Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, Halloween and Quidditch Harry and Ron become Sherlock Holmes and Watson and this chapter has the iconic movie scene turned viral internet meme "It's LeviOsa not LeviosA" or however you spell it. While Hermione looks very smart and talented, it doesn't make Ron feel very good to be shown up by his Charms partner. His reaction was... not great. He says some mean things about Hermione, leading her to spend the rest of the day in the girls bathroom, crying. At the Halloween feast, Quirrelldemort pulls his troll nonsense, which is a plot line I touch on thoroughly and sparked this week's bonus episode "Trolling Dumbledore" which is available to Free Elf Patrons and above (https://www.patreon.com/BelatedBinge). We then get a TON of action with Harry and Ron saving Hermione from the troll with a well placed wand up the nose and a successful pronunciation from Ron dropping a club on the troll's head. This naturally forms our Golden Trio (finally). Quidditch was highlighted by Harry nearly plummeting to his death from a broomstick, which becomes bit of a theme in these books... This time of course, it was Quirrell trying to kill him. Oh, and Hermione catches Snape ON FIRE!!! I also put the character spotlight on Neville, discuss my favorite foreshadows and have some special announcements!
