Our main discussion is The Secrets of Sorcerer's Stone: We expose the little things in the first book that ended up playing a larger role later in the series -- especially within Deathly Hallows. Does Dumbledore govern Harry's existence from the very beginning of the series? What protected Harry overnight on the Privet Drive stoop? #SecurityNightmare Did Rowling know the role Sirius would play in later books? Why are wizards so willing to risk exposing themselves following Voldemort's downfall? Why does Dumbledore think Harry's scar will come in handy? Does Dumbledore suspect a Horcrux connection exists this early on? We connect the MANY threads between Sorcerer's Stone and Deathly Hallows The importance of Gringotts and Griphook King's Cross and the Doorway Between Worlds Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog Card and what it means for Fantastic Beasts We discuss Centaurs, Harry's Magical Protection and Snape's Loyalties The Sorcerer's Stone, the Deathly Hallows and the Quest for Immortality The Golden Snitch and Neville's bravery Patrons question the "Lost 24 Hours" between Voldemort killing Harry's parents and Harry's arrival at Privet Drive, Dudley's tail, and school attendance Learn more about your ad choices.
