In this next season of 'Nostalgia Hits Differently', James and Imo are off to revisit the 'Wizard Boy Wonder' of the 2000s: Harry Potter. In this first episode, the critics return to the first two instalments of the saga. They discover that the 'Boy Who Lived' seems to have a death-wish in 'The Philosopher's Stone' (2001); why prejudice is okay when it's systemic in 'The Chamber of Secrets' (2002), and how Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry couldn't be more of a health and safety violation. This is the first of a four part retrospective overanalysing the themes, character development and gaping plot-holes across the eight films of the 'Harry Potter' franchise (2001-2011).
