Finally, Umbridge gets her comeuppance as Hermy executes her “smart plan… really smart plan” and tries to use the centaurs to do her bidding. After a scuffle with Ronan, Bane, Magorian, and a “hard-faced gray centaur,” Harry’s impatience reaches new levels. After much debate, Luna saves the day and comes up with a plan to fly to the Ministry – and they won’t even have to ride on the back of the Kacky Snorgle to do so!

Do you have any control over the ad placements? I don’t mind the first two ads that kick off the episodes, but it’s jarring when a third ad cuts you mid-sentence at the two minute mark.
In the last chapter when Seamus invited Harry to go party with him, I was thinking that should have been Harry’s life if he wasn’t mixed up with Voldemort.
I’ve always enjoyed Centaur talk in your podcasts. The Native American parallel is a really good one.
I was surprised with how short the chapter was!
I have always really loved how Neville goes along with this scheme. He was raised in a wizarding household, where he heard all about how Sirius was a Death Eater, and his parents were tortured into insanity by Bellatrix, Sirius’ cousin. And yet, when Harry is leading them on a mission to save Sirius’ life, Neville does not for a second question this (though the only Sirius Harry could possibly be referring to is Sirius Black). He trusts Harry implicitly. To him, if Harry thinks Sirius is all right, Sirius must be all right.
