On this week's episode, put on your ballet shoes and meet us on the Seventh Floor of Hogwarts, because we're holding secret meetings, breaking rules and firing defensive spells at each other. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Pam for the first official meeting of Dumbledore's Army!

  • Chapter-by-Chapter continues with  Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 18: Dumbledore's Army. Our Time Turner segment takes us back to Episode 454 for our prior Chapter 18 analysis!
  • Should Umbridge be thrown in jail for opening Harry's mail?
  • Connecting the Threads between Vernon Dursley, Dobby and Umbridge! 🤯
  • Why does Hermione have buyer's remorse about Dumbledore's Army?
  • Horcrux Alert: Harry ponders the weird connection between himself and Voldemort that Dumbledore has (still) failed to explain!
  • Did House-Elves use their magic to help build the Room of Requirement?
  • The Tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy: is it more than just trolls trying to do ballet?
  • How do we rate Harry on his first lesson as the new Defense Against The Dark Arts professor?
  • Lynx Line: What do the House-Elves use the Room of Requirement for?
  • Quizzitch: The abbreviation D.A. may most commonly refer to this position as chief prosecutor in a United States criminal case. What is the position, with those initials, that has a history stretching back to 1813?
