Chapter 29 - The Lost Diadem“Alecto, Amycus's sister, teaches Muggle Studies, which is compulsory for everyone. We've all got to listen to her explain how Muggles are like animals, stupid and dirty, and how they drove wizards into hiding by being vicious toward them, and how the natural order is being reestablished. I got this one,” he indicated another slash to his face, “for asking her how much Muggle blood she and her brother have got.”Q1 - Obviously not entertaining Death Eater ideas, but do they have any kind of point?Thing was,” he faced them, and Harry was astonished to see that he was grinning, “they bit off a bit more than they could chew with Gran. Little old witch living alone, they probably thought they didn't need to send anyone particularly powerful. Anyway,” Neville laughed, “Dawlish is still in St. Mungo's and Gran's on the run. She sent me a letter,” he clapped a hand to the breast pocket of his robes, “telling me she was proud of me, that I'm my parents' son, and to keep it up.”Q2 - What do you think of all the students rebelling at Hogwarts?Q3 - What do you think about the Room of Requirement hideout?“There's something important we need to do —” “What is it?” “I — I can't tell you.” There was a ripple of muttering at this: Neville's brows contracted. “Why can't you tell us? It's something to do with fighting YouKnow-Who, right?” “Well, yeah —” “Then we'll help you.” The other members of Dumbledore's Army were nodding, some enthusiastically, others solemnly. A couple of them rose from their chairs to demonstrate their willingness for immediate action. “You don't understand.” Harry seemed to have said that a lot in the last few hours. “We — we can't tell you. We've got to do it — alone.” Q4 - Is it good they're being so secretive? Harry looked from Ron to Hermione, who murmured, “I think Ron's right. We don't even know what we're looking for, we need them.” And when Harry looked unconvinced, “You don't have to do everything alone, Harry.” Q5 - Should they tell?Q6 - Where is the Diadem?“Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?” “Hmm . . . What do you think, Harry?” said Luna, looking thoughtful. “What? Isn't there just a password?” “Oh no, you've got to answer a question,” said Luna. “What if you get it wrong?” “Well, you have to wait for somebody who gets it right,” said Luna. “That way you learn, you see?” “Yeah . . . Trouble is, we can't really afford to wait for anyone else, Luna.” “No, I see what you mean,” said Luna seriously. “Well then, I think the answer is that a circle has no beginning.” Q7 - What do you think about the Ravenclaw tower's entrance?Harry stepped out from under the Cloak and climbed up onto Ravenclaw's plinth to read them. “‘Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.'” “Which makes you pretty skint, witless,” said a cackling voice. Harry whirled around, slipped off the plinth, and landed on the floor. The sloping-shouldered figure of Alecto Carrow was standing before him, and even as Harry raised his wand, she pressed a stubby forefinger to the skull and snake branded on her forearm. Chapter 30 - The Sacking of Severus Snape“We can push it off on the kids,” said Amycus, his piglike face suddenly crafty. “Yeah, that's what we'll do. We'll say Alecto was ambushed by the kids, them kids up there” — he looked up at the starry ceiling toward the dormitories — “and we'll say they forced her to press her Mark, and that's why he got a false alarm. . . . He can punish them. Couple of kids more or less, what's the difference?” “Only the difference between truth and lies, courage and cowardice,” said Professor McGonagall, who had turned pale, “a difference, in short, which you and your sister seem unable to appreciate. But let me make one thing very clear. You are not going to pass off your many ineptitudes on the students of Hogwarts. I shall not permit it.” Q1 - Thoughts on McGongall and the Carrows?“It's not a case of what you'll permit, Minerva McGonagall. Your time's over. It's us what's in charge here now, and you'll back me up or you'll pay the price.” And he spat in her face. Harry pulled the Cloak off himself, raised his wand, and said, “You shouldn't have done that.” As Amycus spun around, Harry shouted, “Crucio!” Q2 - Should Harry have used crucio?“Time's running out, Voldemort's getting nearer. Professor, I'm acting on Dumbledore's orders, I must find what he wanted me to find! But we've got to get the students out while I'm searching the castle — it's me Voldemort wants, but he won't care about killing a few more or less, not now —” not now he knows I'm attacking Horcruxes, Harry finished the sentence in his head. “You're acting on Dumbledore's orders?” she repeated with a look of dawning wonder. Then she drew herself up to her fullest height. “We shall secure the school against He-Who-Must-Not-BeNamed while you search for this — this object.” “Is that possible?” “I think so,” said Professor McGonagall dryly, “we teachers are rather good at magic, you know. I am sure we will be able to hold him off for a while if we all put our best efforts into it. Of course, something will have to be done about Professor Snape —” She marched toward the door, and as she did so she raised her wand. From the tip burst three silver cats with spectacle markings around their eyes. The Patronuses ran sleekly ahead, filling the spiral staircase with silvery light, as Professor McGonagall, Harry, and Luna hurried back down.Q3 - What was the doe Patronus?“No, he's not dead,” said McGonagall bitterly. “Unlike Dumbledore, he was still carrying a wand . . . and he seems to have learned a few tricks from his master.” With a tingle of horror, Harry saw in the distance a huge, batlike shape flying through the darkness toward the perimeter wall. There were heavy footfalls behind them, and a great deal of puffing: Slughorn had just caught up.Q4 - Is Snape as dark as Voldemort?“My word,” he puffed, pale and sweaty, his walrus mustache aquiver. “What a to-do! I'm not at all sure whether this is wise, Minerva. He is bound to find a way in, you know, and anyone who has tried to delay him will be in most grievous peril —” “I shall expect you and the Slytherins in the Great Hall in twenty minutes, also,” said Professor McGonagall. “If you wish to leave with your students, we shall not stop you. But if any of you attempt to sabotage our resistance or take up arms against us within this castle, then, Horace, we duel to kill.” “Minerva!” he said, aghast. “The time has come for Slytherin House to decide upon its loyalties,” interrupted Professor McGonagall. “Go and wake your students, Horace.”Q5 - Do we trust Slughorn?There was a scuffling and a great thump: Someone else had clambered out of the tunnel, overbalanced slightly, and fallen. He pulled himself up on the nearest chair, looked around through lopsided horn-rimmed glasses, and said, “Am I too late? Has it started? I only just found out, so I — I —” Percy spluttered into silence. Evidently he had not expected to run into most of his family.Q6 - Do we trust Percy? How do you like him coming back at this moment?“I was a fool!” Percy roared, so loudly that Lupin nearly dropped his photograph. “I was an idiot, I was a pompous prat, I was a — a —” “Ministry-loving, family-disowning, power-hungry moron,” said Fred. Percy swallowed. “Yes, I was!” “Well, you can't say fairer than that,” said Fred, holding out his hand to Percy. Mrs. Weasley burst into tears. She ran forward, pushed Fred aside, and pulled Percy into a strangling hug, while he patted her on the back, his eyes on his father. “Where's Ron?” asked Harry. “Where's Hermione?” “They must have gone up to the Great Hall already,” Mr. Weasley called over his shoulder. “I didn't see them pass me,” said Harry. “They said something about a bathroom,” said Ginny, “not long after you left.” “A bathroom?” Q7 - Where did they go?Chapter 31 - The Battle of HogwartsQ1 - What did you think of the students staying back to help and do they stand any chance against Voldemort and the Elder wand?“Well, help me, then!” Her composure was slipping. “It — it is not a question of —” she stammered. “My mother's diadem —” “Your mother's?” She looked angry with herself. “When I lived,” she said stiffly, “I was Helena Ravenclaw.” “You're her daughter? But then, you must know what happened to it!” Q2 - What do you think about the Grey Lady?“He tracked me to the forest where I was hiding. When I refused to return with him, he became violent. The Baron was always a hot-tempered man. Furious at my refusal, jealous of my freedom, he stabbed me.” “The Baron? You mean — ?” “The Bloody Baron, yes,” said the Gray Lady, and she lifted aside the cloak she wore to reveal a single dark wound in her white chest. “When he saw what he had done, he was overcome with remorse. He took the weapon that had claimed my life, and used it to kill himself. All these centuries later, he wears his chains as an act of penitence . . . as he should,” she added bitterly. Q3 - What do you think of her story?“He hid the diadem in the castle, the night he asked Dumbledore to let him teach!” said Harry. Saying it out loud enabled him to make sense of it all. “He must've hidden the diadem on his way up to, or down from, Dumbledore's office! But it was still worth trying to get the job — then he might've got the chance to nick Gryffindor's sword as well — thank you, thanks!” Q4 - Do you understand why he applied for the job now?“— attacking because they haven't handed you over, yeah,” said Aberforth, “I'm not deaf, the whole of Hogsmeade heard him. And it never occurred to any of you to keep a few Slytherins hostage? There are kids of Death Eaters you've just sent to safety. Wouldn't it have been a bit smarter to keep 'em here?” Q5 - Would you have kept a few Slytherins captive?“I was the last to come through,” said Mrs. Longbottom. “I sealed it, I think it unwise to leave it open now Aberforth has left his pub. Have you seen my grandson?” “He's fighting,” said Harry. “Naturally,” said the old lady proudly. “Excuse me, I must go and assist him.” With surprising speed she trotted off toward the stone steps. Q6 - Understand why I love Neville so much now?Q7 - What do you think of Crabbe and Goyle and Malfoy?And he saw them: Malfoy with his arms around the unconscious Goyle, the pair of them perched on a fragile tower of charred desks, and Harry dived. Malfoy saw him coming and raised one arm, but even as Harry grasped it he knew at once that it was no good: Goyle was too heavy and Malfoy's hand, covered in sweat, slid instantly out of Harry's — “IF WE DIE FOR THEM, I'LL KILL YOU, HARRY!” roared Ron's voice, and, as a great flaming chimaera bore down upon them, he and Hermione dragged Goyle onto their broom and rose, rolling and pitching, into the air once more as Malfoy clambered up behind Harry.Q8 - What do you think about Harry saving them and Crabbe dying?He pulled the diadem from his wrist and held it up. It was still hot, blackened with soot, but as he looked at it closely he was just able to make out the tiny words etched upon it: Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure. A bloodlike substance, dark and tarry, seemed to be leaking from the diadem. Suddenly Harry felt the thing vibrate violently, then break apart in his hands, and as it did so, he thought he heard the faintest, most distant scream of pain, echoing not from the grounds or the castle, but from the thing that had just fragmented in his fingers.Q9 - They're getting close…Nagini is only left?Then he heard a terrible cry that pulled at his insides, that expressed agony of a kind neither flame nor curse could cause, and he stood up, swaying, more frightened than he had been that day, more frightened, perhaps, than he had been in his life. . . . And Hermione was struggling to her feet in the wreckage, and three redheaded men were grouped on the ground where the wall had blasted apart. Harry grabbed Hermione's hand as they staggered and stumbled over stone and wood. “No — no — no!” someone was shouting. “No! Fred! No!” And Percy was shaking his brother, and Ron was kneeling beside them, and Fred's eyes stared without seeing, the ghost of his last laugh still etched upon his face. Q10 - RIP Fred…Chapter 32 - The Elder WandShe had pulled Ron behind a tapestry: They seemed to be wrestling together, and for one mad second Harry thought that they were embracing again; then he saw that Hermione was trying to restrain Ron, to stop him running after Percy. “Listen to me — LISTEN, RON!” “I wanna help — I wanna kill Death Eaters —” His face was contorted, smeared with dust and smoke, and he was shaking with rage and grief. “Ron, we're the only ones who can end it! Please — Ron — we need the snake, we've got to kill the snake!” said Hermione. But Harry knew how Ron felt: Pursuing another Horcrux could not bring the satisfaction of revenge; he too wanted to fight, to punish them, the people who had killed Fred, and he wanted to find the other Weasleys, and above all make sure, make quite sure, that Ginny was not — but he could not permit that idea to form in his mind — Q1 - What do you think of Ron's anger and grief here?Q2 - Is Hagrid dead?“How — how're we going to get in?” panted Ron. “I can — see the place — if we just had — Crookshanks again —” “Crookshanks?” wheezed Hermione, bent double, clutching her chest. “Are you a wizard, or what?”Q3 - Do you remember where you first read this line?“. . . my Lord, their resistance is crumbling —” “— and it is doing so without your help,” said Voldemort in his high, clear voice. “Skilled wizard though you are, Severus, I do not think you will make much difference now. We are almost there . . . almost.” “Let me find the boy. Let me bring you Potter. I know I can find him, my Lord. Please.” Snape did not speak. “Perhaps you already know it? You are a clever man, after all, Severus. You have been a good and faithful servant, and I regret what must happen.” “My Lord —” “The Elder Wand cannot serve me properly, Severus, because I am not its true master. The Elder Wand belongs to the wizard who killed its last owner. You killed Albus Dumbledore. While you live, Severus, the Elder Wand cannot be truly mine.” “My Lord!” Snape protested, raising his wand. “It cannot be any other way,” said Voldemort. “I must master the wand, Severus. Master the wand, and I master Potter at last.” And Voldemort swiped the air with the Elder Wand. It did nothing to Snape, who for a split second seemed to think he had been reprieved: But then Voldemort's intention became clear. The snake's cage was rolling through the air, and before Snape could do anything more than yell, it had encased him, head and shoulders, and Voldemort spoke in Parseltongue. “Kill.” Q4 - Initially you were happy Snape died…has your tune changed?Harry took off the Invisibility Cloak and looked down upon the man he hated, whose widening black eyes found Harry as he tried to speak. Harry bent over him, and Snape seized the front of his robes and pulled him close. A terrible rasping, gurgling noise issued from Snape's throat. “Take . . . it. . . . Take . . . it. . . .” Something more than blood was leaking from Snape. Silvery blue, neither gas nor liquid, it gushed from his mouth and his ears and his eyes, and Harry knew what it was, but did not know what to do — A flask, conjured from thin air, was thrust into his shaking hands by Hermione. Harry lifted the silvery substance into it with his wand. When the flask was full to the brim, and Snape looked as though there was no blood left in him, his grip on Harry's robes slackened. “Look . . . at . . . me. . . .” he whispered. The green eyes found the black, but after a second, something in the depths of the dark pair seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed, blank, and empty. The hand holding Harry thudded to the floor, and Snape moved no more. Q6 - What do you think?Q7 - Voldemort owns the Elder Wand now?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the history of the magical beings known as Veela. Within the wizarding world of Harry Potter, we never learn all that much about the mysterious and exceptionally beautiful humanoid species called the Veela. In fact, much of what we do know about these magical beings revolves entirely around their physical appearance, with their description given in great detail several times over the course of the books and films, but specifically throughout The Goblet of Fire. This fourth instalment of the series is the first time Harry, alongside us Muggles, are introduced to the idea of the Veela. Here, before we even reach 100 pages of the novel, the Veela come prancing onto the page after being announced as the Bulgarian Quidditch team's mascots during the 1994 Quidditch World Cup. This is, of course, the chapter in which Harry attends the World Cup alongside the Weasleys and Hermione Granger. Now, up until that time, Harry was completely unfamiliar with the Veela and seems to be rather confused when Arthur Weasley announces that they are the Bulgarian team's mascots. However, before he could ask Mr. Weasley what they were exactly, a group of these magical beings took to the pitch. This, as you may remember, effectively answered Harry's question, as described in the following excerpt from the novel: Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chapter 5 - An Excess of PhlegmQ1 - Tonks seems really sad and out of it at the beginning of this chapter…why?‘What do you like me to call you when we're alone together?' Even by the dim light of the lantern Harry could tell that Mrs Weasley had turned bright red; he himself felt suddenly warm around the ears and neck, and hastily gulped soup, clattering his spoon as loudly as he could against the bowl. ‘Mollywobbles,' whispered a mortified Mrs Weasley into the crack at the edge of the door. ‘Correct,' said Mr Weasley. ‘Now you can let me in.'Q2 - What do you think of Mollywobbles?Mrs Weasley made a noise that sounded like ‘tchah!' ‘Mum hates her,' said Ginny quietly. ‘I do not hate her!' said Mrs Weasley in a cross whisper. ‘I just think they've hurried into this engagement, that's all!' ‘They've known each other a year,' said Ron, who looked oddly groggy and was staring at the closed door. ‘Well, that's not very long! I know why it's happened, of course.Q3 - What do you think of Fleur coming back into the story?‘Nobody knows what it said, though,' said Hermione quickly. ‘It got smashed.' ‘Although the Prophet says –' began Ron, but Hermione said, ‘Shh!' ‘The Prophet's got it right,' said Harry, looking up at them both with a great effort: Hermione seemed frightened and Ron amazed. ‘That glass ball that smashed wasn't the only record of the prophecy. I heard the whole thing in Dumbledore's office, he was the one the prophecy was made to, so he could tell me. From what it said,' Harry took a deep breath, ‘it looks like I'm the one who's got to finish off Voldemort … at least, it said neither of us could live while the other survives.' The three of them gazed at each other in silence for a moment.Q4 - What do you think of Harry telling Ron and Hermione the prophecy?Harry did not really listen. A warmth was spreading through him that had nothing to do with the sunlight; a tight obstruction in his chest seemed to be dissolving. He knew that Ron and Hermione were more shocked than they were letting on, but the mere fact that they were still there on either side of him, speaking bracing words of comfort, not shrinking from him as though he were contaminated or dangerous, was worth more than he could ever tell them.Q5 - Why do you think Harry is feeling this?Q6 - What do you think of Harry's OWL results?Q7 - Do you remember what you got on your SATs?Harry looked back down at his results. They were as good as he could have hoped for. He felt just one tiny twinge of regret … this was the end of his ambition to become an Auror. He had not secured the required Potions grade. He had known all along that he wouldn't, but he still felt a sinking in his stomach as he looked again at that small black ‘E'.Q8 - So Harry can't become an Auror, what career path will he go down now?Chapter 6 - Draco's DetourHe spent most of his days playing two-a-side Quidditch in the Weasleys' orchard (he and Hermione against Ron and Ginny; Hermione was dreadful and Ginny good, so they were reasonably well-matched).Q1 - How much does Ron suck at Quidditch?‘And they've found Igor Karkaroff's body in a shack up north. The Dark Mark had been set over it – well, frankly, I'm surprised he stayed alive for even a year after deserting the Death Eaters; Sirius's brother Regulus only managed a few days as far as I can remember.'Q2 - What do you think about Igor Karkaroff being dead?Q3 - What do you think of Ollivander being gone?Q4 - How is Bill able to take money out of Harry's vault?‘I see that being Dumbledore's favorite has given you a false sense of security, Harry Potter. But Dumbledore won't always be there to protect you.' Harry looked mockingly all around the shop. ‘Wow … look at that … he's not here now! So why not have a go? They might be able to find you a double cell in Azkaban with your loser of a husband!'Q5 - Is Harry smart to instigate this?Why Are You Worrying About You-Know-Who? You SHOULD Be Worrying About U-NO-POO – the Constipation Sensation That's Gripping the Nation!‘“Patented Daydream Charms …”' Hermione had managed to squeeze through to a large display near the counter and was reading the information on the back of a box bearing a highly coloured picture of a handsome youth and a swooning girl who were standing on the deck of a pirate ship. ‘“One simple incantation and you will enter a top-quality, highly realistic thirty-minute daydream, easy to fit into the average school lesson and virtually undetectable (side-effects include vacant expression and minor drooling). Not for sale to under-sixteens.” You know,' said Hermione, looking up at Harry, ‘that really is extraordinary magic!' ‘For that, Hermione,' said a voice behind them, ‘you can have one for free.'Q6 - How brilliant is the joke shop?Q7 - What is their best invention: Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, Decoy Detonators, or Shield Hats?They had drawn level with the only shop in Knockturn Alley that Harry had ever visited: Borgin and Burkes, which sold a wide variety of sinister objects. There in the midst of the cases full of skulls and old bottles stood Draco Malfoy with his back to them, just visible beyond the very same large black cabinet in which Harry had once hidden to avoid Malfoy and his father. Judging by the movements of Malfoy's hands he was talking animatedly. The proprietor of the shop, Mr Borgin, an oily-haired, stooping man, stood facing Malfoy. He was wearing a curious expression of mingled resentment and fear…‘… you know how to fix it?' ‘Possibly,' said Borgin, in a tone that suggested he was unwilling to commit himself. ‘I'll need to see it, though. Why don't you bring it into the shop?' ‘I can't,' said Malfoy. ‘It's got to stay put. I just need you to tell me how to do it.'Q8 - What is Draco trying to mend?‘No?' said Malfoy and Harry knew, just by his tone, that Malfoy was sneering. ‘Perhaps this will make you more confident.' He moved towards Borgin and was blocked from view by the cabinet. Harry, Ron and Hermione shuffled sideways to try and keep him in sight, but all they could see was Borgin, looking very frightened.Q9 - What did Draco show him?Chapter 7 - The Slug Club‘Malfoy, revenge? What can he do about it?' ‘That's my point, I don't know!' said Harry, frustrated. ‘But he's up to something and I think we should take it seriously. His father's a Death Eater and –' Harry broke off, his eyes fixed on the window behind Hermione, his mouth open. A startling thought had just occurred to him. ‘Harry?' said Hermione in an anxious voice. ‘What's wrong?' ‘Your scar's not hurting again, is it?' asked Ron nervously. ‘He's a Death Eater,' said Harry slowly. ‘He's replaced his father as a Death Eater!'Q1 - You think Harry is right about Draco being a Death Eater?‘Au revoir, 'Arry,' said Fleur throatily, kissing him goodbye. Ron hurried forwards, looking hopeful, but Ginny stuck out her foot and Ron fell, sprawling in the dust at Fleur's feet. Furious, red-faced and dirt-spattered, he hurried into the car without saying goodbye.Q2 - Is Ginny becoming a mean girl?‘They're staring at you because you were at the Ministry, too,' said Harry, as he hoisted his trunk into the luggage rack. ‘Our little adventure there was all over the Daily Prophet, you must've seen it.' ‘Yes, I thought Gran would be angry about all the publicity,' said Neville, ‘but she was really pleased. Says I'm starting to live up to my dad at long last. She bought me a new wand, look!' He pulled it out and showed it to Harry. ‘Cherry and unicorn hair,' he said proudly. ‘We think it was one of the last Ollivander ever sold, he vanished next day – oi, come back here, Trevor!'Q3 - Is Neville going to be better or worse now that he has a new wand?Q4 - Why did Draco forgo his role as Prefect?Every now and then students would hurtle out of their compartments to get a better look at him. The exception was Cho Chang, who darted into her compartment when she saw Harry coming. As Harry passed the window he saw her deep in determined conversation with her friend Marietta, who was wearing a very thick layer of makeup that did not entirely obscure the odd formation of pimples still etched across her face. Smirking slightly, Harry pushed on.Q5 - Does Marietta deserve this?Q6 - What do you think about Slughorn's little club?Q7 - Is Draco dating Pansy Parkinson?Malfoy yawned ostentatiously. ‘I mean, I might not even be at Hogwarts next year, what's it matter to me if some fat old has-been likes me or not?' ‘What do you mean, you might not be at Hogwarts next year?' said Pansy indignantly, ceasing grooming Malfoy at once. ‘Well, you never know,' said Malfoy with the ghost of a smirk. ‘I might have – er – moved on to bigger and better things.'Q8 - What do you think he means by this?‘I thought so,' he said jubilantly. ‘I heard Goyle's trunk hit you. And I thought I saw something white flash through the air after Zabini came back …' His eyes lingered for a moment upon Harry's trainers. ‘That was you blocking the door when Zabini came back in, I suppose?' He considered Harry for a moment. ‘You didn't hear anything I care about, Potter. But while I've got you here …' And he stamped, hard, on Harry's face. Harry felt his nose break; blood spurted everywhere.Q9 - What do you think of Draco besting Harry?Chapter 8 - Snape VictoriousQ1 - How do you think Tonks found Harry?‘Hagrid was late for the start-of-term feast, just like Potter here, so I took it instead. And incidentally,' said Snape, standing back to allow Harry to pass him, ‘I was interested to see your new Patronus.' He shut the gates in her face with a loud clang and tapped the chains with his wand again, so that they slithered, clinking, back into place. ‘I think you were better off with the old one,' said Snape, the malice in his voice unmistakeable. ‘The new one looks weak.'Q2 - What do you think of Patronus' changing form? How would it change form?Q3 - Why do you think Snape is mean to her?‘Fifty points from Gryffindor for lateness, I think,' said Snape. ‘And, let me see, another twenty for your Muggle attire. You know, I don't believe any house has ever been in negative figures this early in the term – we haven't even started pudding. You might have set a record, Potter.'Q4 - The points are stupid.‘Professor Snape, meanwhile,' said Dumbledore, raising his voice so that it carried over all the muttering, ‘will be taking over the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.' ‘No!' said Harry, so loudly that many heads turned in his direction. He did not care; he was staring up at the staff table, incensed. How could Snape be given the Defence Against the Dark Arts job after all this time? Hadn't it been widely known for years that Dumbledore did not trust him to do it?Q5 - What do you think of Snape getting the Defense against the Dark Arts job? And knowing the curse on the position, do you think he'll be there after a year?

Chapter 21 - The Eye of the SnakeʹOi!ʹ bellowed Ron, finally losing patience and sticking his head out of the window, ʹI am a prefect and if one more snowball hits this window—OUCH!ʹ He withdrew his head sharply, his face covered in snow. ʹItʹs Fred and George,ʹ he said bitterly, slamming the window behind him. ʹGits…ʹ ʹDonʹ worry, it wonʹ hurt yen,ʹ said Hagrid patiently. ʹRighʹ, now, who can tell me why some oʹ yeh can see ʹem anʹ some canʹt?ʹ Hermione raised her hand. ʹGo on then,ʹ said Hagrid, beaming at her. The only people who can see Thestrals,ʹ she said, ʹare people who have seen death.ʹ Thaʹs exactly right,ʹ said Hagrid solemnly, ʹten points ter Gryffindor. Now, Thestrals— ʹHem, hem.ʹ Professor Umbridge had arrived.Q1 - What do you think of ThestralsQ2 - Is Umbridge still okay after this?ʹYou can see the Thestrals, Longbottom, can you?ʹ she said. Neville nodded. ʹWho did you see die?ʹ she asked, her tone indifferent. ʹMy… my grandad,ʹ said Neville.Q3 - Harry is going to the Burrow for Christmas…what's the most memorable Christmas you've had?ʹWell,ʹ said Angelina dully, pulling off her cloak and throwing it into a corner, ʹweʹve finally replaced you.ʹ ʹReplaced me?ʹ said Harry blankly. ʹYou and Fred and George,ʹ she said impatiently. ʹWeʹve got another Seeker!ʹ ʹWho?ʹ said Harry quickly. ʹGinny Weasley,ʹ said Katie.Q4 - You think Ginny will be good at Quidditch?Q5 - When Cho was hanging back during the DA meeting, did you know everything that was going to happen, like Hermione did, or were you oblivious like Ron.ʹWell?ʹ Ron said finally, looking up at Harry. ʹHow was it?ʹ Harry considered for a moment. ʹWet,ʹ he said truthfully. Ron made a noise that might have indicated jubilation or disgust, it was hard to tell. ʹBecause she was crying,ʹ Harry continued heavily. ʹOh,ʹ said Ron, his smile fading slightly. ʹAre you that bad at kissing?ʹʹWell, obviously, sheʹs feeling very sad, because of Cedric dying. Then I expect sheʹs feeling confused because she liked Cedric and now she likes Harry, and she canʹt work out who she likes best. Then sheʹll be feeling guilty, thinking itʹs an insult to Cedricʹs memory to be kissing Harry at all, and sheʹll be worrying about what everyone else might say about her if she starts going out with Harry. And she probably canʹt work out what her feelings towards Harry are, anyway, because he was the one who was with Cedric when Cedric died, so thatʹs all very mixed up and painful. Oh, and sheʹs afraid sheʹs going to be thrown off the Ravenclaw Quidditch team because sheʹs been flying so badly.ʹ A slightly stunned silence greeted the end of this speech, then Ron said, ʹOne person canʹt feel all that at once, theyʹd explode.ʹ ʹJust because youʹve got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesnʹt mean we all have,ʹ said Hermione nastily picking up her quill again.Q6 - Is Hermione the best?He had to tell Ron, it was very important that he tell him… taking great gulps of air, Harry pushed himself up in bed, willing himself not to throw up again, the pain half‐blinding him. ʹYour dad,ʹ he panted, his chest heaving. ʹYour dadʹs… been attacked…ʹ ʹWhat?ʹ said Ron uncomprehendingly. ʹYour dad! Heʹs been bitten, itʹs serious, there was blood everywhere…ʺ Q7 - Was this dream real?ʹNo!ʹ said Harry angrily; would none of them understand? ʹI was having a dream at first about something completely different, something stupid… and then this interrupted it. It was real, I didnʹt imagine it. Mr Weasley was asleep on the floor and he was attacked by a gigantic snake, there was a load of blood, he collapsed, someoneʹs got to find out where he is…ʹ Professor McGonagall was gazing at him through her lopsided spectacles as though horrified at what she was seeing. ʹIʹm not lying and Iʹm not mad!ʹ Harry told her, his voice rising to a shout. ʹI tell you, I saw it happen!ʹ ʹI believe you, Potter,ʹ said Professor McGonagall curtly. ʹPut on your dressing gown—weʹre going to see the Headmaster.ʹQ8 - Was Harry the snake or was he watching the whole thing happen?Chapter 22 - St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and InjuriesProfessor McGonagall rapped three times with the griffin knocker and the voices ceased abruptly as though someone had switched them all off. The door opened of its own accord and Professor McGonagall led Harry and Ron inside.Q1 - What are those voices? And what are they talking about?ʹHow did you see this?ʹ Dumbledore asked quietly, still not looking at Harry. ʹWell… I donʹt know,ʹ said Harry, rather angrily ‐ what did it matter? ʹInside my head, I suppose—” ʹYou misunderstand me,ʹ said Dumbledore, still in the same calm tone. ʹI mean… can you remember —er— where you were positioned as you watched this attack happen? Were you perhaps standing beside the victim, or else looking down on the scene from above?ʹ This was such a curious question that Harry gaped at Dumbledore; it was almost as though he knew…Q2 - What does Dumbledore know?Q3 - Dumbledore tells Fawkes that they will need a warning…what is he talking about?The instrument tinkled into life at once with rhythmic clinking noises. Tiny puffs of pale green smoke issued from the minuscule silver tube at the top. Dumbledore watched the smoke closely, his brow furrowed. After a few seconds, the tiny puffs became a steady stream of smoke that thickened and coiled in the air… a serpentʹs head grew out of the end of it, opening its mouth wide. Harry wondered whether the instrument was confirming his story: he looked eagerly at Dumbledore for a sign that he was right, but Dumbledore did not look up. ʹNaturally, naturally,ʹ murmured Dumbledore apparently to himself, still observing the stream of smoke without the slightest sign of surprise. ʹBut in essence divided?ʹ Harry could make neither head nor tail of this question. The smoke serpent, however, split itself instantly into two snakes, both coiling and undulating in the dark air. With a look of grim satisfaction, Dumbledore gave the instrument another gentle tap with his wand: the clinking noise slowed and died and the smoke serpents grew faint, became a formless haze and vanished.Q4 - What does Dumbledore mean, in essence divided? What is happening here?ʹYour father has been injured in the course of his work for the Order of the Phoenix,ʹ said Dumbledore, before Harry could speak. ʹHe has been taken to St Mungoʹs Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. I am sending you back to Siriusʹs house, which is much more convenient for the hospital than The Burrow. You will meet your mother there.ʹ ʹHowʹre we going?ʹ asked Fred, looking shaken. Floo powder?ʹ ʹNo,ʹ said Dumbledore, Floo powder is not safe at the moment, the Network is being watched. You will be taking a Portkey.ʹ He indicated the old kettle lying innocently on his desk. ʹWe are just waiting for Phineas Nigellus to report back… I want to be sure that the coast is clear before sending you—” There was a flash of flame in the very middle of the office, leaving behind a single golden feather that floated gently to the floor. ʹIt is Fawkesʹs warning,ʹ said Dumbledore, catching the feather as it fell. ʹProfessor Umbridge must know youʹre out of your beds… Minerva, go and head her off—tell her any story.”ʹQ5 - Does it scare you that Dumbledore is being this intense?It happened in a fraction of a second: in the infinitesimal pause before Dumbledore said ʹthreeʹ, Harry looked up at him—they were very close together—and Dumbledoreʹs clear blue gaze moved from the Portkey to Harryʹs face. At once, Harryʹs scar burned white-hot, as though the old wound had burst open again ‐ and unbidden, unwanted, but terrifyingly strong, there rose within Harry a hatred so powerful he felt, for that instant, he would like nothing better than to strike—to bite—to sink his fangs into the man before him — ʹ… three.ʹ Q6 - What is going on here?Q7 - Do you side with Sirius or the Weasleys wanting to go see their dad?If Harry had ever sat through a longer night than this one, he could not remember it. Sirius suggested once, without any real conviction, that they all go to bed, but the Weasleysʹ looks of disgust were answer enough. They mostly sat in silence around the table, watching the candle wick sinking lower and lower into liquid wax, occasionally raising a bottle to their lips, speaking only to check the time, to wonder aloud what was happening, and to reassure each other that if there was bad news, they would know straightaway, for Mrs Weasley must long since have arrived at St Mungoʹs.Q8 - Maybe this is too personal but have you ever had a moment of waiting for bad news like this?Fred fell back into his chair with his hands over his face. George and Ginny got up, walked swiftly over to their mother and hugged her. Ron gave a very shaky laugh and downed the rest of his Butterbeer in one. ʹBreakfast!ʹ said Sirius loudly and joyfully, jumping to his feet. ʹWhereʹs that accursed house‐elf? Kreacher! KREACHER!ʹ But Kreacher did not answer the summons. ʹOh, forget it, then,ʹ muttered Sirius, counting the people in front of him. ʹSo, itʹs breakfast for— letʹs see— seven… bacon and eggs, I think, and some tea, and toast—”ʹBut thatʹs not all,ʹ said Harry, in a voice only a little above a whisper. ʹSirius, I… I think Iʹm going mad. Back in Dumbledoreʹs office, just before we took the Portkey… for a couple of seconds there I thought I was a snake, I felt like one ‐ my scar really hurt when I was looking at Dumbledore ‐ Sirius, I wanted to attack him!ʹ He could only see a sliver of Siriuss face; the rest was in darkness. ʹIt must have been the aftermath of the vision, thatʹs all,ʹ said Sirius. ʹYou were still thinking of the dream or whatever it was and—” ʹIt wasnʹt that,ʹ said Harry, shaking his head, ʹit was like something rose up inside me, like thereʹs a snake inside me.ʹ Q9 - What do you think is happening here?ARTEFACT ACCIDENTS… Ground floor Cauldron explosion, wand backfiring, broom crashes, etc. CREATURE‐INDUCED INJURIES… First floor Bites, stings, burns, embedded spines, etc. MAGICAL BUGS… Second floor Contagious maladies, e.g. dragon pox, vanishing sickness, scrojungulus, etc. POTION AND PLANT POISONING… Third floor Rashes, regurgitation, uncontrollable 2, etc. SPELL DAMAGE… Fourth floor Unliftable jinxes, hexes, incorrectly applied charms, etc. VISITORSʹ TEAROOM / HOSPITAL SHOP… Fifth floorQ10 - What floor would you want to work on?Q11 - What was Mr Weasley guarding?ʹCourse heʹs worried,ʹ growled Moody. ʹThe boyʹs seeing things from inside You- Know-Who's snake. Obviously, Potter doesnʹt realize what that means, but if You-Know-Who's possessing him —ʹQ12 - What does this mean?Chapter 23 - Christmas on the Closed WardQ1 - What is Voldemort after? Is Harry really the weapon?ʹYou know,ʹ said Phineas Nigellus, even more loudly than Harry ʹthis is precisely why I loathed being a teacher! Young people are so infernally convinced that they are absolutely right about everything. Has it not occurred to you, my poor puffed‐up popinjay, that there might be an excellent reason why the Headmaster of Hogwarts is not confiding every tiny detail of his plans to you? Have you never paused, while feeling hard‐done‐by, to note that following Dumbledore's orders has never yet led you into harm? No. No, like all young people, you are quite sure that you alone feel and think, you alone recognise danger, you alone are the only one clever enough to realize what the Dark Lord may be planning—”Q2 - Is Dumbledore right to keep his secrets?The feeling of being unclean intensified. He half-wished he had not obeyed Dumbledore… if this was how life was going to be for him in Grimmauld Place from now on, maybe he would be better off in Privet Drive after all.Q3 - Is it crazy to you that Harry would rather be back with the Dursleys now?Q4 - It's great that Hermione comes, but is she being a bad kid to her parents?ʹWell, that was a bit stupid of you,ʹ said Ginny angrily, ʹseeing as you donʹt know anyone but me whoʹs been possessed by You‐Know‐Who, and I can tell you how it feels.ʹ Harry remained quite still as the impact of these words hit him. Then he wheeled round. ʹI forgot,ʹ he said. ʹLucky you,ʹ said Ginny coolly.Q5 - What's the best gift you've ever given?Thanks for the book, Harryʹ she said happily. ʹIʹve been wanting that New Theory on Numerology for ages! And that perfumeʹs really unusual, Ron.ʹ Q6 - Thoughts on Ron giving Hermione perfume?Q7 - One of the healers thought Ron had Spattergroit…do you think he does?Q8 - What do you think about them seeing Lockhart again?ʹWhat?ʹ said Ron, looking amazed. (Harry wanted to stamp on Ronʹs foot, but that sort of thing is much harder to bring off unnoticed when youʹre wearing jeans rather than robes.) ʹIs that your dad down the end, Neville?ʹ ʹWhatʹs this?ʹ said Mrs Longbottom sharply. ʹHavenʹt you told your friends about your parents, Neville?ʹ Neville took a deep breath, looked up at the ceiling and shook his head. Harry could not remember ever feeling sorrier for anyone, but he could not think of any way of helping Neville out of the situation. ʹWell, itʹs nothing to be ashamed of!ʹ said Mrs Longbottom angrily. ʹYou should be proud, Neville, proud. They didnʹt give their health and their sanity so their only son would be ashamed of them, you know!ʹ ʹIʹm not ashamed,ʹ said Neville, very faintly, still looking anywhere but at Harry and the others. Ron was now standing on tiptoe to look over at the inhabitants of the two beds.Q9 - What do you think of the group meeting Neville here?Nevilleʹs mother had come edging down the ward in her nightdress. She no longer had the plump, happy‐looking face Harry had seen in Moodyʹs old photograph of the original Order of the Phoenix. Her face was thin and worn now, her eyes seemed overlarge and her hair, which had turned white, was wispy and dead‐looking. She did not seem to want to speak, or perhaps she was not able to, but she made timid motions towards Neville, holding something in her outstretched hand. ʹAgain?ʹ said Mrs Longbottom, sounding slightly weary. ʹVery well, Alice dear, very well ‐ Neville, take it, whatever it is.ʹ But Neville had already stretched out his hand, into which his mother dropped an empty Droobleʹs Best Blowing Gum wrapper. ʹVery nice, dear,ʹ said Nevilleʹs grandmother in a falsely cheery voice, patting his mother on the shoulder. But Neville said quietly, Thanks, Mum.ʹ His mother tottered away, back up the ward, humming to herself. Neville looked around at the others, his expression defiant, as though daring them to laugh, but Harry did not think heʹd ever found anything less funny in his life. ʹWell, weʹd better get back,ʹ sighed Mrs Longbottom, drawing on long green gloves. ʹVery nice to have met you all. Neville, put that wrapper in the bin, she must have given you enough of them to paper your bedroom by now.ʹ But as they left, Harry was sure he saw Neville slip the sweet wrapper into his pocket.Q10 - What do you think of Neville after this?Chapter 24 - OcclumencyQ1 - What is Kreacher up to?“Occlumency, Potter. The magical defense of the mind against external penetration. An obscure branch of magic, but a highly useful one.”Q2 - Thoughts on Occlumency?Q3 - What's in the package that Sirius gave Harry?Q4 - What's the best story you have of asking someone on a date?“Only muggles talk of ‘mind reading.' The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure, Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by any invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing, Potter — or at least most minds are.” He smirked. “It is true, however, that those who have mastered Legilimency are able, under certain conditions, to delve into the minds of their victims and to interpret their findings correctly. The Dark Lord, for instance, almost always knows when somebody is lying to him. Only those skilled at Occlumency are able to shut down those feelings and memories that contradict the lie, and so can utter falsehoods in his presence without detection.”Q5 - Would you want to be good at Occlumency or Legilimency?“Then you will find yourself easy prey for the Dark Lord!" said Snape savagely. "Fools who wear their hearts proudly on their sleeves, who cannot control their emotions, who wallow in sad memories and allow themselves to be provoked so easily - weak people, in other words - they stand no chance against his powers! He will penetrate your mind with absurd ease, Potter!”Q6 - Would you be good at controlling your emotions like this?Q7 - What's in the department of mysteries?Q8 - Why is Snape hiding his memories?Q9 - Why is Voldemort so happy at the end of this chapter?

Chapter 1 - The Riddle HouseThe villagers of Little Hangleton still called it “the Riddle House,” even though it had been many years since the Riddle family had lived there.Fifty years before, at daybreak on a fine summer's morning, when the Riddle House had still been well kept and impressive, and a maid had entered the drawing room to find all three Riddles dead.Q1 - What do you think happened to the three Riddles?“Frank!” cried several people. “Never!” … By the following morning, hardly anyone in Little Hangleton doubted that Frank Bryce had killed the Riddles.Q2 - Are you guys into true crime podcasts?Q3 - Have you ever been to a spooky or haunted place?Q4 - What are Wormtail and Voldemort talking about?“I will allow you to perform an essential task for me, one that many of my followers would give their right hand to perform.”Q5 - What do you think this task is?“But I am not a man, Muggle,” said the cold voice, barely audible now over the crackling of the flames. “I am much, much more than a man.”Q6 - What does Voldemort mean that he is much more than a man?Q7 - Who is Voldemort's most faithful servant?Q8 - What happened in this chapter and how did you like this opening chapter compared with the other books?Chapter 2 - The ScarNo, the thing that was bothering Harry was that the last time his scar had hurt him, it had been because Voldemort had been close by… but Voldemort couldn't be here, now…the idea of Voldemort lurking in Privet Drive was absurd, impossible…Q1 - Why do you think Harry's scar hurts whenever things like that happen?Q2 - Do you think Voldemort knows where Harry lives, and would he ever attack the house?As far as he knew, he was the only living person to have survived a curse like Voldemort's.Q3 - Do you think there is anyone else alive or even dead who has survived a curse like Voldemorts?Q4 - If you had to choose a bird to deliver mail to you, which bird are you picking?Chapter 3 - The InvitationThe school nurse had seen what Aunt Petunia's eyes – so sharp when it came to spotting fingerprints on her gleaming walls, and in observing the comings and goings of the neighbors – simply refused to see: that, far from needing extra nourishment, Dudley had reached roughly the size and weight of a young killer whale.Q1 - What are your thoughts on Dudley? Q2 - So far in this series, if there is a character who is irredeemable, who would it be?Q3 - Is it animal abuse to keep sending Errol to deliver your mail?Q4 - What do you normally eat for breakfast?“Look at this,” he growled. He held up the envelope in which Mrs Weasley's letter had come, and Harry had to fight down a laugh. Every bit of the letter was covered in stamps except for a square inch on the front, into which Mrs Weasley had squeezed the Dursleys' address in minute writing.Q5 - Who do you think is going to win the Quidditch World Cup?A slight spasm crossed Uncle Vernon's large purple face. The mustache bristled. Harry thought he knew what was going on behind the mustache: a furious battle as two of Uncle Vernon's most fundamental instincts came into conflict. Allowing Harry to go would make Harry happy, something Uncle Vernon had struggled against for thirteen years. On the other hand, allowing Harry to disappear to the Weasleys' for the rest of the summer would get rid of him two weeks earlier than anyone could have hoped, and Uncle Vernon hated having Harry in the house. To give himself thinking time, it seemed, he looked down at Mrs. Weasley's letter again.“If they say yes, send Pig back with your answer pronto, and we'll come get you at five o'clock on Sunday. If they say no, send Pig back pronto and we'll come get you at five o'clock on Sunday anyway.”Q6 - Harry eats his birthday cake…how long can he hide birthday cake under his floorboards before it starts to get moldy and inedible?He was going to the Quidditch World Cup. It was hard, just not, to feel worried about anything — even Lord Voldemort.Q7 - Should Harry be more worried about Lord Voldemort and his scar?Chapter 4 - Back to the BurrowQ1 - Thoughts on the Dursley's nerve and annoyance in the beginning of this chapter?Q2 - Are the Weasleys wrong for being so late?Q3 - Is the Floo Network a normal practice…to show up in someone's living room just unannounced?The electric fireplace shot across the room as the boarded-up fireplace burst outwards, expelling Mr Weasley, Fred, George, and Ron in a cloud of loose chippings.Q4 - What are your feelings on all of this happening?Indeed, from the tone of his voice when he next spoke, Harry was quite sure that Mr Weasley thought Dudley was quite as mad as the Dursleys thought he was, except that Mr Weasley felt sympathy rather than fear.Q5 - What do you think of the idea of having sympathy on people who are different from you? What should you do?Q6 - What is the rudest anyone has ever acted toward you?Q7 - Petunia in particular seems very terrified of magic, why do you think that she is?Chapter 5 - Weasleys' Wizard WheezesQ1 - Would you rather work with dragons or work at gringotts?“It isn't funny!” Mr Weasley shouted. “That sort of behavior seriously undermines wizard-muggle relations! I spend half my life campaigning against the mistreatment of Muggles, and my own sons —”Q2 - What is the Wizard perception of Muggles?Q3 - What do you think the of Fred and George's inventions? Q4 - What else do you think they'd make, or that you would make, if you were making a joke shop for wizards?“A report for the Department of International Magical Cooperation,” said Percy smugly. “We're trying to standardize cauldron thickness. Some of these foreign imports are just a shade too thin — leakages have been increasing at a rate of almost three percent a year —”Q5 - What do you think of Percy and his new job?“Just don't get him onto the subject of his boss. According to Mr Crouch…as I was saying to Mr Crouch…Mr Crouch is of the opinion…Mr Crouch was telling me…They'll be announcing their engagement any day now.”NOTE: Harry did not send any thank you letters or mail to his friends.Q6 - What are your thoughts on Mr and Mrs Weasley?PREDICTION: Scotland slaughtered by Luxembourg.Q7 - Is there a specific time you remember having a really good meal with people you loved?“I shudder to think what the state of my in-tray would be if I was away from work for five days.” “Yeah, someone might slip dragon dung in it again, eh, Perce?” said Fred. “That was a sample of fertilizer from Norway!” said Percy, going very red in the face. “It was nothing personal.” “It was,” Fred Whispered to Harry, as they got up from the table. “We sent it.”

Chapter 1 - Owl PostHarry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways. For one thing, he hated the summer holidays more than any other time of year. For another, he really wanted to do his homework, but was forced to do it in secret, in the dead of night. And he also happened to be a wizard.Q1 - Wendelin the Weird is so named because she liked to be burned, if you had a title to your name, what do you think it would be?Q2 - Why haven't wizards adopted ballpoint pens yet?For years, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon had hoped that if they kept Harry as downtrodden as possible, they would be able to squash the magic out of him. To their fury, they had been unsuccessful.Harry sat down on his bed, grabbed Errol's package, ripped off the brown paper and discovered a present wrapped in gold, and his first ever birthday card.Q3 - Do you think the grand prize was fixed so that the Weasleys could win after what happened to them last year?Q4 - Would you want a pocket Sneakoscope?Q5 - Did you guys get really into the go-back-to-school countdown and sales and stuff?At that moment, Harry Potter felt just like everyone else: glad, for the first time in his life, that it was his birthday.Chapter 2 - Aunt Marge's Big MistakeQ1 - Have you ever, in your town, heard about a prisoner escaping or some serious crime happening?Q2 - Have you ever called someone Aunt or Uncle who isn't really your relative?Q3 - Do you think Harry's strategy of threatening his Uncle to forgot the school name in order to get his permission form signed is the right way to go about it?Aunt Marge loved criticizing him, so the untidier he looked, the happier she would be.Harry was bursting to say that he'd rather live in an orphanage than with the Dursleys, but the thought of the Hogsmeade form stopped him.Q4 - Would you rather live in an orphanage or with the Dursleys?Q5 - Why do you think Vernon made Harry sit there with Marge at the dinner table?“It all comes down to blood, as I was saying the other day. Bad blood will out. Now, I'm saying nothing against your family, Petunia” — she patted Aunt Petunia's bony hand with her shovel-like one, “but your sister was a bad egg. They turn up in the best families. Then she ran off with a wastrel and here's the result right in front of us.”POD NOTE: Danny mentioned Harry was sure to run away soon if he didn't end up going to Hogwarts.Chapter 3 - The Knight BusQ1 - What do you think Harry saw that was “very big, with wide, gleaming eyes…like a dog, but massive?”“That man!” Harry said, forgetting his troubles for a moment. “He was on the Muggle news!” Stanley turned to the front page and chuckled. “Sirius Black,” he said, nodding, “Course ‘e was on the Muggle news, Neville. Where you been?”Q2 - Where have we seen Sirius Black before in this book?Q3 - Why do you think Sirius Black murdered 13 people with one curse?“Laughed,” said Stan, “Jus' stood there an' laughed. An' when reinforcements from the Ministry of Magic got there, ‘e went wiv ‘em quiet as anyfink. Still laughing ‘is ‘ead off. Cos ‘e's mad, inee, Ern?

Chapter 10 - Hallowe'enQ1 - Is it shady that McG has bought a Nimbus Two Thousand — the current best broomstick in the world — for Harry?“Potter's been sent a broomstick, Professor,” said Malfoy quickly. “Yes, yes, that's right,” said Professor Flitwick, beaming at Harry. “Professor McGonagall told me all about the special circumstances, Potter. And what Model is it?” “A Nimbus Two Thousand, sir,” said Harry, fighting not to laugh at the look of horror on Malfoy's face. “And it's really thanks to Malfoy here that I've got it,” he added.Q2 - Is the Snitch worth too many points?Ron looked still more awkward at this [news Hermione was crying and wanted to be left alone], but a moment later they had entered the Great Hall, where the Hallowe'en decorations put Hermione out of their minds.Q3 - What position would you want to play in Quidditch?Q4 - Theories on how on earth someone could smuggle a troll into the castle?Q5 - Why didn't Hermione tell the truth?Q6 - Is five points a little too skimpy for two first years taking on a mountain troll and winning?Q7 - The point system at Hogwarts seems absolutely arbitrary, do you think there is a rule book for the point system?But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.IlvermornyMarble statues of Isolt and James flank the front doors of Ilvermorny Castle. The doors open onto a circular room topped by a glass cupola. A wooden balcony runs around the room one floor above. Otherwise the space is empty except for four enormous wooden carvings representing the houses: the Horned Serpent, the panther Wampus, the Thunderbird and the Pukwudgie.While the rest of the school watches from the circular balcony overhead, new students file into the round entrance hall. They stand around the walls and, one by one, are called to stand on the symbol of the Gordian Knot set into the middle of the stone floor. In silence the school then waits for the enchanted carvings to react. If the Horned Serpent wants the student, the crystal set into its forehead will light up. If the Wampus wants the student, it roars. The Thunderbird signifies its approval by beating its wings, and the Pukwudgie will raise its arrow into the air.Should more than one carving signify its wish to include the student in its house, the choice rests with the student. Very rarely – perhaps once a decade – a student is offered a place in all four houses. Seraphina Picquery, President of MACUSA 1920 - 1928, was the only witch of her generation so honored, and she chose Horned Serpent.It is sometimes said of the Ilvermorny houses that they represent the whole witch or wizard: the mind is represented by Horned Serpent; the body, Wampus; the heart, Pukwudgie and the soul, Thunderbird. Others say that Horned Serpent favours scholars, Wampus, warriors, Pukwudgie, healers and Thunderbird, adventurers.Chapter 11 - QuidditchQ1 - How much would you pay to watch the Quidditch World Cup match in 1473 that had all seven-hundred ways to commit a foul committed?Harry thought Flint looked as if he had some troll blood in him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the fluttering banner high above, flashing Potter for President over the crowd. His heart skipped. He felt braver.Q2 - How do we feel about Lee Jordan shooting his shot with Angelina during his commentary for the match?Q3 - The Weasleys are poor, how does one of the twins have a gold wristwatch?Q4 - Should they have magical protection for the players during a quidditch match?Q5 - What do you think about Quidditch?Q6 - What do you think about Snape jinxing Harry?Chapter 12 - The Mirror Of ErisedSo Malfoy, jealous and angry, had gone back to taunting Harry about having no proper family.Q1 - The wizarding world needs google? This book is kinda at the dawn of the internet, so Hogwarts probably isn't set with a computer lab, and most tech doesn't work around Hogwarts, but how much time would they save with a google search?“And you could ask your parents if they know who Flamel is,” said Ron. “It'd be safe to ask them.” “Very safe, as they're both dentists,” said Hermione.“Will you look at this? I've got presents!” “What did you expect, turnips?”Q2 - How much would you pay for a Weasley jumper?Something fluid and silvery gray went slithering to the floor, where it lay in gleaming folds. Ron gasped. “I've heard of those,” he said in a hushed voice, dropping the box of Every-Flavor Beans he's got from Hermione. “If that's what I think it is — they're really rare, and really valuable.” “What is it?” Harry picked the shining, silvery cloth off the floor. It was strange to the touch like water woven into material. “It's an invisibility cloak,” said Ron, a look of awe on his face.Q3 - Who did you think the cloak was from on the first read?Q4 - Is a hundred fat, roast turkeys excessive for the amount of kids likely staying at Hogwarts for Christmas?Q5 - Is it irresponsible to give an eleven year-old an invisibility cloak and just say “use it well?Q6 - Did you catch the riddle of the inscription on the mirror: Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi?He looked in the mirror again. A woman standing right behind his reflection was smiling at him and waving. He reached out a hand and felt the air behind him. If she was really there, he'd touch her, their reflections were so close together, but he only felt air — and she and the others existed only in the mirror.Harry was so close to the mirror now that his nose was nearly touching that of his reflection. “Mum?” he whispered. “Dad?”Harry was looking at his family, for the first time in his life. The potters smiled and waved at Harry and he stared hungrily back at them, his hands pressed flat against the glass as though he was hoping to fall right through it and reach them. He had a powerful kind of ache inside him, half joy, half terrible sadness. How long he stood there, he didn't know. The reflections did not fade and he looked and looked until a distant noise brought him back to his senses. He couldn't stay here, he had to find his way back to bed. He tore his eyes away from his mothers face, whispered, “I'll come back,” and hurried from the room.Q7 - This is way too personal, and I'm not going to ask this, but what would you see in the mirror?“So — back again, Harry?” Harry felt as though his insides had turned to ice. He looked behind him. Sitting on one of the desks by the wall was none other than Albus Dumbledore. Harry must have walked straight past him, so desperate to get to the mirror he hadn't notices him. “I — I didn't see you, sir.” “Strange how short-sighted being invisible can make you,” said Dumbledore, and Harry was relieved to see that he was smiling.If you ever do run across it, you will now be prepared. It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.Q8 - What do you think Dumbledore saw in the mirror?Chapter 13 - Nicholas FlamelChess was the only thing Hermione ever lost at, something Harry and Ron thought was very good for her.“There's no need to tell me I'm not brave enough to be in Gryffindor, Malfoy's already done that,” Neville choked. Harry felt in the pocket of his robes and pulled out a Chocolate Frog, the very last one from the box Hermione had given him for Christmas. He gave it to Neville, who looked as though he might cry. “You're worth twelve of Malfoy,” Harry said. Q1 - What are your thoughts on Neville?Q2 - Is there a serious issue that the trio could not find the only known maker of the sorcerer's stone — something that makes the elixir of life which makes the drinker immortal — in anything they read until they got to the chocolate frog? Is this bad searching, or bad recorded history?Q3 - What position would you want to play in Quidditch?

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, we discuss who didn't deserve to die in the Battle of Hogwarts. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 2:08 Fred. Harry walks into the Great Hall and sees all the Weasleys gathered around a cot. The twins were always the life of the party and had a joke to say at every turn. Killing one of them was very grim indeed. Fred had such a bright future at the joke shop and he would never get the chance to see it.· 11:15 Lupin. His spot is undisputed. Lupin understands people, situation, and he is all around a good guy. The reason why he is on this list is he has lost so much already. His friends were killed and he has had to live as a werewolf, all to be capped off by being killed for his efforts. · 17:10 Crabbe. He was among the casualties and I felt unexpectedly sorry for him. This wasn't his battle to fight and he didn't deserve to die for a cause that he wasn't personally invested in. Someone told him where to stand and to kill people so that's what he did.· 22:13. Collin Creevey. Collin was too young to die. We think of him as a little kid with stars in his eyes as he spends his days gazing at his idol, Harry. Collin snuck back to the castle to fight alongside his hero and he was killed for it. He had too much more life to live.· 24:00 Snape. This spot was made out to Snape from the very beginning. He is on this list because he was the one who sacrificed the most for the battle. Harry and he only made that moment of connection at the very end of his life and they never had the chance to be together as two people who had gone through the same things.Having anything you want to hear or say?

Chapter 32 - The Elder WandShe had pulled Ron behind a tapestry: They seemed to be wrestling together, and for one mad second Harry thought that they were embracing again; then he saw that Hermione was trying to restrain Ron, to stop him running after Percy. “Listen to me — LISTEN, RON!” “I wanna help — I wanna kill Death Eaters —” His face was contorted, smeared with dust and smoke, and he was shaking with rage and grief. “Ron, we're the only ones who can end it! Please — Ron — we need the snake, we've got to kill the snake!” said Hermione. But Harry knew how Ron felt: Pursuing another Horcrux could not bring the satisfaction of revenge; he too wanted to fight, to punish them, the people who had killed Fred, and he wanted to find the other Weasleys, and above all make sure, make quite sure, that Ginny was not — but he could not permit that idea to form in his mind — Q1 - What do you think of Ron's anger and grief here?Q2 - Is Hagrid dead?“How — how're we going to get in?” panted Ron. “I can — see the place — if we just had — Crookshanks again —” “Crookshanks?” wheezed Hermione, bent double, clutching her chest. “Are you a wizard, or what?”Q3 - Do you remember where you first read this line?“. . . my Lord, their resistance is crumbling —” “— and it is doing so without your help,” said Voldemort in his high, clear voice. “Skilled wizard though you are, Severus, I do not think you will make much difference now. We are almost there . . . almost.” “Let me find the boy. Let me bring you Potter. I know I can find him, my Lord. Please.” Snape did not speak. “Perhaps you already know it? You are a clever man, after all, Severus. You have been a good and faithful servant, and I regret what must happen.” “My Lord —” “The Elder Wand cannot serve me properly, Severus, because I am not its true master. The Elder Wand belongs to the wizard who killed its last owner. You killed Albus Dumbledore. While you live, Severus, the Elder Wand cannot be truly mine.” “My Lord!” Snape protested, raising his wand. “It cannot be any other way,” said Voldemort. “I must master the wand, Severus. Master the wand, and I master Potter at last.” And Voldemort swiped the air with the Elder Wand. It did nothing to Snape, who for a split second seemed to think he had been reprieved: But then Voldemort's intention became clear. The snake's cage was rolling through the air, and before Snape could do anything more than yell, it had encased him, head and shoulders, and Voldemort spoke in Parseltongue. “Kill.” Q4 - Initially you were happy Snape died…has your tune changed?Harry took off the Invisibility Cloak and looked down upon the man he hated, whose widening black eyes found Harry as he tried to speak. Harry bent over him, and Snape seized the front of his robes and pulled him close. A terrible rasping, gurgling noise issued from Snape's throat. “Take . . . it. . . . Take . . . it. . . .” Something more than blood was leaking from Snape. Silvery blue, neither gas nor liquid, it gushed from his mouth and his ears and his eyes, and Harry knew what it was, but did not know what to do — A flask, conjured from thin air, was thrust into his shaking hands by Hermione. Harry lifted the silvery substance into it with his wand. When the flask was full to the brim, and Snape looked as though there was no blood left in him, his grip on Harry's robes slackened. “Look . . . at . . . me. . . .” he whispered. The green eyes found the black, but after a second, something in the depths of the dark pair seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed, blank, and empty. The hand holding Harry thudded to the floor, and Snape moved no more. Q6 - What do you think?Q7 - Voldemort owns the Elder Wand now?Chapter 33 - The Prince's TaleAs Ginny and Hermione moved closer to the rest of the family, Harry had a clear view of the bodies lying next to Fred: Remus and Tonks, pale and still and peaceful-looking, apparently asleep beneath the dark, enchanted ceiling.Q1 - What do you think about Tonks and Lupin?Q2 - In the beginning of the memory what do you think of Snape, Lily, and Tuneys connection?Q3 - Petunia wrote a letter to Dumbledore asking to be let into the school…do you understand her character more from this?Q4 - According to Snape's memory, what do you think of James and Sirius?Harry watched again as Snape left the Great Hall after sitting his O.W.L. in Defense Against the Dark Arts, watched as he wandered away from the castle and strayed inadvertently close to the place beneath the beech tree where James, Sirius, Lupin, and Pettigrew sat together. But Harry kept his distance this time, because he knew what happened after James had hoisted Severus into the air and taunted him; he knew what had been done and said, and it gave him no pleasure to hear it again. . . . He watched as Lily joined the group and went to Snape's defense. Distantly he heard Snape shout at her in his humiliation and his fury, the unforgivable word: “Mudblood.” Q5 - Why is this Snape's worst memory?“Her boy survives,” said Dumbledore. With a tiny jerk of the head, Snape seemed to flick off an irksome fly. “Her son lives. He has her eyes, precisely her eyes. You remember the shape and color of Lily Evans's eyes, I am sure?” “DON'T!” bellowed Snape. “Gone . . . dead . . .” “Is this remorse, Severus?” “I wish . . . I wish I were dead. . . .” “And what use would that be to anyone?” said Dumbledore coldly. “If you loved Lily Evans, if you truly loved her, then your way forward is clear.” Snape seemed to peer through a haze of pain, and Dumbledore's words appeared to take a long time to reach him. “What — what do you mean?” “You know how and why she died. Make sure it was not in vain. Help me protect Lily's son.” “He does not need protection. The Dark Lord has gone —” “The Dark Lord will return, and Harry Potter will be in terrible danger when he does.” There was a long pause, and slowly Snape regained control of himself, mastered his own breathing. At last he said, “Very well. Very well. But never — never tell, Dumbledore! This must be between us! Swear it! I cannot bear . . . especially Potter's son . . . I want your word!” “My word, Severus, that I shall never reveal the best of you?” Dumbledore sighed, looking down into Snape's ferocious, anguished face. “If you insist . . .” Q6 - Do you understand why Snape hated and yet protected Harry?“No,” said Snape, his black eyes on Fleur's and Roger's retreating figures. “I am not such a coward.” “No,” agreed Dumbledore. “You are a braver man by far than Igor Karkaroff. You know, I sometimes think we Sort too soon. . . .” Q7 - Do they sort too soon?Snape raised his eyebrows and his tone was sardonic as he asked, “Are you intending to let him kill you?” “Certainly not. You must kill me.” There was a long silence, broken only by an odd clicking noise. Fawkes the phoenix was gnawing a bit of cuttlebone. “Would you like me to do it now?” asked Snape, his voice heavy with irony. “Or would you like a few moments to compose an epitaph?” “Oh, not quite yet,” said Dumbledore, smiling. “I daresay the moment will present itself in due course. Given what has happened tonight,” he indicated his withered hand, “we can be sure that it will happen within a year.” “If you don't mind dying,” said Snape roughly, “why not let Draco do it?” “That boy's soul is not yet so damaged,” said Dumbledore. “I would not have it ripped apart on my account.” “And my soul, Dumbledore? Mine?” “You alone know whether it will harm your soul to help an old man avoid pain and humiliation,” said Dumbledore.Q8 - Do you understand why Snape killed Dumbledore now?“Harry must not know, not until the last moment, not until it is necessary, otherwise how could he have the strength to do what must be done?” “Tell him what?” Dumbledore took a deep breath and closed his eyes. “Tell him that on the night Lord Voldemort tried to kill him, when Lily cast her own life between them as a shield, the Killing Curse rebounded upon Lord Voldemort, and a fragment of Voldemort's soul was blasted apart from the whole, and latched itself onto the only living soul left in that collapsing building. Part of Lord Voldemort lives inside Harry, and it is that which gives him the power of speech with snakes, and a connection with Lord Voldemort's mind that he has never understood. And while that fragment of soul, unmissed by Voldemort, remains attached to and protected by Harry, Lord Voldemort cannot die.” Q9 - Harry is a Horcrux…“So the boy . . . the boy must die?” asked Snape quite calmly. “And Voldemort himself must do it, Severus. That is essential.” Another long silence. Then Snape said, “I thought . . . all these years . . . that we were protecting him for her. For Lily.” “We have protected him because it has been essential to teach him, to raise him, to let him try his strength,” said Dumbledore, his eyes still tight shut. “Meanwhile, the connection between them grows ever stronger, a parasitic growth: Sometimes I have thought he suspects it himself. If I know him, he will have arranged matters so that when he does set out to meet his death, it will truly mean the end of Voldemort.” Dumbledore opened his eyes. Snape looked horrified. “You have kept him alive so that he can die at the right moment?” “Don't be shocked, Severus. How many men and women have you watched die?” “Lately, only those whom I could not save,” said Snape. He stood up. “You have used me.” “Meaning?” “I have spied for you and lied for you, put myself in mortal danger for you. Everything was supposed to be to keep Lily Potter's son safe. Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter —” “But this is touching, Severus,” said Dumbledore seriously. “Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?” “For him?” shouted Snape. “Expecto Patronum!” From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe: She landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office, and soared out of the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears. “After all this time?” “Always,” said Snape. Q10 - Does Snape love Harry?Q11 - What does always mean?Q12 - Do you get why Snape kept the letter?

Harry wird geghostetUnd zwar von Dumbeldore. Und er weiß einfach nicht warum. Armer kleiner Harry. Auch keine Aufmerksamkeit bekommt der gute Arthur. Und zwar nicht nur von Dumbeldore (der rauscht nämlich an ihm vorbei ohne ihm kurz zu sagen, wie die Verhandlung denn nun ausgegangen ist), sondern auch von seinem Sohn, der wie angeklagte und Kläger alle zur selben Tür rausgeht. Um Arthurs Tag noch beschissener zu machen, rasselt er zusammen mit Harry dann auch noch in seinen alten Erzfeind Lucius Malfoy hinein. Und um dem Ganzen noch die Krone aufzusetzen, unterhält der sich auch noch mit seinem Boss Fudge über "geschäftliches". Huiuiui da hätte man auch ausrasten und Malfoy eins aufs Maul geben können. Aber Arthur ist da halt ein Ruhepol und moderiert das alles weg. Sophia und Martin fragen sich hingegen, wie Lucius Styloking Malfoy so gut aussieht? Wie lange er wohl beim Friseur Sitzt?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing a rather SINISTER theory that might finally provide some answers on the Weasley family's elusive financial status. This theory challenges previous interpretations of their poverty and reaches beyond the conventional conception that ‘there just isn't enough to go around' in such a big family. It's a dark one and I guarantee you haven't heard this one before- I think you're going to agree with me. Let's dive in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack play several rounds of the game Kiss, Marry, Kill.The "Kiss, Marry, Kill" game is a social game that involves selecting three people and deciding which one you would kiss, which one you would marry, and which one you would kill, usually based on hypothetical scenarios or personal preferences.Transcript:00:00:01JackWelcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we're going to do a topic top topic talk game episode and this game is called Kiss Mary Kill.00:00:17JackAnd social, are you familiar with the kiss Mary kill?00:00:21XochitlYes, it's a game. You play a lot in, like middle school. I would say in when you're a middle schooler, uh. So like, you know, maybe the ages of 12 or 13. Yeah. And you pick a three different people, usually celebrities. And you have to decide who you would.00:00:25JackRight.00:00:42XochitlFish marry or kill out of those three celebrities.00:00:46JackExactly. Exactly so.00:00:49JackI'm going to give you 3 right now. OK, who would you kiss? Who would you marry and who would you kill if you had to? Again, this is the game is you have to choose.00:01:03JackOne for each person. So Santa Claus.00:01:04발표자Hmm.00:01:08JackThe tooth fairy.00:01:10JackThe Easter Bunny.00:01:13XochitlOK. Well, they kind of made they they made this one like a little easy for me. Maybe I would. I would kill the Easter Bunny.00:01:29XochitlBecause he's a Bunny one and two, you can make pretty good rabbits. Stew or fried rabbit. And he's big, so you could make a lot. You could feed a whole family, two tooth fairy. I would kiss and then Santa Claus.00:01:36JackThat's true. That's true, yeah.00:01:41JackYou can see the whole family, yeah.00:01:49XochitlI would marry because, uh, three toys for the rest of your life. That living on North Pole sounds like a bummer, but.00:01:59XochitlUh, you could take his magic sleigh and probably go to the beach or wherever you wanted.00:02:04JackYeah, yeah. Now let me just think about he's kind of like the king of the North Pole. Like you're you. That means you're the queen like you.00:02:06XochitlSo you kind of have.00:02:14XochitlYeah, but who really wants to be the queen of the North Pole, though? It's like they're really close.00:02:18JackI don't know, it just seems like.00:02:20JackAll the you know the the workshops and all the elves and everything. It just seems like a like a bustling little city. I don't know. It might get old but.00:02:30XochitlI think it's cold. I think it's like cold, but you would get to, we did have a conversation like a little similar like would you want to visit the North Pole or something before? And I think it would be cool because you would be like exposed to it, a new culture that you've never been exposed.00:02:44Xochitl2.00:02:44JackYeah, that's true. That's true. I mean, other than like the tooth fairy culture, which is just like you just.00:02:46XochitlWhich I think of you.00:02:50XochitlBut you did too big to enjoy it like, cause you, like, crush all the fairies you could. You couldn't stay anywhere. You could only like, look at them with a magnifying glass or something, I assume.00:02:55JackRight. I didn't think about that. She's tiny.00:03:02JackNow you could study them scientifically.00:03:03XochitlCan you? I have a question actually answer. Can you shrink down to fairy size if you marry the tooth fairy?00:03:13JackYeah, because, I mean, if you, if you even just for a kiss you you're you know it it doesn't work unless you're equal size. I mean, I'm assuming you said kiss the tooth fairy because you know that the the breadth and the and is minty fresh and.00:03:30XochitlI didn't think about that. I was just thinking, I thought you couldn't shrink down the tooth fairy size and in that situation.00:03:32발표자Oh.00:03:37XochitlWhy would I want to be like stuck? You know, I out walked outside of a world that I couldn't access because it's tiny. It's like the size of your hand or whatever. Yeah.00:03:47JackYeah, well, they have to be big enough to carry teeth around, but makes it and leave coins, yeah.00:03:52XochitlOh, OK, that's true. So maybe they're like the size of the baby, or like a toddler or something, but, well, I.00:03:57JackYeah, it's.00:03:59XochitlThought they were.00:03:59XochitlSmaller than that, I thought they were like the size of a Hummingbird, but they just had, like Ant level strength, so they can carry the teeth.00:04:04JackRight. They they I think that's what they're like. They're like hummingbirds. You know, they're almost. You can't even see them.00:04:10JackUh.00:04:10XochitlYeah, but I guess they can. I guess maybe they would be imperceptible because they have special magic. Maybe to shrink the teeth down or something if they. If they can shrink. If I could shrink down to the size of the tooth fairy, I'm it might be more of a debate. But if I can't adjust my size, then I'm cool with marrying Santa.00:04:18JackYes.00:04:30JackOK. No, I I think you, I think you nailed it this one. I think you're right on.00:04:34XochitlOK. Yeah. What's your name?00:04:35JackDefinitely. Bunny Stew, minty fresh kiss and you get to be the queen of the North Pole. So I'm.00:04:43JackI'm down with that. That's that definitely works.00:04:47JackOK, let me see here. I've got a couple of other ones. We'll do a couple more. Alright, Harry Potter.00:04:54JackHermione Granger, Ron Weasley.00:04:57JackThese are the very proud.00:04:58XochitlHarry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley. I always had a soft spot for Ron. Only yes, I always did. I don't know why my ginger. Yeah, I come from a ginger family and I'm kind of I'm. I have my hairs all burned. So. So yeah, I I I I only synthesize with him.00:05:05JackReally.00:05:08JackGinger. OK, interesting.00:05:19XochitlHowever, he wouldn't be the best choice to marry practically just because, uh.00:05:26JackYeah, he's kind of a he's. He's just.00:05:27XochitlAnd this is kind of stupid. Well, supposedly stupid I did. I used to resent that when I was younger, but as I've grown older, he is a little bit on the numb school side and he's poor. So you're not getting a lot out of him. It's not the practical choice.00:05:29JackRight, right.00:05:44JackAnd it's not like in in that in that world, it's like if your if your family is is like.00:05:50JackWere.00:05:51JackThere you, you will be exactly like your family. There's there's no like moving up.00:05:57JackIt's just that's what they are. Like the Weasleys are these kind of bumbling, happy family, but but poor people, it's it's it's very strange, yeah.00:05:57XochitlRight.00:06:07발표자Right.00:06:09XochitlSo Jane or it's like you could marry Hermione, and then no, I don't. I OK, I would not want to marry her mind just because she seems like such a perfectionist. I think it would be hard to be yourself fully because I feel like she'd only be pushing you to better yourself, which can be great, but like at some point you want to be comfortable in a long term marriage.00:06:29XochitlRight. I mean I think.00:06:30JackYeah.00:06:30JackYeah.00:06:31XochitlSo I think for me, I would kiss Hermione and I would marry Ron.00:06:35XochitlUM.00:06:37XochitlAnd I would kill Harry. I never liked Harry that much. I'll be real.00:06:40발표자Yeah.00:06:41JackYeah, he is annoying.00:06:43JackYeah, I'm gonna kill Harry immediately. Yeah, but I'm gonna marry.00:06:44XochitlHe is.00:06:46XochitlOK. OK. On the same page as be interesting, OK.00:06:49JackYeah, well, I'm. I'm. I'm also on the same page, but I think you know, I'm gonna marry Hermione and probably just kiss Ron because he'll appreciate it. You know, even just a kiss.00:07:02XochitlRight. He won't care either way, I guess. Why would you want to marry Hermione? I'm interested.00:07:03JackYeah, you won't care either way, yeah.00:07:09JackI know I I I mean she she's very intelligent, you know. She's got that's why.00:07:14JackI thought she.00:07:14JackWas too good for Ron. You know, when they got together? Didn't they end up together in the?00:07:18XochitlThat's true. Yes, they do end up together.00:07:19JackIn the books.00:07:21JackYeah. Yeah. I always wanted Harry. I thought, you know, Harry and Hermione would.00:07:26XochitlI never liked that. I didn't think they'd be a good match. I didn't like.00:07:30XochitlI I thought Hermione was fine with Ron.00:07:35XochitlI didn't like I I thought that maybe Harry and Luna Lovegood would have been a good match instead of Harry and Jenny.00:07:42JackYeah. No, I agree with that too. Yeah, you're right. You're right. But.00:07:46JackBut but I mean.00:07:47JackI I was, I was kind of cheering for Ron, like like he's he he married way.00:07:52JackOutside of his, you know.00:07:55XochitlWeek maybe?00:07:57JackYeah, he he's he. He's he's he's fighting way above his weight class, we say in.00:08:03XochitlBut but it it's shown in the in the in the movies in the book that if he had more confidence he could achieve a lot. Because remember when he was like a a star Quidditch player and it was really just because.00:08:16발표자This.00:08:17XochitlHe had confidence because they had the little vial that was supposed to make him uhm.00:08:23XochitlMake all your dreams come true or whatever. And he drank it and he was a star colitis player. But then Harry just started refilling it with water or something. And Ron still kept winning. All the quidditch matches cause he was actually just really skilled sportsman athlete.00:08:31JackHi.00:08:35JackRight, right. He just had low. He just has low self esteem, you know. Yeah, yeah.00:08:39XochitlYes. Yeah. So I anyway, I would be happy with with Ron, but I see your point about marrying her money. But don't you think it would get old to have someone that was that much of A?00:08:49XochitlJust gonna be grinding on you.00:08:50JackYeah, I know. But I'm but.00:08:53JackYeah, I mean, I I've been. I already married Hermione. Like already. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So.00:08:57XochitlOh, your wife's like that. Oh, so she's a perfectionist as well.00:09:02JackYeah, yeah, type A, you know, perfectionist married a schlubby. Ron Weasley, type guy. Except I'm not ginger. I don't have ginger.00:09:11XochitlIf you're not, you're bald.00:09:11발표자Yeah.00:09:12JackYeah, I'm bald. So yeah, it's even worse. And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But when I, when I just had that epiphany.00:09:17XochitlThat's funny.00:09:22JackLike about 5 seconds ago I was like ohh alright I I already married her mine so.00:09:24XochitlOh yeah.00:09:27XochitlYeah, I like being the smart one in the relationship. Maybe most women do. I don't know if if our listeners feel like that, let us know. I like. I think I like being the smart one and the perfectionist and everything in a relationship. I I don't want someone who's like smarter than me, me like, be more perfusionist than me, if that makes sense.00:09:45JackYeah.00:09:47JackI think that makes sense and I think I think a lot, a lot of men appreciate intelligent women. You know, it's not, you know, especially if you're if you have low self esteem like me and Ron, then you, you you're not you're you're not like scared of of intelligent women you're just like oh, I appreciate that you know it's like.00:09:52발표자That's fair.00:10:07XochitlBut I admire that. It's like since I.00:10:08JackYeah, I admire that. Like who? Someone's got to balance the checkbook in in this, in this household, someone has to know where the money is and which banks they're stored in. Do you know, I don't know that information. So.00:10:21발표자Erase.00:10:25JackAlright, let's do one last one, because this is too funny for me. Batman, Catwoman, the Joker.00:10:34발표자Ah.00:10:36XochitlDifficult. It's hard to decide between killing Batman or the Joker because they're two sides of the same coin.00:10:43JackI know.00:10:44XochitlUh.00:10:47XochitlBut at least Batman like.00:10:49XochitlBatman is marginally better, so I would kill the Joker, kiss Batman. I definitely marry Catwoman because she's better than than.00:10:57XochitlEither.00:10:57JackShe's like the least worst option. Like, at least all she does is steal. She's not a killer. She's.00:11:00XochitlYes, you like to leave bad.00:11:03JackNot like a murderer.00:11:05XochitlRight. She's just like, yeah, she's only got something up her sleeve, but she's not as bad.00:11:09XochitlAs the other two who are like the same.00:11:10JackRight. She's she's sneaking out at night, but you're like, OK. All right, at least you're not trying to kill me in my sleep, you know?00:11:20XochitlAnd my food would kill other people or whatever. So yeah.00:11:22JackAnd Batman would just be brooding around all the time. He'd be so depressing, you know, to marry Batman.00:11:28JackIt'd be like, you know, it's like smile once in a while. Come on, man.00:11:32XochitlAnd you said, did you launch you with money and it's like, have you ever seen that meme? That's like, the only reason that Batman mask doesn't cover his whole face is because he needs police to know that he's white.00:11:44XochitlRight, right. Right. That's so true. So he, he just told you with money, so I wouldn't.00:11:47JackYes, yes.00:11:52XochitlThey want to marry him, I don't think.00:11:52JackYeah.00:11:54JackSo yeah, I'm gonna kill the Joker because the the the Joker is just pure chaos. Like he he's a scorpion. You know the Batman? I guess I I'd have to kiss him. Which, you know, maybe he's still not going to smile, you know?00:12:01XochitlYeah, he's a problem.00:12:14JackSo brooding all the time, so angry and I'd marry Catwoman. But I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her because.00:12:23JackYou know, it's Catwoman. She's a a cat burglar, so yeah.00:12:27XochitlRight. Yeah. If she's only got something up her sleeve, she'll probably disappear after a month of marriage. So.00:12:32JackRight into the seat. Just she'll just run away and you get into the annulled and move on with your life and.00:12:38XochitlYeah. So that'd be nice. You wouldn't have to worry about being tied to either the chaos of the Joker playing mind games or to Batman, who's just a nightmare.00:12:46발표자Exactly.00:12:47XochitlShooting.00:12:47JackReally. Yeah. The narcissist, the depressive and the I don't know. What you what Catwoman is but.00:12:54XochitlAnd it's like the avoidant, probably like the avoidance. Yeah.00:12:56JackYou're right.00:12:58JackIt's it's. This is definitely at least worse kind of situation here, but.00:13:03XochitlYeah.00:13:05JackAlright. Well that's it.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the history, as we know it, of the well known and well loved Weasley family. Even those not terribly familiar with the wizarding world of Harry Potter will have likely—at the very least—HEARD of the large and lovable Weasley clan. Recognized not only by their shock of bright red hair but also by their unwavering loyalty and widespread reputation for believing all witches and wizards are equal, the Weasleys are present within the novels and films from almost the very beginning of the series. First introduced during the famous scene at King's Cross Station in which Harry searches for Platform 9 ¾s, we meet Ron, his mother, Molly, and four of Ron's six siblings before Harry even boards the Hogwarts Express. From there, Harry and Ron go on to create one of the strongest friendships of the entire series, with the orphaned “Boy Who Lived” spending much of his time with, not only Ron, but the entire Weasley family during the many holidays and special events that take place over the years. But where did this famous family of redheads known for their strong beliefs and affiliation with doing “what is right”—even in the face of financial instability—come from? What is the history of the Weasley family? Let's start from the beginning. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are happily joined once again by Dr. Zheala Qayyum, child & adolescent psychiatrist extraordinaire and medical director of Emergency Psychiatry Services at Boston Children's Hospital, to analyze the second "Harry Potter" movie. In this film, we begin meeting some extra special supporting characters like Dobby, Moaning Myrtle, Tom Riddle, and the Malfoy family. In this episode, we explore the themes of tween development and self-identity, specifically as it relates to Harry grappling with the "good" (Gryffindor) and "bad" (Slytherin) parts of himself. We also discuss narcissism as it relates to Gilderoy Lockhart, parental expectations as it relates to the Malfoys, and bullying as it relates to Moaning Myrtle, and classism and racism as they relate to Dobby and mudbloods. We also reflect on one of our favorite Dumbledore quotes - "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” We hope you enjoy!Watch this episode on YouTube!!InstagramTikTokWebsiteDr. Katrina Furey: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fury, a psychiatrist.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker.

If you haven't listened to our last episode with please, you know, go back in your feed a little bit to find our first episode about Harry Potter and the sorcerer's Stone, because we're going to rebuild on that. And just to remind you. So Gila is the attending psychiatrist at Harvard. Basically, she's the medical director of the emergency Psychiatry Service and the director of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship program. She also remains on staff at Yale University, which is where I met her as my inpatient attending on the child and adolescent unit. So we love her because she's awesome and because she's so good at using fairy tales like Harry Potter to talk about development and themes about child and adolescent psychiatry. So we're just thrilled to have you back.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: No, thank you for having me. And I'm so excited that I get to do something that's dear to my heart and has fascinated me since I was in medical school, so that I'm kind of giving my age away. That's when I read Harry Potter. But to do it with some of my favorite people, so I think there's nothing better.Dr. Katrina Furey: Awesome. Well, so where do we get started, Portia?Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't know. I mean, they're back for year two, right? So I think the shock to Harry maybe isn't entirely over because there's, like, new monsters and people that he's meeting every year, but the fact that there is magic out there, I guess I would start with him returning home to the Dursleys, which I have never been happy about. I think we learn later kind of why, but now seeing him being so mistreated and kind of brought all back with the trauma, like, here we are. Know, you don't know Dudley is so amazing. Your parents were bad. It's like all these messages kind of return. So I think we should start there.Dr. Katrina Furey: I do think it's so realistic, though, unfortunately, right, that know Harry finally finds his place in Hogwarts and these people where he feels safe and loved and special. And what's awesome about Harry is the specialness isn't really what he loves, the know, like, seeking that part out. He just likes feeling secure and loved. And now he's to go back for the summer to this abusive environment. And I just think, unfortunately, that does mirror a lot of kids who are growing up in abusive households that you hope they have a place to go where they can see, like, the world won't always be like this, but he does have to go back, and it totally sucks.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, it's like school, I guess.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: Yeah, exactly. And I think similarly we see what happens in many abusive relationships, although this was not intentional and Dobby had a role to play in it, is that you get cut off from your supportive relationships, right. That we're going to bolt your window. You're not going to do the things that bring you joy or magic is not allowed. Your friends don't even care about you to write to you. And all those things that he felt like he got in the first year were just suddenly taken away. And he sort of started believing it when he was like, maybe my friends won't come back, or I'm my own.Dr. Katrina Furey: Why haven't they written to me?Dr. Zheala Qayyum: A lot of self doubt, a lot of like, he's still growing in confidence, still thinking about what is real and what's not. And I think the other thing, which sort of contrasts is you go to the jerseys and everything is so proper and everything has to be done this way. I will come and greet them. And then I think one of the stark contrasts is we get introduced to the boroughs, which is a whole different world, and it's still a family. And then it gives you a contrast of the sort of the orderliness, the rigidness, the regimentedness at private drive. And then you go to the chaos of boroughs that is full of love and caring, and yet it has room for the unexpected. Each kid is different and accepted for being dragon trainers and whatever else that they're doing. I think we talked a little about this in the last one, where in such a big family, Ron is a little lost that his attachment style we talked about is a little like, anxious. He doesn't know if he'll get looked over in all of this chaos. But there is just so much curiosity. I think that was one thing that is so starkly different between those two households where the adults in boroughs are fostering curiosity and modeling curiosity for their kids. Like, what is this function of this rubber duck? Yeah, we're so fascinated, and yet there is no room for curiosity or thought in private drive.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I think different types of torture.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: For a young child.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Totally.Dr. Katrina Furey: And I think even in maybe a more stable, non abusive home, we see that, right, in kids who maybe their parents have high expectations for them or want them to turn into x, y or z and don't leave room for the child's unique personality or individuality or interests. That can happen even if you're not being abused or neglected. Right. Like Harry. So I thought that was also just a beautiful addition to the story that I think matching kids watching it, even adults watching it, it'll resonate with them.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think it's funny and a little like, well, what else is Mr. Dursley supposed to say when Harry has the cake and it looks like he's doing it and then it goes over his client's wife and then he's, you know, that's my nephew.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: He's very disturbed.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: We didn't want him coming down to non magical people, Muggles. I think sometimes what we don't know is scary or disturbing. But I just thought it was, like, an interesting word choice, disturbed. I guess it fits from a Muggle's perspective of what's going on. And then also just like, they think he's disturbed and they think he's unwell and weird and crazy and bad, too. But I felt bad for Hedwig. We talk usually about people, but being stuck in her little cage, not being allowed to be let out. But, yes, we are introduced to Dobby, and he doesn't seem so great at first, right? He's like all this mischievous stuff. He's this new creature and he's starting to. Right? Like every time he says something not nice about his master or the family he works for, he kind of like self harms, right? So he's like hitting him up on the head with a lamp, banging his hand down. And Harry's like, what are you. Stop. Stop. And I think it's so telling to. Harry's so kind and nurturing, just spirit that we see again through the rest of the movies, especially with Dobby, that he's like, please stop. What are you doing? Please don't do this.Dr. Katrina Furey: Makes him uncomfortable.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: Yeah.Dr. Katrina Furey: I'm dying to hear what you think of Dobby, Dr. Q. I think Dobby.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And I think it evolves more over the next book movies is. I think it's a bigger question of representation of race and otherness in the books because there's not a lot of focus on race per se. And yet there is in the pure bloods and the Muggles. And then there's even the people who sort of are very thoughtful about how Hagrid and the Weasleys support Muggleborn wizards and witches. There is in wizarding families. There's this neglect and oversight of these elves like nonexistent and invisible. And I think we see in the future books, too that there are characters who really take a lot of issue with sort of this thought about pure bloodedness and yet they're perfectly fine with elves working in their homes. So I just think it's interesting that there is even despite a lot of awareness there's sort of blind spot that Hermione picks up on later in the later books about these elves are being mistreated. But then also you see someone being restricted in what they can do and genuinely care about someone and just how their methods are.Dr. Katrina Furey: Right, but that's such a great point. And I thought of that too, in rewatching the movie again and perhaps especially now that I'm older and the times we're living in. It was such an interesting commentary on race and identity. That's like the whole plot of this movie, right? That, you know, Salazar Slytherin left this chamber of secrets with the basilisk that's meant to wipe out all the mudbloods, right? It's basically like the goal is genocide here, right? And we start to see what characters are for this, which ones are against it, who is a Mudblood, but even within that, exactly like what you're saying there's this blind spot to the elves and it's almost like, could be a parallel to what we might call these days, like microaggressions. Like, even if you mean well, the stuff you've grown up with could still be deeply rooted and you got to open your eyes to it. And it's a really interesting way to start introducing that concept to little kids or anyone.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But I think it's really fascinating in terms of storytelling and fairy tales how this big, sometimes difficult topic is presented.Dr. Katrina Furey: So well in this movie.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And it's so clear. And then you see, we see Draco seeing Harry getting all this attention when he. Lockhart. Right. We'll talk about him. Oh, my God. And Draco's so angry that. How dare Harry be getting all this attention, like, I'm a pure blood. I've been taught that I should be. Right. Like on stage with Lockhart. Why aren't then? You know, then he's terrible to the Dursleys. And then you see his dad walk in, you're like, oh, well, this is why. But you see. And good acting, I guess, with Tom Felton, like as a child, but the rage, he's so angry.Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, right. And we really get to meet. Or we start to meet the Malfoy family, right? We don't meet the mom yet whose name is Narcissa, which I always think is interesting. But again, Giela, I'm dying to hear what you think about the depiction of the Malfoys in this.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: It is, actually, I'm really intrigued by that sort of dynamic because I also think, interestingly, I think given my own south asian background, the whole colonialism and the british aristocracy and this sort of eliteness and classism that comes in and sort of, if that's the norm, how awful not to feel special.Dr. Katrina Furey: For Draco.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: Yes, right. If this is part of your identity and this is what you've been brought up with, and then suddenly someone comes and challenges what you know. I think one of the most interesting things I was told about child development was if parents do it right, every little child should have a little bit of narcissism going into school, knowing that they're special and that they're the kings and queens of their own little kingdoms. Then they come to school, and now you have to navigate other kings and queens. And I kind of see that happening a little later. For Draco, we would expect that happening earlier in school age, but now he's sort of met someone who can actually, he can find threatening.Dr. Katrina Furey: And so it sounds like what you're saying, too, is that hopefully, if you have good enough parents, they've instilled that healthy degree of narcissism in you, right, where you are confident, you do feel special, you feel unconditionally loved. And they're not the ones challenging it. Maybe at first, but then hopefully they can help you wrap your head around it and say, like, you are the best to us and there's other people around and their needs matter too. Right? You have to balance that with some empathy, altruism, integrity. And it's when those things are out of balance that I think we start to see personality pathology either way, whether it's more the narcissistic way or it's more of the know avoidant kind of way.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, no, that's true, because we see it again later in the movie with Hermione and Draco when she's challenging him a. She challenges him academically and know a mudbud, but we also see her directly challenge him about his father buying the team all brooms and like, well, that's how you got on the team. And harry didn't need know, like, how dare you call me out and take my crown off my head? And you're right. Like, someone who I consider lesser. And I think then we see them really kind of throughout the movies, which we will cover go head to head a lot. But I think she really grinds his gears.Dr. Katrina Furey: That scene was hard to watch, even now. And just, you could tell, like, the word mudblood is like a racial slur. And they were all just really shocked he would even say it. It's one of those things where it's, know, maybe they all kind of sense. He thinks that. But then to be so. Just willing to say it so aggressively and in such a mean way. And then you see Harry not really understand, which, again, what a thoughtful way to introduce that concept, right. For him as a real outsider, not to get it. And now they're having to explain it to him again, really, I think mirrors trying to start to explain hard facts about the reality of the world to small children as they start to see things and ask questions.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And I think that's actually one of the loveliest things about the Harry Potter movies and books, is that it parallels real life so well. Like, these kind of growing pains and experiences are so normal for kids in schools, and it is developmentally appropriate. Like, kids who have seen racism or racial slurs being modeled in their homes would have no qualms about saying it outside.Dr. Katrina Furey: Right.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: I think that's kind of where Draco is coming from, is we know that the father put the book in the cauldron, so he's been exposed to these, so it's not different for him. But like you said, for Harry, it's completely unknown. And then just how kids navigate this, like, their groups and their rivalries and their exams and their classes, I think because it's so close to real life, that it really resonates with. It may be a different school, but a. It exists in our world, even if it is magical. But I think the relatability of all the challenges that these kids are seeing and experiencing is just so relatable for kids.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, no, I agree. Even thinking of just being silly and wanting a letter, I don't think I wanted or thought that I would be in Narnia. Right. You were saying this before, Sheila, or I didn't think that I was going to be in the Lord of the Rings, but I feel like Harry Potter is so different because it is in the real world. Right. And I was like, well, maybe I could get a letter.Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I could go to the school. And I think, again, that resonates. And especially watching them grow up, like, we all can reflect back on childhood moments and betrayals in friendships early on and kids being not so nice on the playground. It's like that's all so real. And whether it's playing Quidditch or playing soccer, it's like it's the same feelings.Dr. Katrina Furey: Exactly. And it's interesting. In Harry Potter, I think, Jaylee, you were saying this before we started recording a little bit. Know the world of Hogwarts and magic is existing in parallel to reality or like the Mudblood world. And in this movie, we start to see what happens when these two worlds start to collide. And it's almost like an interesting metaphor maybe, for what it's like for Harry to be going back and forth, or maybe for any of them to go back and forth but know, dangerous it is for other people to start to recognize that there is this magical world. It kind of reminds me of how we talk about aliens. Are they there? Are they not there? And just all that stuff.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You. We'd probably think they were an alien, right? Someone doing magic or seeing a car.Dr. Katrina Furey: Flying through the sky.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: Seven muggles saw that.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. So they were, I'm assuming, right? Probably like obliviated, which makes me think of our dear friend, which I know. Katrina, you are dying to talk about Lockhart. And his best skill is apparently obliviating all these witches and wizards who he's stolen stories from to make him.Dr. Katrina Furey: Sheila, please, please share with us your deepest, darkest thoughts about him.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: Well, I think when I first see him, the most interesting thing is just how in awe Hermione is and all the girls and the little ones. And when he comes to know, Gildray Lockhart aside, I thought it was just very interesting to see how in this book, you see crushes develop a little. And even for Ron and Hermione, at the end, when she gets unpetrified, she goes, Harry. But there's this awkwardness between Ron and Hermione, which was really adorable.Dr. Katrina Furey: They just, like, shake hands. They're like, I don't know what to do.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So cute.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: So I just felt like this was very interesting about narcissism that we were thinking about narcissist. But really, Gildoria Lockhart is. Remember, there was one classification somewhere in one of the papers about different types of narcissists, and there was the exhibitionistic narcissist, which was all about, look at me, I'm performing, so I kind of see him that way 100%. But also you see the compensatory narcissism of I'm not good enough. So how can I make myself be more likable, more inflated, more worthwhile? Clearly, he can't even do simple dueling spells.Dr. Katrina Furey: No, right.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Well, I could have stopped you if I wanted to, but for the purpose of instruction, I chose not to. It's like fun.Dr. Katrina Furey: But honestly, though, what a classic narcissistic defense, right? That's exactly what someone with these traits or full blown narcissistic personality disorder, that's exactly how they would respond, right? The fact that in the film, he is so handsome and showy, and there's a big crowd, and again, he can only associate with Harry Potter, right? With other fancy, special people. Not Draco, even. He's not special. Know, it's just like so on point. And then when we learn that actually it's all a big farce, actually, he's been stealing other people's ideas and then obliviating their minds, that's like the ultimate gaslighting, right? It's just so perfect. I just loved the depiction of this. As we keep doing this podcast, we keep talking about narcissism so much, and I'm like, why are we seeing this everywhere? But we really are seeing it in so much different types of media. And this was just such a good spot on, I thought, representation of it, and even, like, the common defense mechanisms and the inner wound, it was just perfect.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And the most, I thought cute part was when he gets obliviated himself. He's so nice.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I know.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: Imagine someone without that narcissism if you take that away from him. He was lovely.Dr. Katrina Furey: I know. And it's so interesting, right, that it's like children who are taking it away from him, right? Who can finally challenge him. And I think that does maybe even speak to. There's always good inside, I hope maybe.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You see, I think.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: I don't want.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: To say, like, the good side of narcissism. You see the likable side of narcissism through the whole movie, and you're like, oh, well, it's not that bad. But then when he, all of a sudden, it's like his mask comes off when he is about to obliviate them and take credit. And it's so ugly and different from before, just being showy and almost. And then there it is. There's the calculated kind of manipulative place that, I don't know, expectative side.Dr. Katrina Furey: Exactly.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yes.Dr. Katrina Furey: And that's the side that I think people who are in relationships with people with narcissistic traits see that other people on the outside don't see. And I'm sure in all of our work we have worked with children, adolescent adults who are coping with and trying to process the pain of that. Right. Because then it's not just when you're relating to someone like that. They manipulate you to start doubting your own sense of them and sense of reality. Then you start doubting it and then it's like everyone around you unwittingly contributes to that because they don't see the real person. Right. So again, just like beautiful representation of that.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And I think it also points to the difference between adults and children in this, how they approached it. Because you see Snape, he knew what this guy was about. I mean, he did his way of sort of showing what it was like, but he never confronted him. And then you say McGonagall going and say time has come for you to do what you're best at, right? And then he tries to run away. But none of the adults, even if they know what he's about, confronted him, kind of played along. And I think that is also very relevant to people that you are around who might have narcissism. And people just tend to appease them and work with them because what else are you going to do? And yet they can anything to lose and they were able to call him.Dr. Katrina Furey: Out and maybe even building on that. That's so fascinating. I think it also speaks to the danger in confronting someone with these traits. And I would say he also has some sociopathic traits. Perhaps if you're going to obliviate children for your own gain, there's a danger that comes with confronting someone like this. Right? It's going to provoke what we call a narcissistic injury or narcissistic rage. Sometimes all that means is they yell at you or they stonewall you, they never talk to you again, but sometimes they could actually hurt you, like we see here, where he's then going to obliviate all of them. And maybe Snape and McGonagall as adults with fully developed frontal lobes somewhere in there, appreciate that. So they know how to toe the line, but children don't right especially maybe at their age they're still coping with I would think like that very rigid sense of right and wrong and maybe they're struggling to see like well why don't you understand this is wrong so stop doing very. That can be dangerous to confront people like, yeah.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I think it's interesting that Dumbledore who's kind of to me like all knowing goes along with it and I think the other professors take their cues from him and I wonder if Dumbledore in that moment was like leave or we're done with you. I think the other professors would have jumped on and been like yes, we don't like you or you're a fraud. But he had a very interesting, he didn't really say anything. Yeah. And he's powerful and certainly more powerful and is the person that I think could absolutely send him on his way without really repercussions and he didn't.Dr. Katrina Furey: He also probably hired. Exactly. Were they desperate?Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Maybe that position, right.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: It's cursed.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And Lockhart probably thought well I could do it because I'm the best that.Dr. Katrina Furey: There ever was and I could imagine we've come to find out. I don't think we know it yet but how much Snape wants it and I bet there's some tension there with Dumbledore not letting him take know. We see that tension with Snape come out with every single defense against the dark arts teacher over time.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: True.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And then to Dumbledore's point there was a lot more stuff happening that I think he was tied up in maybe like that children getting know being sent to Azkaban his own position being threatened. And I think that's the other thing. I draw the parallel of Lockhart's popularity to social media which is like if someone this popular says something about you at this juncture it's going to really impact your credibility because we have so many followers.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: True.Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh that's a really good point. That's a really good point. I thought the supporting characters in this movie were all so fascinating in their own ways. Like we've talked about some of them already. Dobby Lockhart, the Malfoy family. I also want to make sure we leave time to talk about moaning Myrtle, Fox, the Phoenix and Tom Riddle. But before we get there, Gila I was hoping you could speak more to the father son dynamic between Draco and Lucius Malfoy. And again I think probably intentional that they're know, white blonde british men.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right.Dr. Katrina Furey: As you're speaking to these cultural and racial differences like perfect casting it was lovely.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: I think the way they selected both of them and sort of Lucius's haughtiness and arrogance that comes through. But it also shows you his narcissism. Like the minute he finds that he was scammed by Harry for Dobby, his wand comes out.Dr. Katrina Furey: There's that narcissistic injury. There's. It is.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: You took something from me without my permission. How dare you? And then you also have this underlying dynamic of the Slytherin family their sort of loyalty to Salazar Slytherin, Voldemort being Slytherin's heir, who had opened the chamber of Secrets. It is all this loyalty and alliance and the way I would see that dynamic of it is something like father son passed on. But I think in the later books you also see the tension the Malfoy parents have in trying to keep their son. The dilemmas that they're sort of poor Draco is put in and this challenging situations that they are sort of stuck with, this alliance that they've formed. I also sort of draw the parallel of these are sort of the loyalties and belonging that people form to different groups that families can sort of inherit. I think one of the very poignant quotes I once read was that when we're born, we're given our name, an identity, a religion, a race, and we spend our whole lives trying to defend them. We chose none of it.Dr. Katrina Furey: That's so powerful and so true. I was just thinking too, like gender, even in this.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And you have no control or choice in the matter. So there is a lot of, I think, modeling for Draco from Lucius. But I think later on, maybe not in this book, you kind of see their struggles of trying to know that your son belongs in this circle and how are you going to keep him safe knowing it's dangerous and all those things can be potentially fatal for him. And I think similarly with Voldemort and Salazar Slytherin, that whole thing about true blood and belonging to the true blood family. Similarly, Salazar Slytherin created the chamber of secrets for that reason. All of that just points towards this sort of propagation. Yet it is very covert, it is hidden, it is done on the sides, which is just such a lovely parallel to what happens with racism that, yes, when you give it permission, it becomes very overt and yet there are so many people who have it and maybe are just acculturated and this is their norm that they don't realize it and when given the opportunity, it comes up. But in other circumstances, it's very hidden.Dr. Katrina Furey: And even it's just such a beautiful visual representation of that. Right. Even the fact that it's, like in the bathroom. Right. Like, you can turn on the faucet and it'll flood or you can turn it off. It can trickle or you can go down the tube. Right. It's so beautifully masterfully done.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: What do we think about snakes, right. And, like, the symbolism of just, like, the monster being a snake. The symbol to talk to snakes, Harry. And then in book one, we see that right away kind of with him hearing at the zoo.Dr. Katrina Furey: At the zoo.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's a good animal that they chose.Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right.Dr. Katrina Furey: Because snakes are kind of like. A lot of people are scared of them. They're slimy, they're slithery. They kind of catch it by surprise. They can bite you and hurt you sometimes they're totally harmless. A quote that really stuck out to me in this movie was when Hermione told Harry hearing voices no one else can hear isn't a good sign, even in the wizarding world.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: True. Which is why I think that's the parallel of how close to reality that whole place is.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Imagine hearing them.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: Right?Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like, Harry. I mean, like, all of a sudden you're hearing this whooshing through the wall and then you're hearing this voice and everyone else is just like, what are you talking about? I mean, what a challenging ordeal to go through. And then it is real, right. Which is kind of like, thank goodness. Because then there's maybe other concerns going on if it's not. But that's hard shouldering again. It's like he's out on this island, right? He's Harry Potter.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: He's unique.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And now it's, again, like this thing that makes him unique. Not really in a good way in this movie.Dr. Katrina Furey: In a scary way. And I think we start to see him grappling with the good and bad dark parts of himself which it seems like he shares with Voldemort. Right? And we start to see that inner tension he has. Like, should I been a slytherin? Am I a Gryffindor? As if it's so black or white. We start to see that such a beautiful representation.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And I think similarly to your point, like snakes, I know, from a psychodynamic perspective, have a very different meaning. But I think the one thing about it is that the places they can penetrate and go. And I think that was with the basilisk that you have Hogwarts, the safe space of where magic is. This is sort of this magic central for education and learning and yet it is penetrated by evil. Forces from within and they're lurking. They're again, in the shadows. I think that's about snakes, is they hide in dark places. So I think there is this whole veil of. I read an article about this veil of concealment and deceit and deception that is very prevalent throughout all of the chamber of secrets because it's a chamber of secrets, right?Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's in the name, literally.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: The deception, like the diary, deceives Jenny and it also kind of speaks to the power of words which can really influence people. Then the deception with the polyjuice that they're able to get some information, but they have to conceal, know, deceive, concealment under the invisibility cloak and concealment in a way of like Gildor Lockhart concealing his real identity and the truth about himself. So a lot of general themes about deception and concealment. And then I think the symbolism of the snake is also in the Garden of Eden about deception. So I think there are a lot of different themes and motifs and parallels around that. But to your point about the sort of ambivalence around your identity and belonging and I think between him and Voldemort, the core of the wands are the same. They are both parcel mouths. They are both, like, raised somewhat by Muggles. He was in an orphanage. He was with the Dursleys. So very similar life experiences that they start showing to where Dumbledore will say that it's the choices that you make that make all the difference. You can see that with all these similarities you can actually show kids and adults that really, just because we say someone had a very different upbringing or a difficult start or has certain traits, it's not a life sentence. And what a beautiful message to give that even if the things are against you and you have seen other role models or people that you sort of can identify with have very different paths that are not ideal, you can still carve a different one with the choices that you make.Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. That's so beautiful. And I think it's so important. I'd imagine, especially when you're working with kids and adolescents who are coming from difficult backgrounds, whatever they might be, even adults. But I think maybe especially when you're still forming your identity to know that you don't have to follow this path, you can make different choices. And that even though there might be parts of you that remind you of. I'm just thinking about, like a parent, maybe an abusive parent or you get angry and lash out, that doesn't mean you're just like them. And I think that's something that's so painful for people to process and work through when they're trying to recover from an upbringing like that.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And I think that also speaks to corrective parenting like you have McGonagall and Dumbledore in a way that is a very stark contrast to Molly Weasley and also Petunia Dursley and Uncle Vernon where when they think they're going to get expelled and Professor McGonagall's response is, you're not getting expelled. But I must impress upon you the seriousness of what you've done. So they are really sort of the modeling of good parenting of they are trying to protect their kids but they are not fighting their fights for them. They are not going and intervening in every conflict. They are giving them their space to have their own adventures, come to their own conclusions, figure things out but still being sort of neutral, supportive, guiding, wise.Dr. Katrina Furey: But they don't give the kids the answers right.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And still.Dr. Katrina Furey: Think.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I wish that we got a little window into where when Ginny, I'm assuming, goes and meets her family or maybe sees her parents after the chamber. And just like I would imagine the support that she receives because she goes on to be appearingly a secure person. And I think it's even thinking of the build up before. I'm sure she's felt loved and important in the way that she can with so many siblings. And she's the only girl that she's okay. Even though dealing with this traumatic experience and having this relationship with Tom Riddle. Right. For almost the whole school year where she's writing and just thinking about all. I'm just so curious about how that affected her and why she was so susceptible to it. I think she got this special book and finally she had her own thing and this person wanted to talk to her. And of course, for her, I think it's just like a smart match which Lucius, I'm sure, knew.Dr. Katrina Furey: Yes, he did. These people can sniff it out, I always say.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And it also kind of sort of parallels how Draco is trying to put Harry and Hermione down how Lucius was trying to put the Weasleys down by sort of planting that book.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Book.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And he knew he would get Arthur Weasley into trouble because of all of this. And that was sort of the goal of if Jenny gets into trouble so there's bigger players and yet you have the little ones who have to go through these experiences.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah.Dr. Katrina Furey: Again, like you said, very covert and sort of maybe playing like a long game and using the children really? As pawns in his own game, which is pretty nasty.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah.Dr. Katrina Furey: Right in line with narcissism. Right in. So, you know, before we wrap up, Gila, I'm also dying to hear what you think about moaning Myrtle. One of my favorite characters of all time.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: Love moaning Myrtle.Dr. Katrina Furey: Love her.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: I just love the morbidity. Like, I was in my cubicle thinking of death.Dr. Katrina Furey: It's like, I don't know if you saw the Barbie movie that came out last summer.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Did you see it when they're all.Dr. Katrina Furey: Dancing and she's like, y'all ever think about dying? And everyone's like, we can't go there.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: But what I took from Morning Myrtle was sort of this invisibility of not being seen even after death. Like, just come and throw another book at me. Imagine the distress in which she died was crying. Like, she didn't even see who it was because she was crying and she was distraught. And just how lonely she is in that bathroom that she says, if you die, you can come.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah.Dr. Katrina Furey: And so different from nearly headless Nick, who's also a ghost and walking around, but almost revered. Right?Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like the crazy one who's up to no good. She's just in her bathroom being sad. But I really do want to say Harry's response, and I caught it this time, that I watched it with my mental health cap on. Ron is like, ew. And Harry's like, okay, sure, myrtle. Like, that's great. And he's just so kind and so just. I don't know. It's amazing, resilient.Dr. Katrina Furey: And I think he can tolerate that because he knows what that feels like. Right. Like, he just naturally, I think, will be more open to that. Maybe not even realize it's a strength.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: The rejection, the isolation. And I think it's just such a close parallel to kids who are being bullied, school, who go and hide in the bathrooms. It's just so real. But it also kind of tells you that that is such an impressionable time in someone's life that these insults, she could not get over them after death either. So that was part of her sadness. And the Persona she carried was she wasn't seen. Or if she was, it was not in a very positive way.Dr. Katrina Furey: And those words really leave a mark indefinitely in her case.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, it's sad again, but an important.Dr. Katrina Furey: Message for kids to learn, maybe, like, as you're watching the movie, the kindness.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And also, I think that's the other theme that comes up through the movie where you talked about Hermione sort of standing up to Draco is that kids facing bullying, how do you do that? How do you stand up when to walk away versus when to actually address it? I think they're just beautifully highlighted in a very subtle way, but it is modeling for kids and this is one adverse outcome. And yet here are some good, strong role models for you to see who are going to come across that bully.Dr. Katrina Furey: I think even a good role model for parents as I'm watching it now as a parent with my children who are younger than these kids in the movie but are already starting to face some of these issues. We don't live in an ideal world where you can just resolve conflict with your words alone or there's always an adult around who can intervene. Like, yes, that's the hope. But when it's not, you have to start talking to your kids about, well.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: What do you do?Dr. Katrina Furey: And those are hard conversations to have as a parent.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, but you're good at it, Dr. Fury. Yeah, I hope so. We'll see.Dr. Katrina Furey: Come back in about 15 years. We'll see how everything's going.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Well.Dr. Katrina Furey: Before we wrap up, are there any other lingering thoughts or themes we want to make sure we address? I think the only other one on my mind was Fox the Phoenix and how I'm going to call her a she. I don't remember Fox's gender. It doesn't really matter. But I've decided it's the girl like us. How she saves the know.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And Harry being a true Gryffindor, right? And that's what Dumbledore kind of reminds him of with the sword and then you called Fox, which means you must have been, I think it's like true of heart or you are putting yourself before someone else's needs to save. You know, thank goodness for Dumbledore because I think he really anchored Harry. And I did make the choice, right, to be in Gryffindor. I asked the hat and he was like, that's the difference which we mentioned before about the importance of our choices, despite what's sometimes in our environments or sometimes traits that we might have. And Fox is know, I love that they grow old and kind of like turn into ash and Harry's like, oh, my. Like, what's happening? Then the of out of death and darkness comes life and good things and rebirth.Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, it's really beautiful.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Thanks for reminding us of that. That's a better way to end than exactly some think.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: Yeah, I think too.Dr. Katrina Furey: Just again, this movie and all of Harry Potter really touches on the good and bad parts in all of us. How we all have good and bad parts, and that's okay. And that, like, if you look up the traits of a slytherin or a Gryffindor, which, you know, so slytherin, they know ambition, resourcefulness, determination, cleverness. That all sounds great when you channel it in the right way, but you could channel it in this sort of elitist, villainous way that Salazar, Slytherin and some others have sort of evolved into. And same thing with, know, bravery, honor, loyalty, boldness. Again, channel it in a good way.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Or you could kind of become reckless.Dr. Katrina Furey: Self righteous, have a short temper, always.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Want to be the hero.Dr. Katrina Furey: That can get you into trouble sometimes, but it's like a double sided sword. Is that a thing where it could be good or bad, depending on how you channel it. And again, that speaks to the choices that we make and so important for kids to hear, and I think I heard a quote somewhere, I'm going to butcher it now, probably where I think we're not responsible for the trauma we might be born into or grow up in, but we are responsible for then kind of what we do with it and how to move forward. And that's a really important point I think we all probably use in our work with people and maybe just as humans walking the earth.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Exactly.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And I just know, to your point, the fact. Well, I'll say two things. One is not all slytherins are bad, which is, I think, something Harry bought into when he was like, please don't put me in Slytherin when he was under the sorting hat. But really, I think that to your .1 of the biggest things about the loyalty, the sacrifice, and I think that was one of the things that, throughout the whole series, helped Harry differentiate himself from Voldemort, is the sense of love we've internalized, which is so important for kids and us as adults and human beings, is to know we were loved, even if our parents are not around, even if those people who loved us are not in our lives. Just that sense of being loved can really change the life of a human being, which is something Voldemort did not just helps anchor him into. Yes, if I was loved, I can sacrifice my love for others. I can be loyal to others.Dr. Katrina Furey: Right.Dr. Zheala Qayyum: And I think every child just wants to belong to Hogwarts.Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. And I think Harry, although he lost his parents so early, I think it's deep down he knows he was loved. And he's constantly told that over and over. Right. About his life story. So even though he didn't have it for very long. Somewhere in there, he knows it, and he's reminded of that, which is so important for kids.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah.Dr. Katrina Furey: And when you don't have it, you're really vulnerable to nefarious people out. Oh, gosh, what a great way to start my day. This is just such a treat. Thank you so much for joining us, Sheila. We love you for all the.Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I guess, you know.Dr. Katrina Furey: Do you want to tell everyone where they can find you on instagram?Dr. Zheala Qayyum: Sure.
