#449: Torturous Toad (OOTP 13, Detention With Dolores)

Reminder: MuggleCast is moving to Tuesdays! Each week we'll have a new episode available bright and early.

A 'flagship' Harry Potter store has been announced, where we'll be able to grab coffee, Butterbeer, and... 'House Wands'?!

Chapter by Chapter: Order of the Phoenix Chapter 13, Detention with Dolores

This chapter is very unlucky for Harry. Are all Chapter 13's in the Harry Potter series the same way?

Theory: Every chapter ever is unlucky for Harry.

Fred and George are getting away with their testing -- until Hermione steps in. Why this moment was truly 'below the belt' for the twins.

What's going on with Hermione and her crusade to free the elves? We don't see her doing any work that the elves do.

We learn that Bowtruckles can actually be quite evil. How could Newt keep one so close to his eye balls? It's Security Nightmare: Pickett Edition!

Then again, they have leafy hands. How peaceful! What an enigma.

Malfoy drops some information that's of interest to Harry, while Luna sticks up for The Chosen One in a big way.

Detention with Dolores: It's in this scene where Umbridge goes from being an annoying teacher to a truly evil one.

Did Dumbledore or McGonagall know that this type of thing was going on? Should Harry have ratted Umbridge out? And did this ever happen again?

Quizzitch: What does Cho refer to Ron as? Answer on Twitter by tweeting @MuggleCast!
