This week, we're reading Chapter 5 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, “Diagon Alley.” Harry finally gets a glimpse of the world he's been missing, and we've got plenty to talk about along the way.

We're breaking down the chapter art, investigating Hagrid's questionable travel methods, calculating the cost of dragon liver in Muggle money, and wondering how Harry's trip to Gringotts would translate into a theme park ride. Plus, we discuss the details we hope the upcoming HBO series gets right, from the colorful shops of Diagon Alley to the wild ride through the Gringotts vaults.

And of course, we have a few important questions: Why is Hagrid carrying moldy dog biscuits? How did the Dursleys get back to shore? And is leftover birthday cake an acceptable breakfast?

We're wrapping up our series on Disney attractions turned movies with the 2003 Haunted Mansion, starring Eddie Murphy. And we're bringing back our resident Halloween expert and show artist, Bryce Bridgman, for the occasion! Does this movie deserve a spot among our childhood staples, or should it be left to haunt the Disney vault? We're talking singing busts, Grim Grinning Ghosts, hidden Mickeys, questionable CGI, and all the ways this movie brings the classic attraction to life. Plus, we dig into the history of the ride and put the movie through our official IQ Test.

The critics weren't exactly impressed, but can this spooky Disney comedy win us over?

Hagrid has arrived, and Harry Potter's life is about to change forever.

In Chapter 4 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, “The Keeper of the Keys,” Harry finally learns the truth about who he is, what happened to his parents, and why the name Voldemort means so much to the wizarding world. Jeremy and Jonathan break down Hagrid’s iconic entrance, Petunia’s long-awaited confession about Lily, and all the lore packed into this chapter.

We also debate the book versus movie versions of some iconic quotes, wonder what exactly a Keeper of Keys and Grounds does all day, ask how Hogwarts handles tuition, and pitch a few ideas for what the upcoming HBO series should keep from the book.
