   #119 Emotional Range of a Teaspoon | OOTP 21, The Eye of the Snake

   Potter Revisited Episode #119 Emotional Range of a Teaspoon AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 21 "The Eye of the Snake" Harry and Ron need to get a better handle on their homework Ron uses his Prefect badge to tell off people having fun and throwing snowballs at the Gryffindor Tower window - too bad it's the twins Hermione tries to get Hagrid to change his lesson plans so Umbridge won't throw him out, but Hagrid doesn't seem get how serious it is Should Hagrid have more help planning lessons? Hagrid takes the students in the Forbidden Forest for their lesson and we finally learn what pulls the school carriages - Thestrals Draco seems very scared to go into the forest. After everything he has done lately, Tori wishes something would eat him in there Does it make sense to teach a lesson about a creature that most students cannot see? Hagrid is actually doing a great job at his lesson so far and is very knowledgable about Thestrals It's interesting that there are magical creatures that have superstitious connotations like in the real world Umbridge shows up in the forest for her inspection, too bad the Thestrals won't eat her Umbridge is deliberately speaking to Hagrid rudely and speaking over him, and about him to students during the lesson to obviously make him look incompetent, +1 sucks point When Neville reveals that he can see the Thestrals, Umbridge straight up asks him who he saw die in front of his peers, not considering the trauma this event may of caused +1 sucks point Neville being able to see the Thestrals as well as Harry shows another link between them, could be foreshadowing to the prophecy potentially being about Neville Hermione is super mad at Umbridge and we are on her side It's Christmastime at Hogwarts but Shay is just starting to decorate for Halloween season in the real world Peeves trying to strangle Ron with tinsel brings some whimsy to the season decorating For the first time Harry wants to leave Hogwarts for Christmas Hermione is supposed to be going skiing with her parents for Christmas, and Tori has skiing lessons trauma Arthur Weasley must love having Hermione as a daughter in law in the future, think of all the muggle things she can show him Ron forgest to tell Harry he is coming to the burrow for Christmas, such a classic teenage boy move At the last DA meeting of the term, Harry finds that Dobby has decorated the Room of Requirement with baubles of his face - iconic Dobby is head of the Harry Potter marketing department Ginny has replaced Harry as the Gryffindor Seeker after his ban Neville has improved so much with the DA lessons we love that for him Cho is lingering at the end of the meeting and Harry just wants her to wish him Merry Christmas Cho is upset over Cedric and Harry is doing his best to comfort her... which as a teenage boy isn't great Poor Cho, she is really dealing with a lot of things Harry and Cho have their very first kiss, very true to life and as awkward as you expect Harry returns to Ron and Hermione where they interrogate them over his kiss with Cho Hermione's exasperation of having to explain the feelings of teenage girls to teenage boys is so funny Hermione calls Ron out for having "the emotional range of a teaspoon" but is this really true? Harry is having real anxiety about his feelings about Cho, if she liked the kiss, and what expectations she will have from him going forward and if she'll ask about Cedric again Hermione is writing a long letter to Krum - what do they write to each other about? Ron asks Harry what Hermione sees in Krum and poor guy, it's hard when the other person your crush speaks about is older and a famous athlete Harry has a weird dream where he is obviously processing his feelings about Cho and his worries that she prefers Cedric It's a nice touch with Harry hanging up baubles in the shape of Dobby's head Harry has a dream through the eyes of Voldemort's snake, which foreshadows that Nagin

   #118 Hastily Wrapped Fondue Pot | OOTP 20, Hagrid's Tale

   Potter Revisited Episode #118 Hastily Wrapped Fondue Pot AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 20 "Hagrid's Tale" Tori recalls her childhood babysitter encouraging her to finish this chapter Is this chapter a bit dull compared to the previous? Harry has just gotten in so much trouble and kicked off the Quidditch team but he is willing to risk it all to see Hagrid Shay does not understand how big the Invisibility Cloak is - how does it fit three teenagers? Despite it being against the rules and right after a long trip, Hagrid is happy to see the trio It's been a long book so far without Hagrid The films played it very safe with Hagrid's appearance Shay is not a fan of the green ooze Hagrid is trying so hard to keep his secret operation a secret but the trio will not give up, they are just so nosy It's interesting to think that Hagrid left for this mission at the very end of GoF and is only getting back now part way through the term Fudge had someone tailing Hagrid immediately at the end of GoF - or has he always had someone keeping an eye on Dumbledore's inner circle? Finding Giants isn't hard according to Hagrid What did Hagrid get into a disagreement with a Vampire about? Shay appreciates the trio using their Slytherin traits to coerce Hagrid to talk about his mission with them in exchange for catching him up on what happened to Harry Hagrid's tale about the giants is actually quite grim for a children's book Wizards 100% contributed to the giants current predicament and it is nice the story includes it Shay can grudgingly admit that Dumbledore played this right diplomatically Was the battle helmet giving to the Giant Grug commissioned for a Giant head? How did Dumbledore manage to have this? Hagrid's mission is thrown off by the Grug they were working with being killed off soon into their operation Hagrid was unfortunately not able to recruit any Giants to the cause which is disheartening Love Hagrid's admiration for Madame Maxime Hagrid and the trio are interrupted by Umbridge paying Hagrid a visit Why is Umbridge bothering Hagrid so late at night? Surely her interrogation could wait until a respectable hour +1 sucks point Umbridge speaks to Hagrid so rudely, obviously showing her prejudice +1 sucks point Interesting that Umbridge at least attempted to be fake nice with the other professors but not with Hagrid It doesn't seem right that Umbridge can demand to know why and where Hagrid was on leave Love Hagrid but he is so bad at lying Hagrid loves yapping too much to sense Umbridge's bad vibes Umbridge hates Fang which is a red flag Hermione tries to convince Hagrid to change his lesson plans but he does not seemed worried Shay wishes the story would divulge more about how the wizards oppressed other magical beings and caused a lot of issues that are touched on but never really solved Lots of exposition in this chapter but more exciting chapters are coming!

   #117 George with a Knife | OOTP 19, The Lion and the Serpent

   Potter Revisited Episode #117 George with a Knife AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 19 "The Lion and the Serpent" We hate Umbridge so so much Harry is feeling so good about the work he is doing in the DA Hermione creates a way for Harry to relay DA meeting dates secretly which is really cool It seems wrong that Hogwarts doesn't encourage students to be friends with others outside their house Confirmation that Hermione was almost put in Ravenclaw Would Ravenclaw been a better fit for Hermione, especially at the beginning of the series? Hermione using the Death Eater dark marks for inspiration shows how lucky we are that she is on the good side Minerva's dedication to ensuring the Gryffindor Quidditch team wins is admirable Snape is not putting a stop to the Slytherin's cursing members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, +1 Sucks Point Harry is used to the ridicule and attacks from the Slytherin's before a Quidditch match but poor Ron is not handling it well Ron needs to remember he has punched Malfoy before and he can do it again Luna's Gryffindor Hat is so cool! Luna is obviously very creative and very talented with magic Tori recalls her fangirl moment when Hermione kisses Ron for good luck Malfoy has made badges for the Slytherin's to wear - very foreboding Who is making all these badges for Draco? Tori hates the badges, Malfoy and the fact he is a nepo baby Crabbe and Goyle have made the Slytherin team as beaters, goon Quidditch at its finest We have missed Lee Jordan's commentary Tori struggles reading the Quidditch game, and feels so bad for Ron Draco appears to have written and taught all the Slytherin's a terrible song about Ron to sing during the game What song makes you want to die of embarrassment more, Ginny's singing Valentine to Harry or the Weasley is our King song? Imagine if Draco applied himself to other tasks instead of harassing Harry and Ron Ron is not able to play well understandably, but Harry catches the snitch and is able to win the game for Gryffindor Draco cannot let this go and continues to say disgusting things about the Weasley's to Harry and the team George and Harry basically jump Malfoy, and it is deserved Shay thinks they should of waited to jump Malfoy when their were no witnesses Draco has gotten away with far too much, what he is saying is vile Tori goes back to all the times Malfoy was hit in the series and a new counter has been made! Talk Shit Get Hit will count all the times Draco gets hit (which he deserves) Is Hogwarts (and Dumbledore) partly responsible for why Draco is the way he is? Is Draco more emboldened in OOTP due to Lucius being in both Fudge's inner circle and Voldemort's? Was Draco surprised to be attacked? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes? George with a Knife is the new Harry with a Gun Would you trust the Weasley twins with a spoon? McGonagall is not happy with Harry and George and plans to punish them but Umbridge arrives to make this worse Umbridge is SO petty Umbridge confirms that she tried to stop the Gryffindor team from reforming because she has a vendetta against a fifteen year old Umbridge gives Harry, Fred and George a lifetime ban from Quidditch unjustly, and Fred wasn't even involved in the fight Tori hates Umbridge, and gives her +3 sucks points for being petty, being bias, being power-hungry and for being a huge bitch How does a lifelong ban even work? It seems wrong for Umbridge to confiscate Harry and the Twins brooms since they are their property that they paid for Harry needs a lawyer Umbridge gets another sucks point for the unfair Quidditch ban +1 Ron hasn't been seen since the game and comes back so sad and wanting to resign Harry has also had a terrible day and refuses to let Ron resign What would Oliver Wood have to say about Harry's lifelong Quidditch Ban? Hermione tries to cheer the boys up by letting them know that Hagrid is back Hagrid save us all!! Tori probably sweared more than Sha
