This week, Draco goes so hard against the Gryffindor Team, and Umbridge awards herself total control over student lives in our latest Chapter by Chapter series. Join Andrew, Eric, Laura and Micah as they discuss the line between bullying and fair play, and analyze whether Umbridge is making enemies of the whole school.

News: The Harry Potter TV show on HBO has cast its Snape and McGonagall, and the HP illustrated editions now have their new illustrator.
Chapter by Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 19: The Lion and the Serpent. MuggleCast last discussed the chapter on Episode 455!
Hermione reveals the dark origins of her idea for the enchanted Galleons. Why wasn’t she sorted into Ravenclaw, we also wonder?
Andrew says coins are easy to lose, and the other hosts weigh in.
Where is the line between sportsmanship and bullying? We feel for Ron, but wonder if any of the Slytherins’ behavior is okay.
What makes Draco SO extra? Is he compensating for being an unskilled Quidditch player?
Did Umbridge put Draco up to the taunting, in order to get Harry & co. expelled??
is McGonagall’s punishment more fitting than Umbridge’s? And hey! It looks like Dumbledore has been doing something after all!
in banning Harry from Quidditch, does she give Harry more free time to plot against her?
Lynx Line: If you had to chant something at Malfoy to distract him while playing Quidditch, what would it be?
Quizzitch: What ice hockey player had a rule named after him after he displayed unsportsmanlike tactics in an attempt to intimidate goalie Martin Brodeur, by waving his hands and hockey stick in his face?
