Villains are always fun to discuss. What makes a good one? The Potter villains are pretty diverse. So diverse we sometimes have to ask “Is X a villain?”
This depiction of the 6 defense against the dark arts professors is made by suwi!
Listen in as Akua and Ashley, both officers of Geek Girl Brunch NYC (also of A Stylish Jedi and You Haven’t Seen respectively) chat about Voldie, Umbry, Snapey Snape, and all the other guys.
Voldemort:
Was telling his backstory a bad move? We do symapthize with him at points. Do we like to know more about our villains or does it ruin our fear or hatred of them?
Umbridge:
She’s the worst. Mostly because we know actual real life people like her. We may not know genocidal maniacs, but passive aggressive biotches, yep. We know those.
Snape:
Is he a villain? Is his story tragic or stupid? Sweet or creepy? Listen to our episode about relationships for more about Snape.

**There were so many topics and so many episodes I tried to schedule that I actually found myself needing some Pepper-Up Potion. I actually fell asleep during two records, it was embarrassing. So I will continue recording with others and Common Room will have a mini Potterday on September 1st!
