6.12 Silver and Opals

6.12 Silver and Opals

It’s time for another Hogsmeade trip, but unfortunately for all of us, it’s just not as exciting as it used to be. Zonko’s is all boarded up, the weather is freezing, and Tonks/Eeyore is lurking on every corner. But, ooh, at least they have extra-large sugar quills! While “nothing” is in the back getting more… Read more

Harry has his first foray into Quidditch captaincy, and frankly, he’s never been more fanciable. During the keeper tryouts, Hermione is a bit dishonest – she is a prefect after all!

6.10 The House of Gaunt

The time is ripe for this chapter discussion, or at least, riper than it was for Humphrey Belcher’s cheese cauldron.

6.8 Snape Victorious

6.8 Snape Victorious

Does the Hogwarts Express have a conductor? Is Episkey or Tergeo more useful? Is Tonks’s new Patronus a wolf, a werewolf, or an Alfonso werewolf? And what is the difference between chocolate gateau and chocolate cake? Alice and Martha are back to answer the most important questions of the book thus far. Plus, Nearly Headless Nick digs for hot gossip… Read more

6.7 The Slug Club

6.7 The Slug Club

The gang makes their way back to Hogwarts, though Harry may have to make a trip back to London first (no spoilers!).

6.6 Draco’s Detour

Alice and Martha find just about everything hilarious in this episode, from Arkie Philpott and the Probity Probe to the reappearance of Tom the Bartender. The trio, accompanied by baby Ginny and her parents, is met by security expert Hagrid, who (surprisingly!) fails to protect them from Draco’s sick burns. Fred and George rub their success… Read more

6.5 An Excess of Phlegm

Harry arrives at the Burrow in the middle of the night, welcomed by Tonks, Mollywobbles, some very hot soup, and plenty of awkward tension. The next day is spent catching up with the Weasleys and Hermione–after all, there isn’t much to do at the Burrow, unless you like cooking and chickens! And finally, the trio receives their… Read more

6.4 Horace Slughorn

6.4 Horace Slughorn

Harry and Dumbledore share a semi-awkward trip to the charming village of Budleigh Babberton, and a critical movie scene is tragically cut from the book.

6.3 Will and Won’t

Dumbledore shows up at Privet Drive to troll the Dursleys and serve alcohol to minors. Harry, who enjoys the oak matured mead immensely, learns that he has inherited Grimmauld Place and, with it, Kreacher (luckily, Harry doesn’t have to keep him with him all the time, though). And before Dumbledore and Harry leave pursue that… Read more
