On this week's episode, we're taking deep breaths and going through Percy's letter to Ron, as Chapter-by-Chapter tackles Chapter 14 of Order of the Phoenix.

• Chapter-by-Chapter continues with  Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 14: Percy and Padfoot. Our Time Turner segment has us spinning an old recording from past discussions! Be sure to check out Episode 450 for our prior Chapter 14 analysis!
• Despite lots of folks being divided, we focus on examples of residents at Hogwarts helping fellow students out! Including: Nearly-Headless Nick saving Harry's life (probably).
• What is the meaning behind Filch's baseless claims against Harry?
• Ron Weasley, a smart character, has an idea that even Hermione agrees with!
• When Percy's letter arrives, Harry and Ron are shocked. We go through what the worst parts are about what he wrote to his brother and why.
• Andrew asks: Have we ever been asked by a family member to 'sever ties' with another? And what were the consequences?
• The chapter ends with Sirius's conversation, and a few Odds and Ends.
• MVP: What should Ron have said (or written) back to Percy?
• Lynx Line: Our patrons have drafted their coded messages to Sirius, describing the plot of their favorite movie in a way that Umbridge would not understand.
• Quizzitch: First discovered in the year 1610, the four largest moons of the planet Jupiter are called Io, Europa, Ganymede, and… __what?
