It's Monday and that means yet another episode of Podtrificus Totalus, a Harry Potter podcast done chapter by chapter, book by book. We continue our coverage of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with mounting rumors about Harry's connections to the attacks on students. Snape and Lockheart host a disastrous Dueling Club that does little to improve Harry's reputation or the students' preparedness, and two more denizens of Hogwarts are petrified by the end of the chapter.
We make a number of references to outside sources and popular culture, which are listed below:
-
The Last Days of Summer by Steve Kluger
-
The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot
-
Filius Flitwick on the Harry Potter Lexicon
-
Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino

Our Spell of the Week is Expelliarmus, which the students learn at the Dueling Club and which will probably return many more times throughout this podcast.
