan

I tried to tell you.

Matt

I'm going to Like how. How do you even know these things?

Chris

I'm literally listening to Half-Blood Prince right now and I probably would have known that anyway, but yeah.

Christa

Hager gets super pissed at them and then he's like oh, I knew you wouldn't do it. That's what he sounds like Exactly.

Josh

I'm a perfect voice actor. I remember that clearly in the book. Chris, who are you taking a point from?

Chris

Josh, you can drink.

Siobhan

All right. I like this trivia.

Matt

I'm glad I'm not playing, because I'd be done already.

Josh

This is way better than that music trivia the other night when we all sat there in silence. That thing sucks Golly. That was bad.

Siobhan

I don't know, I won twice.

Josh

You did win twice. Congratulations. You're the smartest of the dummies.

Siobhan

It was definitely not a proud win. I'm not going to lie.

Matt

You're on top of the pile of crap. Congratulations, yay.

Josh

She's like I totally beat Josh who got zero correct. I crushed him. My turn, my turn.

Matt

Your turn, josh. How many newts do you need to become an Auror for the Ministry of Magic? Oh boy, three, four, six or five.

Josh

I think it's five. It is five Congratulations.

Matt

Very cool the stabs in the dark.

Siobhan

Chris

Josh

Christa

I have no reason to fact check this. I've of all of those.

Josh

Siobhan, I'm going to make this an even heat at five apiece and take a point from you.

Siobhan

Got it.

Josh

Fair enough. We have all lost two points so far.

Matt

These are all from the Potterverse website, by the way.

Josh

This whole series of newt questions. You might not have enough questions. I'm just saying.

Matt

I have 44 pages of questions, that is not a problem, he always goes a little overboard.

Josh

I am not concerned, I'm into it.

Matt

Krista, how many newt-level classes did Hermione take? Eight, six, five or seven?

Christa

I want to say seven.

Matt

It is seven, that is correct. Nice, there we go.

Round 4 - Dolores Umbridge Questions

Siobhan

Name them, just kidding.

Matt

Don't do that, I don't care For extra credit and no extra points.

Josh

Siobhan

Chris

Yeah, ancient, runes and what's the?

Matt

Siobhan

Christa

Christa

Siobhan

Josh

real unbelievable. You would say that I have to do it to, to. Chris Chris has been showing off too much knowledge.

Siobhan

Not you, Chris you.

Christa

Harry Chris has been dropping too much extracurricular knowledge out here, I know.

Siobhan

It's good, though it's really good.

Christa

Can we move on?

Siobhan

from these newt questions.

Josh

Yes, we can.

Siobhan

Oh my gosh.

Josh

I'm going to get a really hard one now, I know.

Matt

OWLs Do you take Umbridge with those questions, hey.

Siobhan

Because that's the next series of questions. Mel DeSantis is a queen Going for Dolores, umbridge's greatest hits. Oh man, All right.

Matt

By the way, which houses would you all take? I'm just curious.

Siobhan

Take.

Matt

Yeah, does everybody want.

Josh

Gryffindor, I'm a Gryffindor, I'm a Gryffindor, yeah, for sure.

Christa

What I'm a Slytherin dude.

Josh

I feel, like. I mean, you are wearing skulls all over you.

Siobhan

Shavonna's clearly a.

Chris

Ravenclaw.

Siobhan

I don't know, Chris. You are, you're coming out like a big old, smarty jerk in this episode. This isn't like. Is he Hufflepuffing over there, over there? No, no, hufflepuff, no offense. Those are the derps.

Chris

Sorry, they're the rejects. No, they're not.

Christa

Literally is said in the book Hufflepuffs are literally cannot fit into any of the other three, I will take the rest.

Chris

This is Chris's villain episode right here, what a bully.

Josh

I'm not liking this. Maybe you should go to Slytherin, yeah maybe you do belong in. Slytherin.

Siobhan

I'm smarter than you and you guys all rejects.

Matt

Oh man.

Siobhan

Malfoy.

Josh

Do you have rich parents, chris? Chris is like my father, absolutely not. Maybe All right, all right, I know, I know.

Siobhan

I do enjoy Ravenclaw Ravenclaw's cool.

Matt

I feel like I'm always a goody two-shoes. I'm going for Slytherin.

Josh

I just I do enjoy knowing more than the rest of you, I do.

Siobhan

It is fun for me Just saying.

Matt

You and Hermione probably would have hated each other just based on the virtue of competition.

Siobhan

I don't know, you would have been class rivals. We would have come to love each other eventually.

Matt

Okay, so questions about Dolores Umbridge. Umbridge had a terrible quill that carved the words the user was writing into the back of their hand. God, that was horrible to watch. What color was the quill? Black, gold, green or white?

Siobhan

Yikes, I'm going to solemnly swear that I'm up to no good on this one. A little Marauder's Map here, the color of a quill is going to kill me in this.

Christa

This reads like the type of a thing for the validation. You ever see comments on a thirst trap or something and they'll be like what color was the table in the background? Don't ask me the color of nothing.

Siobhan

I was not looking at that. We all know Okay.

Matt

All right. Which role did Robin Williams express interest in playing but was turned down due to casting roles? Hagrid, Sirius, Black, Professor Lupin or Cornelius Fudge?

Siobhan

Ooh, this is a great question. I would like to think. I don't know that this is correct, but I would like to think it's Hagrid.

Matt

It is Hagrid. That's correct. That would have been really fun. That would have been really fun.

Siobhan

I agree that is fun RIP.

Matt

JK Rowling herself turned it down because she insisted on an all-British cast.

Siobhan

Well, we turning down robin williams already a score against yeah, why would you do that?

Matt

all right, mischief managed. I closed the map. There you go. Good job, I'm proud. Everyone mark it down. I'm very proud of you also.

Siobhan

Again, thank you josh for the reminder that I am now halfway through my drink. To use that before the other half is gone.

Chris

You're welcome, true, what? What was the answer to the quill question?

Siobhan

chris I don't know, I don't know I don't know, he just wants to know and I feel like that's.

Christa

Chris is like no, chris's next question is going to be that I feel like the cruelest thing I could do is move on to the next question and not tell you we didn't get to answer to the cauldron question either.

Siobhan

Yeah, that's true, let's circle back. That would have been pewter size that is correct.

Matt

Chris, do you have a guess? Do you have a guess about the quill I?

Chris

don't, because I think this is a movie, only thing it's black.

Siobhan

You didn't watch the movies. No, he did, but he had a lot of visceral reactions too.

Chris

I mean it very well could have been named like the color named in the book. I just don't remember.

Siobhan

So that's an insane.

Chris

It would have been one word in one book, of course, never mentioned again.

Josh

Siobhan, tell me who you are going to make drink, yeesh.

Siobhan

I always think I wish I'm like oh, I could just give one to Matt.

Matt

But he is not playing. He already finished his drink.

Siobhan

Well, he's not playing, oh God.

Josh

It's so good. That's why the spell names are coming out all backwards, oh my gosh, let's do Krista again. Sorry, okay, I don't know Krista loses a point.

Siobhan

That's okay, siobhan is down to just two power-ups left. Oh God, I thought you meant two points.

Josh

I was like good Lord, just put me on the power-up.

Christa

I was going to be like, since when dude Damn.

Matt

My bad. What horrible committee did Umbridge head up at the Ministry of Magic when Voldemort regained his power? The Muggle-Borne Registration Commission. The Committee for Muggle Management and Control. The Committee for Sorry, I can barely see it Unravel the Muggle-Borne Myth. I'm sorry. The Committee to Unravel the Muggle-Borne Myth. These are hilarious.

Chris

The.

Matt

Muggle-Borne Legitimacy Review Commission. It's the first one, but all of those were awesome, by the way.

Chris

Good job.

Siobhan

No, those are from Potter.

Chris

Those are great yeah it's the Muggle-born Registration Committee. Too funny yes.

Christa

Also terrible. Yeah, I was just going to say is this relevant? I know right.

Josh

This is not a political podcast Josh who's up, oh Lord. We got two fives. Siobhan and myself are at five.

Matt

It's my no politics rule there.

Christa

I didn't even say anything. You got close enough, Plus you haven't been drinking that much.

Matt

Your glass is disturbingly full. All right, I'm going to make Siobhan drink it.

Christa

I'm trying to keep it for the whole round. There you go.

Siobhan

No, well, you're smart.

Chris

Smarter than us. I'm just spreading the love.

Matt

Alright, rude Josh, that's me. What punishment did Dolores Umbridge say would befall any student caught with a copy of the Quibbler? They would be sent to Azkaban. They would be expelled from Hogwarts. Five months detention or writing lines with the Black Quill Expulsion.

Josh

It is expulsion from Hogwarts.

Christa

Would it be crazy if you went to jail?

Siobhan

Yeah, oh, my god, yeah, straight to jail.

Christa

And like the worst jail too, like the absolute worst jail you could be in.

Josh

I feel like I've been punishing Chris too much, so I'll go Siobhan this time. Sorry, Jeez Listen it's been a rough stretch for you.

Siobhan

It's true. Take it, enjoy your drink.

Christa

Mm-hmm.

Matt

Umbridge gave Argus Filch permission to do what to students as punishment. She gave him the power to expel students on the spot, use the unforgivable curses, gave him permission to use Veritas serum on suspected troublemakers or gave him permission to whip them. I think it was Veritas. She gave him permission to whip them.

Christa

Whip them. I don't even remember that.

Siobhan

So mean Yep. Imagine unforgivable curses Can?

Christa

he even do them, though he's a squib. He's a squib. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. That's why I thought Veritas, because it's the potion Whipping children.

Josh

These books got darker than I remember.

Matt

They get real dark towards the end.

Siobhan

Well, this is yeah.

Matt

It's like Order of the Phoenix Spoiler alert.

Chris

It was the 90s, it wasn't anymore.

Siobhan

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he does Well we all know Filch has been through it.

Christa

Yep Justice for Mrs Norris is all I have to say Yo real His poor cat, though she was fine. I ain't going to lie guys. I was recently re-watching Game of Thrones. My sister had never seen it.

Josh

And halfway through Game of Thrones. Yo, is that the janitor from harry potter? Yes, yes, there's so much crossover.

Siobhan

He sure was the janitor, oh yeah, because he's the dad, the father of that giant family I'm only not saying the names, because you all don't know walter fray yeah walter fray, yeah but yeah, she was like ain't that the janitor?

Christa

I was like you're isn't that the reditor?

Siobhan

I was like you're? Isn't that the red wedding? That is the red wedding.

Josh

Yes, it is, and then Arya Stark comes back and kills the entire family and slices his throat.

Christa

Spoiler alert. Ooh yeah, Game of Thrones. Spoiler alert.

Siobhan

Spoiler alert we all don't have too many crossovers. Okay, all right.

Matt

Are we good, Chris? When is?

Josh

Christa

Matt

Josh

update here, please. I don't know if I want to give you one. No.

Christa

Too bad.

Josh

How are we doing what I will say? There are still two players, Krista and Chris, with all four of their lifelines left. I've got three, siobhan has two, and I see a couple of empty drinks here, so I think I'm going to pull a little beer out here. I'm going to pour it around Everyone can partake in it if they want.

Christa

I forgot that we had beer out here. I'm not going to lie. That's why I was trying to savor my drink. Is I'm trying to savor my drink?

Siobhan

Is it going to be?

Christa

good if we put it with this I don't see why not Right.

Josh

Yeah, with the cream, yeah, yeah yeah, so I brought along the legendary. Says it here on the label Dragon's Milk Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout this is an 11% stout.

Chris

She's a little heavy, yeah, it says.

Christa

She a little thick, you know Two.

Josh

C's.

Siobhan

It's right here on the label.

Josh

Here be dragons. So we're going to pour this up and we're going to see how it goes, is it?

Matt

the.

Josh

Hungarian horn tail.

Matt

Okay.

Christa

I was literally just going to say dragons.

Siobhan

Oh, I don't know if it's a question, so I won't ruin one.

Matt

I don't either. I got so many pages of questions. It could be.

Christa

Three questions later, we get the dragons You're like. Oh, shoot.

Siobhan

There's another. There's a dragon that guards Gringotts.

Christa

Is that the dragon that in Universal Studios?

Siobhan

Yes, yeah.

Christa

I've never been there, but I've seen tech talks. It's very fun.

Matt

Who has been here? Who has been to Universal to see Josh? Were you there?

Josh

I am wearing a shirt that I bought at Universal Studios.

Christa

That you bought or your wife bought.

Josh

Well, we bought it we have a joint bank account, but it is my wife's shirt, and I did wear it just for today, so you can all.

Matt

You're looking very svelte today.

Josh

It's form fitting, if you will, rather svelte. We're built a little differently, she and I. I would assume I don't know why, Just a little okay.

Siobhan

Yeah, it's not a dig at anyone. Yeah, just a normal thing.

Josh

I don't know her, so that's okay, she doesn't listen to this podcast. She could look like anything to me Thank you. She might listen to this one.

Siobhan

I was before you showed up here. She's going to grade you.

Christa

She's going to listen to this and grade you on it.

Josh

I had no chance which you're currently winning.

Siobhan

Yeah, you're first so let's make sure she knows that at some point To be fair.

Christa

to be fair, a lot of us have been digging at, like Chris specifically because we know, believe me, if I win this, I'll let her know.

Siobhan

Yeah.

Josh

I would. I will fully support that. That is good. This smells good.

Siobhan

I do not like a stout, but I'm getting ready.

Christa

I like stouts, but I remember not liking this one.

Josh

Well, so Dragon's.

Christa

Milk makes multiple different bourbon barrel aged stouts. I forget which one was the one I had, but I remember distinctly not liking it and I don't really dislike lots of drinks.

Chris

I told you it's like it slaps you in the face.

Josh

It's vanilla stouty, it's heavy, but like you said before, it's not like an alcohol punch, like some of these bourbon barrel stouts that are 8, 9, 10, 11.

Siobhan

It's, definitely it's an alcohol punch.

Round 5 - Battle of Hogwarts Questions

Matt

This is just a.

Josh

It sits.

Christa

It's just a flavor, it's a big boy. Yeah, it's not that bad.

Chris

It's definitely not the one that was like a farmhouse ale, that was like really sharp and like almost too alcoholic.

Christa

I just remember, I remember tasting it and I was like this tastes so malty, like it just was not it for me.

Josh

I was like this is awful Jake, so maybe it was that one. Yeah, this one's not super malty, but I will say a sip of the butterbeer right after the dragon's milk stout.

Siobhan

Very nice, I was going to say I'm going to take a little sniffle of my, not look pretty.

Josh

Oh, she's doing a beer mixture. We'll call it a flip. She just made a flip in her red solo cup.

Siobhan

Yeah, that's good, that's nice Worth it.

Matt

Can we invent a drink? Can we call this I think she just did Can we call this the Voldemort? A shot of actual dragon's milk dropped into butterbeer?

Christa

milk. I feel like that would make it sound like that. Oh, the dark mark.

Siobhan

The dark mark is a great game for this. Yeah, yeah, okay.

Matt

So we're talking Battle of Hogwarts. After using the killing curse on Harry, who did Voldemort ask to check that Harry was dead? Was it Narcissa Malfoy? Yes, bellatrix Lestrange.

Siobhan

It was Narcissa.

Matt

Nice dead. Was it Narcissa?

Christa

Malfoy, bellatrix Lestrange. It was Narcissa. Yes, it was yes. At least I knew that. Just as a side note, I saw a tweet yesterday that I think is relevant and also really funny. It was like dude Voldemort, being so dependent on magic, is such a weak boy. Move Boy really tried to use a killing curse on a baby. Dude, it's a baby, just throw it out the window. Oh my.

Josh

Lord Wow.

Siobhan

And I was like oh my God, well, josh is drinking.

Josh

Okie dokie. I'll drink to that.

Matt

I guess yeah, All right moving on, chris, we're going to test this whole smarty pants thing right now. Oh, I like it. On which date did the Battle of Hogwarts take place? No idea, oh.

Christa

Like of the year.

Chris

I solemnly swear I'm up to no good, all right Our honor's time.

Matt

No one's gone for the Pensieve so far.

Christa

Because we don't understand it. Yeah, I actually kind of forget.

Matt

You just get a different question right. It's between the movies and the books, is what?

Siobhan

it was, which I hate yeah.

Josh

Chris, well, but you'd probably know them. Yeah, you'd probably know it.

Siobhan

That's the thing.

Josh

You've got a whole list of grievances, don't you?

Siobhan

Truly he's like, which is number six on the thing.

Josh

I hate so much about the differences. Which of Chris's grievances are we talking?

Matt

about who almost played Cedric Diggory instead of Robert Patterson Jude Law. Sorry, sorry, robert Pattinson. My apologies to the sparkly vampire.

Josh

I think you have to drink for that. Oh, drink your. I hate the sound drop. That was terrible.

Siobhan

The one time we can make him do it, we gotta do it.

Christa

Yeah, that's true. Gotta take any opportunity.

Matt

Chris, your options here Jude Law, Henry Cavill, tom Hiddleston or Nicholas Holt I am going to give it to somebody else.

Chris

All right, you're putting.

Josh

Put it on someone else's tab. Put it on someone else's tab. Whose tab are you putting it on?

Chris

I'm going to put it on Siobhan's tab. Oh rude.

Siobhan

I have a joint bank account. Chris, You're screwing yourself here.

Josh

Luckily, this game doesn't win you any money. It never will.

Matt

All right you any money? That's it never will. All right, can you so wait? Can you please repeat the question? I think so. Who almost played cedric diggory instead of robert pattinson? Thank you, was it jude law henry cavill, tom hiddleston or nicholas holt oh, so good, um, let's go.

Siobhan

Tom hiddleston is not, is it nicholas holt?

Matt

no, it's, it's Henry Cavill, oh Henry.

Siobhan

Cavill.

Christa

I was trying to think of when this movie came out. When did Goblet of Fire come out?

Matt

Josh is correct. That is why he was not chosen, because he was too old.

Siobhan

I thought he was too old. I love Henry Cavill.

Josh

So I wouldn't have guessed him, because I assumed he would have been in the running to begin with.

Siobhan

That's why.

Christa

I thought about Jude Law too. Wow, oh yeah, jude Law, for sure I was like Jude. Law, and then I was like well, how long ago is God of War?

Chris

My guess was Hiddleston as well, so I'm glad I didn't go for it.

Josh

More husband on wife crime and Siobhan is down to two.

Christa

Well, I stand by it, and I also love Henry Cavill. Yeah, what a cool guy. What a cool guy.

Josh

He's beautiful, oh, not a lot of women would say that about guys who build computers in their spare time he's the witcher I didn't say not a lot of women in this building. Yeah, there's a very specific niche here in this building also.

Christa

You know, you could build computers and be hot.

Siobhan

That's correct Exclusive no. No, no, you didn't say hot.

Josh

You said cool guy Chris, you want to take that one.

Matt

He could be cool and hot, yeah, you can build computers and be hot. Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely. There are two IT guys in this room right now.

Siobhan

Oh yeah, See, there are two IT guys in this room right now. Oh yeah, oh yeah, you can.

Christa

By the way, mischief managed in case someone tried to uno-reverse me.

Matt

Chris's turn ends and someone says I would have said that Josh that's me which horcrux was found in the Room of Requirements. Was it Nagini Nagini?

Josh

sorry, oh, it's the diadem.

Matt

Yep, is that how you say?

Siobhan

it, it's diadem.

Josh

Diadem.

Christa

Oh, okay, I thought it was crazy for a second.

Josh

Ravenclaws.

Siobhan

Ooh, that wasn't trying to catch you, I don't know it's all right, Josh who's drinking Okie dokie?

Josh

I'm going to put Siob Stop stop.

Siobhan

You've tried to get us on that train already.

Round 6 - Magical Creatures

Josh

That's fine, that's fine, I'll sit here and drink while you all and I think you're trying to throw us off your scent.

Siobhan

I mean, listen, did that happen? Probably not to my benefit.

Josh

Ruthlessly beat me in music trivia.

Siobhan

So this is just me trying to take my revenge, that is how for Hogwarts, this train Okay.

Josh

Wait, is that the category?

Matt

No.

Christa

Category Hogwarts train. Categories this whole time.

Siobhan

Krista.

Matt

Whoa. Speaking of the room of requirement, who died in the struggle in that room during the Battle of Hogwarts? Was it Vincent Crabbe, draco Malfoy, blaze Zabini or Goyle Gregory Goyle?

Christa

I think it was Goyle.

Matt

Goyle was sad because it was Crabbe oh.

Christa

I knew it was one of the two Josh, can we get a?

Josh

roundup. There. Siobhan's in last place. She's got two power-ups left, with one point. Krista is in second last with two points. She's got all four of her power-ups left. And then Chris and I are both tied with four points. Chris has two power-ups left.

Siobhan

I have three power-ups left.

Matt

Okay, siobhan.

Siobhan

Yes.

Matt

What creature is bred specifically for use in wizarding transportation and only drinks single malt whiskey? Is it Thestrals, hippogriffs, abraxan winged horses or Fluffy the Cerberus?

Siobhan

Aw Fluffy, uh, I'll do it. What do we do for the Pensieve?

Matt

Well, the Pensieve differences between movies.

Siobhan

Yes, so I just say I want to use the Pensieve.

Matt

Yes.

Siobhan

Like I'll like to go to a there's no catch here. Okay, got it.

Chris

Chris, you knew that one right All right, yeah, the Pensieve.

Josh

She needs this one or she's out of the game Right Peeves the Poltergeist does.

Matt

Which of the following is a memorable Pease moment? From the books that was left out of the films? He helps Harry study for charms. He teaches Fred and George how to duel. He constantly taunts Dolores Umbridge and fights in the final battle. Pease befriends Moaning Myrtle and moves into her bathroom.

Siobhan

Lol that last one. Does he work with Fred and George?

Matt

He does not, is it?

Siobhan

Umbridge.

Matt

It is Umbridge. That's great. I love that.

Siobhan

That's okay if I don't have that, that's a fun one. I like that one.

Christa

Also like see, I feel like I'm just now realizing he's not in the movies. I'm like, oh shoot, Well, really, that's right.

Siobhan

If I have to go down in a bunch of drag.

Josh

Yeah, that's the one. I don't understand why leave him out.

Chris

Because they didn't want to cast another person is my assumption.

Christa

Or they didn't want to do another ghost because they already had nearly had the snake.

Josh

He was such a fun character in the book it would have been an easy thing to write into the movies. If I'm going out in Dragon's Lames.

Siobhan

You're welcome for all opening up the Pensieve as an option for all of you, and I feel like you definitely would be good at that.

Josh

It was the horses, the horses, the Thestrals, right? No, not Thestrals.

Christa

The Abraxin horses that was going to be my guess. Maxime Just evil horses, aren't they Evil horses?

Chris

They're the death horses.

Siobhan

I will Aviti Kadivi myself on this. And say Harry Carey, so bye.

Christa

Arthur Cadaver to you, you know you're welcome. She can go back as the fun-loving poltergeist now. Yes.

Josh

Matt, can we still use her for a double? Make it a double If she's out. Sure, why not? All right, I like it. Will she actually try to help or will she try to tank the person?

Siobhan

who picks her?

Matt

You'll never, know, Chris, is she out?

Christa

for revenge.

Matt

What is the first password to Gryffindor Tower in the Philosopher's Stone? Philosophers.

Christa

Not sorcerers. Yes, we're going with the English version here, is it?

Matt

Waddle Bird, caput Draconis, pig Snout or Fortuna Major.

Chris

Going big with Pigstown? It is not.

Christa

Is it Fortuna Major?

Matt

It's Kaput Draconis.

Christa

What Were these all passwords at one point?

Chris

Pigstown and Fortuna Major definitely are. They were yes.

Josh

What that's rough I would not have known that either.

Siobhan

Me neither. He couldn't send it to me, me, neither, me, neither.

Matt

What did he say? It is he didn't send it.

Josh

Oh, he couldn't send it to me.

Matt

Caput Draconis.

Josh

Like dead dragon no.

Siobhan

Caput is head.

Josh

It's dragon's head.

Siobhan

Oh, okay, it's head in Latin See.

Josh

Siobhan

Latin that I didn't get, ooh.

Matt

Society for the Protection of Elvish Workers. Support for the Protection of Elf Workers. Society for the Preservation of Elvish Welfare.

Siobhan

Oh, okay, now you're on. That is sucky to go out.

Matt

All right, krista. What was Voldemort's mother's name? Hebziva Smith, Marv, eileen, prince or Merope Gaunt?

Christa

Matt

Ooh.

Christa

Duh.

Chris

Oi Barking, make it a double.

Christa

Which one are you picking? I'm going to pick Josh. I hope he doesn't screw me over, but he's sitting here like I knew it, I won't, I won't.

Josh

It's Merope, it's the last one. D.

Chris

Marope, marope.

Josh

Marope Calm down guys.

Siobhan

Meemaw, as Matt said.

Matt

Marope we have nine different Marope-ations Meemaw.

Chris

Meemaw Nine different. Hey, Marope, get over here.

Siobhan

That is the correct one, boy Marope make it a double was correct, right.

Josh

Yes, that was correct, all right, thank you. In some form, krista, you get to either take a point or you get to get another point back, or take a point from somebody, and then I get to do the same I'll take a point, I'll, I'll all right. So chris is going to go back up to two, and I'm going to take a point from chris. Of course I'm sorry, I gotta, just I gotta do what I gotta do over here I'm fighting to prove my wife wrong here okay, I like josh has a mission.

Siobhan

Today I got a mission that is one of the biggest motivators out there.

Josh

True I think chris knew that too.

Christa

I did yeah yeah well, he said, there went um, it's my rope he's coming in hard with the pronunciation when I so I started reading these books when I was six and I just read them Okay.

Josh

No, no, no, no, sorry Sorry.

Matt

Sorry, sorry. In sixth grade, in sixth, grade.

Siobhan

Whoa, sixth grade and six, that's very different.

Josh

Sorry yeah, while I've been drinking.

Matt

You were very far ahead in school, weren't you?

Josh

The way and I was reading them to myself in my own brain, and the way I said Herm even remember how I pronounce her name.

Siobhan

Yeah, something like that. When somebody first said hermione, I was like what the hell's that? And then the movies came out and I'm like also insert every other phrase in that book.

Josh

Yeah, exactly that was the one that really stuck with me.

Matt

I'm like, oh wow, never would have pronounced it that way ever in my life I actually saw the first movie and I know I was in high school but I don't remember exactly when I saw it. Shortly after it came out and I watched it and I hadn't really like, didn't think I'd enjoy the books or anything. I watched the movie and I was like I need to go back and read these books immediately. That was the same for me.

Siobhan

Actually, this is a hard thing to admit. I actually refused to read the books because I was older and so I was like in high school and I was kind of like these books are for kids.

Christa

No, I read them in high school for the first time too.

Siobhan

And then immediately saw the first movie and went oh wait, this is like really cool and I remember jumping in.

Josh

I didn't even read the first book. So sixth grade was my first year of middle school and we had a reading class. Back then we had English, I think but we had a reading class.

Chris

You will read.

Josh

Ziplocs. Our reading teacher read us a chapter of the first Harry Potter book every day, and that's how I first got into the book.

Siobhan

Oh, that is cool, we did that too, but we read Anne of Green Gables. Love that which one. We read Anne of Green Gables.

Christa

No, but I also went to Catholic school until like sixth grade, so I don't think that they were going to witchcraft for you.

Matt

I went to Catholic school from second to twelfth grade. No witchcraft and or wizardry.

Siobhan

Well, mine wasn't that strict, but like it's still.

Christa

I mean, kids read Harry Potter, but I was like I don't know why in my head I was like this is for children and I don't need to read it Because you probably knew kids who were like I read in like second grade and you're like baby, what like, and then I was like I read lord of the rings like an adult right, and I was like this is really good, actually.

Round 7 - Wands

Christa

So yeah, I I good stuff. I read them all when I was like 15 or 16 because I was like maybe I actually didn't even watch harry potter until I was like 15 or 16 and the first movie I watched was chamber of secrets because it was on abc, family or whatever, and I was like yo, this is kind of tight.

Josh

Maybe I should read this yeah, it's good we have a seven-year-old who wants to. He wants to watch the movie, he wants to see the book, read the books, but it's like there's there's killing so it's still pretty heavy for

Matt

a seven. I gotta tell you I'm watching it with sarah, who's nine yeah and the thing that she took the hardest so far was the petrifying of Filch's cat.

Josh

Oh, yeah, oh that's tough, I'm sure she's not going to have a good time with you Once again. Justice for Mrs Norris. I'm saying justice.

Matt

Oh no, we made it through that. We made it through the Goblet of Fire and everything that happens in the Goblet of Fire, but it was the cat. So far that's been the most dramatizing.

Siobhan

Cedric.

Matt

Diggory R life's sucking.

Siobhan

Well, yeah, I think, kill the spare.

Josh

I think, my, my younger, the one who's five. She is a big unicorn fan and if she sees the dead unicorn in the forest she's gonna have a problem with that fast forward by a couple minutes, don't?

Chris

worry my unicorn it'll be okay.

Matt

Alright, here we go, here we go. Alright, let's do this totally not anything weird.

Christa

Final countdown hit me what is.

Matt

Anything weird. Final countdown. Hit me. What is the core of Bellatrix Lestrange's wand? I see smoke coming out from under those headphones. It's glorious. Is it phoenix feather? Dragon's heartstring, testicle, tail hair or unicorn hair?

Chris

I'm going to jump in the pensive he's jumping in. We're going in the pensive.

Siobhan

I'm not even sure that's allowed.

Chris

Do you want the answer? Yes, I do want the answer. It's Thestral too.

Josh

Was it Thestral? Is that what you were thinking?

Chris

Damn it. I didn't know that one. I just wasn't confident enough.

Josh

I wasn't sure on that one either.

Matt

Burning of the Weasley's Home.

Siobhan

There's a cheery title for question oh my god Not in the book.

Matt

So the Half-Blood Prince movie shows the borough being attacked and burned down. Which statement best describes the book's version of the event? It didn't happen. Damn you.

Siobhan

Yes, you are correct it never happened. See, I told you you'd be good at that category.

Matt

You're welcome. I massaged that question to make it a little harder and you were just Huzzah. Josh, you're drinking?

Josh

I know I was already listening to that, Justin.

Christa

yeah, yeah, I know.

Josh

What a shot.

Christa

Don't write me nothing else, don't type me nothing else.

Matt

I know I got it I got it Accio beer, yeah Got it.

Siobhan

Do you even own all the books, chris? You just listen to an audio book. I mean we own a whole copy. Oh no, I own all the books.

Josh

Then he owns half the books. That's the way that works. That's fine. I also own multiple multilinguistic versions.

Siobhan

I heard they're doing new recordings of all the books with specific voice actors for each character. Oh cool, that's cool.

Christa

I used to have all the books, the current audio books are very good, josh.

Matt

That's me. We're sticking with this whole wand thing here for a minute. Damn. What wood is Voldemort's wand made from? Is it holly?

Josh

elm yew or walnut Yew is the elder wand.

Matt

What are the other ones? Holly, elm, yew or walnut.

Josh

Holly is hairy. I'm going to go with elm You're going to go with elm.

Matt

Yeah, you're drinking my friend, boo, it is you. It is you you it's you, josh.

Christa

It's you the whole time.

Chris

Elderwood Elder.

Siobhan

And Holly was only Harry's first wand, right, didn't he break that?

Chris

All the way until Deathly Hallows, when he breaks it. But, then In the movie, he magically is able To repair the wand with the Elder Wand.

Siobhan

That's Chris's madness. You all just got a glimpse into the list of grievances. You want to drink again.

Matt

That's me. All I could hear in my head was the beginning of Soulja Boy you. Get that wand up in your hole.

Siobhan

I hate my brain sometimes because this is how it works. This is how it goes, krista. Yes.

Matt

What does the Sorting Hat say about Ravenclaws? Those of wit and knowledge always succeed. Learning is the key to greatness. Wit beyond measure is a man's greatest treasure. Where are those who value learning always thrive.

Christa

I think I am going to solemnly swear I'm up to no good.

Josh

Okay.

Christa

Nice. She's doing it.

Matt

Love it.

Christa

They all sounded kind of the same and I was like, oh shoot matt, before you go away, is it whip beyond measure?

Matt

yeah, nice which actor broke 80 plus wands during filming because he used them as drumsticks was it daniel radcliffe rupert grit, it could have been matt too. It could have been both of them together might have gotten 160. Sorry, so is it Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Matthew Lewis or Tom Felton?

Christa

I want to say Tom Felton.

Matt

Although that would have been really funny. It is not. It's Daniel Radcliffe, isn't it? It is Daniel Radcliffe.

Josh

Oh, really, the only one, that would have been like that's fine. Yeah, I remember seeing something about that in some video.

Matt

He said he would absentmindedly just drum on his legs and broke dozens over the years.

Josh

And there is a YouTube video. Are they really that frizzy?

Chris

I'm sure they were made of crap. Yeah, I guess that's fair Right, they're not real Paper mache he was on the screen the most you know, actually you are not, you have one left, okay, well, mischief managed guys.

Christa

All right, very nicely done, remembering that, I don't even know if is there a consequence if you didn't.

Josh

Yeah, I think you have to run around the whole house.

Christa

That's crazy screaming.

Matt

Josh, give me a points round up here. Let's see where we are.

Josh

Not a lot of points left on the board. Chris has got one and she's got a pensive and put it on someone else's tab left. Chris has two points and he has make it a double left and I have two points and I have put it on someone else's tab and make it a double left.

Matt

Alright, so we got a little bit to go here and I'm dead.

Chris

Matt

It better be Finite Incantatum. Yeah, it's that one. Finite Incantatum, finite.

Chris

I don't know what that second one was, so it made me very nervous. Finite Incantatum that was my attempt.

Matt

I don't know what that second one was, so it made me very nervous. High nighty cantata. That was my attempt. Oh, you made up something.

Matt

It comes down to Josh RIP.

Chris

I shouldn't have done that, since Josh comes after me. But it's okay, I do.

Matt

Josh, what spell conjures a protective barrier specifically against physical entities?

Josh

If it's not Protego, I'm going to be annoyed, but go ahead.

Siobhan

Is it?

Matt

Cave inimicum.

Siobhan

Sir.

Matt

Good lord, salvingum hexia, repello muggletum, which I love and protego totalum.

Josh

He sounds like a person who's never drank wine trying to read a wine list.

Siobhan

Yes, I actually trust him more with a wine list than this. It has to be the last one.

Josh

If it's not, I'm going to be very upset, it is Protego.

Siobhan

Okay thank you.

Josh

I'll take a point from Chris. It's not shibadid.

Siobhan

And Chris shibadibida. Chris and he need to get this next one right Unless he wants to make it a double with me.

Christa

A diddly dee boat, a diddly.

Matt

I like that the spells answers are not asking. He's got to make it a double left and I have two and I have put it on someone else's tab and make it a double left. Chris, what spell does Voldemort use to fly without a broom? Is it Volatus Ascendio, an unsupported, no incantation flight spell, or Aviforce?

Chris

It's the third one, because we never hear him say anything it is the third one. He just does it and then snape does it and they're like oh, you learned something from your master everyone sounds the same. And then in the movie uh, magically, every single dementor knows how to do it in the beginning of part one. It's like wow again, where is the? Where is the power creep in this movie of?

Siobhan

this episode that is a glimpse into ch's grievances with the Harry Potter books and the movies.

Christa

It's going to be like an NPR episode. It is. It really is. Welcome, Chris. I have a lot to complain about.

Josh

That's me.

Chris

Send it to me. It's 1-1.

Josh

I can either get this or not get it.

Matt

This could be should be the game. Here's the or not get it. This could be. Should be the game. So here is the spell that I wish I had during this podcast occasionally what spell prevents others from overhearing conversations? Muffilato Silencio, quietus or Sonaris Good?

Josh

choices too. I'm 90% certain I could be sneaky here and make it a double, and then we could both take points, or I could. I think it make it a double and then we could both take points, or I could. I think it's muffalato.

Matt

You think it's muffalato? It is muffalato.

Siobhan

Sounds like a great sandwich.

Chris

Can we say it's not actually muffalato, which is a sandwich, and it's muffliato? No, muffliato is the sandwich with an A.

Siobhan

at the end it's muffaletta.
