Welcome to a new quarantine project brought to you by the RealzTenisFanz Podcast! We are excited to have the lovely Deb (@shackle52) that most of you already know from twitter to join Realz (@realztenisfanz) and Janina (@jlr78) as we break down the Harry Potter series while Andreen is locked up in Azkaban for not sharing our love of this magical world! We will be taking a literary dive into all 7 Harry Potter books in chronological order. We hope you will be an active part of this series.
*****I answered the trivia question*****
In our 5th Episode, we begin Book 3: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It is this book that it becomes apparent that this series will be dark and things might not be all happy endings. Again we deal with the issues at Privet Drive and get into how safe is Hogwarts. Are Ron and Harry not mean to Hermione? The Dementors are here and how does magic really work in the environment? As always, we welcome suggestions, comments, criticism, praise, questions and nuanced insights. Be warned that there might be some cuss words but we will strive to never go beyond PG-13 rating. NB That this episode is be available on YouTube hopefully and thus easier to comment

We will be taking a literary dive into all 7 Harry Potter books in chronological order. We hope you will be an active part of this series.
In our 4th Episode, we conclude Book 2: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. We know that this book holds all the secrets for the whole series. It foreshadows all of the major plot points of the series with a glimpse of so many symbols, people and places that will represent so much more to the overall magical theories of the world. We get into the plot of what is really happening at Hogwarts. Surely this is not the safest place in the magical world? The dangers of incompetence and Harry in the Chamber of Secrets. How is the magical world ignoring all the signs that Voldemort is not dead and trying to come back?
I forgot to answer the question again. But here is a reminder, Arrange the potion bottles as laid out by Professor Snape in the next to last chamber where the Sorcerer/Philosopher's stone was hidden by the clues Snape gave and figured out by Hermione. It will be answered in next podcast because Janina did her homework.
As always, we welcome suggestions, comments, criticism, praise, questions and nuanced insights. Be warned that there might be some cuss words but we will strive to never go beyond PG-13 rating.

Welcome to a new quarantine project brought to you by the RealzTenisFanz Podcast! We are excited to have the lovely Deb (@shackle52) that most of you already know from twitter to join Realz (@realztenisfanz) and Janina (@jlr78) as we break down the Harry Potter series while Andreen is locked up in Azkaban for not sharing our love of this magical world! We will be taking a literary dive into all 7 Harry Potter books in chronological order. We hope you will be an active part of this series.
In our 3rd Episode, we begin Book 2: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. We come to realize that this book holds all the secrets for the whole series. It foreshadows all of the major plot points of books. This 2nd novel provides us with a glimpse of so many symbols, people and places that will represent so much more to the overall magical theories of the series. We discuss them all and discover new ones that we overlooked. As always we begin with the action at Privet Drive documenting the abuse and torture of Harry leading to a spirited discussion of Prejudice and Discrimination in the Magical/Real World.
The trivia question (Arrange the potion bottles as laid out by Professor Snape in the next to last chamber where the Sorcerer/Philosopher's stone was hidden by the clues Snape gave and figured out by Hermione) was not answered and so no new trivia question in this episode. However, in Part II of the Chamber of Secrets podcast, we will provide the answer and a new trivia question.
As always, we welcome suggestions, comments, criticism, praise, questions and nuanced insights. Be warned that there might be some cuss words but we will strive to never go beyond PG-13 rating.

Welcome to a new quarantine project brought to you by the RealzTenisFanz Podcast! We are excited to have the lovely Deb (@shackle52) that most of you already know from twitter to join Realz (@realztenisfanz) and Janina (@jlr78) as we break down the Harry Potter series while Andreen is locked up in Azkaban for not sharing our love of this magical world! We will be taking a literary dive into all 7 Harry Potter books in chronological order. We hope you will be an active part of this series. We welcome as always suggestions, comments, criticism, praise, questions and nuanced insights. Be warned that there might be some cuss words but we will strive to never go beyond PG-13 rating.
In this episode we, “conclude” Book 1: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone. We get to the People and the Plot of the opening book. We deliberate on the “Trinity”: Harry, Hermione and Ron. We begin to ask the question as to whether Hermione is the real hero of the group. How does one function in a magical world with the power of magic at your fingertip? Why does Ron have an old wand, a hand-me-down from his brother Charlie? What of the Weasleys and their status in the magical world? Bullying in the magical world? Did we all hate Professor Snape from the start? What of the ending? What stood out for us?
The answer to last episode’s trivia is given. The trivia for this episode is: In an effort to secure the Sorcerer/Philosopher’s stone, the Hogwart’s teachers set various obstacles in connecting chambers underneath the school. Professor Snape’s effort saw him placing various portions in a row with clues to decipher their order so that one can either get through to the final chamber, leave safely, be stuck in the chamber or succumb to a poisonous death, depending on the bottle one chooses. You should find the information in the book on pages 228-229 or in Chapter 16 of Book. Read through the instructions and arrange them from Left to Right. Your responses on be on Twitter (DM, tweet) or in the comment section. Each of us host, will also have to work it out.
As promised here are a series of questions we hope to answer and consider through our journey of the Harry Potter Book Series.
No one asks Superman why the Holocaust happened on his watched? (Side note, the original inventors were Jewish men) yet Black Panther had to reconcile slavery and that was an overarching theme within it, Africa v the African Diaspora...Real world history becomes an issue when the fantasy world is rooted in the real world. Therefore,
1) Does fantasy world have to deal with real world history?
2) How do you think fantasy world can deal with real world history?
3) Is it too complex for fantasy to deal with especially if it is children lit?
4) Why do fantasies always replicate many of the isms of the real world? For example, men are often the stronger character. Women as secondary characters. White characters take the lead. Characters of colour are often cast in subordinate roles. Able-ism Queer and oddities portrayals. Capitalism wins out even in fantasies. Class issues. Ageism
5) Is this marketing, propaganda or just writing what they know?
6) Is it that fantasies are mere continuation of real world events to maintain status quo if they are saying magic has to fight epic battles for one or the few?
7) Is this escapism?
8) Magic as a solution for anything or something?

In this initial episode, we get into our initial introduction and impressions of the Harry Potter World.
We also get into the opening scenes of book 1: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone, Harry at Privet Drive and Harry's introduction to his true self of being a wizard/magical, the true history of his past and his first conscious entry into the magical world and school. There will be another episode to conclude hopefully the first book or there might be a third episode. Nevertheless, we will get to all of the books.
Enjoy!!

During these trying times as folks are losing hope and faith in all things, we decided to take you back to church and bring you a deliverance service unlike no other. Janina brought up a sermon on the new ATP chairman, Andrea Guadenzi's message of togetherness. We then had a deep dive into how do we tennis in the time of Covid-19. ATP and other sporting authorities seem to be imagining a world unlike what we know it to be. Check us out and please ignore Sister Janina's requests for offerings. All this and more to be heard on this episode.
Don't forget that the discussion can continue wherever you can find us to tell us your comments and how you really feel!!! We're on Twitter @A_Gallivant (Andreen), @JLR78 (Janina) and @RealzTenisFanz (Realz)!!

Back with another exciting episode for you in this very stressful time of a pandemic. We are here to serve you up with the best medicine, laughter. So as usual, tennis thinks it can isolate and insulate itself from the global world. They always take a different path. With the corona-virus outbreak impacting California, Indian Wells is slated to go on and we ask the WTF questions?? We get into the weeds of this issue especially with that comic public statement. Several hours after taping, the tournament turned off Fox News and cancelled the tournament. Of course, it goes without saying that they heard our full discussion and acted appropriately. Hear our full discussion for yourself and let us know what you think.
Not only do we get into this contamination, we also get into the other viral illness that is Sharapova Sickness. She is retiring and we wanna know what is the legacy and should we even care. And of course, with one retirement, we have a return. Andreen forces us to discuss the new return of Kim Clijsters.
All this and more to be heard on this episode. Don't forget that the discussion can continue wherever you can find us to tell us your comments and how you really feel!!! We're on Twitter @A_Gallivant (Andreen), @JLR78 (Janina) and @RealzTenisFanz (Realz)!!

So we are back with another exciting episode of the podcast in celebration of Black History Month and the fact that two black guys, Gael Monfils and Felix Auger-Aliassime made it to the finals of Rotterdam ... what a wonderful gift for this auspicious month.
For this episode we could think of no one else more fitting to bring into this discussion than photographer extraordinaire Chad of @CCSmooth13 (Twitter) and instagram.com/ccsnaps13/
