    #114 I'll Have the Espresso Martini | OOTP 16, In The Hog's Head

    Potter Revisited Episode #114 I'll Have the Espresso Martini AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 16 "In The Hog's Head" Never order an Espresso Martini (or any drink) from the Hog's Head Hermione has kept to herself about her idea for Harry to teach DADA for two weeks - very impressive for her  Harry is finally done his detentions with Umbridge but has a scar from her criminal methods, +1 sucks point  Hermione has advanced to vanishing kittens - does McGonagall not feel weird about that? Harry feels comfortable teaching Ron and Hermione DADA, but not with other people like Hermione suggests, which is understandable  Hermione's time management skills are impressive  Harry is subconsciously planning lessons - he was meant to be a teacher  Hermione is still in contact with Viktor Krum and Ron is losing his mind  Is Ron aware yet of why he is jealous of Krum and his feelings for Hermione? Sirius is giving Harry the cold shoulder - grow up Sirius  We love the trio experiencing their first dodgy pub together - a milestone moment  Interesting that Alberforth Dumbledore runs a dodgy pub while Dumbledore runs a school Lots of people of different years and houses join in to hear from Harry which is great for him to see  Dean Thomas comes despite Seamus' opinions on Harry and Dumbledore which is nice to see  Hermione is Harry's PR rep and is doing her best Thank goodness for Susan Bones bringing up how powerful Harry is and really saving the day  Fred and George are great moderators and really help keep the vibes positive and slyly manage the crowd  It's great that Fred, George, Angelina and others are comfortable with Harry teaching them, despite them being older  Why was Terry Boot in Dumbledore's office? Zacharias Smith is more annoying than we remembered - but each house has an annoying character  Shay wonders if they should have done more to ensure the secrecy of the meeting and group  Mundungus being the woman in the black veil is amazing  It's interesting seeing Luna argue with Hermione, as generally everyone seems to go along with what Hermione says due to seeing her as very intelligent and smart and Hermione is not used to others challenging her like Luna It's good for Hermione's development and growth  Morally Grey Hermione does not tell anyone she has cursed the parchment she has them sign as a fallback security measure and we love this side of her  Hermione drops that Ginny has a boyfriend - good for her  We love seeing evidence that Ginny and Hermione have their own separate friendship and share things they don't with Harry and Ron  Cho couldn't stop looking at Harry during the meeting, and perhaps romance is in the air for them as well Snape Sucks count for Chapter 16: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 16: 1 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #113 The Problem is Real, the Solution is Trash | OOTP 15, The Hogwarts High Inquisitor

    Potter Revisited Episode #113 The Problem is Real, the Solution is Trash AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 15 "The Hogwarts High Inquisitor" Umbridge is named the Hogwarts High Inquisitor  This really feels like government overreach, and bound to create friction when a colleague is evaluating fellow colleagues  The Daily Prophet interviews Lucius Malfoy for the announcement who is definitely not biased at all  Ron is so ready for McGonagall to destroy Umbridge and so are we  Hermione has the annoying habit of wanting to know everyone's marks, and Shay thinks she was Hermione in school  Umbridge is evaluating Trelawney in Divination and it does not go well  +1 Sucks point for Umbridge asking Trelawney to predict something for her on the spot Interesting how Umbridge follows around Trelawney and takes control over the evaluation, yet she is more subdued in McGonagall and Flitwick's evaluations  Hermione is kind of a badass when it comes to teachers she does not respect, like Umbridge  Hermione has read the entire DADA textbook and tells Umbridge she does not agree with the overall thesis and Umbridge hates critical thinking  +1 sucks point for Umbridge wasting the students time by reading the textbook in class and not being able to discuss the content  Umbridge crashes out over the previous DADA teachers and Harry agrees that Quirrell was great except for the fact he had Voldemort on the back of his head  Harry gets detention again but Quirrell having Voldemort on the back of his head is a fact, and surely was Ministry approved at the time Angelina and McGonagall tell Harry off for getting detention again Umbridge gets some karma as she was not prepared for Minerva McGonagall during her evaluation  Umbridge tries so hard to get Grubbly-Plank to slag off Dumbledore but she is chill  Hermione brings up the idea of Harry teaching them DADA as Umbridge is not going to work out  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 15: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 15: 2 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #112 Parentified Children and Emotionally Stunted Adults | OOTP 14, Percy and Padfoot

    Potter Revisited Episode #112 Parentified Children and Emotionally Stunted Adults AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 14 "Percy and Padfoot" Everyone needs therapy in this series  Harry and Cho finally are able to have a moment  Harry's conversation with Cho is so important for his survivor's guilt  Filch trying to read Harry's mail is shady and we know Umbridge is behind it  Tori and Shay debate who Cho had feelings for first - Harry or Cedric Sirius has been outed as being in London - he really has no regard for his safety and how much Harry worries about it It would of been nice if Fred and George could of been more encouraging to Ron at his first Quidditch practice, knowing how insecure he is  Draco and co have nothing better to do with their time so they crash the Gryffindor practice  Percy's owl shows up in the Gryffindor common room - a bad omen?  Percy's letter to Ron... is not great It's nice that Percy wants to congratuate Ron on being Prefect, but then doubling down on cutting out Harry...  Was Percy persuaded to write this letter, as he urges Ron to confide in Umbridge about Harry Percy glosses over the estrangement with his family in this letter quite a bit  It's got to be so hard for Harry to see this as Percy was someone he was close to for four years prior to this  Shay thinks as a Slytherin, Ron should of pretended to cut Harry off and speak with Umbridge to find out what she was up to  Sirius randomly pops up in the Gryffindor common room fire - despite the Ministry knowing he is in London Sirius gives the trio the lowdown on Umbridge - and how racist she is  Fudge thinks that Dumbledore is training students for combat against the Ministry - is this dumb?  Sirius has no regard for his safety or how much Harry and co worry about him - planning to turn up in Hogsmede?? Sirius saying that Harry isn't like his father feels like such a low blow and immature for Sirius  Does Sirius have an idealized version of James he remembers? We think married, father James in wartime was a lot more responsible that teenage James  Harry really has to parent Sirius which is so annoying.  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 14: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 14: 2 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #111 Needlework | OOTP 13, Detention with Dolores

    Potter Revisited Episode #111 Needlework AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 13 "Detention with Dolores" Poor Harry, he has no safe space at the moment  The propaganda machine is awful  Hermione is right, how could Dumbledore let this happen?  The concept of the Ministry restricting students performing magic that they need to practically demonstrate for their OWLs is so dumb  Fred and George have gone ahead testing their products on students, and Ron is but in a difficult position as prefect  Hermione threatening the twins with their biggest weakness: telling their mother  Hermione leaves out handknit hats for the House Elves, putting trash on top in the hopes to free time - we get her intent but it isn't very ethical to trick them  Could House Elves even be freed this way?  This doesn't mean Ron should make fun of her knitting attempts! It's a process! The professors pushing how important their OWL exams are feels familiar to how High School teachers spoke about how serious University and College would be  Minne G gives the students a very nice pep talk, where they could all get an O in Transfiguration if they work hard and have confidence in themselves - even Neville!  Shay thinks they are exaggerating how much homework they have  Grubbly-Plank is such a great teacher... sorry Hagrid  Shay does not understand how the points system works at Hogwarts  Harry needs to stop annoying Grubbly-Plank about Hagrid  Luna lets Harry know he has her support, and Hermione picks a fight with her  Why does Luna rub Hermione the wrong way?  Angelina is channeling Oliver's intensity about Quidditch, we love that for her  Angelina does not care Harry is being gaslight about Umbridge, she has the team to think about! Harry's detention with Umbridge is... a lot  Psychological and physical torture to a minor in your care? Jail!!!!  Harry does not have parents or an adequate guardian who can advocate for him, which Umbridge knows and takes advantage of If this happened to one of the Weasley kids, Molly would be walking up to the school to commit a crime  Ron has made the Gryffindor Quidditch team! It's such a shame how insecure he is and how it affects his performance  It's actually great that Angelina focused on picking not the best player, but the player she felt would mesh with the current team the best  Harry doesn't tell Ron and Hermione what really happened during his detention, which is a shame  Harry feels that Dumbledore only cares about his scar... which is probably true  When Umbridge touches Harry, his scar hurts and he wants to talk to someone about this but feels like he can't Harry's support system is really being cut off  Shay thinks a lot of this chapter is connected to needlework  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 13: 0 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 13: 1 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #110 Have a Biscuit | OOTP 12, Professor Umbridge

    Potter Revisited Episode #110 Have a Biscuit AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 12 "Professor Umbridge" Harry is not coping well with his peers thinking he is a liar, and is taking it out on Ron and Hermione  The Twins are advertising for product testers which seems like a bit of a red flag Angelina Johnson is the new Griffindor Quidditch Captain - we love women in power It is smart for the twins to conduct some kind of market research and not just focus on what they like  Being dormmates with the twins seems dangerous  The Twins debated leaving school before their last year - is this something they could actually do?  Ron and Harry think being an Aurror would be cool but Hermione is considering what she could do with SPEW after Hogwarts  It is crazy that they need to consider their futures at 15  Cho approaches Harry but Ron ruins their moment by confronting her about her Quidditch Team  Harry tries his best to make his potion but Snape won't even let him turn it in despite it not even being the worst in the class - +1 Snape Sucks point Potions seems very similar to baking - everything needs to be very exact  Shay wonders if Snape is being harder on Harry now to prepare him for what is to come. Tori thinks he's just a dick  Dream analysis would be cool to learn, Harry and Ron are haters  The trio attend the first DADA lesson with Umbridge, and she treats the class like they are a lot younger and comes off very condescending What are Umbridge's qualifications for teaching anyway? The other professors seem to have some real life experience or expertise in their fields   Umbridge reveals the new course aims, and they kids are not going to be learning defensive magic, only the theory  Having students use class time to read a textbook is such a waste of time  When the students complain about not being taught magic (valid), Umbridge decides it is a good idea to slander their previous teachers, and calls Lupin a "half-breed" - so disgusting to to, especially in front of the students. +1 sucks point We love Dean standing up for Lupin, and the fact that Imposter Moody was actually a good teacher despite being a criminal  Pavarti brings up not learning spells during an important exam year - not everyone learns through theory and if this was a normal school year we could see parents being upset  Harry calls out Umbridge for not learning defensive magic when Voldemort is back  Umbridge gaslights Harry so hard we have whiplash  Umbrige telling student to come talk to her if people are speaking about Voldemort and that she is their friend is such a red flag. Adults - especially teachers - should not be friends with students. +1 Sucks point  Its so hard for Harry to hear how the Ministry stance disrespects Cedric - saying his death is an accident rather than the fact he was murdered in cold blood  Harry gets sent to McGonagall and she has one of the best lines in the series "have a biscuit, Potter" we stan  Its so interesting seeing this from Minnie G as she is one of the more proper and strict teachers in the series  Its really good that Minerva gives Harry this lesson of having to look at the bigger picture - what is happening to him is not right in any regard but he needs to consider the endgame rather than yelling that he is right to everyone who disagrees with him  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 12: 1 Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 12: 2 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #109 Make Hogwarts Great Again | OOTP 11, The Sorting Hat's New Song

    Potter Revisited Episode #109 Make Hogwarts Great Again AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 11 "The Sorting Hat's New Song" It is such an odd time to be rereading OOTP with its themes of government overreach  Harry sees the Thestrals pulling the carriages when Ron doesn't and is starting to think he is losing it since Luna can see them too  Harry is bottling up a lot of feelings, thoughts and emotions which isn't healthy  Luna says Hagrid is a bad teacher and tbh, she isn't wrong. Ginny, Ron and Harry have a biased view This is one of the only times where Harry is starting the year with people talking about him negatively  Harry notes that the new person at the staff table is the witch from his Ministry Hearing - while Hermione instantly infers that Umbridge is the new DADA teacher The Sorting Hat has a new song that is very different from his usual - explaining the different houses and their preferred traits This song goes into some Founders lore including rifts in friendships, ego clouding judgement and if sorting is actually a good thing and issues a warning that Hogwarts is in danger  Shay has some issues with how the hat generalizes the houses, such as Slytherin's and Hufflepuff's  Dumbledore is scandalously interrupted by Umbridge who gives a weird speech   Umbridge gives off the vibe that she has never spoken to a real child before and comes off very condescending Children should not be friends with teachers / adults, Umbridge!!! Ron and Hermione quickly realize they have Prefect Duties at the end of the feast to attend to Is Ron acting odd about his badge because he feels he doesn't deserve it, or that he doesn't want to rub it in Harry's face that he got it  Or is it more about not wanting to be like Percy, who abandoned the family? Neville is so excited that he knows the password and will be able to remember it Harry is surprised and angry that Seamus' mom doesn't believe him and Dumbledore, and how Seamus is fishing for information on how Cedric died  Dean brings up that is parents don't know what has happened because he hasn't told them - does Hogwarts not inform parents, especially muggle parents? Death of a student would be a big thing to keep hidden We love Ron standing up for Harry. He would throw down if needed  Neville's quiet support of Harry is so nice Harry has people on his side, but is is struggling with having people he has known for years turn against him which is hard  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 11: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #108 Very Right and Very Wrong | OOTP 10, Luna Lovegood

    Potter Revisited Episode #108 Very Right and Very Wrong AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 10 "Luna Lovegood" Harry has some odd dreams after the party from the end of last chapter  It is smart of Moody to make sure Harry has a guard for his return to Hogwarts  Shay finds it odd Harry doesn't have a guard for the train We love the chaos of the days preparing to leave for Hogwarts  Fred and George knock Ginny down the stairs in the chaos  Sirius decides to come to Kings Cross as a dog, and Mrs Weasley doesn't care anymore  Lupin says goodbye by giving Harry and co a handshake - is this a british thing?  Ron and Hermione have to go to to the Prefects carriage and Harry is sad about traveling without Ron  Thank god for Ginny taking pity on Harry as she likely has her own friends she could be sitting with Harry thinking lowly of Neville makes Shay mad  We are finally introduced to Luna Lovegood as we love her  Luna is much more eccentric in the books but she is very aware of how she is perceived but will not edit herself to appease people which is nice to see  Neville got a rare plant as a gift from his great uncle, and it is so nice to see Neville's interests appreciated by someone in his family  Shay thinks that Luna and Neville make a good couple  Neville's attempt to show off his plants powers goes poorly when Cho Chang seems Harry and co covered in stinky plant sap  Hermione reveals that Malfoy and Pansy are Slytherin prefects and seems very put out by Pansy being selected rather than Malfoy Shay is very upset about Malfoy being made prefect and for the first time ever - is giving Snape +1 sucks point for it!!!  Harry borrows The Quibbler from Luna and finds an interesting article about Sirius - as adults we can appreciate how funny this is a lot more The Quibbler seems like a satire magazine except that they belief these opinions are true To be fair to the Quibbler, they do proper interviews and back up their opinions with some evidence unlike Rita Skeeter Hermione accidentally insults Luna - They are both such contrasting characters, like foils of each other which make their interactions so fun and interesting. They really are the Sully and Mulder of Hogwarts. Hermione uses logic and evidence to back her opinions, where Luna has faith and belief  Malfoy comes right on schedule to bully Harry as usual - but Harry can't really be bothered by Malfoy's typical schoolyard insults after what he has been through in GoF Harry is very worried when he sees Hagrid is not guiding the first years to Hogwarts  Harry comes face to face with a Thestral - which is he now able to see pulling the carriages for the first time  Harry being able to see them now is likely that he witnessed and processed that Cedric died in front of him, and he wasn't able to do that as an infant for his parents or could it be that he was wearing glasses when he saw Cedric die and wasn't when he was a baby? Malfoy implies he knows about Sirius' dog disguise - Harry is now very concerned about the risk Sirius took  Why do they have the Thestrals pulling the carriages at Hogwarts? Could it be to spot students that may need more support?  We love how Luna seems to be presented as nerodivergent and what it meant to us growing up  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 10: 1 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited

    #107 Ron Weasley, The Chosen One | OOTP 9, The Woes of Mrs Weasley

    Potter Revisited Episode #107 Ron Weasley, The Chosen One AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 9 "The Woes of Mrs Weasley" Tori feels the need to stick up for Ron in this chapter  Harry is cleared of all charges, and Dumbledore dips without even telling Arthur what happened Percy and Arthur ignore each other  Harry and Arthur spot Lucius speaking with Cornelius and Lucius is very comfortable with his position as his goads Harry  Patronus Potter is actually a great nickname We can't wait for Lucius to be in jail by the end of OOTP - what he deserves  The "He got off" chant is so fun Everyone is happy Harry got off, except for Sirius  It is a bit immature for Sirius to be visibly upset Harry won't be an outcast with him, but we can understand why he is feeling down being suck in Grimmauld Place  The kids are back to cleaning up Grimmauld Place, and Hermione thinks a clean of Gryffindor Tower would be a great idea for SPEW We love how dedicated Hermione is to SPEW despite how Ron and Harry treat it  Why was the booklist sent out the LAST day of the holidays? Ron and Hermione are made Gryffindor prefects and Harry isn't sure how to feel Poor Ron, everyone says how they expected Harry to get the badge Mrs Weasley is there to praise Ron, which is probably good for her to have some good news to focus on  Ron has matured from GOF and doesn't take out any hard feelings about how everyone treats him getting the badge out on Harry  Its good for Harry (and Ron) for Harry not to get something that Ron does  Harry is fine with not being prefect after finding out his dad wasn't one  Moody shows Harry an old Order photo which he thinks is cool but really brings the party mood down Moody thinks Alberforth Dumbledore is a strange guy, which says something  Harry stumbles across Molly trying to get rid of the Boggart which shows members of the Weasleys dead  Shay thought Ron might of really been dead for a moment when reading as a kid  This is some dark foreshadowing to a Weasley Death The Twins are shown dead together, showing Molly couldn't imagine them being separated by death - we are not ready to lose Fred Shay has issue with how Lupin says he would look after Ron and Ginny if Molly and Arthur died Shay is back to not being a Dumbledore fan  Tori takes issue with Dumbledore saying later that he felt Harry had too much going on to be prefect - Ron deserves better than being a sub-in Tori explains why she feels Ron is the best choice for Gryffindor prefect, and Shay discusses if Neville could of been an option  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 9: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited
