5.21 The Eye of the Snake

5.21 The Eye of the Snake

Umbridge stoops to new lows in order to take down our biggest friend–but we know what she’s doing, that foul, lying, twisting old gargoyle! Thanks to an extra special meeting of the Defense Association, Cho has A VERY HARRY CHRISTMAS!  Unfortunately, Harry doesn’t have too long to bask in the glow of his first kiss, as… Read more

5.20 Hagrid’s Tale

5.20 Hagrid’s Tale

Hagrid is back, and he recounts his tale (or is it his tail?) of his time with the giants for the three nosiest kids at Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, and Hermione learn conflicting information about Gurgs, gain new respect for Olympe (she’s not afraid of roughin’ it), and continue to question exactly how Hagrid got his disturbing… Read more

5.19 The Lion and the Serpent

5.19 The Lion and the Serpent

Memories of two jam-packed weeks of D.A. meetings are enough to buoy Harry’s spirits, but only for so long. Malfoy tries his hand at song lyrics, Harry and George give an exhibition of Muggle dueling, and Educational Decree Number Twenty-five has devastating consequences for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. But we can think of one thing that might cheer… Read more

5.18 Dumbledore’s Army

5.18 Dumbledore’s Army

Harry gets irrationally defensive of Sirius, Angelina still can’t stop talking about Quidditch, and Fred and George suffer from some massive pus-filled boils (which might have ruptured). The D.A. (also known as the Ministry of Magic Are Morons Group) holds its first official meeting, which means that Harry finally gets to practice his already excellent teaching skills in… Read more

5.17 Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four

5.17 Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four

Alice and Martha find themselves wholeheartedly agreeing with Lav-Lav about Hedwig, Harry, Ron, and Neville get in trouble for “fighting,” and Angelina can’t stop obsessing about Quidditch. Meanwhile, Snuffles is back on speaking terms with Harry, and Umbridge is getting her stubby hands in the middle of everything (literally and figuratively). We hope this episode will be… Read more

5.16 In the Hog’s Head

5.16 In the Hog’s Head

Hermione gathers approximately 25 of her best friends for an informational meeting at the Hog’s Head, even though the Three Broomsticks probably would have been a safer bet (she’s got a LOT to learn). Fred and George order everyone butterbeers, and then weasel out of paying for them. And Harry finally has the opportunity to execute some of the… Read more

5.15 The Hogwarts High Inquisitor

5.15 The Hogwarts High Inquisitor

Strong females dominate this chapter, as Queens McGonagall and Grubbly-Plank take on the newly appointed Hogwarts High Inquisitor and Hermione comes up with the idea of forming the D.A.! Harry, on the other hand, struggles to keep his temper under control and receives a D on his potions homework (information he would rather keep private)…. Read more

5.14 Percy and Padfoot

5.14 Percy and Padfoot

Harry the Sneaky Codemaster is back, which means that unfortunately, “Snuffles” is too. Quidditch practice is completely lousy, but it definitely isn’t Ron’s fault! And finally, Percy reveals himself as the world’s biggest git.  Please consider supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/realweirdsisters. Spoiler warning!

5.13 Detention with Dolores

5.13 Detention with Dolores

Hermione knits hats for House Elves (she’s getting better, she can do patterns and bobbles and all sorts of things now!), Ron has the sickest burn of the book so far, and Harry spends four miserable detentions with the evil, twisted, mad, old toad. Listen to this episode for as long as it takes for the message to sink… Read more

5.12 Professor Umbridge

5.12 Professor Umbridge

Ooh, Crackpot’s feeling cranky! This chapter is a bigger downer than double potions with the Slytherins (and if that means we’re supposed to get to get matey with them, fat chance). Harry just can’t handle Ron and Hermione bickering anymore, he’s mortified when he puts his foot in his mouth with Cho, and he’s livid when Snape vanishes… Read more
