Today I am joined by the lovely Emily Cavender to discuss chapters 17-20 of Prisoner of Azkaban. We discuss Harry's motivations, Snape's motivations, why Lupin doesn't seem more concerned about not taking his potion, and wonder if he made the right choice in not telling Dumbledore that Sirius Black is an animagus. Emily introduces us to fan fiction, "fanon" versus "canon", shipping, and lays out her argument for WolfStar.  This is part one of two. Part two will be posted next week!  MISCHIEF (MANAGED) NIGHT COCKTAIL HOUR: October 30th at 8pm EST.
