Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban, Chapters 18-19 (Patreon)

Good morning, Patrons! I hope that your Mondays weren't too painful, and that you all enjoyed the Hannibal episode! I'm finally feeling a little better, but I don't know what was going on with me to begin with. Just a profound fatigue, I guess. 

These two chapters of Harry Potter are crammed full of information and exposition. Roshawn said she found this all very satisfying, and I'm glad to hear that because personally I was never a big fan of this scene. It always struck me as a little too talky, and riddled with that unfortunate device that gets a little over-used in the early books: nobody listens to anyone else. Many things that could have been cleared up in 30 seconds are argued over for 15 minutes. Pet peeve, you know?

I do find it adorable that Roshawn truly thinks that this here is the climax of the book. She says something like, "We're so close to the end, what more can possibly happen?" and I had to try not to LOL. She's got it in her head that they're going to head back to the castle with a parade of an unconscious floating Snape, an escaped convict, a secret werewolf, and a student with a broken leg, and go calmly explain everything to Dumbledore. Oh, sweet summer child. 

Thanks so much, everyone, for listening! I love you all so much. <3 See you tomorrow with The Broad-Cast!
