(Spoiler alert) Dumbledore is dead, and Fawkes the phoenix (pronounced FEE-nix) is lamenting. Harry works through his emotions as visitor after visitor enters the hospital wing — even though he’s not hurt. Sparks fly between two unexpected lovebirds, but don’t worry about the fact that it’s in response to Dumbledore’s death, because Dumbledore would have been happier than anyone to think there was a little more love in the world (said curtly). Finally, Harry impresses Professors Sprout and Flitwick with an impassioned speech, but McGonagall remains none too pleased with “Potter.”

I’m so glad that I have the time to binge listen to the end of HBP at work. Sometimes I only listen to one or two chapters a week. It must have been so hard to stop reading when you got to these final chapters!
Remember those days when everyone was obsessed with which house got the most points?
Maybe Draco got Rosmerta to buy the powder!
Fleur’s line about being good looking for both her and Bill is one of my favourite lines in the series.
I’m so glad that Fernwithy wrote Shifts and Shades because Remus and Tonks’ relationship makes so much sense.
Real Weird catfight! Sometimes I wonder if you kind of regret the chapter ranking but it’s been such a staple to your podcast.
