    In this action-packed DOUBLE episode, we dive into chapters 3 through 6 of the second book in the Harry Potter series. The journey begins with Harry's dramatic rescue by Ron and the twins, involving a flying car and a daring escape from the Dursleys. The Weasley family dynamics are explored, with a special focus on their magical home, The Burrow.

    We then follow Harry and his friends as they navigate the bustling streets of Diagon Alley, encountering the ever-charming yet suspicious Gilderoy Lockhart. The group faces challenges with enchanted books and a surprise encounter with the Malfoys, leading to a tense confrontation.

    The excitement continues as Harry and Ron miss the Hogwarts Express and make a dangerous journey back to Hogwarts in the flying car, only to crash into the Whomping Willow. The episode also highlights their disciplinary encounters with Professor Snape and Headmaster Dumbledore.

    Finally, we delve into their first few days back at Hogwarts, including a chaotic Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Lockhart and an introduction to the magical yet dangerous mandrakes in Herbology. This episode is filled with magical mishaps, family feuds, and the ever-growing mystery surrounding Hogwarts' new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

    We're back with David today in some of the most action-packed (and clue-packed) chapters yet! Luckily for us in the know, he doesn't pick up on most of them.

    In other news, the brothers' Dungeons and Dragons campaign has come to an end after 4 years. In that campaign, there was a "vampiric" villain, who David believes can be compared to Voldemort, that sought to overpower another group of wizards.

    But where is Voldemort now? David believes he's "ethereal," or on another plane, trying to figure out how to get his body back.

    Enjoy!
