    #118 Hastily Wrapped Fondue Pot | OOTP 20, Hagrid's Tale

    Potter Revisited Episode #118 Hastily Wrapped Fondue Pot AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 20 "Hagrid's Tale" Tori recalls her childhood babysitter encouraging her to finish this chapter Is this chapter a bit dull compared to the previous? Harry has just gotten in so much trouble and kicked off the Quidditch team but he is willing to risk it all to see Hagrid Shay does not understand how big the Invisibility Cloak is - how does it fit three teenagers? Despite it being against the rules and right after a long trip, Hagrid is happy to see the trio It's been a long book so far without Hagrid The films played it very safe with Hagrid's appearance Shay is not a fan of the green ooze Hagrid is trying so hard to keep his secret operation a secret but the trio will not give up, they are just so nosy It's interesting to think that Hagrid left for this mission at the very end of GoF and is only getting back now part way through the term Fudge had someone tailing Hagrid immediately at the end of GoF - or has he always had someone keeping an eye on Dumbledore's inner circle? Finding Giants isn't hard according to Hagrid What did Hagrid get into a disagreement with a Vampire about? Shay appreciates the trio using their Slytherin traits to coerce Hagrid to talk about his mission with them in exchange for catching him up on what happened to Harry Hagrid's tale about the giants is actually quite grim for a children's book Wizards 100% contributed to the giants current predicament and it is nice the story includes it Shay can grudgingly admit that Dumbledore played this right diplomatically Was the battle helmet giving to the Giant Grug commissioned for a Giant head? How did Dumbledore manage to have this? Hagrid's mission is thrown off by the Grug they were working with being killed off soon into their operation Hagrid was unfortunately not able to recruit any Giants to the cause which is disheartening Love Hagrid's admiration for Madame Maxime Hagrid and the trio are interrupted by Umbridge paying Hagrid a visit Why is Umbridge bothering Hagrid so late at night? Surely her interrogation could wait until a respectable hour +1 sucks point Umbridge speaks to Hagrid so rudely, obviously showing her prejudice +1 sucks point Interesting that Umbridge at least attempted to be fake nice with the other professors but not with Hagrid It doesn't seem right that Umbridge can demand to know why and where Hagrid was on leave Love Hagrid but he is so bad at lying Hagrid loves yapping too much to sense Umbridge's bad vibes Umbridge hates Fang which is a red flag Hermione tries to convince Hagrid to change his lesson plans but he does not seemed worried Shay wishes the story would divulge more about how the wizards oppressed other magical beings and caused a lot of issues that are touched on but never really solved Lots of exposition in this chapter but more exciting chapters are coming!

    #117 George with a Knife | OOTP 19, The Lion and the Serpent

    Potter Revisited Episode #117 George with a Knife AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 19 "The Lion and the Serpent" We hate Umbridge so so much Harry is feeling so good about the work he is doing in the DA Hermione creates a way for Harry to relay DA meeting dates secretly which is really cool It seems wrong that Hogwarts doesn't encourage students to be friends with others outside their house Confirmation that Hermione was almost put in Ravenclaw Would Ravenclaw been a better fit for Hermione, especially at the beginning of the series? Hermione using the Death Eater dark marks for inspiration shows how lucky we are that she is on the good side Minerva's dedication to ensuring the Gryffindor Quidditch team wins is admirable Snape is not putting a stop to the Slytherin's cursing members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, +1 Sucks Point Harry is used to the ridicule and attacks from the Slytherin's before a Quidditch match but poor Ron is not handling it well Ron needs to remember he has punched Malfoy before and he can do it again Luna's Gryffindor Hat is so cool! Luna is obviously very creative and very talented with magic Tori recalls her fangirl moment when Hermione kisses Ron for good luck Malfoy has made badges for the Slytherin's to wear - very foreboding Who is making all these badges for Draco? Tori hates the badges, Malfoy and the fact he is a nepo baby Crabbe and Goyle have made the Slytherin team as beaters, goon Quidditch at its finest We have missed Lee Jordan's commentary Tori struggles reading the Quidditch game, and feels so bad for Ron Draco appears to have written and taught all the Slytherin's a terrible song about Ron to sing during the game What song makes you want to die of embarrassment more, Ginny's singing Valentine to Harry or the Weasley is our King song? Imagine if Draco applied himself to other tasks instead of harassing Harry and Ron Ron is not able to play well understandably, but Harry catches the snitch and is able to win the game for Gryffindor Draco cannot let this go and continues to say disgusting things about the Weasley's to Harry and the team George and Harry basically jump Malfoy, and it is deserved Shay thinks they should of waited to jump Malfoy when their were no witnesses Draco has gotten away with far too much, what he is saying is vile Tori goes back to all the times Malfoy was hit in the series and a new counter has been made! Talk Shit Get Hit will count all the times Draco gets hit (which he deserves) Is Hogwarts (and Dumbledore) partly responsible for why Draco is the way he is? Is Draco more emboldened in OOTP due to Lucius being in both Fudge's inner circle and Voldemort's? Was Draco surprised to be attacked? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes? George with a Knife is the new Harry with a Gun Would you trust the Weasley twins with a spoon? McGonagall is not happy with Harry and George and plans to punish them but Umbridge arrives to make this worse Umbridge is SO petty Umbridge confirms that she tried to stop the Gryffindor team from reforming because she has a vendetta against a fifteen year old Umbridge gives Harry, Fred and George a lifetime ban from Quidditch unjustly, and Fred wasn't even involved in the fight Tori hates Umbridge, and gives her +3 sucks points for being petty, being bias, being power-hungry and for being a huge bitch How does a lifelong ban even work? It seems wrong for Umbridge to confiscate Harry and the Twins brooms since they are their property that they paid for Harry needs a lawyer Umbridge gets another sucks point for the unfair Quidditch ban +1 Ron hasn't been seen since the game and comes back so sad and wanting to resign Harry has also had a terrible day and refuses to let Ron resign What would Oliver Wood have to say about Harry's lifelong Quidditch Ban? Hermione tries to cheer the boys up by letting them know that Hagrid is back Hagrid save us all!! Tori probably sweared more than Shay in this episode - a new record!

    #116 Teacher's Pet | OOTP 18, Dumbledore's Army

    Potter Revisited Episode #116 Teacher's Pet AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 18 "Dumbledore's Army" We issue a statement regarding the author's recent attacks against the Trans community. Potter Revisited does not condone the author's abhorrent views and continued attacks on the Trans community and offers our support - see links below for nonprofit resources Umbridge 100% attacked Hedwig and we give her another sucks point because who attacks an Owl? The Gryffindor Quidditch team is finally reinstated and Angelina believes McGonagall appealed to Dumbledore - Umbridge can pry her Quidditch team from her cold, dead hands! Shay is not here for practicing spells on poor frogs and birds Hermione is uncertain about the secret Defence group now that Sirius thinks its a great idea Harry tries to defend Sirius but he doesn't have the best track record of good plans Is Sirius living through Harry? Hermione thinks so Quidditch practice in the rain sounds awful - why did the use the charm to repel water after already wet? The Twins wish they could use their Skiving Snack Boxes to get out of practice but Angelina already knows about them Quidditch practice does not go well for anyone, especially poor Ron Harry's connection with Voldemort is growing - Harry is basically Voldy's mood ring Dumbledore really fumbled this year - Harry is encouraged to go to Dumbledore again but ignores it due to how Dumbledore has been treating him Harry falls asleep and wakes up to a surprise Dobby visit We love the image of Dobby wearing all of Hermione's knitted hats - too bad this couldn't be in the films Hermione's heart is in the right place but she is not helping the house elves by trying to trick them into being freed Poor Winky is still not coping well Dobby is able to provide Harry with a place for his defence group - the Room of Requirement Hermione is initially concerned about Dobby's find as he doesn't have the best track record either - but is sold once she knows that Dumbledore has used it The first DA meeting happens and Hermione cannot resist being a teacher's pet and adding some structure Ginny comes in with the best name for the group, but what are some other options? Harry teaches the group his signature spell - and they need the practice Harry and Cho have a few moments - their romance is slowly blooming Marietta is the worst friend to bring - why didn't Cho bring someone else It is such an abuse of power that Marietta feels she needs to be super aware of what she is doing at school or have it affect her mom's job at the Ministry because of Umbridge Cedric is the elephant in the room between Cho and Harry Snape Sucks count for Chapter 18: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 18: 1 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Links: Trans Lifeline https://translifeline.org/ The Trevor Project https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #115 Lawyer Hat, On | OOTP 17, Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four

    Potter Revisited Episode #115 Lawyer Hat, On AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 17 "Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four" Harry is finally feeling happy for once, too bad it doesn't last Shay envies the trio being able to do work out by a lake Umbridge has disbanded all the Hogwarts spot teams, clubs and societies - what a fun sucker They way Umbridge goes about this is so wrong, its such a power trip Whats up with no boys in the Girls Dorm, but Girls can get into the boys? Tori and Shay bring up different fanfic tropes regarding common rooms Hermione reveals how she cursed the list of names - we love morally grey Hermione but why bring poor Eloise Midgen into this It's so strange that the sports teams have been disbanded as if one isn't reinstated it messes with the whole house tournament and looks like favouritism for the other teams Hedwig turns up injured during History of Magic - we know Umbridge is behind this and it is a CRIME Binns is a dedicated prof, literally only there to talk about history who cares about students or their names Small Theastral foreshadowing from Grubbly-Plank Minnie G really has Harry's back here Sirius does not care for his safety or the impact him being caught would have on Harry Draco admits to being a Nepo Baby - snuggly saying the Slytherin Team got reinstated due to his father's connections Neville almost attacks Draco Umbridge is inspecting Snape's class, and we can't decide who we want to win Lots of foreshadowing in Umbridge's questioning of Snape regarding his history at Hogwarts and how many times he has applied to teach DADA Fred and George showcasing their Skiving Snack boxes by vomiting in the common room - kind of gross? Sirius was giving Harry the cold shoulder earlier but now he is super proud of Harry now that he is forming an illegal defence group Hermione now thinks the group is a bad idea based on how excited Sirius is about it - to be fair he doesn't have the best judgement Their conversation is cut by a familiar hand appearing in the fire moments after Sirius left Tori wonders what would of happened if Umbridge had caught Sirius when in the fire - could she have pulled him into her office or would Sirius have pulled her into Grimmauld Place? Floo as a communication method still doesn't really make sense to us Shay introduces Legal Corner where the covers the crimes of Umbridge in this chapter and the real life potential consequences of her actions So many crimes Harry really needs a lawyer at this point Umbridge is so terrible and this is only her getting started Snape Sucks count for Chapter 17: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 17: 2 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #114 I'll Have the Espresso Martini | OOTP 16, In The Hog's Head

    Potter Revisited Episode #114 I'll Have the Espresso Martini AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 16 "In The Hog's Head" Never order an Espresso Martini (or any drink) from the Hog's Head Hermione has kept to herself about her idea for Harry to teach DADA for two weeks - very impressive for her Harry is finally done his detentions with Umbridge but has a scar from her criminal methods, +1 sucks point Hermione has advanced to vanishing kittens - does McGonagall not feel weird about that? Harry feels comfortable teaching Ron and Hermione DADA, but not with other people like Hermione suggests, which is understandable Hermione's time management skills are impressive Harry is subconsciously planning lessons - he was meant to be a teacher Hermione is still in contact with Viktor Krum and Ron is losing his mind Is Ron aware yet of why he is jealous of Krum and his feelings for Hermione? Sirius is giving Harry the cold shoulder - grow up Sirius We love the trio experiencing their first dodgy pub together - a milestone moment Interesting that Alberforth Dumbledore runs a dodgy pub while Dumbledore runs a school Lots of people of different years and houses join in to hear from Harry which is great for him to see Dean Thomas comes despite Seamus' opinions on Harry and Dumbledore which is nice to see Hermione is Harry's PR rep and is doing her best Thank goodness for Susan Bones bringing up how powerful Harry is and really saving the day Fred and George are great moderators and really help keep the vibes positive and slyly manage the crowd It's great that Fred, George, Angelina and others are comfortable with Harry teaching them, despite them being older Why was Terry Boot in Dumbledore's office? Zacharias Smith is more annoying than we remembered - but each house has an annoying character Shay wonders if they should have done more to ensure the secrecy of the meeting and group Mundungus being the woman in the black veil is amazing It's interesting seeing Luna argue with Hermione, as generally everyone seems to go along with what Hermione says due to seeing her as very intelligent and smart and Hermione is not used to others challenging her like Luna It's good for Hermione's development and growth Morally Grey Hermione does not tell anyone she has cursed the parchment she has them sign as a fallback security measure and we love this side of her Hermione drops that Ginny has a boyfriend - good for her We love seeing evidence that Ginny and Hermione have their own separate friendship and share things they don't with Harry and Ron Cho couldn't stop looking at Harry during the meeting, and perhaps romance is in the air for them as well Snape Sucks count for Chapter 16: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 16: 1 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #113 The Problem is Real, the Solution is Trash | OOTP 15, The Hogwarts High Inquisitor

    Potter Revisited Episode #113 The Problem is Real, the Solution is Trash AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 15 "The Hogwarts High Inquisitor" Umbridge is named the Hogwarts High Inquisitor This really feels like government overreach, and bound to create friction when a colleague is evaluating fellow colleagues The Daily Prophet interviews Lucius Malfoy for the announcement who is definitely not biased at all Ron is so ready for McGonagall to destroy Umbridge and so are we Hermione has the annoying habit of wanting to know everyone's marks, and Shay thinks she was Hermione in school Umbridge is evaluating Trelawney in Divination and it does not go well +1 Sucks point for Umbridge asking Trelawney to predict something for her on the spot Interesting how Umbridge follows around Trelawney and takes control over the evaluation, yet she is more subdued in McGonagall and Flitwick's evaluations Hermione is kind of a badass when it comes to teachers she does not respect, like Umbridge Hermione has read the entire DADA textbook and tells Umbridge she does not agree with the overall thesis and Umbridge hates critical thinking +1 sucks point for Umbridge wasting the students time by reading the textbook in class and not being able to discuss the content Umbridge crashes out over the previous DADA teachers and Harry agrees that Quirrell was great except for the fact he had Voldemort on the back of his head Harry gets detention again but Quirrell having Voldemort on the back of his head is a fact, and surely was Ministry approved at the time Angelina and McGonagall tell Harry off for getting detention again Umbridge gets some karma as she was not prepared for Minerva McGonagall during her evaluation Umbridge tries so hard to get Grubbly-Plank to slag off Dumbledore but she is chill Hermione brings up the idea of Harry teaching them DADA as Umbridge is not going to work out Snape Sucks count for Chapter 15: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 15: 2 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #112 Parentified Children and Emotionally Stunted Adults | OOTP 14, Percy and Padfoot

    Potter Revisited Episode #112 Parentified Children and Emotionally Stunted Adults AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 14 "Percy and Padfoot" Everyone needs therapy in this series Harry and Cho finally are able to have a moment Harry's conversation with Cho is so important for his survivor's guilt Filch trying to read Harry's mail is shady and we know Umbridge is behind it Tori and Shay debate who Cho had feelings for first - Harry or Cedric Sirius has been outed as being in London - he really has no regard for his safety and how much Harry worries about it It would of been nice if Fred and George could of been more encouraging to Ron at his first Quidditch practice, knowing how insecure he is Draco and co have nothing better to do with their time so they crash the Gryffindor practice Percy's owl shows up in the Gryffindor common room - a bad omen? Percy's letter to Ron... is not great It's nice that Percy wants to congratuate Ron on being Prefect, but then doubling down on cutting out Harry... Was Percy persuaded to write this letter, as he urges Ron to confide in Umbridge about Harry Percy glosses over the estrangement with his family in this letter quite a bit It's got to be so hard for Harry to see this as Percy was someone he was close to for four years prior to this Shay thinks as a Slytherin, Ron should of pretended to cut Harry off and speak with Umbridge to find out what she was up to Sirius randomly pops up in the Gryffindor common room fire - despite the Ministry knowing he is in London Sirius gives the trio the lowdown on Umbridge - and how racist she is Fudge thinks that Dumbledore is training students for combat against the Ministry - is this dumb? Sirius has no regard for his safety or how much Harry and co worry about him - planning to turn up in Hogsmede?? Sirius saying that Harry isn't like his father feels like such a low blow and immature for Sirius Does Sirius have an idealized version of James he remembers? We think married, father James in wartime was a lot more responsible that teenage James Harry really has to parent Sirius which is so annoying.

    #111 Needlework | OOTP 13, Detention with Dolores

    Potter Revisited Episode #111 Needlework AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 13 "Detention with Dolores" Poor Harry, he has no safe space at the moment The propaganda machine is awful Hermione is right, how could Dumbledore let this happen? The concept of the Ministry restricting students performing magic that they need to practically demonstrate for their OWLs is so dumb Fred and George have gone ahead testing their products on students, and Ron is but in a difficult position as prefect Hermione threatening the twins with their biggest weakness: telling their mother Hermione leaves out handknit hats for the House Elves, putting trash on top in the hopes to free time - we get her intent but it isn't very ethical to trick them Could House Elves even be freed this way? This doesn't mean Ron should make fun of her knitting attempts! It's a process! The professors pushing how important their OWL exams are feels familiar to how High School teachers spoke about how serious University and College would be Minne G gives the students a very nice pep talk, where they could all get an O in Transfiguration if they work hard and have confidence in themselves - even Neville! Shay thinks they are exaggerating how much homework they have Grubbly-Plank is such a great teacher... sorry Hagrid Shay does not understand how the points system works at Hogwarts Harry needs to stop annoying Grubbly-Plank about Hagrid Luna lets Harry know he has her support, and Hermione picks a fight with her Why does Luna rub Hermione the wrong way? Angelina is channeling Oliver's intensity about Quidditch, we love that for her Angelina does not care Harry is being gaslight about Umbridge, she has the team to think about! Harry's detention with Umbridge is... a lot Psychological and physical torture to a minor in your care? Jail!!!! Harry does not have parents or an adequate guardian who can advocate for him, which Umbridge knows and takes advantage of If this happened to one of the Weasley kids, Molly would be walking up to the school to commit a crime Ron has made the Gryffindor Quidditch team! It's such a shame how insecure he is and how it affects his performance It's actually great that Angelina focused on picking not the best player, but the player she felt would mesh with the current team the best Harry doesn't tell Ron and Hermione what really happened during his detention, which is a shame Harry feels that Dumbledore only cares about his scar... which is probably true When Umbridge touches Harry, his scar hurts and he wants to talk to someone about this but feels like he can't Harry's support system is really being cut off Shay thinks a lot of this chapter is connected to needlework Snape Sucks count for Chapter 13: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 13: 1 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #110 Have a Biscuit | OOTP 12, Professor Umbridge

    Potter Revisited Episode #110 Have a Biscuit AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 12 "Professor Umbridge" Harry is not coping well with his peers thinking he is a liar, and is taking it out on Ron and Hermione The Twins are advertising for product testers which seems like a bit of a red flag Angelina Johnson is the new Griffindor Quidditch Captain - we love women in power It is smart for the twins to conduct some kind of market research and not just focus on what they like Being dormmates with the twins seems dangerous The Twins debated leaving school before their last year - is this something they could actually do? Ron and Harry think being an Aurror would be cool but Hermione is considering what she could do with SPEW after Hogwarts It is crazy that they need to consider their futures at 15 Cho approaches Harry but Ron ruins their moment by confronting her about her Quidditch Team Harry tries his best to make his potion but Snape won't even let him turn it in despite it not even being the worst in the class - +1 Snape Sucks point Potions seems very similar to baking - everything needs to be very exact Shay wonders if Snape is being harder on Harry now to prepare him for what is to come. Tori thinks he's just a dick Dream analysis would be cool to learn, Harry and Ron are haters The trio attend the first DADA lesson with Umbridge, and she treats the class like they are a lot younger and comes off very condescending What are Umbridge's qualifications for teaching anyway? The other professors seem to have some real life experience or expertise in their fields Umbridge reveals the new course aims, and they kids are not going to be learning defensive magic, only the theory Having students use class time to read a textbook is such a waste of time When the students complain about not being taught magic (valid), Umbridge decides it is a good idea to slander their previous teachers, and calls Lupin a "half-breed" - so disgusting to to, especially in front of the students. +1 sucks point We love Dean standing up for Lupin, and the fact that Imposter Moody was actually a good teacher despite being a criminal Pavarti brings up not learning spells during an important exam year - not everyone learns through theory and if this was a normal school year we could see parents being upset Harry calls out Umbridge for not learning defensive magic when Voldemort is back Umbridge gaslights Harry so hard we have whiplash Umbrige telling student to come talk to her if people are speaking about Voldemort and that she is their friend is such a red flag. Adults - especially teachers - should not be friends with students. +1 Sucks point Its so hard for Harry to hear how the Ministry stance disrespects Cedric - saying his death is an accident rather than the fact he was murdered in cold blood Harry gets sent to McGonagall and she has one of the best lines in the series "have a biscuit, Potter" we stan Its so interesting seeing this from Minnie G as she is one of the more proper and strict teachers in the series Its really good that Minerva gives Harry this lesson of having to look at the bigger picture - what is happening to him is not right in any regard but he needs to consider the endgame rather than yelling that he is right to everyone who disagrees with him Snape Sucks count for Chapter 12: 1 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 12: 2 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #109 Make Hogwarts Great Again | OOTP 11, The Sorting Hat's New Song

    Potter Revisited Episode #109 Make Hogwarts Great Again AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 11 "The Sorting Hat's New Song" It is such an odd time to be rereading OOTP with its themes of government overreach Harry sees the Thestrals pulling the carriages when Ron doesn't and is starting to think he is losing it since Luna can see them too Harry is bottling up a lot of feelings, thoughts and emotions which isn't healthy Luna says Hagrid is a bad teacher and tbh, she isn't wrong. Ginny, Ron and Harry have a biased view This is one of the only times where Harry is starting the year with people talking about him negatively Harry notes that the new person at the staff table is the witch from his Ministry Hearing - while Hermione instantly infers that Umbridge is the new DADA teacher The Sorting Hat has a new song that is very different from his usual - explaining the different houses and their preferred traits This song goes into some Founders lore including rifts in friendships, ego clouding judgement and if sorting is actually a good thing and issues a warning that Hogwarts is in danger Shay has some issues with how the hat generalizes the houses, such as Slytherin's and Hufflepuff's Dumbledore is scandalously interrupted by Umbridge who gives a weird speech Umbridge gives off the vibe that she has never spoken to a real child before and comes off very condescending Children should not be friends with teachers / adults, Umbridge!!! Ron and Hermione quickly realize they have Prefect Duties at the end of the feast to attend to Is Ron acting odd about his badge because he feels he doesn't deserve it, or that he doesn't want to rub it in Harry's face that he got it Or is it more about not wanting to be like Percy, who abandoned the family? Neville is so excited that he knows the password and will be able to remember it Harry is surprised and angry that Seamus' mom doesn't believe him and Dumbledore, and how Seamus is fishing for information on how Cedric died Dean brings up that is parents don't know what has happened because he hasn't told them - does Hogwarts not inform parents, especially muggle parents? Death of a student would be a big thing to keep hidden We love Ron standing up for Harry. He would throw down if needed Neville's quiet support of Harry is so nice Harry has people on his side, but is is struggling with having people he has known for years turn against him which is hard Snape Sucks count for Chapter 11: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #108 Very Right and Very Wrong | OOTP 10, Luna Lovegood

    Potter Revisited Episode #108 Very Right and Very Wrong AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 10 "Luna Lovegood" Harry has some odd dreams after the party from the end of last chapter It is smart of Moody to make sure Harry has a guard for his return to Hogwarts Shay finds it odd Harry doesn't have a guard for the train We love the chaos of the days preparing to leave for Hogwarts Fred and George knock Ginny down the stairs in the chaos Sirius decides to come to Kings Cross as a dog, and Mrs Weasley doesn't care anymore Lupin says goodbye by giving Harry and co a handshake - is this a british thing? Ron and Hermione have to go to to the Prefects carriage and Harry is sad about traveling without Ron Thank god for Ginny taking pity on Harry as she likely has her own friends she could be sitting with Harry thinking lowly of Neville makes Shay mad We are finally introduced to Luna Lovegood as we love her Luna is much more eccentric in the books but she is very aware of how she is perceived but will not edit herself to appease people which is nice to see Neville got a rare plant as a gift from his great uncle, and it is so nice to see Neville's interests appreciated by someone in his family Shay thinks that Luna and Neville make a good couple Neville's attempt to show off his plants powers goes poorly when Cho Chang seems Harry and co covered in stinky plant sap Hermione reveals that Malfoy and Pansy are Slytherin prefects and seems very put out by Pansy being selected rather than Malfoy Shay is very upset about Malfoy being made prefect and for the first time ever - is giving Snape +1 sucks point for it!!! Harry borrows The Quibbler from Luna and finds an interesting article about Sirius - as adults we can appreciate how funny this is a lot more The Quibbler seems like a satire magazine except that they belief these opinions are true To be fair to the Quibbler, they do proper interviews and back up their opinions with some evidence unlike Rita Skeeter Hermione accidentally insults Luna - They are both such contrasting characters, like foils of each other which make their interactions so fun and interesting. They really are the Sully and Mulder of Hogwarts. Hermione uses logic and evidence to back her opinions, where Luna has faith and belief Malfoy comes right on schedule to bully Harry as usual - but Harry can't really be bothered by Malfoy's typical schoolyard insults after what he has been through in GoF Harry is very worried when he sees Hagrid is not guiding the first years to Hogwarts Harry comes face to face with a Thestral - which is he now able to see pulling the carriages for the first time Harry being able to see them now is likely that he witnessed and processed that Cedric died in front of him, and he wasn't able to do that as an infant for his parents or could it be that he was wearing glasses when he saw Cedric die and wasn't when he was a baby? Malfoy implies he knows about Sirius' dog disguise - Harry is now very concerned about the risk Sirius took Why do they have the Thestrals pulling the carriages at Hogwarts? Could it be to spot students that may need more support? We love how Luna seems to be presented as nerodivergent and what it meant to us growing up Snape Sucks count for Chapter 10: 1 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #107 Ron Weasley, The Chosen One | OOTP 9, The Woes of Mrs Weasley

    Potter Revisited Episode #107 Ron Weasley, The Chosen One AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 9 "The Woes of Mrs Weasley" Tori feels the need to stick up for Ron in this chapter Harry is cleared of all charges, and Dumbledore dips without even telling Arthur what happened Percy and Arthur ignore each other Harry and Arthur spot Lucius speaking with Cornelius and Lucius is very comfortable with his position as his goads Harry Patronus Potter is actually a great nickname We can't wait for Lucius to be in jail by the end of OOTP - what he deserves The "He got off" chant is so fun Everyone is happy Harry got off, except for Sirius It is a bit immature for Sirius to be visibly upset Harry won't be an outcast with him, but we can understand why he is feeling down being suck in Grimmauld Place The kids are back to cleaning up Grimmauld Place, and Hermione thinks a clean of Gryffindor Tower would be a great idea for SPEW We love how dedicated Hermione is to SPEW despite how Ron and Harry treat it Why was the booklist sent out the LAST day of the holidays? Ron and Hermione are made Gryffindor prefects and Harry isn't sure how to feel Poor Ron, everyone says how they expected Harry to get the badge Mrs Weasley is there to praise Ron, which is probably good for her to have some good news to focus on Ron has matured from GOF and doesn't take out any hard feelings about how everyone treats him getting the badge out on Harry Its good for Harry (and Ron) for Harry not to get something that Ron does Harry is fine with not being prefect after finding out his dad wasn't one Moody shows Harry an old Order photo which he thinks is cool but really brings the party mood down Moody thinks Alberforth Dumbledore is a strange guy, which says something Harry stumbles across Molly trying to get rid of the Boggart which shows members of the Weasleys dead Shay thought Ron might of really been dead for a moment when reading as a kid This is some dark foreshadowing to a Weasley Death The Twins are shown dead together, showing Molly couldn't imagine them being separated by death - we are not ready to lose Fred Shay has issue with how Lupin says he would look after Ron and Ginny if Molly and Arthur died Shay is back to not being a Dumbledore fan Tori takes issue with Dumbledore saying later that he felt Harry had too much going on to be prefect - Ron deserves better than being a sub-in Tori explains why she feels Ron is the best choice for Gryffindor prefect, and Shay discusses if Neville could of been an option Snape Sucks count for Chapter 9: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #106 I Set the Vibe | OOTP 8, The Hearing

    Potter Revisited Episode #105 Department of Injustice AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 7 "The Ministry of Magic" Harry entering the room alone and realizing he is in the room where he saw the death eater trials is spooky Does the Ministry assume Harry traveled to London from Surrey? Surely he should be pardoned for being late do the the quick location and time change - especially since he is a minor who cannot use the quicker transportation methods Harry notices Percy, but Percy ignores him What are Fudge and Umbridge's credentials to be interrogators in a criminal hearing? This feels like the Prime Minister asking you questions about a crime they think you committed as a minor Fudge has an agenda for this hearing and how he wants it to go Dumbledore makes his dramatic entrance into the hearing Shay loves this version of Dumbledore - alert the press! The way Dumbledore comes in, acts very calm and assertive totally undermines Fudge and his control over the hearing Why is it such a big deal that Harry did magic in front of a Muggle when the Muggle is Dudley, who already knows about magic? Madame Bones being so in shock and impressed about Harry being able to produce a patronus is so great, we stan Fudge making a joke using Bagman's gambling addiction is in such poor taste and completely inappropriate for the situation Dumbledore brings up the Charter of Rights - shouldn't Harry been aware of this before the hearing so he wasn't steamrolled by the Minister of Magic who has a vendetta against him? Mrs Figg is brought in as a witness, and it shows how much care the Ministry has in Squibs as they have no record of her We are introduced to Umbridge and prepare for the awfulness coming our way Umbridge is such an different villain compared to Voldemort in the series Fudge brining up other past incidents of Harry shows he is grasping at straws, and how corrupt he is when he says "laws can be changed" Dumbledore dips as soon as Harry is cleared, and Tori doesn't understand Shay's Amanda Show reference Shay discusses Madam Bones and how she would make a great surrogate mom figure for Harry in addition to Molly... and Tori breaks the news that she dies Snape Sucks count for Chapter 7: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    Potter Revisited Episode #105 Department of Injustice AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 7 "The Ministry of Magic" Harry is trying to get ready for his important hearing and the portrait in his room is laughing at him getting dressed Couldn't they have found Harry a better outfit for his important hearing or better prepare him? We get a small hint to Scrimgeour, who plays a big role in HBP Harry's original hearing was just supposed to be him and Amelia Bones - crazy how it escalates Harry commutes the muggle way with Arthur to the ministry which brings back some great and not great commuting memories Shay wonders if the telephone box entrance to the Ministry is too close to Doctor Who Harry internally judging the Ministry's appearance and location when he just sees the scummy street and telephone box is great Shay feels Harry should donate the money first to get good karma for his hearing Mr Weasley's interactions with other members of the ministry do a great job at showing the kind of person he is - he is friendly and knows lots of people from many different departments We debate why Eric the Security Guard seems to want to hold Harry back Would you take a slide if it was at your office? Are you able to demand replies from the ministry memos like Harry uses Hedwig to demand responses to his letters? We get a small glimpse into the Aurror department Arthur's department office really shows the lack of respect the Ministry has for it and muggle relations in general Shay wonders if Arthur is really qualified for his job despite his passion for it Harry's meeting place and time gets changed at the last minute - Fudge has it out for him. This wouldn't fly IRL There is also a small introduction of Bode who comes into play later in OOTP Harry is shocked that he is supposed to attend the hearing alone - shouldn't he have some kind of advocate as he is a minor? Maybe McGonagall or Dumbledore as they can represent the school Shay lists off all the things that should of been done so Harry was properly prepared for this hearing We touch on the prejudice, racism, propaganda and other elements going on at the Ministry We discuss some of the most fun sounding departments and jobs at the Ministry are Snape Sucks count for Chapter 7: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    Potter Revisited Episode #104 His Family Tree is a Circle AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 6 "The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black" Molly tries to send the kids to bed and put a stop to them talking about the Voldemort info dump they just got Shay thinks the portraits in the bedrooms that can speak and see you are creepy The twins apparating on Ron's knees is such a funny image Fred thinking the weapon Sirius mention would be kept at Hogwarts is a strong theory Love that George recognizes how powerful Ginny is - we are really starting to develop her character Is Harry's odd dream about weapons as creatures PTSD from the skrewts? Sirius is keeping Buckbeak in his mother's old room- we love a petty king There is some forced politeness between Molly and Sirius after their confrontation from last night - makes it a bit awkward Molly is using Gilderoy Lockhart's book for getting rid of the doxies - does she know he was a fraud? Fred and George fill Harry in on their joke shop plans which have taken off quite a bit since the end of GoF George fits a lot of stuff in his pockets - how are we still battling small pockets for women in 2026? Tori thinks back to 2016 skinny jeans and little has changed Mundugus tries to stash stolen goods at Grimmauld Place - not on Molly's watch We are introduced to Kreacher the House Elf - who is a lot different than Dobby Sirius does not treat Kreacher well - could it be he is the last living reminder of the trauma he faced living at Grimmauld Place? Sirius shows Harry the family tapestry and how he was disowned at 16 Shay notes how Sirius' family tree is basically a circle with all the inbreeding Does Sirius running away at 16 have anything to do with the "prank" he played on Snape around the same age? Sirius is obviously not doing well emotionally and mentally being back at Grimmauld Place We learn about Sirius' brother Regulus - lots of foreshadowing Harry forgot he still needs to attend the hearing at the Ministry Why does Harry not have an advocate or a lawyer for this hearing? Would Dumbledore actually allow Harry to stay at Grimmauld Place with Sirius if he was expelled? The locket horcrux is mentioned so casually within a number of items they find in the drawing room McGonagall in muggle clothing is unnatural Despite being with friends and his support system, Harry is still not confiding in anyone Dumbledore comes to Grimmauld Place but doesn't see Harry at all Snape Sucks count for Chapter 6: 0 Email any thoughts, questions, FEELINGS or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

We agree with Molly, no smoking at the dinner table Mundungus Does Sirius feel a camaraderie with Mundugus? We see another side to Sirius - he seems more bitter and reckless than GoF Sirius Sirius and Snape are still at odds - that forced handshake can't undo years of loathing, Dumbledore The Twins are obsessed with saving time with magic Harry is finally given the opportunity to ask some questions Molly and Sirius have some real tension Thank God Lupin is around to defuse the situation between Molly and Sirius Shay thinks it was irresponsible for James and Lily to name just Sirius Godfather of Harry Is Molly upset because Sirius has the "authority" over Harry's wellbeing since he is Godfather Fudge is a true evil politician The weapon being the prophecy - should Harry have been aware of this earlier so it couldn't be used against him?

    #102 House Hunters International | OOTP 4 Number 12, Grimmauld Place

    Potter Revisited Episode #102 House Hunters International AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 4 "Number 12, Grimmauld Place" Please forgive Tori's voice as she is getting over the flu We are back to discussing OOTP in 2026! We finally get our introduction to Grimmauld Place The way access to Grimmauld place is revealed to Harry seems similar to the magic of the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts Grimmauld Place definitely gives of some particular vibes which Shay discusses as if we are in an episode of House Hunters International Shay loves hallways and closed living Mrs Weasley seems stressed CAPS LOCK Harry makes an appearance Is Harry really angry at Ron and Hermione, or just taking out his anger on them? Ron and Hermione are good friends to allow Harry to take his anger out on them and not hold it against him The Twins can apparate now and have great instincts on defusing the tension Harry brings Ginny also appears and interacts quite normally with Harry for the first time We are looking forward to Ginny's transition from younger sister to an actual character Bill is a highly respected older sibling Fred spills the tea about Bill and Fleur Both Bill and Charlie have joined the order to help find and recruit members, but what about Percy? Percy had a catastrophic falling out with Mr Weasley and his family - has this been building for a while? We understand Percy was wrong about Dumbledore and Harry, however we sympathize with him on his family not respecting or valuing his interests/ambitions Does Percy's high ambition stem from his father not having more (according to Percy) and him viewing that as a character flaw? Does Percy have some jealousy on how Harry fits into his family compared to himself? Harry is being slandered in the press again Would Sirius actually allow Snape to stay for dinner? We are introduced to Sirius' mother in the form of a screaming lifesize portrait that cannot be removed. Terrible person, but we respect the level of pettiness. We are looking forward to the next few chapters set in Grimmauld place!

    #101 Dumbledore, You Egotistical Nut | OOTP 3, The Advanced Guard

    Potter Revisited Episode #101 Dumbledore, You Egotistical Nut AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 3 "The Advanced Guard" This chapter is a lot more exposition and transitional than the previous two chapters that had lots of action and foreshadowing Shay does not approve of how rude Harry is to Hedwig Hedwig is the true MVP though Harry is really going through the symptoms of bad mental health right now Moody as Lupin ask Harry a question he would only know - we decide to ask each other the same The advanced guard has come to spring Harry free with some familiar faces - Lupin and Moody - and some new faces It interesting the way this real Mad Eye Moody is reintroduced to Harry and the readers - they don't really focus on it too much Lupin is back and we are so excited We are introduced to Nymphadora Tonks who we are also very excited about Tonk's rouse to lure the Dursley's away from the house was genius. We discuss other ways it could have been done Quite a large group came to pick Harry up - was that wise? It was smart to include Lupin in the guard as Harry actually knows and trusts Lupin, but was everyone else necessary? Although at this point, Harry probably would have left with anyone It is great having a mid-twenties character like Tonks in the mix, as most characters in the series so far are adults or children Tonks reveals to Harry she is a Metamorphmagus and can change her appearance at will - we wish more lore was included about this We love how nosy the team is, looking through Petunia's kitchen It is decided that the best course of transportation is flying to headquarters - does this really seem like the most logical route? Shay and Tori debate if using a broom should count as Harry using magic It doesn't seem too much thought went into this and it is just a plot device to get Harry to Number 12 Grimmauld Place They just land in the middle of a muggle courtyard in London and no one notices? Moody has Dumbledore's Deluminator - is this foreshadowing to this being important in DH? Dumbledore - as secret keeper - wrote down the location of headquarters - isn't that risky? All so he didn't need to see / be near Harry?

    #100 Even In a Fantasy World, The Legal System Still Sucks | OOTP 2, A Peck of Owls

    Potter Revisited Episode #100 Even In a Fantasy World, The Legal System Still Sucks AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 2 "A Peck of Owls" We 100 Episodes! Thank you all for listening! It is revealed that Mrs Figg is actually a Squib who has been watching over Harry for Dumbledore What is the deal with Mrs Figgs cats? Can she communicate with them? Dudley is such a brat Squibs are so isolated from the Wizarding World Why did Dumbledore not want Harry to know Mrs Figg new about magic once he was older? Dudley really changes between OOTP and DH for how he treats Harry Why does the first letter Harry receives from the Ministry say he is expelled from school, they are coming to destroy his wand, but tells him to also come for a disciplinary meeting later Signing off "hope you are well" to such a terrible letter is savage The Ministry is showing to be corrupt, not allowing due process for Harry Were certain death eaters in the Ministry influencing trying to get Harry's wand destroyed for Voldemort? Interesting to compare Harry in PoA thinking he is being arrested and planning to run away, and now in OOTP probably would be arrested and planning to run away Sirius and Arthur Weasleys letters are mostly the same, but impose a different reaction from Harry Harry needs to hire a lawyer What did Dudley experience during the dementor attack? Petunia references "that awful boy" which is fun foreshadowing to Snape and Lily's friendship reveal in DH Should the Dursley's have been informed that Voldemort had returned? Harry and Petunia share an interesting moment when she becomes vulnerable about Voldemort's return Vernon wants to through Harry out, but Petunia receives a Howler What did Dumbledore write in his letter to Petunia? Was he blackmailing her? Thank you all to have listened to any episodes of this Podcast!

    #99 The Roast of Ickle Diddykins | OOTP 1, Dudley Demented

    Potter Revisited Episode #99 The Roast of Ickle Diddykins AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 1 "Dudley Demented" CW: Discussion of Suicide, PTSD We are starting OOTP! And we are almost at 100 Episodes! Tori discusses some OOTP book facts including an alternate death for Sirius and Mr Weasley potentially being killed Tori and Shay discuss their memories reading this book Did Taylor Swift write Father Figure for Arthur Weasley? (Note this was recorded before the release of TLOAS) Tori found OOTP a bit hard to relate to at 11 years old but is looking forward to revisiting it as an adult This is the first book that doesn't overly recap Harry's experiences in the first chapter Is it a red flag that Dudley doesn't know who the prime minister is? Sassy Harry is still here and we are so thankful Mrs Figg is back Harry being left to deal with the trauma from GOF with little support is hard to read but also more relatable as an adult Why is Hermione at Headquarters with Ron? Is there a reason besides making Harry more isolated and feeling alone? Dumbledore really set Harry up to fail in OOTP and we are not letting him off the hook Harry roasting Dudley is so deserved Quite exciting for a first chapter to have some action with the dementor attack What does Dudley see and experience from the dementors? We end with the reveal that Mrs Figg knows about dementors.... and potentially magic?
