Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 26: Seen and Unforseen. MuggleCast last discussed this chapter on Episode 463! Could Hermione have been a little softer on Harry concerning Cho? Does she share any blame for double-booking him in Hogsmeade? Hermione criticizes her friends reactions to the outcome of the Quidditch match. Does she have any fun outlets? Harry is having FOMO watching Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor. But let's face it, it's not easy watching from the sidelines! Shockingly, Snape comes the closest he ever has to actually caring about teaching Harry Occlumency, but... of course... has to have the last laugh! We draw comparisons between Lupin teaching Harry the Patronus Charm and Snape teaching Harry Occlumency. Should Harry be farther along given he's been at this for two months? How did Harry get through the Department of Mysteries door during his Occlumency lesson when he's never been there in his dreams? The hosts agree that Dumbledore had Firenze in his back pocket to take over for Trelawney. Who did Dumbledore have on tap as a replacement for Hagrid? Voldemort finally learns only he or Harry can retrieve the prophecy. How is this not more common knowledge in the Wizarding World? How would've things been different if Voldemort never wasted time with this plan? Harry has direct line of sight into Voldemort's plan with Lucius Malfoy, Sturgis Podmore, Broderick Bode and Avery.

Quizzitch: In banning The Quibbler, Umbridge only raises more interest in it. The concept of banning something only making it more popular is colloquially known as The Streisand Effect, after actress Barbara Streisand sued a photographer for publishing a photo in 2003.

In this series that is overtly skeptical about a lot of new age or mystical things, we see something that is obviously meant to be genuine divination. It's powerful and it's undeniable, so do we suspend our belief or not? This series has simultaneously disbelieved and believed. It's fun, and the fact that Trelawney doesn't know about it somehow makes it more authoritative.

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 10: The EndThe pirates thought about the treasure and they were happy.They ate their breakfast quickly and we all started to walk along the beach.'We must go this way, and look for a tall tree,'said Silver.There were a lot of tall trees on the island and the pirates ran to look at all of them.Then one of the pirates said, 'Here!'Near a tree was a dead man.'He was a sailor,' said one of the pirates. 'Look at his jacket! But what's he doing here? When did he die?''Flint killed him years ago,' said Silver. 'He's showing us the way to the treasure. Follow his arm.Come on! This way.'The pirates followed quietly. They were afraid. We climbed a hill, then we sat down.Suddenly we heard singing.'It's Flint!' said one man, his face very white.'No,' said Silver.'Not Flint. Flint's dead. Remember the treasure, my boys, and don't be afraid!'But all the pirates had white faces.Silver listened carefully to the singing.'That's not Flint!' he said. 'It's ... it's Ben Gunn! We're not afraid of Ben Gunn!'The singing stopped and we moved on.After twenty minutes,we saw a very big tree on top of a hill.The pirates started to run.But they did not find any treasure.Under the tree they found an old box.There was nothing init.Flint's treasure was not there.For a long time, the six pirates sat and said nothing.Then Silver turned to me.'Be very careful,Jim,' he said quietly. 'These men are dangerous.'He gave me a gun.The pirates looked at us and we looked back at them.Suddenly, from the trees, guns started to shoot.Two of the pirates dropped to the ground and the other three ran away.The doctor and Ben Gunn ran out of the trees and started to run after the pirates.'They can't getaway,' said Silver. 'And you, Ben Gunn, what are you doing here?''Ben found the treasure a long time ago,' said the doctor. 'He moved it to his home on the island. So I gave the pirates Flint's map and we left the house and went to stay with Ben.'We took one of the pirate's boats, and broke the other.'The pirates haven't got a boat now,' said the doctor. 'They can't follow us.'Then we went round the island to find the Hispaniola.At last, we found our ship and met Mr. Trelawney and Captain Smollett.'What are you doing here, John Silver?' asked the captain.'I'm here to help you,' said Silver.'Ah,' said the captain.I had a good dinner that night with all my friends.We were all happy.Silver ate and drank and smiled and laughed too.The next morning, we started to carry the treasure to the ship.We did not see the three pirates on the island.Three days later, we finished our work.We heard the pirates singing loudly, but we did not see them.We left some boxes of food for the pirates, and started across the sea to the nearest town.We were happy when we arrived there.And there Silver left us.We were in the town and he got away.He took some of the treasure with him, too.And so, after some weeks at sea, we arrived home with our treasure.I never wanted to go back to that island again.

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 9: Silver Helped JimIt was now evening.'I must go back to the house now,' I thought. 'They're going to be angry with me, but I've got the ship.'So I left the ship and went happily back through the trees.I saw the house, and a big fire next to it.I moved on quietly through the trees and went into the house.It was dark and very quiet.'Everyone is sleeping,'I thought.Then somebody spoke.'Who's there?' he said.It was Long John Silver.Somebody brought alight.There were six pirates in the room.The other pirates were all dead.'So here's Jim,' said Long John Silver. 'Here to visit us. That's very nice ...'I said nothing.'So now you want to be a pirate, Jim,' Silver said. 'The captain and the doctor are angry with you,I know.''What's happening?' I asked.'Well, Jim,' said Silver. 'The ship's far away. Your friends left the house yesterday, and we're here now. And you, Jim, are you going to stay with us?''Let's kill him,' said one of the other pirates.'No,' said Silver.'I'm the captain. And I like this boy.'The other men were angry with Silver.They went away to talk about it together.'I want to help you,Jim,' said Silver quietly tome. 'But you must help me, too.'At last, the other pirates came back.They gave Silver some paper.It was black.'You aren't our captain now, John Silver,' one of the pirates said. 'We don't want you. And we don't want that boy.''Well,' said Silver. 'I have something you want. Look! And he showed them Mr.Trelawney's treasure map.''The doctor gave me this!' he said.The pirates were very excited and they all looked at the map.'Good old Silver!' they said. 'Good old Captain Silver!'The next morning the doctor came to the house.'Good morning, doctor,' said Long John. 'Look who's here!''Jim!' said the doctor. 'I want to talk to you. But first I must look at these men.''Now I want to talk to Jim, 'said the doctor after a few minutes.'No, you can't,'said one pirate.But Silver said, 'Yes,he can. You can speak to the boy, doctor.'The doctor turned tome.'Why are you with the pirates, Jim?' he asked sadly.'It was a mistake,' I said. 'They caught me here last night. But doctor, I've got the ship. It's in the North Inlet.''The ship! 'said the doctor.'Good boy!' he said.Then he turned to Silver.'Silver! Look after this boy. Perhaps I can help you later. Goodbye, Jim.'And the doctor left us.'And now, Jim,' said Silver, 'we're going to look for the treasure.'

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 6: Dr Livesey's StoryAt half-past one in the afternoon two, small boats went from the ship to the island.We looked for Jim Hawkins on the Hispaniola, but he was not there.We waited on the ship.There were six pirates with us.Then Hunter and I took a boat and went to the island.I wanted to see the house on the island.The house was strong and it was in a good place.'We can stay here,' I thought. 'There's water, and we can bring food and guns from the ship.'Then I heard the pirates fighting in the trees.'They're killing someone,' I thought. 'Perhaps Jim Hawkins is dead.'Hunter and I went back to the Hispaniola.I told the captain about the house, and we started to put food into the small boat.The pirates on the ship did not hear us.Joyce and I carried the food from the beach to the house.Joyce stayed in the house with his gun and I went back to the ship.We put more food and our guns into the small boat and dropped all the other guns into the sea.Then Mr. Trelawney's men Redruth and Hunter, Mr. Trelawney, the captain and I left the ship.There were five of us in a small boat and we moved very slowly.Then we saw the pirates on the Hispaniola.They had the big gun on the ship.'They're going to shoot at us,' somebody said.We tried to go faster.Mr. Trelawney shot at the men on the ship.He hit one of them.Then the pirates on the island ran out of the trees.They began to run along the beach.'Quickly!' said the captain. 'They're going to catch us. Leave the boat.'We heard the big gun on the Hispaniola behind us; we jumped on to the beach and ran.Most of our food and our guns went down into the sea with the small boat.We heard the pirates running along the beach behind us, but we ran quickly through the trees to the house.We arrived at the house and turned to shoot at the pirates.We hit one of the pirates, and the other men ran away.Then one of the pirates turned and shot Redruth through the head.Captain Smollett said sadly: 'Now there are only five of us and we have food for ten days. What are we going to do?'Suddenly we heard somebody outside.'Dr Livesey,' said Jim Hawkins, 'it's me, Jim. I'm here.'So then there were six of us.

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 5: Ben GunnThe next morning we arrived at the island.I remembered Billy Bones's map.'I know there's a house on the island,' I thought. 'But I can't see it from here.'The sailors wanted to leave the ship, but Captain Smollett said, 'Tell the men they can go to the island this afternoon.''What are we going to do?' asked Mr. Trelawney.We must think quickly.'Three of the men on the ship, Hunter, Joyce and Redruth, were Mr. Trelawney's men.He told them about Long John Silver and the pirates and he gave them some guns.Then he spoke to the other men, the pirates.'Men,' he said,'it's a hot day and we're all tired. Take a boat and go to the island. You can come back this evening.'The pirates were happier.Six of them stayed on the Hispaniola and thirteen got into the small boats to go to the island.I quietly got into one of the boats, too.We arrived on the beach and I ran away from the pirates.Long John Silver saw me.'Jim! Jim!' he said.'Come here!'But I did not listen to him. I ran into the trees.I walked about for a time, then I heard the pirates talking angrily. There was some fighting, and one man died.'He didn't want to help them, so they killed him,' I thought, 'They're bad men.'I ran and ran.'How can I get back to the ship?' I thought. 'The pirates are going to kill me, too.'I climbed the hill.Suddenly I saw a man.'Who's this?' I thought. 'He isn't one of our men. Nobody lives on this island.'I began to run back to the beach, but I was tired and the man ran very quickly.I stopped and took out my gun.The man carefully came out of the trees.'Who are you?' I asked.I'm Ben Gunn,' he said. 'I live here. The pirates left me on this island three years ago. What's your name?''Jim,' I told him.'Well, Jim,' he said, 'I'm a very rich man. But tell me, who came in that ship? Is it Flint's ship?''No, it isn't. Flint is dead,' I said. 'But some of his men are on the ship.''Not... not a man with one leg?''Silver?' I asked.'Yes, Silver,' he said. 'Are you a friend of his?''No, I'm not,' I answered. And I told him everything.'Is Mr. Trelawney a good man?' Ben asked. 'Perhaps I can help him.''Yes, he's very good. And I think he can help you, too.''Good,' said Ben Gunn.'But can you help me now?' I asked.' I must get back to the ship.''I've got a little boat,' he said. 'You can use it tonight.'Suddenly we heard the sound of guns.'Listen! they're fighting!' I said.We ran to the beach.We heard more guns,then everything was quiet and a flag went up above the trees.

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 4: Pirates on The ShipMr. Trelawney liked to give the sailors things to make them happy.There was always a big barrel of fruit for them.One night, after I finished my work on the ship, I went to get some fruit from the barrel.Everything was very quiet.I climbed inside the barrel to get the fruit.Suddenly a heavy man sat down next to the barrel.He began to speak.It was Long John Silver.I stayed very quiet.'Yes,' he said.' Flint was our captain. I sailed with him many times. We had one big fight. I lost my leg and Old Pew lost his eyes. I saw a lot of fighting and a lot of treasure,too.''Ah,' said a younger man. 'Flint was a bad man! And where are all Flint's men now?''Most of them are here,' said Silver quietly, 'on this ship. Old Pew's dead. And you, young man,do you want to help us? Do you want to be a pirate?''Yes, I do.''Good,' said Silver.'You're going to be a good pirate.'Then a second man spoke to Long John Silver.It was Israel Hands.'I don't like our captain, John,' he said. 'Let's kill Smollett and the others.''No. We must wait.We must have Captain Smollett to sail the ship,' said Silver. 'And Mr.Trelawney and the doctor have the map. Let them find the treasure first. Then we can kill them. Now get me some fruit from this barrel.'I was very afraid.But then someone said, 'Land!'Everybody ran to seethe island. I waited for a minute, then I climbed out of the barrel and ran, too.The ship was now quite near an island.'Does anybody know this island?' Captain Smollett asked.'I do,' said Silver.'There were a lot of pirates here in the old days. That hill in the center of the island is called the Spy Glass.'Then Captain Smollett showed Silver a map of the island.Silver looked at the map very carefully, but it was not Billy Bones's map.It did not show the treasure.I went to Dr Livesey. 'Can I speak to you please, doctor?' I said.'What is it, Jim?' he asked.Then I told the doctor, Mr. Trelawney and Captain Smollett about Long John Silver.'Most of the sailors are pirates,' I said. 'They want to kill us and take the treasure.''Thank you, Jim,' said Mr. Trelawney. 'And Captain Smollett, you were right. I was wrong. I'm sorry.''Silver is a very clever man,' said the doctor. 'We all liked him.''What are we going to do, captain?' asked Mr. Trelawney.

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 3: The Sailor with One LegThe next day Mr.Trelawney left for Bristol.“I stayed at home and waited.At last, weeks later, Dr Livesey got a letter from Bristol.Dear Livesey, the ship is ready. Its name is Hispaniola.I found a good man to be our cook on the ship.He's an old sailor and he has an inn here in Bristol.He is going to help me find sailors for our ship.He knows a lot of men here.His name is Long John Silver.He has only one leg.Please send Jim Hawkins to Bristol tomorrow.Trelawney.”I was very excited.The next morning I said goodbye to my mother and started for Bristol.Mr. Trelawney met met here.'When do we sail?' I asked him.'Sail?' he said. 'We sail tomorrow!'I had something to eat, then Mr. Trelawney gave me a letter for Long John Silver at the Spy Glass Inn.There were a lot of sailors in the Spy Glass Inn.I looked round and saw a tall strong man with one leg.'He's Long John Silver,' I thought.'Mr. Silver, sir?'I asked.'Yes, that's my name. And who are you?'I gave him the letter and he took my hand.Suddenly, one of the other men in the inn jumped up and ran to the door.I knew him.It was Black Dog!'Stop him!' I said. 'Stop him! It's Black Dog!''Harry,' said Silver, 'run and catch that man.'A man got up and ran after Black Dog.Long John Silver turned to me."Who was that man?'he asked. 'Black what?''Dog, sir,' I said.'He's a pirate.''A pirate!' said Silver. 'Ben, run and help Harry. You can catch him!'But Ben and Harry came back without Black Dog.'We lost him,' they said.'Well, what is Mr.Trelawney going to think?' said Silver. 'You know, Jim, we did try to catch him. And nobody in the inn knew that he was the pirate Black Dog. Now, Jim,come with me. We're going to see Mr. Trelawney.'Long John Silver walked with me to meet Mr. Trelawney and Dr Livesey.He told them about Black Dog.Mr. Trelawney listened carefully, and then said, 'Well, we can't do anything about Black Dog now.John, tell all the men to come to the ship this afternoon.'The doctor turned tome. 'Come and see the ship, Jim,' he said. And meet our captain, Captain Smollett.'So we went to the Hispaniola.'Well, Captain Smollett,' said Mr. Trelawney, 'I hope everything is ready.''Well, sir,' said the captain, 'it is, but l'm not happy about it. I don't like the sailors.''Oh?' said Mr.Trelawney. He was very angry with the captain.But Dr Livesey said,'Tell me, Captain Smollett. Why are you unhappy?'Well,' said the captain, I don't know where we are going. But all the sailors say we are going to look for treasure. I don't like it. I don't know these men.''Well, what do you want?' asked the doctor.'We must have all the guns in our rooms, sir. And Mr. Trelawney's men must sleep near us, not with the other sailors.''And?' said Mr. Trelawney.'You have a map. Thesailors know about it. Nobody must see that map.''Right, sir,' said Mr.Trelawney. 'We can do that. But I think they're very good men.''Trelawney,' said the doctor later, 'you have two good men, Captain Smollett and Long John Silver.''I don't know about the captain,' said Mr. Trelawney angrily.Then Captain Smollett found me. 'And you, boy, go and help the cook!'We worked all night and in the morning, the ship left Bristol.The Hispaniola was a good ship and we had good weather.The sailors all liked Long John Silver.'In the old days,before he lost his leg, he was a good fighter,' some of them said.' He was always very good to me. '

Chapter 25 - The Beetle at BayQ1 - What do you think of this mass breakout at Azkaban?Q2 - Why was Bode assassinated? And who killed him?This latest Decree had been the subject of a great number of jokes among the students. Lee Jordan had pointed out to Umbridge that by the terms of the new rule she was not allowed to tell Fred and George off for playing Exploding Snap in the back of the class. ʹExploding Snapʹs got nothing to do with Defence Against the Dark Arts, Professor! Thatʹs not information relating to your subject!ʹ  When Harry next saw Lee, the back of his hand was bleeding rather badly. Harry recommended essence of Murtlap.Q3 - Do you think Umbridge should be in prison for this?ʹWell, maybe Snape isnʹt really trying to help Harry…ʹ  Harry and Hermione stared at him. Ron looked darkly and meaningfully from one to the other. ʹMaybe,ʹ he said again, in a lower voice, ʹheʹs actually trying to open Harryʹs mind a bit wider… make it easier for You‐Know—ʹ  ʹShut up, Ron,ʹ said Hermione angrily. ʹHow many times have you suspected Snape, and when have you ever been right? Dumbledore trusts him, he works for the Order, that ought to be enough.ʹ  ʹHe used to be a Death Eater,ʹ said Ron stubbornly. ʹAnd weʹve never seen proof that he really swapped sides.ʹ  ʹDumbledore trusts him,ʹ Hermione repeated. ʹAnd if we canʹt trust Dumbledore, we canʹt trust anyone.ʹ Q4 - Whose side are you taking here?Q5 - Life advice: After Pancy says, “At least Cedric was good-looking” and the conversation between Harry and Cho stops, what should Harry's response be?Q6 - Do you think the date is going well?In the time it took for their coffees to arrive, Roger Davies and his girlfriend had started kissing over their sugar bowl. Harry wished they wouldnʹt; he felt that Davies was setting a standard with which Cho would soon expect him to compete. He felt his face growing hot and tried staring out of the window, but it was so steamed up he couldnʹt see the street outside. To postpone the moment when he would have to look at Cho, he stared up at the ceiling as though examining the paintwork and received a handful of confetti in the face from their hovering cherub.Q7 - Does Harry actually like Cho…because why wouldn't he wanna makeout with her?Q8 - Is Cho right to be angry at Harry here?Q9 - Can guys and girls be actual friends? Q10 - What is going on with Hagrid?Q11 - Is Hermione slightly abusive to be controlling Rita like this?Q12 - Is Harry smart to be telling his story?Chapter 26 - Seen and Unforeseen'You should have told her differently,ʹ said Hermione, still with that maddeningly patient air. ʹYou should have said it was really annoying, but Iʹd made you promise to come along to the Three Broomsticks, and you really didnʹt want to go, youʹd much rather spend the whole day with her, but unfortunately you thought you really ought to meet me and would she please, please come along with you and hopefully youʹd be able to get away more quickly. And it might have been a good idea to mention how ugly you think I am, too,ʹ  Hermione added as an afterthought. ʹBut I donʹt think youʹre ugly,ʹ said Harry, bemused. Hermione laughed. ʹHarry youʹre worse than Ron… well, no, youʹre not,ʹ she sighed, as Ron himself came stumping into the Hall splattered with mud and looking grumpy.Q1 - How do you know if a person likes you or not?Q2 - Is it good that Harry's story is published? Do we feel like Harry finally beat Umbridge?The teachers were of course forbidden from mentioning the interview by Educational Decree Number Twenty‐six, but they found ways to express their feelings about it all the same. Professor Sprout awarded Gryffindor twenty points when Harry passed her a watering can; a beaming Professor Flitwick pressed a box of squeaking sugar mice on him at the end of Charms, said, ʹShh!ʹ  and hurried away; and Professor Trelawney broke into hysterical sobs during Divination and announced to the startled class, and a very disapproving Umbridge, that Harry was not going to suffer an early death after all, but would live to a ripe old age, become Minister for Magic and have twelve children.Q3 - What's your favorite time a teacher praised you?Q4 - What's the deal with Avery and Rookwood? What information are they giving to Voldy?ʹI was You-Know-Who,ʹ said Harry, and he stretched out his hands in the darkness and held them up to his face, to check that they were no longer deathly white and long‐fingered.Q5 - Why is Harry now becoming Voldemort?ʹSturgis Podmore—' said Hermione breathlessly, ʹarrested for trying to get through a door! Lucius Malfoy must have got him too! I bet he did it the day you saw him there, Harry. Sturgis had Moodyʹs Invisibility Cloak, right? So, what if he was standing guard by the door, invisible, and Malfoy heard him move ‐ or guessed someone was there ‐ or just did the Imperius Curse on the off‐chance thereʹd be a guard there? So, when Sturgis next had an opportunity ‐ probably when it was his turn on guard duty again—he tried to get into the Department to steal the weapon for Voldemort—Ron, be quiet—but he got caught and sent to Azkaban…ʺ Q6 - Is Hermione right here?Snape staggered ‐ his wand flew upwards, away from Harry ‐and suddenly Harryʹs mind was teeming with memories that were not his: a hook‐nosed man was shouting at a cowering woman, while a small dark‐haired boy cried in a corner… a greasy‐haired teenager sat alone in a dark bedroom, pointing his wand at the ceiling, shooting down flies… a girl was laughing as a scrawny boy tried to mount a bucking broomstick.Q7 - Do any of these memories mean anything?ʹCan you tell me something, sir?ʹ said Harry, firing up again. ʹWhy do you call Voldemort the Dark Lord? Iʹve only ever heard Death Eaters call him that.ʹ  Snape opened his mouth in a snarl ‐ and a woman screamed from somewhere outside the room. Snapes head jerked upwards; he was gazing at the ceiling.There, there, Sybill… calm down… blow your nose on this… itʹs not as bad as you think, now… you are not going to have to leave Hogwarts…ʺ  ʹOh really, Professor McGonagall?ʹ said Umbridge in a deadly voice, taking a few steps forward. ʹAnd your authority for that statement is… ?ʹ  That would be mine,ʹ said a deep voice. The oaken front doors had swung open. Students beside them scuttled out of the way as Dumbledore appeared in the entrance. What he had been doing out in the grounds Harry could not imagine, but there was something impressive about the sight of him framed in the doorway against an oddly misty night.Q8 - What was Dumbledore doing outside the castle at this hour?Q9 - Thoughts on Trelawney sack, Dumbledore's attitude, and Firenze hire?Chapter 27 - The Centaur and the SneakʹNot reallyʹ said Hermione indifferently, who was reading the Daily Prophet. ʹIʹve never really liked horses.ʹ  She turned a page of the newspaper and scanned its columns. ʹHeʹs not a horse, heʹs a centaur!ʹ said Lavender, sounding shocked. ʹA gorgeous centaur…ʹ sighed Parvati.Q1 - Is it weird to be attracted to a centaur? (or the horse from Spirit?)ʹDid Hagrid breed you, like the Thestrals?ʹ asked Dean eagerly.Q2 - Did Dean just unseat Ron as the dumbest student in Hogwarts?ʹIn the past decade, the indications have been that wizardkind is living through nothing more than a brief calm between two wars. Mars, bringer of battle, shines brightly above us, suggesting that the fight must soon break out again.Q3 - Is he right here?Q4 - What is Hagrid attempting?Q5 - Did you think they were going to ever get caught?Potter was the leader, was he not, Potter organized it, Potter ‐ why are you shaking your head, girl?ʹ  ʹWell, usually when a person shakes their head,ʹ said McGonagall coldly, ʹthey mean ʺnoʺ. So unless Miss Edgecombe is using a form of sign‐language as yet unknown to humans ‐ʹ  Professor Umbridge seized Marietta, pulled her round to face her and began shaking her very hard. A split second later Dumbledore was on his feet, his wand raised; Kingsley started forwards and Umbridge leapt back from Marietta, waving her hands in the air as though they had been burned. ʹI cannot allow you to manhandle my students, Dolores,ʹ said Dumbledore and, for the first time, he looked angry.ʹYou will now be escorted back to the Ministry, where you will be formally charged, then sent to Azkaban to await trial!ʹ  ʹAh,ʹ said Dumbledore gently, ʹyes. Yes, I thought we might hit that little snag.ʹ  ʹSnag?ʹ said Fudge, his voice still vibrating with joy. ʹI see no snag, Dumbledore!ʹ  ʹWell,ʹ said Dumbledore apologetically, ʹIʹm afraid I do.ʹ  ʹOh, really?ʹ  ʹWell ‐ itʹs just that you seem to be laboring under the delusion that I am going to ‐ what is the phrase? ‐ come quietly. I am afraid I am not going to come quietly at all, Cornelius. I have absolutely no intention of being sent to Azkaban. I could break out, of course ‐ but what a waste of time, and frankly, I can think of a whole host of things I would rather be doing.ʹ Q6 - What are your thoughts on Dumbledore here?ʹI am not leaving to go into hiding. Fudge will soon wish heʹd never dislodged me from Hogwarts, I promise you.ʹ Q7 - What is Dumbledore going to do now?Professor McGonagall said nothing, but marched Harry and Marietta to the door. As it swung closed behind them, Harry heard Phineas Nigellusʹs voice. ʹYou know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts… but you cannot deny heʹs got style…ʹ Q8 - What do you think about everything that just happened?Chapter 28 - Snape's Worst Memory“Umbridge tried to get back into his office last night after theyʹd searched the castle and grounds for him. Couldnʹt get past the gargoyle. The Headʹs office has sealed itself against her.ʹ Ernie smirked. ʹApparently, she had a right little tantrum.”Q1 - Do you think Dumbledore did this or is this just the magic of the castle?ʹMalfoy just docked us all about fifty points,ʹ said Harry furiously, as they watched several more stones fly upwards from the Gryffindor hour‐glass. ʹYeah, Montague tried to do us during break,ʹ said George. ʹWhat do you mean, ʺtriedʺ?ʹ said Ron quickly. ʹHe never managed to get all the words out,ʹ said Fred, ʹdue to the fact that we forced him head‐first into that Vanishing Cabinet on the first floor.ʹ Q2 - Where do you think Montague vanished to?Q3 - What do you think about the new point system?The upshot of it all was that Professor Umbridge spent her first afternoon as Headmistress running all over the school answering the summonses of the other teachers, none of whom seemed able to rid their rooms of the fireworks without her. When the final bell rang and they were heading back to Gryffindor Tower with their bags, Harry saw, with immense satisfaction, a dishevelled and soot-blackened Umbridge tottering sweaty‐faced from Professor Flitwickʹs classroom.And now he was in a dimly lit room as high and wide as a church, full of nothing but rows and rows of towering shelves, each laden with small, dusty, spun‐glass spheres… now Harrys heart was beating fast with excitement… he knew where to go… he ran forwards, but his footsteps made no noise in the enormous, deserted room… There was something in this room he wanted very, very much…Q4 - What is Harry looking at here?Sheʹs a lovely person really,ʹ said Cho. ʹShe just made a mistake ‐ʹ  Harry looked at her incredulously. ʹA lovely person who made a mistake? She sold us all out, including you!ʹ  ʹWell… we all got away, didnʹt we?ʹ said Cho pleadingly. ʹYou know, her mum works for the Ministry, itʹs really difficult for her ‐ʹ  ʹRonʹs dad works for the Ministry too!ʹ Harry said furiously. ʹAnd in case you hadnʹt noticed, he hasnʹt got sneak written across his face ‐ʹ  That was a really horrible trick of Hermione Grangerʹs,ʹ said Cho fiercely. ʹShe should have told us sheʹd jinxed that list ‐ʹ  ʹI think it was a brilliant idea,ʹ said Harry coldly. Cho flushed and her eyes grew brighter. ʹOh yes, I forgot ‐ of course, if it was darling Hermioneʹs idea ‐ʹ  ʹDonʹt start crying again,ʹ said Harry warningly. ʹI wasnʹt going to!ʹ she shouted. ʹYeah… well… good,ʹ he said. Iʹve got enough to cope with at the moment.ʹ  ʹGo and cope with it then!ʹ Cho said furiously, turning on her heel and stalking off.Q5 - Who is right in this debate?Q6 - Should Harry have looked into Snape's memories?ʹLeave him ALONE!ʹ  James and Sirius looked round. Jamesʹs free hand immediately jumped to his hair. It was one of the girls from the lake edge. She had thick, dark red hair that fell to her shoulders, and startlingly green almond-shaped eyes—Harryʹs eyes. Harryʹs mother.Q7 - Jenn and Danny, what do you think about the color and shape of the eyes?Q8 - What do you think of the young marauders and of Lily and Snape?ʹYou think youʹre funny,ʹ she said coldly. ʹBut youʹre just an arrogant, bullying toerag, Potter. Leave him alone.ʹ  ʹI will if you go out with me, Evans,ʹ said James quickly. ʹGo on… go out with me and Iʹll never lay a wand on old Snivelly again.ʹ Q9 - Were James and Lily married because of this bet?Q10 - Is James Potter a jerk?Chapter 29 - Careers AdviceQ1 - What is going on with Harry at the start of this chapter? (Is he only depressed because of the memory he saw?)Q2 - Is Harry an idiot to be breaking into Umbridge's office to talk with Sirius?Q3 - What would the trio be good at for their jobs?Q4 - What would you want to do in the wizarding world?Professor Umbridge gave her most pronounced cough yet. ʹMay I offer you a cough drop, Dolores?ʹ Professor McGonagall asked curtly, without looking at Professor Umbridge.ʹI should have made my meaning plainer,ʹ said Professor McGonagall, turning at last to look Umbridge directly in the eyes. ʹHe has achieved high marks in all Defence Against the Dark Arts tests set by a competent teacher.ʹ  Professor Umbridgeʹs smile vanished as suddenly as a light bulb blowing.ʹPotter,ʹ she said in ringing tones, ʹI will assist you to become an Auror if it is the last thing I do! If I have to coach you nightly, I will make sure you achieve the required results!ʹQ5 - Thoughts on the showdown with McG and Umbridge?ʹHe kept messing up his hair,ʹ said Harry in a pained voice. Sirius and Lupin laughed. ʹIʹd forgotten he used to do that,ʹ said Sirius affectionately. ʹWas he playing with the Snitch?ʹ said Lupin eagerly. ʹYeah,ʹ said Harry, watching uncomprehendingly as Sirius and Lupin beamed reminiscently. ʹWell… I thought he was a bit of an idiot.ʹ Q6 - How do you look at your past self?Q7 - Are Sirius and Lupin right to laugh it off like this?ʹSTOP THEM!ʹ shrieked Umbridge, but it was too late. As the Inquisitorial Squad closed in, Fred and George kicked off from the floor, shooting fifteen feet into the air, the iron peg swinging dangerously below. Fred looked across the hall at the poltergeist bobbing on his level above the crowd. ʹGive her hell from us, Peeves.ʹ  And Peeves, who Harry had never seen take an order from a student before, swept his belled hat from his head and sprang to a salute as Fred and George wheeled about to tumultuous applause from the students below and sped out of the open front doors into the glorious sunset.Q8 - What do you think about this?

Chapter 13 - Detention with DoloresQ1 - Why do you think Dumbledore hired Dolores Jane Umbridge?Q2 - They are writing an essay on moonstones…do you think this will play into the future somehow?ʹBowtruckles,ʹ said Hermione. Theyʹre tree guardians, usually live in wand-trees. ʹFive points for Gryffindor,ʹ said Professor Grubbly-Plank. ʹQ3 - How rigged is the point system?Q4 - What direction do you hope the books go in? What has interested you the most at this point?The door of the nearest greenhouse opened and some fourth years spilled out of it, including Ginny. ʹHi,ʹ she said brightly as she passed. A few seconds later, Luna Lovegood emerged, trailing behind the rest of the class, a smudge of earth on her nose, and her hair tied in a knot on the top of her head. When she saw Harry, her prominent eyes seemed to bulge excitedly and she made a beeline straight for him. Many of his classmates turned curiously to watch. Luna took a great breath and then said, without so much as a preliminary hello, ʹI believe He Who Must Not Be Named is back and I believe you fought him and escaped from him.ʹQ5 - Harry's story is becoming a conspiracy theory…do you believe any conspiracy theories?Q6 - What do you think of Umbridge and her detention with Harry?Q7 - If you had a detention with a student, what would you have them do?ʹAt least itʹs only lines,ʹ said Hermione consolingly, as Harry sank back on to his bench and looked down at his steak and kidney pie, which he no longer fancied very much. ʹItʹs not as if itʹs a dreadful punishment, really…ʺ  Harry opened his mouth, closed it again and nodded. He was not really sure why he was not telling Ron and Hermione exactly what was happening in Umbridgeʹs room: he only knew that he did not want to see their looks of horror; that would make the whole thing seem worse and therefore more difficult to face. He also felt dimly that this was between himself and Umbridge, a private battle of wills, and he was not going to give her the satisfaction of hearing that he had complained about it.Q8 - Would you stand true like Harry, or fake that she made her point?She moved towards him, stretching out her short ringed fingers for his arm. And then, as she took hold of him to examine the words now cut into his skin, pain seared, not across the back of his hand, but across the scar on his forehead. At the same time, he had a most peculiar sensation somewhere around his midriff.Q9 - Why did his scar hurt here?Chapter 14 - Percy and PadfootQ1 - How do Hogwarts students do their laundry?Q2 - How many house elves do you think Hermione has freed?Harryʹs insides reinflated so rapidly he felt as though he might actually float a few inches off the dropping-strewn floor. Who cared about a stupid flying horse; Cho thought he had been really brave. For a moment, he considered accidentally- on-purpose showing her his cut hand as he helped her tie her parcel on to her owl… but the very instant this thrilling thought occurred, the Owlery door opened again.Q3 - What's the most you've tried to show off to someone you had a crush on?Q4 - What is the deal with Sturgis Podmore?Q5 - Who do you think will win the Quidditch cup this year?From something the Minister let slip when telling me you are now a prefect, I gather that you are still seeing a lot of Harry Potter. I must tell you, Ron, that nothing could put you in danger of losing your badge more than continued fraternization with that boy. Yes, I am sure you are surprised to hear this no doubt you will say that Potter has always been Dumbledoreʹs favorite — but I feel bound to tell you that Dumbledore may not be in charge at Hogwarts much longer and the people who count have a very different and probably more accurate view of Potterʹs behavior. I shall say no more here, but if you look at the Daily Prophet.Q6 - What does Percy mean here?Q7 - Do you think Dumbldore will be sacked by the end of this?And I do hope, Ron, that you will not allow family ties to blind you to the misguided nature of our parentsʹ beliefs and actions, either. I sincerely hope that, in time, they will realize how mistaken they were and I shall, of course, be ready to accept a full apology when that day comes.ʹHermione, you are honestly the most wonderful person Iʹve ever met,ʹ said Ron weakly, ʹand if Iʹm ever rude to you againʹ‐ Iʹll know youʹre back to normal,ʹ said Hermione. ʹHarry, yours is OK except for this bit at the end, I think you must have misheard Professor Sinistra, Europaʹs covered in ice, not mice Harry?ʹQ8 - Harry thought a moon was covered in mice…ʹYes, but the world isnʹt split into good people and Death Eaters,ʹ said Sirius with a wry smile. ʹI know sheʹs a nasty piece of work, though — you should hear Remus talk about her.ʹ ʹFudge thinks Dumbledore will stop at nothing to seize power. Heʹs getting more paranoid about Dumbledore by the day. Itʹs a matter of time before he has Dumbledore arrested on some trumped up charge.ʹ There was a pause in which Sirius looked out of the fire at Harry, a crease between his sunken eyes. ʹYouʹre less like your father than I thought,ʹ he said finally, a definite coolness in his voice. The risk wouldʹve been what made it fun for James.ʹ Q9 - What do you think of what Sirius said?Chapter 15 - The Hogwarts High InquisitorQ1 - What do you think of Umbridge's appointment as High Inquisitor?Q2 - What do you think of the article in the Prophet?O - OutstandingE - Exceed ExpectationsA - AcceptableP - PoorD - Dreadful T - TrollQ3 - What do you think about the OWL grading system?Q4 - Do you feel bad for Trelawney here?Q5 - Do you think any teacher will get fired?ʹYes?ʹ said Professor McGonagall, turning round, her eyebrows so close together they seemed to form one long, severe line. ʹI was just wondering, Professor, whether you received my note telling you of the date and time of your inspec—ʹ  ʹObviously I received it, or I would have asked you what you are doing in my classroom,ʹ said Professor McGonagall, turning her back firmly on Professor Umbridge. Many of the students exchanged looks of glee. ʹAs I was saying: today, we shall be practicing the altogether more difficult Vanishment of mice. Now, the Vanishing Spell.ʹSheʹs an awful woman,ʹ said Hermione in a small voice. ʹAwful. You know, 1 was just saying to Ron when you came in… weʹve got to do something about her.ʹ  ʹI suggested poison,ʹ said Ron grimly.Hermione heaved a very deep sigh. ʹIsnʹt it obvious?ʹ she said. ʹIʹm talking about you, Harry.ʹ Q6 - Do you think Harry would be a good teacher?ʹYou donʹt know what itʹs like! You neither of you youʹve never had to face him, have you? You think itʹs just memorizing a bunch of spells and throwing them at him, like youʹre in class or something? The whole time youʹre sure you know thereʹs nothing between you and dying except your own your own brain or guts or whatever like you can think straight when you know youʹre about a nanosecond from being murdered, or tortured, or watching your friends die theyʹve never taught us that in their classes, what itʹs like to deal with things like that and you two sit there acting like Iʹm a clever little boy to be standing here, alive, like Diggory was stupid, like he messed up — you just donʹt get it, that could just as easily have been me, it would have been if Voldemort hadnʹt needed me. ʹReparo,ʹ Harry muttered, pointing his wand at the broken pieces of china. They flew back together, good as new, but there was no returning the Murtlap essence to the bowl. He was suddenly so tired he was tempted to sink back into his armchair and sleep there, but instead he forced himself to his feet and followed Ron upstairs. His restless night was punctuated once more by dreams of long corridors and locked doors and he awoke next day with his scar prickling again.Q7 - Unpack line above.Chapter 16 - In the Hog's HeadQ1 - What was the deal with Filch and the dungbombs and Hermione thinking through that story?A battered wooden sign hung from a rusty bracket over the door, with a picture on it of a wild boarʹs severed head, leaking blood on to the white cloth around it. The sign creaked in the wind as they approached. All three of them hesitated outside the door…The Hogʹs Head bar comprised one small, dingy and very dirty room that smelled strongly of something that might have been goats.Q2 - If you owned a Wizard Brewery, what would you call it?The barman sidled towards them out of a back room. He was a grumpy-looking old man with a great deal of long grey hair and beard. He was tall and thin and looked vaguely familiar to Harry.Q3 - Have we met this barman before?ʹWhereʹs the proof You-Know-Whoʹs back?ʹ said the blond Hufflepuff player in a rather aggressive voice. ʹWell, Dumbledore believes it,” Hermione began. ʹYou mean, Dumbledore believes him,ʹ said the blond boy, nodding at Harry. ʹWho are you?ʹ said Ron, rather rudely. ʹZacharias Smith,ʹ said the boy, ʹand I think weʹve got the right to know exactly what makes him say You-Know-Whoʹs back.ʹ  Q4 - Is this an unreasonable request from Smith?ʹAre you trying to weasel out of showing us any of this stuff?ʹ said Zacharias Smith. ʹHereʹs an idea,ʹ said Ron loudly, before Harry could speak, ʹwhy donʹt you shut your mouth?ʹ Q5 - Who is the better friend to Harry?ʹWhat are Heliopaths?ʹ asked Neville, looking blank. Theyʹre spirits of fire,ʹ said Luna, her protuberant eyes widening so that she looked madder than ever, ʹgreat tall flaming creatures that gallop across the ground burning everything in front of—”They donʹt exist, Neville,ʹ said Hermione tartly. ʹOh, yes, they do!ʹ said Luna angrily. ʹIʹm sorry, but whereʹs the proof of that?ʹ snapped Hermione. There are plenty of eye-witness accounts. Just because youʹre so narrow‐minded you need to have everything shoved under your nose before you.”Q6 - Do Heliopaths exist?ʹWell,ʹ said Hermione, smiling slightly, ʹshe just couldnʹt keep her eyes off you, could she?ʹ  Harry had never before appreciated just how beautiful the village of Hogsmeade was.Q7 - What do you think about all these people wanting to joining this group?Q8 - What is a moment you were on cloud 9 from a crush?

Treasure Island by Robert Stevenson原文Chapter 2: Flint's MapA week later, the captain came down and sat in his usual chair.I went outside the inn and looked up and down the road.I saw another man on the road.He wore a long black coat and he walked very slowly.'He can't see,'I thought.The man arrived in front of the inn and turned his face to me. 'Can you tell me, please, where I am?'I told him.He listened carefully ;'You're young,' he said. 'Take my hand, my young friend, and take me inside.'He took my hand, He was very strong.'Now my young friend,' he said, 'take me to the captain. Quickly! I can break your arm.'When the captain saw the man, he did not move.The man put something into the captain's hand and then left the inn.The captain looked at the black paper in his hand.Then he read the words on it.'Ten o'clock!They're coming at ten o'clock,' he said. 'We've got six hours!'He tried to stand up, but he was too ill.I ran for my mother,but it was too late.When we came back the captain was dead on the floor.My mother and I went to the village, but the people there did not want to help us.They were too afraid.Our friend the doctor was away.Nobody could help us.'I must get my money from the captain's box,' my mother said. 'It's our money.'We opened the box.There were some old coats and shirts and a bag of money.My mother began to take the money.'Quickly!' I said. 'It's nearly ten o'clock.'It was a cold night,and very quiet.Suddenly, I heard a sound on the road.Then I heard someone stop outside the inn.We waited, but then everything was quiet again.Nothing moved.'Quickly, mother!' I said. 'Take all the captain's money.''No,' she said. 'I don't want it all.'Then we heard someone again, outside the front door.'Let's go without the money,'my mother said.I took an envelope from the captain's box. 'I'm going to take this,' I said.We left the inn very quietly through the backdoor.We heard men running along the road to the inn.We stopped behind some trees and watched the men.There were seven or eight of them, all pirates.They broke down the door of the inn and ran inside.'Bill's dead!'someone said.'Open his box!' a second man said.'Flint's map!Where's Flint's map?''We can't find it!''It's not here!''It's those people at the inn - it's that boy! The boy's got the map. Find them, boys!'The men moved quickly.They looked into every room in the inn.'Listen!' one of them said. 'Someone's coming! We must run!''No, find the boy!He's near here somewhere, I know.'Then I heard a gun.The pirates heard it too, and began to run away.We waited for a minute or two and then we went back to the inn.'What did the pirates want?' a man from the village asked me. 'Did they find the captain's money?''Yes,' I said. 'But I think they wanted this.' I showed him the envelope. 'I think there's a map inside it.''You must take it to Mr.Trelawney,'he told me.When I arrived at Mr.Trelawney's house, Dr Livesey was there.'Hello Jim, what is it?' he asked.I told him about the pirates.'Let's see that map,' the doctor said. 'But first, Mr. Trelawney, what do you know about Captain Flint?''Flint?' said Mr.Trelawney. 'He was a famous pirate and a very bad man. Everybody was afraid of Captain Flint. But he's dead now.''Money!' said Mr.Trelawney. 'He was the richest pirate in the West Indies.'Then perhaps this map shows where Captain Flint's treasure is,' said the doctor.'What?' said Mr.Trelawney.Then I must buy a ship and we can all go and look for the treasure.'The doctor opened the map very carefully.It was a map of an island.There was some writing on the map.It said: 'Treasure here'.Mr. Trelawney and the doctor were excited.'Livesey!' said Mr.Trelawney. 'Tomorrow I'm going to Bristol. I'm going to buy a ship and find sailors.Jim, you and Dr Livesey are going to come with me to look for the treasure!'

Chapter 11 - Aboard the Hogwarts ExpressQ1 - How do you like the name Mad-Eye?Mrs Weasley took a piece of buttered toast from a stack on the kitchen table, put it into the fire tongs and transferred it into Mr Diggory's mouth.Q2 - have you guys ever had a mountain pie?“Your father thinks very highly of Mad-Eye Moody,” said Mrs Weasley sternly. “Yeah, well Dad collects plugs, doesn't he?” said Fred quietly, as Mrs Weasley left the room. “Birds of a feather.”Q3 - Which is your favorite Weasley?Q4 - What is your favorite part of the books?Q5 - You don't know a ton about Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, but which would you rather go to?“But Hogwarts is hidden,” said Hermione, in surprise, “Everyone who's read Hogwarts: A History, anyway.” “Just you, then,” said Ron. “If a Muggle looks at it, all they see is a moldering old ruin with a sign over the entrance saying DANGER, DO NOT ENTER, UNSAFE.”Q6 - Is this sign keeping you out?Q7 - What do you think of the summoning charm?Q8 - Would you wear Ron's robes?Chapter 12 - The Triwizard TournamentQ1 - Do you like Peeves?Q2 - What's the best prank you ever pulled?“Now slip me snug around your ears, I've never yet been wrong, I'll have a look inside your mind and tell you where you belong!”Q3 - Thoughts on Dennis Creevey?“There are house-elves here?” she said….”Certainly,” said Nearly Headless Nick, looking surprised at her reaction. “The largest number in any dwelling in Britain, I believe. Over a hundred.”Q4 - What are your thoughts on Hogwarts having house elves?A man stood in the doorway, leaning upon a long staff, shrouded in a black traveling cloak. Every head in the Great Hall swiveled toward the stranger, suddenly brightly illuminated by a fork of lightning that flashed across the ceiling. He lowered his hood, shook out a long mane of grizzled, dark gray hair, then began to walk up toward the teachers' table. A dull clunk echoed through the Hall on his every other step. He reached the end of the top table, turned right, and limped heavily toward Dumbledore. Another flash of lightning crossed the ceiling. Hermione gasped. The lightning had thrown the man's face into sharp relief, and it was a face unlike any Harry had ever seen. It looked as though it had been carved out of weathered wood by someone who had only the vaguest idea of what human faces are supposed to look like, and was none too skilled with a chisel. Every inch of skin seemed to be scarred. The mouth looked like a diagonal gash, and a large chunk of the nose was missing. But it was the man's eyes that made him frightening. One of them was small, dark, and beady. The other was large, round as a coin, and a vivid, electric blue. The blue eye was moving ceaselessly, without blinking, and was rolling up, down, and from side to side, quite independently of the normal eye - and then it rolled right over, pointing into the back of the man's head, so that all they could see was whiteness.Q5 - Is this her best description of someone that she's given so far?“It is my pleasure to inform you that the Triwizard tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year.” “You're joking!” said Fred Weasley loudly. The tension that had filled the hall every since Moody's arrival suddenly broke. Nearly everyone laughed, and Dumbledore chuckled appreciatively. “I am not joking, Mr Weasley.” he said, “though, now that you mention is, I did hear an excellent one over the summer about a troll, a hag, and a leprechaun who all go into a bar —” Professor McGonagall cleared her throat loudly.Q6 - What are your thoughts on the Triwizard Tournament and what do you think they'll have to do in it?Q7 - Neville falls through a trap step…why does Hogwarts have these?Chapter 13 - Mad-Eye MoodyQ1 - Would you want to squeeze the pus out of a bubotuber?Q2 - Which lesson would you rather go to—care of magical creatures or herbology?You are preoccupied, my dear. My Inner Eye sees past your brave face to the troubled soul within. And I regret to say that your worries are not baseless. I see difficult times ahead for you, alas… most difficult… I fear the thing you dread will indeed come to pass… and perhaps sooner than you think.”Q3 - What do you think Trelawney is talking about here?“I was saying, my dear, that you were clearly born under the baleful influence of Saturn,” said Professor Trelawney, a faint note of resentment in her voice at the fact that he had obviously not been hanging on her words. “Born under — what, sorry?” said Harry. “Saturn, dear, the planet Saturn!” said Professor Trelawney, sounding definitely irritated that he wasn't riveted by this news. “I was saying that Saturn was surely in a position of power in the heavens at the moment of your birth… Your dark hair… your mean stature… tragic losses so young in life… I think I am right in saying, my dear, that you were born in midwinter?” “No,” said Harry, “I was born in July.”Q4 - Trelawney is wrong.“Oh, professor, look! I think I've got an unaspected planet! Oooh, which one's that, Professor?” “It's Uranus, my dear,” said Professor Trelawney peering down at the chart. “Can I have a look at Uranus, too, Lavender?” said Ron.Q5 - Do you still like Rita Skeeter? Do you think her portrayal of Moody is accurate? (A handshake from attempted murder)“Professor Moody!” said a shicked voice. Professor McGonagall was coing down the marble staircase with her arms full of books. “Hello, Professor McGonagall,” said Moody calmly bounding the ferret still higher. “What — what are you doing?” said Professor McGonagall, her eyes following the bouncing ferrets progress through the air. “Teaching,” said Moody. “Teach — Moody, is that a student?” shrieked Professor McGonagall, the books spilling out of her arms.Q6 - What do you think of Moody?Chapter 14 - The Unforgivable Curses“So…do any of you know which curses are most heavily punished by wizarding law?”Q1 - Should Moody be teaching them these things?Q2 - Thoughts on the imperious curse?“Some job for the Ministry, trying to sort out who was being forced to act, and who was acting of their own free will?”Q3 - How do you think the ministry did this?Hermione's hand flew into the air again and so, to Harry's slight surprise, did Neville's…Neville looked surprised at his own daring. “Yes?” said Moody, his magical eye rolling over to fix on Neville. “There's one — the Cruciatus Curse,” said Neville, in a small but very distinct voice. Moody was looking very intently at Neville, this time with both eyes. “Your name's Longbottom?” he said, his magical eye swooping down to check the register again. Q4 - Thoughts on the Cruciatus Curse?“Not nice,” he said calmly. “Not pleasant. And there's no counter-curse. There's no blocking it. Only one known person has ever survived it, and he's sitting right in front of me.”Q5 - What are your thoughts on the killing curse?Q6 - What do you think this means to Harry to know?Q7 - Do you side with the students in thinking this was a good lesson, or with Harry and Hermione?“You've got to know. It seems harsh, maybe, but you've got to know. No point pretending.Q8 - What do you think about Neville?“No—that sounds like we're accusing him. Got to be careful…”Q9 - What are Fred and George up to?Q10 - What do you think of Harry and Ron's predictions, and what would you predict about yourself?“You're treasurer, Ron. I got you a collecting tin upstairs — and Harry, you're secretary, so you might want to write down everything I'm saying now, as a record of our first meeting.”Q11 - Why is Harry such a bad pet owner?Q12 - Do you think Sirius coming back is a good thing?The dormitory was completely silent, and, had he been less preoccupied, Harry would have realized that the absence of Neville's usual snores meant that he was not the only one lying awake.Q13 - Why is Neville awake?Chapter 15 - Beaubatons and DurmstrangQ1 - Do you think Dumbledore really wants Moody to teach these things, or is he just using the name of Dumbledore as an excuse to teach what he wants?Q2 - Why do you think Harry was able to resist the Imperius curse when everyone else in the class couldn't?“Well, the Heads of the participating schools are always on the panel,” said Hermione, and everyone looked around at her, rather surprised, “because all three of them were injured during the Tournament of 1792, when a cockatrice the champions were supposed to be catching went on the rampage.”Q3 - What do you think a cockatrice is?“Will you inform zis ‘agrid zat ze ‘orses drink only single malt whisky?”Q4 - How drunk are these horses?Q5 - Which school entrance do you like better?Karkaroff beckoned forward on of his students. As the boy passed, Harry caught a glimpse of a prominent, curved nose and thick black eyebrows. He didn't need the punch on the arm Ron gave him, or the hiss in the ear, to recognize that profile. “Harry—it's Krum!”Q6 - What do you think of Victor Krum being a student at Durmstrang?

Chapter 19 - The Servant of Lord Voldemort“YOU'RE PATHETIC!” Harry yelled. “JUST BECAUSE THEY MADE A FOOL OF YOU AT SCHOOL YOU WON'T EVEN LISTEN _” “SILENCE! I WILL NOT BE SPOKEN TO LIKE THAT!' Snape shrieked, looking madder than ever. "Like father, like son, Potter! I have just saved your neck, you should be thanking me on bended knee! You would have been well served if he'd killed you! You'd have died like your father, too arrogant to believe you might be mistaken in Black. Now get out of the way or I will make you.”Q1 - What do you think of both Harry and Snape's statements?Q2 - Were they right to attack a teacher?"Harry I as good as killed them; he croaked. I persuaded Lily and James to change to Peter at the last moment, persuaded them to use him as Secret Keeper instead of me ... I'm to blame, I know it ... the night they died, I'd arranged to check on Peter, make sure he was still safe, but when I arrived at his hiding place, he'd gone. Yet there was no sign of a struggle. It didn't feel right. I was scared. I set out for your parents' house straight away. And when I saw their house, destroyed, and their bodies - I realized what Peter must have done. What I'd done. His voice broke. He turned away.”Q3 - What do you think of this whole story so far?Q4 - Do you get the secret keeper thing still?Harry remembered what Mr Weasley had told Mrs Weasley. “The guards say he's been talking in his sleep …. always the same words... "He's at Hogwarts.” “It was as if someone had lit a fire in my head, and the Dementors couldn't destroy it…it wasn't a happy feeling…it was an obsession…but it gave me strength, it cleared my mind. So, one night when they opened my door to bring food, I slipped past them as a dog…it's so much harder for them to sense animal emotions that they were confused…I was thin, very thin…thin enough to slip through the bars…I swam as a dog back to the mainland I journeyed north and slipped into the Hogwarts grounds as a dog…I've been living in the Forest ever since…except when I come to watch the Quidditch, of course…you fly as well as your father did, Harry…He looked at Harry who did not look away. Believe me croaked black believe me. I never betrayed James and lily. I would have died before I betrayed them. And at long last, Harry believed him. Throat too tight to speak, he nodded. Q5 - Is Ron nuts for letting Scabbers sleep in his bed?Q6 - Why would Harry change his murderous tone after learning of all this, is he right to show mercy to Pettigrew?Q7 - What are your thoughts on Pettigrew, Lupin, James, and Sirius now?Chapter 20 - The Dementor's Kiss“But I'm also — I don't know if anyone's ever told you — I'm your godfather.” “Yeah, I knew that,” said Harry. “Well…your parents appointed me your guardian,” said Sirius stiffly. “If anything happened to them…” Harry waited. Did Sirius mean what he thought he meant? “I'll understand, of course, if you want to stay with your aunt and uncle,” said Sirius. “But…well…think about it. Once my name's cleared…if you wanted a…a different home…”Q1 - Is it at all crazy that Harry now is okay with living with Sirius?Q2 - Do you think it's feasible that someone like Lupin forgot to take his potion?Q3 - What did you think Harry's patronus was on finishing this chapter?Q4 - Who did you think cast the patronus on your first read?Chapter 21 - Hermione's Secret“You surely don't believe a word of Black's story?” Snape whispered, his eyes fixed on Dumbledore's face. “I wish to speak to Harry and Hermione alone,” Dumbledore repeated.Q1 - What do you think about the dynamic between Snape and Dumbledore in this book?“But you believe us.” “Yes I do,” said Dumbledore quietly. “But I have no power to make other men see the truth.”Q2 - What do you think of the time turner?Q3 - Have you ever felt like you ran into a past or future version of yourself?Q4 - What would you do if you had one day with the time turner?REDDIT - alphaWLFgang1 - For me it's like someone asking that question if I'd rather have all the time in the world, or all the money in the world. My answer to that question is all the time in the world. With all the time in the world, if I wanted to be rich and have all the money in the world, I could do that. So for me, having a time-turner, I feel like I would be able to either own multiple companies or have multiple jobs while still spending time with family. Obviously it'd be tricky living that way and making sure I don't go crazy, but that's what I'd try to do at the most. Just being able to be more than one place at a time and be even more productive would open countless opportunities.“Macnair, if Buckbeak has indeed been stolen, do you really think the thief will have led him away on foot?” said Dumbledore, still sounding amused. “Search the skies, if you will…Hagrid, I could do with a cup of tea. Or a large brandy.”Q5 - Do you think Dumbledore was just playing here, or did he assume Harry would fly Buckbeak away?“Yeah, I saw him,” said Harry slowly. “But…maybe I imagined it…I wasn't thinking straight…I passed out right afterwards…” “Who did you think it was?” “I think—” Harry swallowed, knowing how strange this was going to sound. “I think it was my dad.”Q6 - Hermione's response is that Harry's dad is dead, is she the single worst comfort giver on the face of the planet?Q7 - Did you think this might have been James at this point?“We'll see each other again,” he said. “You truly are — truly your father's son, Harry…”Q8 - Should their goodbye have been a little longer?Chapter 22 - Owl Post AgainDumbledore looked up, and a wide smile appeared under the long silver mustache. “Well?” he said quietly. “We did it!” said Harry breathlessly. “Sirius has gone, on Buckbeak…” “Well done.”“Well, there you have it, Severus,” said Dumbledore calmly. “Unless you are suggesting that Harry and Hermione are able to be in two places at once, I'm afraid I don't see any point in troubling them further.”Q1 - Do you think Snape is good?“Perhaps we should think about dragons at the school entrance…”Q2 - Do you think Fudge is serious?“Yes, your father was always a stag when he transformed,” he said. “You guessed right…that's why we called him prongs.”“Didn't make any difference?” said Dumbledore quietly. “It made all the difference in the world, Harry. You helped uncover the truth. You saved an innocent man from a terrible fate.”Q3 - Do you think Dumbledore or Harry is more right here? Did Harry actually do anything of worth?“Do you know, Harry, I think she might have been,” he said thoughtfully. “Who'd have thought it? That brings her total of real predictions up to two. I should offer her a pay rise…”Q4 - After Dumbledore even thinks she's only had two real predictions, do you think Trelawney is a fraud or actually good?“Pettigrew owes his life to you. You have sent Voldemort a deputy who is in your debt. When one wizard saves another wizard's life, it creates a certain bond between them…and I'm much mistaken if Voldemort wants his servant in the dept of Harry Potter.” “I don't want a bond with Pettigrew!” said Harry. “He betrayed my parents!” “This is magic at its deepest, its most impenetrable, Harry. But trust me…the time may come when you will be very glad you saved Pettigrews life.”Q5 - What do you think Dumbledore is talking about here?“You think the dead we have loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don't remember them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself most plainly when you have need of him. How else could you produce that particular Patronus? Prongs rode again last night…So you did see your father last night, Harry…You found him inside yourself.”Q6 - Do you think Dumbledore is right here? “I'll fix it up with Mum and Dad, then I'll call you. I know how to use the fellytone now—” “A telephone, Ron,” said Hermione. “Honestly, you should take Muggle studies next year…”Q7 - Should witches and wizards be required to take muggle studies?Q8 - The quidditch world cup is happening next summer, what countries would you guess are quidditch powerhouses?Q9 - How'd you like this book?

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? (aka, what frightens you?)“It's always best to have company when you're dealing with a Boggart.”“I would like all of you to take a moment now to think of the thing that scares you most, and imagine how you might force it to look comical?”Q9 - How would you change your biggest fear into something humorous?Q10 - What is Lupin afraid of?“What would it have been for you?” said Ron, sniggering. “A piece of homework that only got nine out of ten?”Chapter 8 - Flight of the Fat LadyQ1 - How do you think the Fat Lady feels that she is just known as the Fat Lady?“Well, look at it logically,” said Hermione turning to the rest of the group. “I mean, Binky didn't even die today, did he, Lavender just got the news today —” Lavender wailed loudy, “—and she can't have been dreading it, because it's come as a real shock—” “Don't mind Hermione, Lavender,” said Ron loudly, “she doesn't think other people's pets matter very much.”Q2 - Is Hermione a good pet owner?Q3 - If you started a magical shop in Hogsmeade, what would it be?He thought for a moment of telling Lupin about the dog he'd seen in Magnolia Crescent, but decided not to. 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?!

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing why Lord Voldemort didn't attack the Longbottom family after the prophecy, which inevitably upended the life of Harry Potter. As many of you will know, the trajectory of Harry's life was determined before he was even born. For, just weeks before his birth on July 31 in the year of 1980, a somewhat inadequate soothsayer named Sybill Patricia Trelawney provided the wizarding world with a prediction that would forever change the course of history. She gave an authentic prophecy, that would one day go on to become infamous, while meeting with Professor Albus Dumbledore at the Hog's Head Inn. After going into a trance-like state during the meeting, which was actually an informal interview for the Hogwarts' Divination teaching position.  Based on Trelawney's appointment of the Divination Professor soon-after, it's believed that she made this prophecy in June of 1980—mere weeks before the birth of Harry Potter.  After Harry's birth, the reasons for Voldemort targeting the Potter family are rather easy to explain. Most obviously, Harry was born on July 31—the end of the seventh month. As for the “born to those who have thrice defied him” bit—that's a bit less obvious. But we do know that Lily and James Potter—Harry's parents—were both asked to join the Death Eaters while at Hogwarts and turned down the invitations. They were also part of the original Order of the Phoenix, which means they would have been part of the missions to fight against Voldemort and his followers. As the war against the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters was ongoing, they most certainly had many opportunities to defy Voldemort repeatedly.  So, all of this adds up as to why Voldemort targeted the Potter family and believed Harry to be the wizard described in Trelawney's prophecy. BUT the real question is: why didn't he ALSO go after the Longbottoms? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Uptown FUNK When you think Jamaican rum, you think funk. Funny thing is, most Jamaican rum by both volume and number of distillers is not funky.  BTW - funky is the unscientific way of saying ester content. All those fruity, dark, tropical, funky notes are esters, the interactions and transformations of acids and alcohols and aldehydes into the familiar flavor compounds we love.  Hampden Estate, however, is the funkiest of them all.  Originally built in 1753, Hampden has been producing Trelawney-style rum (named for its province in Jamaica) continuously for closer to three centuries than two. For nearly that entire history, though, they produced rum and rum extracts for other bottlers, lending their flavors to everything from blended rum to confectionary to perfumes. Had rum cake? Hampden. Rum-flavored anything? Chances are, Hampden.  After the Hussey family bought Hampden in 2009, they made the massive decision to bottle their own rum for the first time. Most of their production is still dedicated to blends and rectifiers - they're phasing out independent bottlers - and the results so far have been spectacular. In 2023, they gave the rum world a love letter with their 8 Marks Collection, to be repeated in 2024. Nerdiness abounds, with everything you could want to know about every mark in the Hampden lineup.  This was a hell of an episode, and I can't wait to do the follow-up.  Thanks everyone for listening, and thank you to Kate for entering the Whiskey Ring! _________________________________________________________ If you haven't joined the Patreon community yet, please consider doing so!  If you haven't yet, please follow Whiskey in my Wedding Ring and the Whiskey Ring Podcast on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, and subscribe to the newsletter on the website.  Hampden Estate Rum Hampden Estate Rum Website Hampden Estate Rum on Instagram Hampden Estate Rum on Facebook Thanks to our Lead Sponsor, Black Button Distillery  Black Button Distilling Website Black Button Distilling on Facebook Black Button Distilling on Instagram Thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, ImpEx Beverages https://impexbev.com ImpEx on Instagram ImpEx on Facebook ImpEx on Twitter

This week, it's a competence competition between several Hogwarts professors. As Harry attends his first day of his fourth year, we follow along and rank each class and its teacher. Finally, Draco bites off more than he can chew, and we remember that we love Barty Crouch, Jr. when he cosplays an ex-Auror. Join Andrew, Eric, Laura and Micah as Chapter-by-Chapter covers Chapter 13 from Goblet of Fire, “Mad-Eye Moody.” In this week's news, Deadline reports that the Harry Potter TV series is looking for its head writers. The hosts briefly speculate - Stay tuned for a Bonus MuggleCast in which we take a closer look at the writers under consideration. Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Goblet of Fire Chapter 13: Mad-Eye Moody 7-Word Summary: Karma comes full ferret for Draco Malfoy Back in school, it's time to rank the first lessons of the year and assess teachers' competence! Micah asks: given the usefulness of Bubotuber pus, does Professor Sprout have a side hustle? What makes Sprout's gross lesson soar, and Hagrid's gross lesson fail? One of the teachers prepared the students better. Is it okay to ask “what is the point” when discussing magical Beasts? Would Hagrid be better off as a teacher's assistant, or outside of teaching at all? Trelawney, the most competent Divination teacher Harry has had so far, gets his birthday wrong. Couldn't she have looked it up? Rita Skeeter's new article shades Mr. Weasley, but wasn't he just doing his job? How was the event with Moody's rubbish bins any different than his day-to-day? How is Rita getting her information? Does she have inside sources, or is she using her Animagus secret to its advantage this early? Draco can dish, but not take, criticism about mothers. Is it right for “Moody” to teach Draco a lesson? Laura points out that Barty Crouch Jr.'s comments about Lucius work on multiple levels. What would Barty Crouch, Jr. have to say to Snape? Andrew recaps Ron's funniest moments of the chapter. Next week's Quizzitch question: What is Lavender showing Parvati in DADA that gets her scolded by Mad-Eye?

Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Goblet of Fire, Chapter 10: Mayhem At The Ministry 7-Word Summary: Arthur laments over a problematic news cycle Main Discussion #1: The Aftermath Security Nightmare! Why did any witch or wizard hang around after the Death Eater attack? Evacuation plans should've been in place and activated! We examine the exploitation of Mr. Roberts by both the Death Eaters and The Ministry. Why was he not taken to St. Mungo's? Could they have used a Pensieve to remove the memory of the attack? Freaking Out Molly: Had the author not conceptualized Patronus messaging yet? And not ONE Weasley could have gone home early? Main Discussion #2: Rita Skeeter, Unethical Journalism & Ministry Blunders We discuss Rita's ability to acquire information being aided significantly by her being an unregistered animagus Just WHAT do beetles represent? Does Rita's journalism, unethical at times though it is, do an actual public service in the case of both of the Quidditch World Cup and the disappearance of Bertha Jorkins? Molly clearly recognizes that Rita is a hack, but later on in Goblet of Fire she laps up every lie printed about Hermione. Why? Obviously, we're familiar with the real-world consequences of this brand of journalism. Have any of the hosts ever been caught up in following salacious, gossip-based reporting? Have we ever caught ourselves pulling a Mrs. Weasley: either dismissing or assigning merit to a piece of reporting based on whether it reinforced our personal beliefs? Odds & Ends cover Mundungus Fletcher, Ron's dress robes, Trelawney's prophecy and more! Quizzitch: What spell does Hermione start learning on the Hogwarts Express (in Harry's fourth year)?

We're diving back into the binge of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with chapter 6, Talons and Tealeaves. For this discussion I'm joined by Dan from Hogwarts: A Podcast (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hogwarts-a-podcast). This is the chapter where Trelawney predicts Harry's death in Divination class because she sees a big black dog aka the Grim in a teacup. Then Hagrid makes Harry ride a Hippogriff named Buckbeak after he successfully pets him in Care of Magical Creatures. Unfortunately, Draco Malfoy isn't a fan of Harry getting attention or in paying attention to Hagrid's warnings. So, he insults Buckbeak and gets clawed up as a result of his actions. Throughout the discussion we'll rate Draco's ability as a school bully. Dan will defend Trelawney's abilities as a teacher and seer. We'll talk about Hagrid's qualification for teaching, Dumbledore's loose ship, how there must be good Slytherins we don't see and a lot of other fun stuff!

In this episode, we discuss different Greek myths that appear in Harry Potter. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      2:25 The Basilisk and Medusa. Medusa has snakes for hair and the basilisk is a snake. They both petrify with their eyes. But what would happen if they looked into each other eyes? There's no way to know for sure, but Medusa was die instantly and the basilisk would begin to petrify but would live because Medusa would die for it could turn to stone entirely. ·      8:33 Hermione. Hermione was the daughter of Helen of Troy, and there are some parallels in their love lives. Hermione of Troy was set to marry Orestes, her cousin, but during the Trojan War, she was instead promised to Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles. They got married, but he was soon killed and Hermione could marry Orestes in piece. This resembles Hermione Granger's experience was Cormac McLaggen and Ron? No one dies, but it takes a war for Hermione of Troy to finally be with Orestes, and so it does for Ron and Hermione. Read more here.·      15:01 Professor McGonagall and Minerva. Minerva was the ancient Roman goddess of wisdom and defensive war. She also looks over metal work, pottery, and using materials for good. McGonagall did just this when she cast Piertotem Locomotor and brought the statues to life.·      18:26 Quirrell and Janus. Janus was the Roman god of beginnings and endings, gateways and entrances. He is sometimes called Janus Quirinus which also happens to be Quirrell's first name. Janus has two heads as well, with one head telling the truth and the other not. Sound familiar?·      22:42 Fluffy and Cerberus. Cerberus was a giant three headed dog that guarded the Underworld. Fluffy is a giant three headed dog that guarded the Sorcerer's Stone. This is a simple one. ·      24:56 Trelawney and Cassandra. Cassandra was a Trojan princess who was cursed by Apollo to be able to see the future but never be believed. That already sounds like someone we know. We also know that Trelawney has a great-great-grandmother named Cassandra. Maybe sight runs in the family.  Having anything you want to hear or say?

Main Discussion: Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 17: Cat, Rat and Dog 7-Word Summary: Sirius attacks Ron viciously when Scabbers appears  Do we think the attack was premeditated? Was Crookshanks actively shadowing Harry, Ron and Hermione waiting for Scabbers to reappear?  Animagus Sirius is really strong! Despite his weak, ragged human condition, how does he drag a (nearly) fully grown person, pulling so hard he breaks Ron's leg?  Why doesn't Sirius come clean immediately with Harry, Ron and Hermione? What must Hermione be thinking when Crookshanks protectively leaps on Sirius's chest? And just how have Sirius and Crookshanks been communicating? Harry is too young to know the Unforgivable Curses. How is he planning to kill Sirius? Could the Horcrux be influencing his emotional state? Why would Sirius not have told Lupin the truth about the Secret Keeper Switch?  Hermione and Ron SOUND OFF on Lupin! We examine their biases in depth! Strong threads are connected between lycanthropy and the HIV/AIDS epidemic Hagrid, Trelawney, Lupin: how do we feel about Dumbledore's hires?

(@ProfW on TikTok), who teaches a college course on Harry Potter and who shares his awesome thoughts on TikTok! The hosts dive in to chapter 16 of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, "Professor Trelawney's Prediction." We examine Trelawney's brand of divination and question whether she has ever been right to her knowledge. Is Dumbledore to blame for what kind of teacher she has become?

Main Discussion: Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 16: Professor Trelawney's Prediction 7-Word Summary: Exams consume clairvoyance and shocking revelations, executions Hermione's exam schedule is the biggest example yet of her secretive methods, why do Ron and Harry not say something? Buckbeak's appeal looms, but the executioner is coming. Should Ron have spoken his mind to Fudge? Some hosts believe that Hagrid gives Dumbledore WAY too much credit. Should Dumbledore have put a stop to the whole Buckbeak incident? What did Parvati Patil do to impress Trelawney so much? Why does Ron fail but Harry skate by on his? Andrew catches something amazing about the circumstances surrounding both Trelawney predictions. Harry feels "unreal." Would this have something to do with there being *two* of him, we wonder? Odds and Ends features a particular pair of footsteps... Quizzitch: What spell does Sirius Black use on Harry and Hermione?

Harry quickly grows obsessive over hating Sirius Black. How much could his Horcrux be fueling these emotions? Why didn't anyone ever tell Harry that the reason James and Lily Potter died was because their best friend Sirius had betrayed them? We discuss how in both Prisoner of Azkaban and Order of the Phoenix, Harry not being given information negatively impacts his mental health and leads to reckless decision-making!
