In this episode, we discuss the perfect Harry Potter Christmas. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:
· 1:22 Opening presents. The rest of the day would feel off if the day didn’t begin with a mountain of magical goodies at the foot of Harry’s best. Seeing all the things he gets is flooring, considering how few friends he has made.

· 7:50 Christmas breakfast. After waking up and opening presents, a good Christmas breakfast is a great way to kick off the festivities. Without a good first meal, the tone for the rest of the day wouldn’t be as merry.

· 11:49 Winter walk. The grounds of Hogwarts are absolutely huge, so exploring it is always a treat. To add to that, the wintertime makes it so much more magical, especially on Christmas. It would be just a blast to walk around the snow and ice of the grounds, maybe stopping by Hogsmeade and getting a butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks.

· 17:27 Lunch and a snowball fight. We have seen our fair share of snowball fights at Hogwarts, but now we are making it official. It would be even more fun to use magic. Snowballs would be flying and there might be some injuries, but it is all worth it for some winter fun.

· 23:32 Sitting by the fire. As the sun sets, the perfect way to end the afternoon is by the fire with something like a book or a boardgame. The common room is likely very well decorated and it is the perfect place to spend some time. Additionally, it would be fun to explore the castle a bit. There is more than meets the eye, that is for sure.

27:05 Christmas Dinner. It goes without saying that this is the climax of the day. Maybe it is still snowing and some more torches have been added to the hallways, and the vibes are set for the most important meal of the holiday season. Christmas at Hogwarts is truly magical, and a dinner is the right way to cap it off.

In this episode, we flip the script and discuss what would happen if Harry grew up with Sirius. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:
· 1:22 The story wouldn’t be as good. It sounds strange to say, but it is true. The magic of the story comes from Harry’s ignorance for the first 11 years of his life, then the spark that comes from his realization that there is so much more to his life and an explanation why strange things happen around him.

· 7:29 He would be more powerful. It took just a few years at Hogwarts for Harry (or more accurately the piece of Voldemort inside him) to grow into a powerful wizard. But if Harry knew he was magical years earlier, he might have been able to land on his feet at Hogwarts and learn magic faster.

· 11:55 He would be more like James. That might also mean that he might be more of a bully. Dudley didn’t do much for Harry, but he did teach Harry humility. Harry wasn’t about to become a bully at Hogwarts after being tortured for years at home. But if he didn’t have that and he had a much bolder and James-like father figure at home, he might be a little different.

· 18:33 The Mirror of Erised might not show his parents. In the end, it probably will. Harry isn’t a completely different person after all. But, when he is with Sirius, he has the person who was the closest person to his father. Petunia was Lily’s sister, but they were far from close. Harry might miss his parents just a bit less with Sirius around.

· 23:00 The story wouldn’t happen. This is true of every Flip the Script. The differences would be smaller than others, but they would bump the story in such a way that would send it into a totally different direction.

· 25:40 Harry would have less character. He would still be famous, but nothing about him other than that would be different. He would just be another student from another wizarding household coming to Hogwarts.
