Mad-Eye Moody: Character Study, Part 2 Nov 15, 2021

Show notes

Spoiler alert: Mad-Eye's dead. So of course now it's time to properly eulogize his gnarled corpse. Alice and Martha discuss the real Mad-Eye in the fifth, sixth, and seventh books, where he turns out to be even gruffer and more socially awkward than the imposter Moody.

Mad-Eye Moody: Character Study, Part 1 Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

Oh no you don't, laddie!! It's time for Alice and Martha to discuss all things Moody in the fourth book, and some things Barty Crouch, JUNIOR (though this is not a Barty Crouch character study). From his x-ray vision to his penchant for pushing the boundaries of what's appropriate to teach high school students, it's really a wonder that he made it through an entire school year at Hogwarts.
