In this episode, we discuss the curse of July 31. Enjoy!
Topics/Summary:
· 1:49 1991. Harry realizes he is a wizard, but the very day he buys his very first wand and gets ready for his first year at Hogwarts, Quirrell breaks into Gringotts and tries to take the stone.

· 9:41 1992. Dobby arrives at 4 Privet Drive and urges Harry to stay away from Hogwarts that year, claiming that great danger is coming to Hogwarts. Harry doesn’t believe him, but later finds out that Dobby was correct.

· 15:06 1993. Aunt Marge arrives, and leaves a few days later in the air. Harry decides to run for it and sees a death omen, the Grim, in the street. The Knight Bus picks him up, but he doesn’t forget.

· 19:11 1994. The best one yet, following the worst year. Harry gets sweets and letters from all of his friends and has a peaceful birthday. This throws the end of the book with Voldemort’s return and Cedric’s death into great contrast.

· 22:02 1995. Order of the Phoenix if similar to the Goblet of Fire, but Harry throws out the sweets. He is angry that he is being kept in the dark, and he regrets this later. Sirius’s death is later in that book, which is mirroring the decision with the sweet. It was rash, and he regretted it greatly.

· 26:05 1996. Harry spends this birthday at the Burrow, but Lupin brings news of a dementor attack, leaving Igor Karkaroff worse than dead in a shack up north. The Burrow is attacked in the film and burned down.

· 28:42 1997. The minister shows up and reads the will of Dumbledore to the trio. Bill and Fleur have their wedding, but it is ambushed by Death Eaters. Harry, Ron, and Hermione narrowly escape them and begin their lives on the run, hunting horcruxes.
