Harry Potter and the Half-Lettuce Prince - Show Notes

The Lettuce Podcast is off in search of Horcruxes! The latest episode focuses on the sixth installment of the Harry Potter series: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Tori moderates with Charlotte and Laura at her side. The girls also have their first ever "Peanut Gallery" as friends Steph and Kyle sit in on the recording to join in on the laughter, commentary, and snacks! Tori leads a discussion about the fascinating backstory of Tom Marvolo Riddle. Charlotte notes Hermione's anger regarding Harry's use of the Half Blood Prince's book. Laura thinks Snape might be a subpar Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Steph pipes up to express her thoughts about the nature between students and their most influential teachers. A listener question about broom flying is also discussed. Is Horace Slughorn's interest in young and famous students a little creepy? Was Snape's potential diminished by being forced to hold a teaching position that he hated? Could Ron and Hermione be any more like stereotypical teenagers? All this and more in this episode where both our three heroes and hosts say goodbye to the most powerful wizard of all time, Albus Dumbledore.

Tori, Charlotte, and Laura play a game called Create-A-Spell, which was inspired by the Half Blood Prince's knack for inventing his own spells. They each come up with a spell, it's incantation, and effect! After that, the Alphabet Sentence Game returns and has the three hosts making up a one-word-at-a-time story all about Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!  


  
Everyone was feeling pretty lucky as they sipped on the Podtail: Felix Felicis! You can find a recipe for this truly delicous drink here.

 
Charlotte organized her own Slug Club and served fancy hor d'oeuvres: chipotle-lime shrimp and chocolate & raspberry pastries.
