On this week’s episode, we discuss the events of Chapter 32 of Order of the Phoenix, "Out of the Fire." Join Andrew, Eric, Micah, and Pam as they cover the second attempted break-in to Professor Umbridge's office, and the fallout.

• Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 32: Out of the Fire Our Time Turner segment takes us back to Episode 470 of MuggleCast, titled “Silky Smooth Snape.”
• Should Harry have known that his vision was a ruse? The hosts go all-in on listing several signs, and whether they alone reveal the truth.
• Micah connects the threads between Sirius and Harry in books 3 and 5.
• What is Hermione getting at by mentioning Harry's 'saving people thing'?
• Often times, Harry has legitimately been left to fix the Hogwarts problem and save people. Can we blame him?
• We discuss the power lust present in both Umbridge and Draco, and how they need each other at this time.
• Umbridge's treatment of Snape is interesting, since she does trust he's as horrible as she is.
• What Hermione does works perfectly on Umbridge. Why?
• Why aren't the two other heads of House, Flitwick and Sprout, also members of the Order? Is Dumbledore skeptical of their loyalty, or is he just giving them a break??
• The hosts have differing ideas about what being a 'bad mofo' means, when rating who the baddest was in this chapter.
• Our Lynx Line patrons answer the question, when was a time that you successfully thought on your feet the way Hermione does with Umbridge?
• Quizzitch: In this chapter Umbridge placed Stealth Sensor Spells around her office door. Founded by Edward Calahan over 150 years ago, the company which currently holds at least 15% of the market share for home security systems, is called ADT. What does ADT stand for? Join in on the fun!
