    • This week Chapter-by-Chapter returns, and so does our guest! Professor Julian Wamble, who we first had on our show back in 2023 on MuggleCast #619, once more graces us with his presence as we discuss Chapter 28 of Order of the Phoenix, "Snape's Worst Memory." Julian teaches Political Science at George Washington University, and his podcast Critical Magic Theory as well as Instagram and TikTok content are worth checking out!

    • Welcome back to the show, Professor Julian Wamble!
    • News: Tom Felton to reprise his role as Draco Malfoy, in New York's production of Cursed Child!
    • Chapter-by-Chapter returns with Chapter 28 of Order of the Phoenix, "Snape's Worst Memory."
    • Our Time Turner segment takes us back to Episode 465 of MuggleCast, titled "How I Met Your Mother." How are we going to top that title on *this* re-read? (Speaking of reading, here is that episode's transcript.)
    • Umbridge's ascent to headmistress of Hogwarts has some classic authoritarian playbook strategies. The hosts dissect.
    • Is the appointment of the Inquisitorial Squad merely a natural response to the thought that Dumbledore was raising an army? Andrew explains.
    • We look at what Umbridge promised Filch, and consider whether she intends to keep those promises.
    • Harry would've been poisoned, if it weren't for a singularly interesting cat... that reminds us of a scene from Deathly Hallows...
    • Would Snape have actually given truth serum to Umbridge, and why not? The hosts discuss his loyalties.
    • Fred and George have a perfect tonic for Umbridge's control, and it perfectly exploits her vulnerabilities.
    • It's a good thing Harry's Occlumency lesson is interrupted... because he didn't do the homework!
    • What makes Harry enter the pensieve despite how dangerous the threat of being caught is?
    • What Marauders' personality traits did the hosts most enjoy on this readthrough?
    • How will the Harry Potter TV show handle Snape's Worst Memory? Professor Wamble has thoughts.
    • Are there more traits between Harry and his dad, or Harry and his mom, and what are they?
    • The hosts pick a favorite moment of mayhem from this chapter.
    • In our Lynx Line segment for the week, we ask our Patrons to build their own Inquisitorial Squad to serve a purpose at Hogwarts that is currently underserved, and ask what the team would do.
    • Quizzitch: What band had a song at the top of the UK music charts for every week of May, 1976? A] ABBA, B] Billy Joel, C] Aerosmith, D] David Bowie
