Let us now praise famous wizards. This week, Neville opts for a practical education; Snape redecorates and then chews the scenery; Slughorn actually teaches; Harry gets back into collecting rare and used books; The Gaunts have, er, economic anxiety; and we have THOUGHTS about love potions. Which, you knew we would. Also, what sound do raccoons make? Seriously.

This week’s chapters: The Half-Blood Prince & The House of Gaunt

Next week’s chapters: Hermione’s Helping Hand & Silver and Opals
