<p>It&rsquo;s Monday &ndash; you know us, you love us, it&rsquo;s time for Podtrificus Totalus, a Harry Potter podcast done book by book, chapter by chapter.</p>
<p>This week we cover chapter five of <em>Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban</em>, in which Harry encounters a clumsy metaphor for depression &ndash; I mean, a new and foreboding creature in the magical world! &ndash; meets his new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and eats some chocolate.</p>
<p>We make a number of references to outside sources and popular culture, which are listed below:</p>
