S3E2 - The Darkness Arrives (Prisoner of Azkaban Ch. 4–6)

Freedom, Fear, and First Flights
Harry’s peaceful two weeks at the Leaky Cauldron mark a rare calm in his story — mornings of freedom, Diagon Alley strolls, and no Dursleys in sight. But that warmth fades fast once the Hogwarts Express rolls into the storm. In this episode, Honest explores Chapters 4–6 of The Prisoner of Azkaban, where new mysteries take shape: the strange kindness of Cornelius Fudge, Lupin’s quiet strength, and the chilling arrival of the Dementor. Back at Hogwarts, the year begins with crystal balls, broken glasses, and one unforgettable first flight on Buckbeak — a breathtaking moment that quickly turns dangerous when Malfoy’s pride takes a hit. This is the turning point — when the magic grows darker, the laughter sharper, and Hogwarts starts to feel a little more real. Wands down, hearts full. 💜
