Potter Revisited

Potter Revisited Episode #105 Department of Injustice AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 7 "The Ministry of Magic"

• Harry entering the room alone and realizing he is in the room where he saw the death eater trials is spooky 
• Does the Ministry assume Harry traveled to London from Surrey? Surely he should be pardoned for being late do the the quick location and time change - especially since he is a minor who cannot use the quicker transportation methods 
• Harry notices Percy, but Percy ignores him 
• What are Fudge and Umbridge's credentials to be interrogators in a criminal hearing? This feels like the Prime Minister asking you questions about a crime they think you committed as a minor
• Fudge has an agenda for this hearing and how he wants it to go
• Dumbledore makes his dramatic entrance into the hearing 
• Shay loves this version of Dumbledore - alert the press! 
• The way Dumbledore comes in, acts very calm and assertive totally undermines Fudge and his control over the hearing 
• Why is it such a big deal that Harry did magic in front of a Muggle when the Muggle is Dudley, who already knows about magic?
• Madame Bones being so in shock and impressed about Harry being able to produce a patronus is so great, we stan
• Fudge making a joke using Bagman's gambling addiction is in such poor taste and completely inappropriate for the situation
• Dumbledore brings up the Charter of Rights - shouldn't Harry been aware of this before the hearing so he wasn't steamrolled by the Minister of Magic who has a vendetta against him? 
• Mrs Figg is brought in as a witness, and it shows how much care the Ministry has in Squibs as they have no record of her 
• We are introduced to Umbridge and prepare for the awfulness coming our way 
• Umbridge is such an different villain compared to Voldemort in the series 
• Fudge brining up other past incidents of Harry shows he is grasping at straws, and how corrupt he is when he says "laws can be changed"
• Dumbledore dips as soon as Harry is cleared, and Tori doesn't understand Shay's Amanda Show reference 
• Shay discusses Madam Bones and how she would make a great surrogate mom figure for Harry in addition to Molly... and Tori breaks the news that she dies 
• Snape Sucks count for Chapter 7: 0

Potter Revisited Episode #105 Department of Injustice AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 7 "The Ministry of Magic"

• Harry is trying to get ready for his important hearing and the portrait in his room is laughing at him getting dressed
• Couldn't they have found Harry a better outfit for his important hearing or better prepare him?
• We get a small hint to Scrimgeour, who plays a big role in HBP
• Harry's original hearing was just supposed to be him and Amelia Bones - crazy how it escalates
• Harry commutes the muggle way with Arthur to the ministry which brings back some great and not great commuting memories

• Harry internally judging the Ministry's appearance and location when he just sees the scummy street and telephone box is great 
• Shay feels Harry should donate the money first to get good karma for his hearing

• We debate why Eric the Security Guard seems to want to hold Harry back 
• Would you take a slide if it was at your office? 
• Are you able to demand replies from the ministry memos like Harry uses Hedwig to demand responses to his letters?

• Arthur's department office really shows the lack of respect the Ministry has for it and muggle relations in general 
• Shay wonders if Arthur is really qualified for his job despite his passion for it 
• Harry's meeting place and time gets changed at the last minute - Fudge has it out for him. This wouldn't fly IRL
• There is also a small introduction of Bode who comes into play later in OOTP
• Harry is shocked that he is supposed to attend the hearing alone - shouldn't he have some kind of advocate as he is a minor? Maybe McGonagall or Dumbledore as they can represent the school

• We touch on the prejudice, racism, propaganda and other elements going on at the Ministry 
• We discuss some of the most fun sounding departments and jobs at the Ministry are

• Mundugus tries to stash stolen goods at Grimmauld Place - not on Molly's watch

• Sirius shows Harry the family tapestry and how he was disowned at 16

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.

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

• The Ministry is showing to be corrupt, not allowing due process for Harry
