Episode Summary
Potter Revisited Episode #54 Accusatory Whiplash AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 17 "Cat, Rat & Dog"
This chapter has so much great buildup and reveals
Is Buckbeak actually dead in this timeline?
Ron pushing Harry out of the way of the giant dog - MVP move
Is Ron pushing Harry out of the way his own will? Or is it the Horcrux in Harry causing him to protect him
Ron's leg breaking is still hard to read
Harry's reasoning to not go for help - "That thing is big enough to eat him!"
Why don't the trio ever split up? Hermione could of gone for help while Harry went after Ron
The Shrieking Shack reveal is great
Was the tunnel to the Shrieking Shack made for Lupin like the Whomping Willow was planted, or was it already there and repurposed?
The Sirius Black reveal - also amazing!
Sirius doesn't do himself any favours being super vague
Harry has a voice telling him to kill Black - is this his own inner voice or the Horcrux inside him?
Ron's line "If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too!" is such a great Ron moment and it doesn't make sense why Hermione got it in the movie
Does Harry even know how to kill someone with a wand?
How did Crookshanks come to trust Sirius?
Lupin comes in, but before we can truly feel relieved, it appears he is in league with Sirius - such a big betrayal
The short conversation Lupin has with Sirius before they hug really shows how close they were before
The emotions Lupin must have gone through thinking Sirius was bad all this time, and then learning that he was actually framed
Lupin does a great job of deescalating the trio - without him Sirius would have been a goner
Should the chapter have been split into two? The Sirius Black reveal is overshadowing pretty quickly by the other accusations and the Peter reveal
Snape Sucks total for Chapter 16: 0
