Potter Revisited Episode #120 Suspicious Danger Noodle AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 22 "St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries" Shay thinks this is the most annoying chapter when it comes to HP trivia  Harry is stressed about seeing Arthur Weasley be gravely injured but neither McGonagall or Dumbledore seem to understand the urgency at first  McGonagall takes Harry and Ron to see Dumbledore and shoos away Mrs Norris - does she repect Minne as a Professor or as a fellow cat?  This is the first time since the hearing that Harry has been face to face with Dumbledore  Dumbledore is avoiding looking at Harry but is also not looking at Ron or McGonagall when speaking which comes off as very rude Dumbledore plays around with a mysterious instrument which seems like something that would be in Professor Trelawney's classroom  "But in essence divided?" Could this be referring to Nagini being a Horcrux?  Dumbledore seems to know or quickly infer that Harry has seen this dream through the perspective of the snake   Poor Ron is pretty much left out in the dark  It's nice for Minerva to think of Molly because Dumbledore wasn't  Poor Molly, this is her worst nightmare coming true - Harry remembers her boggarts  Phineas Nigellus is the worst  What injuries can the portraits do to each other?  Is Phineas a security risk? Why is Umbridge spying on the children? Grow up  Dumbledore uses a portkey over the floo network to send Harry and the Weasley kids to Grimmauld Place - why are portkeys not as monitored as the floo network?  Harry feels intense rage and the urge to bite Dumbledore when they lock eyes for a moment - we know this is Voldemort coming through him but we wouldn't blame Harry for feeling this rage at Dumbledore. He is 100% justified  Kreacher gives the Weasley kids the worst welcome  Has Sirius just been drinking and not taking care of himself while alone at Grimmauld Place? Sirius tells Kreacher to get out, and this comes back later as Kreacher goes to the Malfoys Fred and George want answers from Harry, who feels like they blame him for what happened to Arthur  Intruders on Family Grief is a great way to explain how Sirius and Harry feel in this moment  Sirius is probably the worst person to be left in charge of the grieving weasley kids  Harry confides his worries about his dream to Sirius, who doesn't think it's anything to worry about if Dumbledore didn't say anything  Poor Harry is so scared and anxious about this dream and potentially hurting someone else he refuses to sleep - why didn't Dumbledore send a message to let Harry know it was safe?  St Mungo's is in an abandoned building that appears like an old run-down department store - reminds us of Sears or Zellers  It's too bad the film couldn't cover the St Mungo's location as it is very whismy and fun, seeing all the patients in the waiting room with their odd ailments  The Healer VS Doctor discourse is fun and shows how Wizards haven't really evolved in certain aspects due to having magic  Is the Welcome Witch breaking health privacy laws? Harry feels uncomfortable when Mrs Weasley insists he visits Arthur with the family  The Twins interrogate Arthur about his Order business right in the middle of the hospital ward - read the room!  Harry is encouraged to eavesdrop on Mr & Mrs Weasleys conversation with Mad Eye and Tonks by the Weasley kids, having earned the right by saving Mr Weasley's life  Molly says Dumbledore is very worried about Harry - then why doesn't he do something to actually help him? The Order believes that Harry is being possessed by Voldemort  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 22: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 22:  Talk Shit, Get Hit Counter: 4 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  [email protected] 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

Potter Revisited Episode #119 Emotional Range of a Teaspoon AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 21 "The Eye of the Snake" Harry and Ron need to get a better handle on their homework  Ron uses his Prefect badge to tell off people having fun and throwing snowballs at the Gryffindor Tower window - too bad it's the twins Hermione tries to get Hagrid to change his lesson plans so Umbridge won't throw him out, but Hagrid doesn't seem get how serious it is  Should Hagrid have more help planning lessons? Hagrid takes the students in the Forbidden Forest for their lesson and we finally learn what pulls the school carriages - Thestrals  Draco seems very scared to go into the forest. After everything he has done lately, Tori wishes something would eat him in there Does it make sense to teach a lesson about a creature that most students cannot see?  Hagrid is actually doing a great job at his lesson so far and is very knowledgable about Thestrals  It's interesting that there are magical creatures that have superstitious connotations like in the real world  Umbridge shows up in the forest for her inspection, too bad the Thestrals won't eat her Umbridge is deliberately speaking to Hagrid rudely and speaking over him, and about him to students during the lesson to obviously make him look incompetent, +1 sucks point  When Neville reveals that he can see the Thestrals, Umbridge straight up asks him who he saw die in front of his peers, not considering the trauma this event may of caused +1 sucks point   Neville being able to see the Thestrals as well as Harry shows another link between them, could be foreshadowing to the prophecy potentially being about Neville  Hermione is super mad at Umbridge and we are on her side It's Christmastime at Hogwarts but Shay is just starting to decorate for Halloween season in the real world  Peeves trying to strangle Ron with tinsel brings some whimsy to the season decorating  For the first time Harry wants to leave Hogwarts for Christmas  Hermione is supposed to be going skiing with her parents for Christmas, and Tori has skiing lessons trauma  Arthur Weasley must love having Hermione as a daughter in law in the future, think of all the muggle things she can show him  Ron forgest to tell Harry he is coming to the burrow for Christmas, such a classic teenage boy move At the last DA meeting of the term, Harry finds that Dobby has decorated the Room of Requirement with baubles of his face - iconic Dobby is head of the Harry Potter marketing department  Ginny has replaced Harry as the Gryffindor Seeker after his ban  Neville has improved so much with the DA lessons we love that for him  Cho is lingering at the end of the meeting and Harry just wants her to wish him Merry Christmas  Cho is upset over Cedric and Harry is doing his best to comfort her... which as a teenage boy isn't great  Poor Cho, she is really dealing with a lot of things  Harry and Cho have their very first kiss, very true to life and as awkward as you expect Harry returns to Ron and Hermione where they interrogate them over his kiss with Cho Hermione's exasperation of having to explain the feelings of teenage girls to teenage boys is so funny Hermione calls Ron out for having "the emotional range of a teaspoon" but is this really true? Harry is having real anxiety about his feelings about Cho, if she liked the kiss, and what expectations she will have from him going forward and if she'll ask about Cedric again  Hermione is writing a long letter to Krum - what do they write to each other about? Ron asks Harry what Hermione sees in Krum and poor guy, it's hard when the other person your crush speaks about is older and a famous athlete  Harry has a weird dream where he is obviously processing his feelings about Cho and his worries that she prefers Cedric  It's a nice touch with Harry hanging up baubles in the shape of Dobby's head  Harry has a dream through the eyes of Voldemort's snake, which foreshadows that Nagini is a Horcrux Snake Harry attacks poor Arthur Weasley before he is woken up by Ron  It must of been so hard for Ron to see Harry in such a state while Harry is also telling him is dad is very injured McGonagall is brought over and she thankfully believes Harry  We discuss the reports that the author originally intended for Arthur to die from his injuries in OOTP Snape Sucks count for Chapter 21: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 21: 2 Talk Shit, Get Hit Counter: 4 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  [email protected] 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

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!

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!

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  [email protected] 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

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  [email protected] 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 #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  [email protected] 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 #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  [email protected] 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 #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.  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 14: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 14: 2 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  [email protected] 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 #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  [email protected] 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 #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  [email protected] 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 #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  [email protected] 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 #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  [email protected] 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 #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  [email protected] 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 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  [email protected] 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
