    DH: Chapter 18 - The Life & Lies of Albus Dumbledore

    Harry is quite despondent. No Ron. No sword. And now, no wand. It is becoming clearer in his mind that Dumbledore has essentially sent him on a wild goose chase with little information. Hosts David and Kyle discuss how his minset impacts his view of Dumbledore after reading some "scandalous" details from Rita's book: The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore. We learn more about his past, his connection to Grindelwald and what speaks more: Dumbledore's actions? Or his words?

    DH: Chapter 17 - Bathilda's Secret

    For someone who finds it hard to trust others, Harry sure puts a lot of trust into Bathilda Bagshot. Hosts David and Kyle discuss Harry's willingness to go along with Bagshot in search of answers and how this plan fails miserably. Also discussed is Voldemort's overall plan to lure Harry in and how it almost worked, and the overall creepy image of what occurs in Balthilda's decrepit old house.

    DH: Chapter 16 - Godric's Hollow

    Our gang is feeling plenty of sorrow to kick off this chapter. With Ron's departure, hosts David and Kyle discuss how Harry is seeking validation in Ron not being up for the task at hand, as well as Hermione's handling of the situation. Our hosts discuss the (im)practicalities of their plan to travel to Godric's Hollow and some of the things they forgot about the quaint village and its connection to Voldemort's actions on the Potter family. Plus, Harry visits his parents' grave, will it lead to some closure?

    DH: Chapter 12 - Magic is Might

    After staking out the entrance to the Ministry of Magic, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are now ready to concoct their plan to breach it. Hosts David and Kyle commend the trio's efforts to infiltrate the Ministry, discuss the quirks of British addresses (are houses really numbered sequentially?), the transformation of Kreacher and think back to if the "toad woman" reveal was actually a surprise the first time they read the series.

    DH: Chapter 11 - The Bribe

    The crew is holed up at Grimmauld Place and gets an unexpected visit from one of Harry's mentors Remus Lupin. Let's just say it doesn't end well and leads to quite the argument. Plus we learn some more about what's going on in the outside world from some Daily Prophet articles. Hosts David and Kyle break down the fight, who was in the wrong, and what to make of how the Death Eaters have efficiently taken control of the wizarding world.
