Potter Revisited Episode #111 Needlework AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 13 "Detention with Dolores"

  • Poor Harry, he has no safe space at the moment 
  • The propaganda machine is awful 
  • Hermione is right, how could Dumbledore let this happen? 
  • The concept of the Ministry restricting students performing magic that they need to practically demonstrate for their OWLs is so dumb 
  • Fred and George have gone ahead testing their products on students, and Ron is but in a difficult position as prefect 
  • Hermione threatening the twins with their biggest weakness: telling their mother 
  • Hermione leaves out handknit hats for the House Elves, putting trash on top in the hopes to free time - we get her intent but it isn't very ethical to trick them 
  • Could House Elves even be freed this way? 
  • This doesn't mean Ron should make fun of her knitting attempts! It's a process!
  • The professors pushing how important their OWL exams are feels familiar to how High School teachers spoke about how serious University and College would be 
  • Minne G gives the students a very nice pep talk, where they could all get an O in Transfiguration if they work hard and have confidence in themselves - even Neville! 
  • Shay thinks they are exaggerating how much homework they have 
  • Grubbly-Plank is such a great teacher... sorry Hagrid 
  • Shay does not understand how the points system works at Hogwarts 
  • Harry needs to stop annoying Grubbly-Plank about Hagrid 
  • Luna lets Harry know he has her support, and Hermione picks a fight with her 
  • Why does Luna rub Hermione the wrong way? 
  • Angelina is channeling Oliver's intensity about Quidditch, we love that for her 
  • Angelina does not care Harry is being gaslight about Umbridge, she has the team to think about!
  • Harry's detention with Umbridge is... a lot 
  • Psychological and physical torture to a minor in your care? Jail!!!! 
  • Harry does not have parents or an adequate guardian who can advocate for him, which Umbridge knows and takes advantage of
  • If this happened to one of the Weasley kids, Molly would be walking up to the school to commit a crime 
  • Ron has made the Gryffindor Quidditch team! It's such a shame how insecure he is and how it affects his performance 
  • It's actually great that Angelina focused on picking not the best player, but the player she felt would mesh with the current team the best 
  • Harry doesn't tell Ron and Hermione what really happened during his detention, which is a shame 
  • Harry feels that Dumbledore only cares about his scar... which is probably true 
  • When Umbridge touches Harry, his scar hurts and he wants to talk to someone about this but feels like he can't
  • Harry's support system is really being cut off 
  • Shay thinks a lot of this chapter is connected to needlework 
  • Snape Sucks count for Chapter 13: 0
  • Umbridge Sucks count for Chapter 13: 1
