#11: Mandrakes!

We are going over CHAPTERS 12-15 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! We're discussing the events of the chapters, fear, acromantulas, and of course, MANDRAKES!  This is our second to last episode of Chamber of Secrets -- which means there's only a few weeks left to earn house points for your house before we give away the house cup! Be sure to follow us on instagram at @FirstYearsPod -- we're going to have a day for each house to earn house points. At the end, all members of the house who wins will be entered into a giveaway!  You can also earn points by rating and reviewing us and leaving your name and Hogwarts house!  Twitter & Instagram: @FirstYearsPod Email us at: firstyearspodcast @ gmail . com  https://www.authorsarahjonesdittmeier.info/firstyearspodcast SOURCES:  Brussell, David Eric. “Medicinal Plants of Mt.
