KISSY KISSY! This week, be sure to put on your chapstick because the Dementors are ready to pucker up! Join our hosts as they exit the Whomping Willow and attempt to tackle what awaits them on the Hogwarts grounds.\n\n\n\n\nChapter-by-Chapter continues with Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 20: The Dementor's Kiss\n\n7-Word Summary: Chaos ensues on Hogwarts grounds under moonlight\n\nWHAT IF... Peter hadn\u2019t escaped and Sirius\u2019 innocence had been proven? Would Dumbledore have been forced to explain Harry\u2019s blood protection sooner? Would the Ministry have allowed Harry to live with Sirius?\n\nDo we think Sirius is mature enough or in the right state of mind to care for Harry?\n\nDoes it cross Lupin's mind at all that if the moon comes out, they\u2019re screwed?\xa0\n\nWhy is Pettigrew not completely immobilized?\xa0\n\nWe rate Lupin's transformation: did the book vs. the movie do it better?\n\nLupin can be controlled by his Animagus friends, but Sirius doesn\u2019t have much luck - is he out of practice?\xa0\n\nSoooo, Harry and Hermione are totally cool leaving Ron and Snape helpless with a werewolf running around while they go tend to Sirius?\n\nWhy doesn't Harry's thought of living with Sirius work on the Dementors?\n\nConnecting The Threads: Harry attempts to save Sirius in both Prisoner of Azkaban and Order of the Phoenix\n\nQuizzitch: How old was Sirius Black when he played the trick on Snape with Lupin?\n\nNext week: We're off, but we'll be releasing our live show from LeakyCon in Chicago!\n\nDon't forget!
