    • On this week's episode, grab your tissues because we're discussing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 21: The Eye of the Snake. And speaking of Hagrid-centric chapters, it looks like the Harry Potter TV Show has found its Rubeus! 


    • Harry Potter TV Show News: Nick Frost is reportedly up for the role of Hagrid! We discuss if he can pull off this pivotal role and what we know him from.
    • Chapter by Chapter resumes with Order of the Phoenix Chapter 21, The Eye of the Snake (gulp).
    • Despite Hermione's best efforts, Hagrid decides to teach a class on Thestrals. We break down the pro's and con's of this decision.
    • If most of the class can't see a creature, does that make it a bad lesson? Not necessarily! But Hagrid could've designed this class better.
    • What did Hagrid's 'shrieking cry' sound like?
    • Shouldn't there be some magic that allows those who haven't seen death to be able to see Thestrals? At least for research purposes it would make sense!
    • Speaking of seeing death, is it strange that Umbridge herself can't see Thestrals? 
    • Should Dumbledore have warned Hagrid about what Umbridge has been up to at the school? Or DID they talk once Hagrid returned?
    • The second half of this chapter has a big Life Moment for Harry: His first kiss!
    • Was it Cho or Harry who made the first move? And how should Harry have reacted when she was crying?
    • We recount our First Kiss stories, and this week's Lynx Line asks Patrons if they had a bad first kiss themselves!
    • Quizzitch: Capable of reaching a length of roughly 19 feet and weighing around 28 lbs, what is the largest known venomous snake species in the world?
