Kevin, Chantae, CJ, and Natasha are closing out Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with chapters 19–22, and the ending is doing a LOT.

Sirius Black finally tells his side of the story, Peter Pettigrew gets exposed, Remus Lupin’s secret blows up, Snape turns peak hater, and Harry gets the closest thing he’s had to real family — only for it to slip away almost immediately. Then Hermione pulls out the Time-Turner and suddenly we’re saving hippogriffs, dodging Dementors, and asking why Hogwarts is always one bad adult decision away from disaster.

After the recap, we’re getting into the bigger conversation: did Harry choose mercy, justice, or just the possibility of having family? Because letting Peter live was morally understandable… but whew, the consequences are nasty.

Plus, we talk Sirius, Lupin, Snape, Dumbledore’s chaos-management style, Hermione carrying the plot in her backpack, and why this book’s ending hits harder than people remember.
