Tue, 29 Sep 2020 04:00:00 -0600

You may not have waited quite 12 years for this episode, but it has been a bit since our last book to movie comparison!

Audrey also spends quite a bit of time pointing out all the times that Snape is terrible and it gets left out of the movie. PSA: Snape does not protect the trio from werewolf Lupin.
