Chapter 9 - The Woes of Mrs WeasleyʹWell, well, well… Patronus Potter,ʹ said Lucius Malfoy coolly.Q1 - What's the best nickname you ever got?Harry turned his moneybag upsidedown and emptied not just ten Galleons, but the whole contents into the pool.Q2 - How do you think Mr Weasley feels at this moment.Q3 - Do you think Sirius has a right to be upset?ʹWe were just wondering who set the Slinkhard book,ʹ said Fred conversationally. ʹBecause it means Dumbledoreʹs found a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher,ʹ said George.Q4 - Who do you think is going to be their Defense against the Dark Arts teacher?ʹWhatʹs up with you, Ron?ʹ asked Fred. Ron did not answer. Harry looked round. Ron was standing very still with his mouth slightly open, gaping at his letter from Hogwarts. ʹWhatʹs the matter?ʹ said Fred impatiently, moving around Ron to look over his shoulder at the parchment. Fredʹs mouth fell open, too. ʹPrefect?ʹ he said, staring incredulously at the letter. ʹPrefect?'Q5 - Should Ron have been made a Prefect?Ron held up his badge. Mrs Weasley let out a shriek just like Hermioneʹs. ʹI donʹt believe it! I donʹt believe it! Oh, Ron, how wonderful! A prefect! Thatʹs everyone in the family!ʹ ʹWhat are Fred and I, nextdoor neighbors?ʹ said George.Q6 - Ron wants a broom as a reward…do you think he'd be any good at quidditch?Q7 - Why is Harry so bummed he didn't get Prefect?Harry noticed that Ron kept moving his prefects badge around, first placing it on his bedside table, then putting it into his jeans pocket, then taking it out and lying it on his folded robes, as though to see the effect of the red on the black. Only when Fred and George dropped in and offered to attach it to his forehead with a Permanent Sticking Charm did he wrap it tenderly in his maroon socks and lock it in his trunk.Q8 - Have you ever not been chosen for something and been really bummed out?ʹOh, Alastor, I am glad youʹre here,ʹ said Mrs Weasley brightly, as Mad-Eye shrugged off his traveling cloak. ʹWeʹve been wanting to ask you for ages ‐ could you have a look in the writing desk in the drawing room and tell us whatʹs inside it? We havenʹt wanted to open it just in case itʹs something really nasty.ʹ ʹNo problem, Molly…ʹ Moodyʹs electric‐blue eye swiveled upwards and stared fixedly through the ceiling of the kitchen. ʹDrawing room…ʹ he growled, as the pupil contracted. ʹDesk in the corner? Yeah, I see it… yeah, itʹs a Boggart… want me to go up and get rid of it, Molly?ʹ Q9 - What do you think Moody sees?Q10 - Should Harry have been made a prefect?Q11 - Moody gives him a picture of the original order…who would you want a TV series about?ʹIʹm justʹ s ʹs so worried,ʹ she said, tears spilling out of her eyes again. ʹHalf the f‐ f ‐ familyʹs in the Order, itʹll b ‐ b ‐ be a miracle if we all come through this…and P ‐ P ‐ Percys not talking to us… what if something d‐d ‐ dreadful happens and weʹve never in ‐ in ‐ made it up with him? And whatʹs going to happen if Arthur and I get killed, whoʹs g ‐ g ‐ going to look after Ron and Ginny?ʹQ12 - Who do you think will die in the end of this book?Chapter 10 - Luna LovegoodQ1 - Was Sirius irresponsible for going with the group to the train station?The girl beside the window looked up. She had straggly, waist length, dirty blonde hair, very pale eyebrows and protuberant eyes that gave her a permanently surprised look. Harry knew at once why Neville had chosen to pass this compartment by. The girl gave off an aura of distinct dottiness. Perhaps it was the fact that she had stuck her wand behind her left ear for safekeeping, or that she had chosen to wear a necklace of Butterbeer corks, or that she was reading a magazine upside down. Her eyes ranged over Neville and came to rest on Harry. She nodded.Q2 - What are your first impressions of Luna?Harry knew that Nevilleʹs favorite subject was Herbology but for the life of him he could not see what he would want with this stunted little plant.Q3 - Is Harry lame for not liking plants?Rather pink in the face, she closed the door and departed. Harry slumped back in his seat and groaned. He would have liked Cho to discover him sitting with a group of very cool people laughing their heads off at a joke he had just told; he would not have chosen to be sitting with Neville and Loony Lovegood, clutching a toad and dripping in Stinksap.Q4 - Who do you think all of the characters will marry?Q5 - Out of all of the articles in the Quibbler, which are you flipping to first? (How Far Will Fudge Go To Gain Gringotts, Corruption in the Quidditch League: How the Tornados are Taking Control, Secrets of the Ancient Runes Revealed, Sirius Black, Villain or Victim)Q6 - Do you think Fudge has ever had a goblin cooked in a pie?ʹAnything good in there?ʹ asked Ron as Harry closed the magazine. ʹOf course not,ʹ said Hermione scathingly, before Harry could answer. The Quibblerʹs rubbish, everyone knows that.ʹ ʹExcuse me,ʹ said Luna; her voice had suddenly lost its dreamy quality. ʹMy fatherʹs the editor.ʹ Q7 - Ever been embarrassed like this?Q8 - Where's Hagrid?Harry felt utterly bewildered. The horse was there in front of him, gleaming solidly in the dim light issuing from the station windows behind them, vapour rising from its nostrils in the chilly night air. Yet, unless Ron was faking—and it was a very feeble joke if he was—Ron could not see it at all.Q9 - What are these creatures and why can only Harry and Luna see them?Chapter 11 - The Sorting Hat's New SongQ1 - Do we agree with Luna that Hagrid is a bad teacher?Thus the houses and their foundersRetained friendships firm and true.So Hogwarts worked in harmonyFor several happy years,But then discord crept among usFeeding on our faults and fears.The houses that, like pillars four,Had once held up our school,Now turned upon each other and, Divided, sought to rule. Q2 - Do you think it was just a parting of ways because of ideas that the founders disliked each other?And now the Sorting Hat is hereAnd you all know the score:I sort you into housesBecause that is what Iʹm for,But this year Iʹll go further,Listen closely to my song:Though condemned I am to split youStill I worry that itʹs wrong,Though / must fulfil my dutyAnd must quarter everv yearStill I wonder whether SortingMay not bring the end I fear.Oh, know the perils, read the signs,The warning history shows,For our Hogwarts is in dangerFrom external, deadly foesAnd we must unite inside herOr weʹll crumble from withinI have told you, I have warned you…Let the Sorting now beginQ3 - What do you think of the song?Q4 - How can the hat know the school is in danger if it's a hat?Q5 - What's a moment in your life where food had never tasted so good?ʹWe have had two changes in staffing this year. We are very pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly‐Plank, who will be taking Care of Magical Creatures lessons; we are also delighted to introduce Professor Umbridge, our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.ʹQ6 - What did you think of Umbridge's speech?ʹOut of order, am I?ʹ shouted Seamus, who in contrast with Ron was going pale. ʹYou believe all the rubbish heʹs come out with about You‐Know‐Who, do you, you reckon heʹs telling the truth?ʹ ʹYeah, I do!ʹ said Ron angrily.Q7 - What do you think of Seamus not coming back and Harry's response?Chapter 12 - Professor UmbridgeQ1 - Have you ever been a test subject?ʹBeen having a nice little chat with her about whether or not Iʹm a lying, attention seeking prat, have you?ʹ Harry said loudly. ʹNo,ʹ said Hermione calmly. ʹI told her to keep her big fat mouth shut about you, actually. And it would be quite nice if you stopped jumping down our throats, Harry, because in case you havenʹt noticed, Ron and I are on your side.ʹ There was a short pause. ʹSorry,ʹ said Harry in a low voice.Q2 - Is Hermione the best?"Anyway, it's a nightmare of a year, the fifth," said George. "If you care about exam results anyway. Fred and I managed to keep our peckers up somehow."Q3 - What career do you think Hermione will take?ʹHow would it be,ʹ she asked them coldly, as they left the classroom for break (Binns drifting away through the blackboard), ʹif I refused to lend you my notes this year?ʹ ʹWeʹd fail our OWL,ʹ said Ron. ʹIf you want that on your conscience, Hermione…ʹ Is that a Tornados badge?ʹ Ron demanded suddenly, pointing to the front of Choʹs robes, where a sky blue badge emblazoned with a double gold Tʹ was pinned. ʹYou donʹt support them, do you?ʹ ʹYeah, I do,ʹ said Cho. ʹHave you always supported them, or just since they started winning the league?ʹ said Ron, in what Harry considered an unnecessarily accusatory tone of voice.Q4 - Is Ron a moron?Q5 - Do you think Harry and Cho will get together?Q6 - Which class would you want to attend during Harry's first day?Q7 - What's your first impression of Umbridge?Q8 - Was Harry smart to talk back to Umbridge?Q9 - What do you think the detention will be?ʹWell?ʹ said Professor McGonagall, rounding on him. ʹIs this true?ʹ ʹIs what true?ʹ Harry asked, rather more aggressively than he had intended. ʹProfessor?ʹ he added, in an attempt to sound more polite. ʹIs it true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge?ʹ ʹYes,ʹ said Harry. ʹYou called her a liar?ʹ ʹYes.ʹ ʹYou told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back?ʹ ʹYes.ʹ Professor McGonagall sat down behind her desk, watching Harry closely. Then she said, ʹHave a biscuit, Potter.ʹ Q10 - Thoughts on McGonagall and her warning?

Chapter 14 - Snape's GrudgeQ1 - What should the procedure be after Sirius Black has been caught sneaking into Hogwarts again?Q2 - Why hadn't Sirius killed Ron and then gone to Harry?“But I gotta tell yeh, I thought you two'd value yer friend more'n broomsticks or rats. Tha's all.”Ron had to hold onto the fence to keep himself standing, he was laughing so hard.Q3 - What is the hardest you have ever laughed?“So, everyone from the Minister of Magic downwards has been trying to keep famous Harry Potter safe from Sirius Black. But famous Harry Potter is a law unto himself. Let the ordinary people worry about his safety! Famous Harry Potter goes where he wants to, with no thought for the consequences.”Q4 - Does Snape have a point about Harry here?“I told you to shut up about my dad!” Harry yelled. “I know the truth, all right? He saved your life! Dumbledore told me! You wouldn't even be here if it weren't for my dad!” Snapes sallow skin had gone the colour of sour milk. “And did the Headmaster tell you the circumstances in which your father saved my life?” he whispered. “Or did he consider the details too unpleasant for precious Potter's delicate ears?”Q5 - What do you think of Snape and James Potter?Q6 - Who do you think made the Marauders Map?Your parents gave their lives to keep you alive, Harry. A poor way to repay them — by gambling their sacrifice for a bag of magic tricks.”Chapter 15 - The Quidditch Final“There'll be an appeal, though, there always is. Only I can't see any hope…nothing will have changed.” “Yeah it will,” said Ron fiercely. “You won't have to do all the work alone this time, Hermione. I'll help.” Hermione flung her arms around Ron's neck and broke down completely. Ron, looking quite terrified, patted her very awkwardly on the top of the head. Finally, Hermione drew away.Q1 - Do you think Ron and Hermione or Harry and Hermione are a better couple?Harry and Ron both made furious moves toward Malfoy, but Hermione got there first — SMACK! She had slapped Malfoy around the face with all the strength she could muster.Q2 - How do we like aggressive Hermione?“Fine!” she repeated swinging the bag over her shoulder and almost knocking Ron off his chair, “I give up! I'm leaving!” And to the whole class's amazement, Hermione strode over to the trapdoor, kicked it open, and climbed down the ladder out of sight.PREDICTION - ONE WILL LEAVE THE NUMBER FOREVER!Q3 - What do you think is the deal with crookshanks and the grim?The Gryffindor crowd were screaming themselves hoarse — Gryffindor were sixty points in the lead, and if Harry caught the snitch now, the cup was theirs.Q4 - How bad of a seeker is Malfoy?Q5 - Do you guys like quidditch now?Chapter 16 - Professor Trelawney's PredictionEven Fred and George Weasley had been spotted working.Q1 - What do you think differentiates between a charm and a spell?Their second from last exam, on Thursday morning, was Defense Against the Dark Arts. Professor Lupin had compiled the most unusual exam any of them had ever taken; a sort of obstacle course outside in the sun, where they had to wade across a deep padding pool containing a Grindylow, cross a series of potholes full of Red Caps, squish their way across a patch of marsh, ignoring the misleading directions from a Hinkypunk, then climb into an old trunk and battle with a new Boggart.Q2 - Which of professor Lupins final exam obstacles would trip you up?“Hermione!” said Lupin, startled. “What's the matter?” “P-P-Professor McGonagall!” Hermione gasped, pointing into the trunk. “Sh-she said I'd failed everything!”Q3 - If you had to make up a prediction, what would you say?Her eyes started to roll. Harry stood there in a panic. She looked as though she was about to have some sort of seizure. He hesitated, thinking of running to the hospital wing - and then Professor Trelawney spoke again, in the same harsh voice, quite unlike her own: “The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless, abandoned by his followers. His servant has been chained these twelve years. Tonight, before midnight, the servant will break free and set out to rejoin his master. The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant's aid, greater and more terrible than ever before. Tonight ... before midnight .. the servant will set out ... to rejoin … his master.”Q4 - What are your thoughts about this prediction?Q5 - Is Trelawney a true seer?Hermione didn't wait for the rest of his sentence; she strode across the room, pushed the fat lady's portrait open and vanished from sight.Q6 - Has Hermione changed at all from this book to the previous two?“Ron, I - I don't believe it - it's Scabbers!”There was a jumble of indistinct male voices, a silence and then, without warning, the unmistakable swish and thud of an ax.Chapter 17 - Cat, Rat, and DogBut before they could cover themselves again, before they could even catch their breath, they heard the soft pounding of gigantic paws. Something was bounding towards them out of the dark -an enormous, pale-eyed, jet-black dog. Harry reached for his wand, but too late the dog had made an enormous leap and its front paws hit him on the chest. He keeled over backwards in a whirl of hair; he felt its hot breath, saw inch-long teeth.Q1 - What is the worst injury you've had?Q2 - If your best friend was in the most haunted place in the world, would you go rescue them?Harry and Hermione dashed across to him. 'Ron- are you OK?' Where's the dog?' "Not a dog; Ron moaned. His teeth were gritted with pain. 'Harry, it's a trap -' What 'He's the dog…. he's an Animagus. Ron was staring over Harry's shoulder. Harry wheeled around. With a snap, the man in the shadows closed the door behind them. A mass of filthy, matted hair hung to his elbows. If eyes hadn't been shining out of the deep, dark sockets, he might have been a corpse. The waxy skin was stretched so tightly over the bones of his face, it looked like a skull. His yellow teeth were bared in a grin. It was Sirius black.Q3 - Did you suspect the dog was Sirius black?“If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us, too!” he said fiercely, though the effort of standing up had drained him of still more color, and he swayed slightly as he spoke.Q3 - How has Ron's character progressed over these books?Harry raised the wand. Now was the moment to do it. Now was the moment to avenge his mother and father. He was going to kill Black. He had to kill Black. This was his chance..Q4 - Is Harry's anger justified here? Q5 - Why is Black being so unclear here?Then lupin spoke, in an odd voice, a voice that shook with some suppressed emotion. “Where is he, Sirius?” Harry looked quickly at Lupin. He didn't understand what Lupin meant. Who was Lupin talking about? He turned to look at Black again. Black's face was quite expressionless. For a few seconds, he didn't move at all. Then, very slowly, he raised his empty hand, and pointed straight at Ron. Mystified, Harry glanced around at Ron, who looked bewildered. “But then .. Lupin muttered, staring at Black so intently it seemed he was trying to read his mind. Why hasn't he shown himself before now? Unless - Lupin's eyes suddenly widened, as though he was seeing something beyond Black, something none of the rest could see, unless he was the one ... unless you switched. without telling me?” Very slowly, his sunken gaze never leaving Lupin's face. Black nodded.Q6 - Do you understand what they are talking about here?Her voice wavering out of control, and all the time you've been his friend!' You're wrong,' said Lupin. I haven't been Sirius's friend for twelve years, but I am now ... let me explain. 'NO!' Hermione screamed, Harry, don't trust him, he's been helping Black get into the castle, he wants you dead too - he's a werewolf!” What's my rat got to do with anything?' "That's not a rat.' croaked Sirius Black suddenly. 'What d'you mean of course he's a rat - No, he's not;' said Lupin quietly. 'He's a wizard.' An Animagus, said Black, 'by the name of Peter Pettigrew.Chapter 18 - Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs“They've — got — a — right — to — know — everything.” Lupin panted, still trying to restrain Black. “Ron's kept him as a pet! There are parts of it even I don't understand! And Harry — you owe Harry the truth, Sirius!” Black stopped struggling, though his hollowed eyes were still fixed on Scabbers, who was clamped tightly under Ron's bitten, scratched and bleeding hands. “All right, then,” said Black, without taking his eyes off the rat. “Tell them whatever you like. But make it quick, Remus. I want to commit the murder I was imprisoned for…”Q1 - Who is right here? Lupin for waiting, or Black for wanting to kill Peter first?Q2 - Why didn't Scabbers try to escape earlier on?“Because ... because people would know if Peter Pettigrew had been an Animagus. We did Animagi in class with Professor McGonagall. And I looked them up when I did my homework - the Ministry keeps tabs on witches and wizards who can become animals; there's a register showing what animal they become, and their markings and things…and I went and looked Professor Mcgonagall up on the register, and there have only been seven Animagi this century, and pettigrews name wasn't on the list.”Q3 - I ask again, what would you be if you could be an Animagus?“It seemed impossible that I would be able to come to Hogwarts. Other parents weren't likely to want their children exposed to me. But then Dumbledore became Headmaster and he was sympathetic.”REDDIT - alphaWLFgang1 - So if we were looking at it from that perspective then I'd be a Nebelung Cat (according to Wizarding World) But, I mean if I had to choose I'd want to be something that could fly. So like an Eagle or maybe a Hippogriff would be sick too if that's even possible? I'd want to fly or swim! So maybe a shark? I'd want to be an animal that can either fly/swim under water. I'd want to fly so I can travel faster places and swim because I love the water.Q4 - Was Dumbledore right to let Lupin come to school?Q5 - Why does Hogwarts have such a rag-tag bunch of teachers?“Now, my three friends could hardly fail to notice that I disappeared once a month. I made up all sorts of stories. I told them my mother was ill, and that I had to go home to see her…I was terrified they would desert me the moment they found out what I was. But of course, they, like you, Hermione, worked out the truth and they didn't desert me at all. Instead they did something for me that would make my transformations the best times of my life. They became animagi.” Q6 - Do you know and understand how truly difficult it is to become an Animagus?Q7 - What was the craziest/most dangerous thing you've done in your life?Q8 - Have you ever put someone else's life in danger?“Sirius thought it would be — er — amusing, to tell Snape all he had to do was prod the knot on the tree-trunk with a long stick, and he'd be able to get in after me. Well, of course, Snape tried it — if he'd got as far as this house, he'd have met a fully grown werewolf — but your father, who'd heard what Sirius had done, went after Snape and pulled him back, at great risk to his life.”Q9 - Do you have any sympathy for Snape?

Chapter 5 - The DementorThey headed down to breakfast, where Mr Weasley was reading the front page of the Daily Prophet with a furrowed brow and Mrs Weasley was telling Hermione and Ginny about a Love Potion she made as a young girl. All three of them were rather giggly.Q1- Do you think Mrs Weasley gave the love potion to Mr Weasley?“Harry, I knew you were, well, made of stronger stuff than Fudge seems to think, and I'm obviously pleased that you're not scared, but —”“Harry, swear to me you won't go looking for Black.”... “Why would I go looking for someone who wants to kill me?” said Harry blankly.Q2 - Why does Mr Weasley give Harry this advice to not go looking for Black?Q3 - Would you ever want to visit the Honeydukes and the Shrieking Shack?Q4 - Why would a building be more haunted than other buildings?And then, from far away, he heard screaming, terrible, terrified, pleading screams. He wanted to help whoever it was, he tried to move his arm, but couldn't…a thick white fog was swirling around him, inside him.Q5 - What are your thoughts on Dementors?Q6 - What do you think Hermione and McGonagall talked about?“It is not the nature of a Dementor to understand pleading or excuses.”Q7 - Do you think Hagrid will be a good teacher?Harry climbed the spiral stairs with no thought in his head except how glad he was to be back. They reached their familiar, circular dormitory with its five four-poster beds and Harry, looking around, felt he was home at last.Chapter 6 - Talons and Tea Leaves“Dad had to go out to Azkaban one time, remember, Fred? And he said it was the worst place he'd ever been. He came back all weak and shaking…They suck the happiness out of a place, Dementors. Most of the prisoners go mad in there.”Q1 - What do you think of Dementors sucking the happiness out of a place?“How're you supposed to be in three classes at once?” “Don't be silly,” said Hermione shortly. “Of course I won't be in three classes at once.”Q2 - Do you think Hermione could handle the workload of three classes at once?Q3 - Would you want to take a Divination class?PREDICTION #1 - Nevilles Grandma is Ill.PREDICTION #2 - Parvati must beware a red-haired man.PREDICTION #3 - February will bring the flu…she will lose her voice.PREDICTION #4 - By Easter one of them will leave forever.PREDICTION #5 - Lavender's dread will happen Friday the sixteenth of October.PREDICTION #6 - Neville breaking the pink cup. HAPPENEDQ4 - What are your thoughts on Trelawney?When Harry and Ron had had their teacups filled, they went back to their table and tried to drink the scalding tea quickly.Q5 - Can you drink scalding hot tea/coffee?“Right, you've got a wonky sort of cross.” he said, consulting Unfogging the Future. “That means you're going to have ‘trials and suffering' — sorry about that — but there's a thing that could be the sun. Hang on, that means ‘great happiness' .. so you're going to suffer but be very happy…”PREDICTION #7 - Harry has a deadly enemy.PREDICTION #8 - The club…an attack.PREDICTION #9 - The skull…danger in his path.PREDICTION #10 - The grim…an omen of death.“You'll forgive me for saying so, my dear, but I perceive very little aura around you. Very little receptivity to the resonances of the future.”PREDICTION #11 - Neville will be late to the next class.He hardly heard what Professor McGonagall was telling them about Animagi (wizards who could transform at will into animals), and wasn't even watching when she transformed herself in front of their eyes into a tabby cat with spectacle markings around her eyes…”Really what's gotten into you all today? … Not that it matters, but that's the first time my transformation's not gotten applause from a class.”“There is no need to tell me any more, Miss Granger. Tell me, which of you will be dying this year?”“I shall not conceal from you that I have very little patience with it [Divination]. True Seers are very rare, and Professor Trelawney…”Q6 - Thoughts on McGonagall's thoughts on Trelawney?Q7 - What do you think about Animagi?Q8 - If you were part of the Magical World, would you be more like Ron or Hermione with superstitions and grims?Q9 - Should Hagrid have left a note with the students for how they should open their books?Q10 - Would you want to ride a broomstick or a Hippogriff?“No one?” said Hagrid with a pleading look. “I'll do it,” said Harry.Q11 - Is Hagrid a good teacher?Q12 - Is Sirius Black that serious that Hagrid is upset at the trio for visiting him in the dark?Chapter 7 - The Boggart in the WardrobeQ1 - Have you ever milked an injury?Q2 - Would you be good at potions?“Have you heard? Daily Prophet this morning — they reckon Sirius Black's been sighted…Not too far from here.”Q3 - Do you think the Ministry of Magic should have someone in the 911 Dispatch office? Or do you think they can bug certain words…like Sirius Black?“Of course, if it was me,” he said quietly, “I'd have done something before now. I wouldn't be staying in school like a good boy, I'd be out there looking for him.” “What are you talking about, Malfoy?” said Ron roughly. “Don't you know, Potter?”Q4 - What doesn't Harry know that Malfoy knows about Sirius Black?Q5 - What is wrong with Snape to be testing on Neville's toad?Q6 - How do you think Hermione is taking all these classes?“Good afternoon,” he said, “Would you please put all your books back in your bags. Today's will be a practical lesson. You will only need your wands.”…”when their old teacher brought pixies…” LONG LIVE LOCKHART!“I was hoping that Neville would assist me with the first stage of the operation,” he said, “and I am sure he will perform it admirably.”Q7 - What are your first thoughts on Lupin?Q8 - What would the Boggart take shape if you confronted it?

He didn't want Lupin to think he was a coward.Q4 - What is this potion that Snape gives Lupin?Q5 - How is fearing fear most wise?“He got very angry when she wouldn't let him in, you see.” Peeves flipped over, and grinned at Dumbledore from between his own legs. “Nasty tempers he's got, that Sirius Black.”Q6 - How good is the end of this chapter?!

Check out this laid back correspondence episode and be blown away by the opinions of our listeners. Main Discussion: It's a MuggleMail bag episode! Voicemails ask if the WWOHP theme park will adjust itself to accommodate the new TV series, a potential Cursed Child adaptation featuring the original trio, and an HP cartoon. More ideas for the HP TV series abound, with one listener asking how far the creators will stray from the look and feel of Hogwarts and surrounding areas. Will members of the HP movies be brought into new roles as a nod to their original performances? Who do we think would be most likely? One listener fan-casts the HP TV series for an actor from the Sandman series. Could the TV show flesh out the moments when Hermione and Ron learned that they would be attending Hogwarts? An eagle-eyed listener points out the use of the term 'Azkaban guards' disappears once we are introduced to Dementors. We hear a tragic story of school bullying where the school covered it up, and comparisons are made to Hogwarts The hosts reveal that double decker buses are not as prominent in the US as in the UK, in response to an email. And, the Sneakoscope was always right when Peter was around. Our latest "Legacy" E-mail from 2006 asks us if we think Draco and Harry will work together to defeat Voldemort.

Turn to Page 152, The Woes of Mrs. Weasley. Today's lesson is called Everyone In The Family The chapter begins with the aftermath of the trial. Harry is shocked, Dumbledore has fled, and the Wizengamot ignore Harry and Mr. Weasley (with a couple exceptions). Malloy and a fudge are seen talking together. The entire Order is relieved by a result they claim was a certainty. Hogwarts lists arrive, with a new book for Defense Against the Dark Arts, a post that was apparently difficult to fill. Ron is named Gryffindor prefect, as is Hermione, leaving Harry feeling odd. Sirius is gloomy as the calendar flips to Hogwarts, Moody gives Harry an old photo of the Order, and Harry finds Mrs. Weasley sobbing over the dead bodies of her children and Arthur - the forms of her Boggart and deepest fear.

"Yes, we are," said Mr Weasley. "Those are enchanted windows. Magical Maintenance decide what weather we'll get every day. We had two months of hurricanes last time they were angling for a pay rise ... Just round here, Harry." Q4 - What kind of weather would you have?Q5 - Do you find it odd that magical beings have small offices?Q6 - What do you think of JK's world building here?Chapter 8 - The HearingQ1 - What do you think of this trial so far?ʹInterrogators: Cornelius Oswald Fudge, Minister for Magic; Amelia Susan Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement; Dolores Jane Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary to the Minister. Court Scribe, Percy Ignatius Weasley ʹWitness for the defence, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, said a quiet voice from behind Harry, who turned his head so fast he cricked his neck.Q2 - How many times have you cricked your neck? Q3 - What do you think of Dumbledore's many middle names?ʹAh,ʹ said Fudge, who looked thoroughly disconcerted. ʹDumbledore. Yes. You ‐ —er—got our— er—message that the time and—er—place of the hearing had been changed, then?ʹ ʹI must have missed it,ʹ said Dumbledore cheerfully. ʹHowever, due to a lucky mistake I arrived at the Ministry three hours early, so no harm done.ʹThe witch with the monocle cut across him in a booming voice. ʹYou produced a fully‐fledged Patronus?ʹ ʹYes,ʹ said Harry, ʹbecause—' ʹA corporeal Patronus?ʹ ʹA—what?ʹ said Harry. ʹYour Patronus had a clearly defined form? I mean to say, it was more than vapour or smoke?ʹ ʹYes,ʹ said Harry, feeling both impatient and slightly desperate, ʹitʹs a stag, itʹs always a stag.ʹ ʹAlways?ʹ boomed Madam Bones. ʹYou have produced a Patronus before now?ʹ ʹYes,ʹ said Harry, ʹIʹve been doing it for over a year.ʹ ʹAnd you are fifteen years old?ʹ ʹYes, and—' ʹYou learned this at school?ʹ ʹYes, Professor Lupin taught me in my third year, because of the—' ʹImpressive,ʹ said Madam Bones, staring down at him, ʹa true Patronus at his age…very impressive indeed. Q4 - What do you think of the people present during this hearing? Bones, Umbridge, Fudge, Dumbledore, Percy?I reminded you on the night of the second of August. In your admirable haste to ensure that the law is upheld, you appear, inadvertently I am sure, to have overlooked a few laws yourself.ʹ ʹLaws can be changed,ʹ said Fudge savagely.Q5 - What do you think of the trial?Q6 - Why doesn't Dumbledore look at him?Chapter 9 - The Woes of Mrs WeasleyʹWell, well, well… Patronus Potter,ʹ said Lucius Malfoy coolly.Q1 - What's the best nickname you ever got?Harry turned his moneybag upsidedown and emptied not just ten Galleons, but the whole contents into the pool.Q2 - How do you think Mr Weasley feels at this moment.Q3 - Do you think Sirius has a right to be upset?ʹWe were just wondering who set the Slinkhard book,ʹ said Fred conversationally. ʹBecause it means Dumbledoreʹs found a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher,ʹ said George.Q4 - Who do you think is going to be their Defense against the Dark Arts teacher?ʹWhatʹs up with you, Ron?ʹ asked Fred. Ron did not answer. Harry looked round. Ron was standing very still with his mouth slightly open, gaping at his letter from Hogwarts. ʹWhatʹs the matter?ʹ said Fred impatiently, moving around Ron to look over his shoulder at the parchment. Fredʹs mouth fell open, too. ʹPrefect?ʹ he said, staring incredulously at the letter. ʹPrefect?'Q5 - Should Ron have been made a Prefect?Ron held up his badge. Mrs Weasley let out a shriek just like Hermioneʹs. ʹI donʹt believe it! I donʹt believe it! Oh, Ron, how wonderful! A prefect! Thatʹs everyone in the family!ʹ ʹWhat are Fred and I, nextdoor neighbors?ʹ said George.Q6 - Ron wants a broom as a reward…do you think he'd be any good at quidditch?Q7 - Why is Harry so bummed he didn't get Prefect?Harry noticed that Ron kept moving his prefects badge around, first placing it on his bedside table, then putting it into his jeans pocket, then taking it out and lying it on his folded robes, as though to see the effect of the red on the black. Only when Fred and George dropped in and offered to attach it to his forehead with a Permanent Sticking Charm did he wrap it tenderly in his maroon socks and lock it in his trunk.Q8 - Have you ever not been chosen for something and been really bummed out?ʹOh, Alastor, I am glad youʹre here,ʹ said Mrs Weasley brightly, as Mad-Eye shrugged off his traveling cloak. ʹWeʹve been wanting to ask you for ages ‐ could you have a look in the writing desk in the drawing room and tell us whatʹs inside it? We havenʹt wanted to open it just in case itʹs something really nasty.ʹ ʹNo problem, Molly…ʹ Moodyʹs electric‐blue eye swiveled upwards and stared fixedly through the ceiling of the kitchen. ʹDrawing room…ʹ he growled, as the pupil contracted. ʹDesk in the corner?

Professor Lupin had compiled the most unusual exam any of them had ever taken; a sort of obstacle course outside in the sun, where they had to wade across a deep padding pool containing a Grindylow, cross a series of potholes full of Red Caps, squish their way across a patch of marsh, ignoring the misleading directions from a Hinkypunk, then climb into an old trunk and battle with a new Boggart.Q2 - Which of professor Lupins final exam obstacles would trip you up?“Hermione!” said Lupin, startled. “What's the matter?” “P-P-Professor McGonagall!” Hermione gasped, pointing into the trunk. “Sh-she said I'd failed everything!”Q3 - If you had to make up a prediction, what would you say?Her eyes started to roll. Harry stood there in a panic. She looked as though she was about to have some sort of seizure. He hesitated, thinking of running to the hospital wing - and then Professor Trelawney spoke again, in the same harsh voice, quite unlike her own: “The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless, abandoned by his followers. His servant has been chained these twelve years. Tonight, before midnight, the servant will break free and set out to rejoin his master. The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant's aid, greater and more terrible than ever before. Tonight ... before midnight .. the servant will set out ... to rejoin … his master.”Q4 - What are your thoughts about this prediction?Q5 - Is Trelawney a true seer?Hermione didn't wait for the rest of his sentence; she strode across the room, pushed the fat lady's portrait open and vanished from sight.Q6 - Has Hermione changed at all from this book to the previous two?“Ron, I - I don't believe it - it's Scabbers!”There was a jumble of indistinct male voices, a silence and then, without warning, the unmistakable swish and thud of an ax.Chapter 17 - Cat, Rat, and DogBut before they could cover themselves again, before they could even catch their breath, they heard the soft pounding of gigantic paws. Something was bounding towards them out of the dark -an enormous, pale-eyed, jet-black dog. Harry reached for his wand, but too late the dog had made an enormous leap and its front paws hit him on the chest. He keeled over backwards in a whirl of hair; he felt its hot breath, saw inch-long teeth.Q1 - What is the worst injury you've had?Q2 - If your best friend was in the most haunted place in the world, would you go rescue them?Harry and Hermione dashed across to him. 'Ron- are you OK?' Where's the dog?' "Not a dog; Ron moaned. His teeth were gritted with pain. 'Harry, it's a trap -' What 'He's the dog…. he's an Animagus. Ron was staring over Harry's shoulder. Harry wheeled around. With a snap, the man in the shadows closed the door behind them. A mass of filthy, matted hair hung to his elbows. If eyes hadn't been shining out of the deep, dark sockets, he might have been a corpse. The waxy skin was stretched so tightly over the bones of his face, it looked like a skull. His yellow teeth were bared in a grin. It was Sirius black.Q3 - Did you suspect the dog was Sirius black?“If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us, too!” he said fiercely, though the effort of standing up had drained him of still more color, and he swayed slightly as he spoke.Q3 - How has Ron's character progressed over these books?Harry raised the wand. Now was the moment to do it. Now was the moment to avenge his mother and father. He was going to kill Black. He had to kill Black. This was his chance..Q4 - Is Harry's anger justified here? Q5 - Why is Black being so unclear here?Then lupin spoke, in an odd voice, a voice that shook with some suppressed emotion. “Where is he, Sirius?” Harry looked quickly at Lupin. He didn't understand what Lupin meant. Who was Lupin talking about? He turned to look at Black again. Black's face was quite expressionless. For a few seconds, he didn't move at all. Then, very slowly, he raised his empty hand, and pointed straight at Ron. Mystified, Harry glanced around at Ron, who looked bewildered. “But then .. Lupin muttered, staring at Black so intently it seemed he was trying to read his mind. Why hasn't he shown himself before now? Unless - Lupin's eyes suddenly widened, as though he was seeing something beyond Black, something none of the rest could see, unless he was the one ... unless you switched. without telling me?” Very slowly, his sunken gaze never leaving Lupin's face. Black nodded.Q6 - Do you understand what they are talking about here?Her voice wavering out of control, and all the time you've been his friend!' You're wrong,' said Lupin. I haven't been Sirius's friend for twelve years, but I am now ... let me explain. 'NO!' Hermione screamed, Harry, don't trust him, he's been helping Black get into the castle, he wants you dead too - he's a werewolf!” What's my rat got to do with anything?' "That's not a rat.' croaked Sirius Black suddenly. 'What d'you mean of course he's a rat - No, he's not;' said Lupin quietly. 'He's a wizard.' An Animagus, said Black, 'by the name of Peter Pettigrew.

He came back all weak and shaking…They suck the happiness out of a place, Dementors. Most of the prisoners go mad in there.”Q1 - What do you think of Dementors sucking the happiness out of a place?“How're you supposed to be in three classes at once?” “Don't be silly,” said Hermione shortly. “Of course, I won't be in three classes at once.”Q2 - Do you think Hermione could handle the workload of three classes at once?Q3 - Would you want to take a Divination class?PREDICTION #1 - Neville's Grandma is Ill.PREDICTION #2 - Parvati must beware a red-haired man.PREDICTION #3 - February will bring the flu…she will lose her voice.PREDICTION #4 - By Easter one of them will leave forever.PREDICTION #5 - Lavender's dread will happen Friday the sixteenth of October.PREDICTION #6 - Neville breaking the pink cup. HAPPENEDQ4 - What are your thoughts on Trelawney?When Harry and Ron had had their teacups filled, they went back to their table and tried to drink the scalding tea quickly.Q5 - Can you drink scalding hot tea/coffee?“Right, you've got a wonky sort of cross,” he said, consulting Unfogging the Future. “That means you're going to have ‘trials and suffering' — sorry about that — but there's a thing that could be the sun. Hang on, that means ‘great happiness' .. so you're going to suffer but be very happy…”PREDICTION #7 - Harry has a deadly enemy.PREDICTION #8 - The club…an attack.PREDICTION #9 - The skull…danger in his path.PREDICTION #10 - The grim…an omen of death.“You'll forgive me for saying so, my dear, but I perceive very little aura around you.

Or do you think they can bug certain words…like Sirius Black?“Of course, if it was me,” he said quietly, “I'd have done something before now. I wouldn't be staying in school like a good boy, I'd be out there looking for him.” “What are you talking about, Malfoy?” said Ron roughly. “Don't you know, Potter?”Q4 - What doesn't Harry know that Malfoy knows about Sirius Black?Q5 - What is wrong with Snape to be testing on Neville's toad?Q6 - How do you think Hermione is taking all these classes?“Good afternoon,” he said, “Would you please put all your books back in your bags.
