One which may have been doomed from the start (with Cho), and another which likely changes the course of Wizarding history (with Rita). Andrew, Eric, Laura, Micah, and Slug Club guest Katie dig in, because it's time for Chapter 25 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Welcome Slug Club member, Katie! The hosts wish to reassert their disavowal of J.K. Rowling for her role in making women less safe in the U.K. Please visit GLAAD's amazing page for links including FAQs, resources, and tips for allies. Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 25: The Beetle at Bay. MuggleCast last discussed this chapter on Episode 462! Harry's feelings toward his fellow students in light of the Azkaban breakout headlines have us once more feeling like we are living in the books today. The Ministry's control of information and issuance of propaganda, the extent which is confirmed in this chapter, is massive but not perfect. Some who look deeper are beginning to see the cracks in the facade. Umbridge's power grabs are becoming unenforceable. The hosts discuss how her main goal appears to be to frighten and dissuade dissenters, even among the staff. Harry and students are impressed by Neville's recent hard work in the D.A. This reminds us about when we made the "Neville Gets Swole" Spotify playlist, perfect for your summertime runs and workouts! Is Hermione single-handedly changing the course of the Wizarding world? We think so. Is there anything the students can/should be doing about Hagrid and his probation? Or is his behavior just too weird, and the students too buried in coursework? Ron has a fair idea, but Hermione shuts him down cold. We hold a memorial service for Ron's strategical aptitude subplot from Book 1. In what ways was "Madame Puddifoot's" NOT the perfect Valentine's spot, and whose fault is it that Harry and Cho's date is a disaster? Was it doomed from the start? Is Rita Skeeter looking for redemption, or just some hot goss? Odds & Ends asks why Ron, Fred or George do not seem to know about Antonin Dolohov's connection with their uncles, nor do they mention it. Most #RealTalk moment of the week? Hosts weigh in. Lynx Line: we asked our Patrons to submit a one-sentence headline sure to grab all of the attention.

Potter Revisited Episode #45 Teatime With Lupin AKA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 8 "The Flight of the Fat Lady" Everyone loves Lupin and DADA and we do too! Lupin seems like a great teacher Of Course the only ones that don't like Lupin are Malfoy & Co - is it only because he is obviously poor?  Snape, meanwhile is still taking out his feelings about Lupin on the students, especially Neville - +1 Snape Sucks  Shay thinks she would be like Parvarti and Lavender and visiting Trelawney at Lunch Harry really doesn't like Divination this early on - why doesn't he drop it and take something else? Oliver gives a Rudy-style pep talk to the team - it's his last chance to win the Quidditch cup before he graduates Ron mentions Scabbers is in his bag, and then Crookshanks attacks - the whole chance scene is very amusing to picture  Is Ron more mad at Hermione because of Crookshanks or that she won't take him seriously?  Is Hermione a good pet owner? Why isn't she controlling Crookshanks more?  The Trio see Lavender crying before class - she just got news her bunny died. She believes the prediction Trelawney made is real since it's the 16th of October Hermione tries to disprove the prediction could be real with logic, ignoring the fact that Lavender's pet is dead - why does Hermione always do this? Shay points out this could be the beginning of Lavender's crush on Ron, as he tells off Hermione in front of her. Tori, a Ron/Hermione shipper, isn't sure  Ron convinces Harry to ask McGonagall for permission to go to Hogsmede - and she obviously says no since it's against the rules  Dean had offered to forge Vernon's signature - why didn't Harry do this before going to McGonagall? Tori tells a story about the time she forged her Mom's signature in Grade 4 to avoid missing recess  Shay wonders if they keep the parents signature on file and would be able to detect a forgery by magic  Harry is missing out on Hogsmede and we feel bad - Percy does a terrible job at trying to cheer him up Lupin sees Harry walking around alone & invites him in for tea - we would love to have tea with Lupin! Harry figures out why Lupin stopped him from confronting the Dementor - he thought it would be Voldemort Snape comes to bring Lupin a potion - we discuss him seeing Lupin and Harry together in the office and imagining Lupin and James  Shay discusses the way Lupin speaks about Snape to Harry, which is very complimentary. Harry trying to convince Lupin that Snape is bad and likely poisoned the potion is funny, considering Lupin and Snape grew up together at school  How Ron and Hermione describe Hogsmede to Harry very much shows their interest - The first thing Hermione brings up is the post office and how it is organized by a colour coded system, and Ron brings up Honeydukes and all the sweets This is our first time fully seeing a Hogwarts Halloween feast as events have always prevented it - The Ghosts provide entertainment with Synchronized gliding and Nick reenacts his death - were Ghosts always the entertainment or is this new?  We discuss the twist ending - The Fat Lady has fled her frame, which has been slashed up. Sirius Black tried to break into Gryffindor tower How did Dumbledore appear on the scene so fast?  Shay wonders why Lupin didn't do anything - didn't say anything to Dumbledore regarding Sirius  It's interesting how Peeves speaks to Dumbledore compared to other professors  Snape Sucks total for Chapter 8: 1 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Fill our our Listener Survey here: https://forms.gle/QFEJNAEtQdzXLSBC7 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

A Hogsmeade weekend approaches! Will Harry get his permission slip signed by a stand-in guardian in time? This week we are joined by Slug Club guest Ashley as we discuss Chapter 8 of Prisoner of Azkaban, Flight of the Fat Lady! We discuss Snape's continued bad attitude, Lupin's secret, and whether Harry could've gotten more out of him during their unplanned tea time. Enjoy! Main Discussion: Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 8: Flight of the Fat Lady Welcome Slug Club guest Ashley! Host the show just like Ashley by joining us at Patreon.com/MuggleCast 7-Word Summary, Justice for Micah Edition: Teachers forbid Harry from going to Hogsmeade Snape picks on Neville worse than ever because he's Snape. But does Trelawney pick on Harry due to her prophecy? Did we ever have a teacher we were close with in the way that Parvati and Lavender are with Trelawney? Is Oliver Wood justified in feeling desperate about this year's Quidditch Cup? Is McGonagall mean for not signing Harry's permission slip? She knows about the Dursleys after all. Hosts connect some great threads between Book 3 and Book 5. Harry's Hogsmeade FOMO hits us in the feels. What makes Remus Lupin able and willing to say Voldemort's name? What If: Harry told Lupin about seeing the black dog off Privet Drive? Is Hermione wrong to point out the evidence against Trelawney's prediction about Binky? Could her doing so point to neurodivergent behavior? Rename the Chapter returns! And hosts assign MVP of the Week.

Potter Revisited Episode #27 Whodunnit? AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 9 "The Writing On The Wall" Tori adopted a little black cat Nimbus - see our instagram for pictures! Shay also has a dog named Nimbus  Both Tori and Shay understand Filch's grief and anger over something terrible happening to his pet  Did Filch really think Harry could have done this to Mrs Norris?  How many times can we butcher saying "Mrs Norris" this episode? Shay finds it interesting that McGonagall and Snape go with Dumbledore while Flitwick and Sprout stay behind Was McGonagall friends with Mrs Norris in her cat form?  Why does Snape have a smile when seeing Mrs Norris? Shay lists some potential reasons +1 Snape Sucks count for Snape trying to get Harry in trouble despite their being no way Harry could have petrified Mrs Norris Why didn't Harry tell the truth about hearing something? Was it really that big of a deal? We get the Founders backstory and discuss it's lore and how Slytherin's fears could have been dealt with  The Trio is the Scooby Gang - immediately looking for clues once alone at the scene of the crime Ron's spider phobia is very relatable and it is such a testament to his character on how much he faces it throughout this novel **SH Trigger** Myrtle references going to the washroom to kill herself, and it is kind of played for laughs both in the book and in the movie - it feels like a pretty big red flag  Is Ginny aware of what is happening to her yet, and if it is the diary? Was Madam Pince asked to remove copies of Hogwarts a History off the shelves to prevent students reading up on it? We discuss the Ghost Teacher, Professor Binns - is he actually a good teacher?  Is Hermione wanting to break the rules for the plan because it involves people like her?  Why is the school so quick to jump to Harry being the culprit?  Shay discusses the possible suspects for the heir of Slytherin (as if we don't know the ending) Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

Potter Revisited Episode #9 | Being A Gryffindor Sounds Exhausting Aka Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 9 "The Midnight Duel" We discuss how helpful remembralls really are  Harry thinks he is going to get beaten - we are surprised by the corporal punishment mention  Is Peeves chaotic neutral or evil?  We love Ron's solution to Harry not knowing enough magic for a duel - just hit him!  Harry immediately shows promise on a broom - we discuss what this means to him Is they way they teach students flying dangerous?  Why did Madam Hooch leave a bunch of unsupervised 11 year olds alone?  McGonagall - possibly the most strict teacher, bends the rules for Harry. Is it just her competitive spirit or is it something more? Is Hermione aware of how poor she is doing socially? She is in everyone's business in this chapter.  We dive into the beginning of the Harry/Malfoy rivalry It shows how close Harry and Ron have become as he is so ready to back Harry up Malfoy was very clever in is manipulation of Harry 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:  Neville Longbottom Memory Charm Theory  https://www.mugglenet.com/2004/07/more-about-neville/ https://www.mugglenet.com/2015/10/a-look-back-at-what-will-happen-in-harry-potter-7-chapter-5-nevilles-destiny/ 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

In this episode, we finish our discussion of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix. Snape really sucks, huh? Were we too mean to Cho Chang? Is Hermione too willing to kidnap people? This book felt like a filler episode. I have so many questions.

A truly vintage episode in which we actually just quibble for an hour. For example: Do wizards think banks and mines are the same thing? Has Ron seen Borat? If goblins have this extremely handy Thief's Downfall thing for detecting bank robbers, why not put it … at … the entrance? Is Hermione just totally asleep at the wheel here or does she actually think this broke-ass Ocean's Four nonsense will succeed? Why does Griphook open doors so weird? Do they murder Travers? This week chapter: Gringotts Next week's chapter: The Final Hiding Place

Main Discussion: The Most Controversial Opinions in the Harry Potter series What are the Harry Potter opinions that you think would get you in trouble? That would have people flinging an Unforgivable Curse at you? That would cause Umbridge to write a new decree about you?  Is Hermione a terrible person? Are people who’ve only watched the movies and haven’t read the books "real" fans? Could the chapters that aren’t about Harry be the best parts of the series? Was the attack on The Burrow a good addition to the Half-Blood Prince movie? Were the Marauders,  while intelligent and witty, actually total a**holes? Was Remus Lupin horrible for not writing to Harry in Year 1? Quizzitch: What is Harry wearing during his first dream in Gryffindor Tower?
