The Buddies plunged into the fifth installment of their magical marathon with "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" by J.K. Rowling. The Buddies discussed many important topics including: becoming radicalized over owl injuries, the Weasley twins' mastery of guerrilla marketing, and whether Dumbledore's penchant for secrecy deserves a Howler. The Buddies also pondered life's important questions, like whether listening to audiobooks is an acceptable alternative to watching your child being born (spoiler: it's not). So your practice your "hem-hems", tell no lies,  and join us for this week's episode.
