Potter Revisited Episode #102 House Hunters International AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 4 "Number 12, Grimmauld Place"

• Please forgive Tori's voice as she is getting over the flu
• We are back to discussing OOTP in 2026!
• We finally get our introduction to Grimmauld Place
• The way access to Grimmauld place is revealed to Harry seems similar to the magic of the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts
• Grimmauld Place definitely gives of some particular vibes which Shay discusses as if we are in an episode of House Hunters International
• Shay loves hallways and closed living
• Mrs Weasley seems stressed
• CAPS LOCK Harry makes an appearance
• Is Harry really angry at Ron and Hermione, or just taking out his anger on them?
• Ron and Hermione are good friends to allow Harry to take his anger out on them and not hold it against him
• The Twins can apparate now and have great instincts on defusing the tension Harry brings
• Ginny also appears and interacts quite normally with Harry for the first time
• We are looking forward to Ginny's transition from younger sister to an actual character
• Bill is a highly respected older sibling
• Fred spills the tea about Bill and Fleur
• Both Bill and Charlie have joined the order to help find and recruit members, but what about Percy?
• Percy had a catastrophic falling out with Mr Weasley and his family - has this been building for a while?
• We understand Percy was wrong about Dumbledore and Harry, however we sympathize with him on his family not respecting or valuing his interests/ambitions
• Does Percy's high ambition stem from his father not having more (according to Percy) and him viewing that as a character flaw?
• Does Percy have some jealousy on how Harry fits into his family compared to himself?
• Harry is being slandered in the press again
• Would Sirius actually allow Snape to stay for dinner?
• We are introduced to Sirius' mother in the form of a screaming lifesize portrait that cannot be removed. Terrible person, but we respect the level of pettiness.
• We are looking forward to the next few chapters set in Grimmauld place!
• Snape Sucks count for Chapter 3: 0

Potter Revisited Episode #101 Dumbledore, You Egotistical Nut AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 3 "The Advanced Guard"

• This chapter is a lot more exposition and transitional than the previous two chapters that had lots of action and foreshadowing
• Shay does not approve of how rude Harry is to Hedwig
• Hedwig is the true MVP though
• Harry is really going through the symptoms of bad mental health right now
• Moody as Lupin ask Harry a question he would only know - we decide to ask each other the same
• The advanced guard has come to spring Harry free with some familiar faces - Lupin and Moody - and some new faces
• It interesting the way this real Mad Eye Moody is reintroduced to Harry and the readers - they don't really focus on it too much
• Lupin is back and we are so excited
• We are introduced to Nymphadora Tonks who we are also very excited about
• Tonk's rouse to lure the Dursley's away from the house was genius. We discuss other ways it could have been done
• Quite a large group came to pick Harry up - was that wise?
• It was smart to include Lupin in the guard as Harry actually knows and trusts Lupin, but was everyone else necessary? Although at this point, Harry probably would have left with anyone
• It is great having a mid-twenties character like Tonks in the mix, as most characters in the series so far are adults or children
• Tonks reveals to Harry she is a Metamorphmagus and can change her appearance at will - we wish more lore was included about this
• We love how nosy the team is, looking through Petunia's kitchen
• It is decided that the best course of transportation is flying to headquarters - does this really seem like the most logical route?
• Shay and Tori debate if using a broom should count as Harry using magic
• It doesn't seem too much thought went into this and it is just a plot device to get Harry to Number 12 Grimmauld Place
• They just land in the middle of a muggle courtyard in London and no one notices?
• Moody has Dumbledore's Deluminator - is this foreshadowing to this being important in DH?
• Dumbledore - as secret keeper - wrote down the location of headquarters - isn't that risky? All so he didn't need to see / be near Harry?
• Shay calls out Dumbledore for his ego
• The Dumbledore slander is only at the beginning
• Snape Sucks count for Chapter 3: 0
