MuggleCast: The Harry Potter Re-Read Podcast

Lawn Enthusiast Dumbledore (OOTP Chapter 3, The Advance Guard)

Listen Later

On this week's episode, Harry is rude to his owl. Then someone breaks into his home. It's very exciting to be leaving Privet Drive! Join us for a chapter of highs and lows as Chapter-by-Chapter covers Chapter 3 of "Order of the Phoenix," and the hosts as well as Slug Club member Katie discuss the recent passing of Maggie Smith, take answers from our Lynx Line, and generally have a nice time as usual.

  • Welcome to our Slug Club guest Katie!
  • The hosts reflect on the amazing life of Dame Maggie Smith, who has passed away.
  • Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 3: The Advance Guard. And our Time Turner segment has us spinning some old recordings from past discussions! Check out Episode 435 and Episode 229!
  • Harry interrupts Hedwig’s dinner. Is this one step too far on making his friends’ lives miserable?
  • Andrew loves Harry’s plan to ensure his friends give him answers, but it may remind us all of Professor Umbridge.
  • Does the delay between the last chapter and the night the Advance Guard arrives exist because Dumbledore needed time to implement the escape route?
  • Is the real Moody overcompensating on security?
  • The Dursleys are back to their old tricks, of abusing Harry… and Harry is back to his old tricks of appearing indifferent to them.
  • The hosts rank this rescue effort against all the other times Harry was saved from Privet Drive.
  • Should Harry have been more aggressive about intruders in his home?
  • Doesn’t everybody at this point know Harry’s Patronus? How secure is Lupin’s question exactly?
  • If this is the Advance Guard, who is in the Rear Guard?
  • Lynx Line: What five Potter characters would our patrons have in their Advance Guard?
  • Where’s Dumbledore?, the segment, returns!
  • Our Most Trustworthy Advance Guard Member of the Week: the hosts explain.
  • Quizzitch: “What well-kept lawn in London has been home to a zebra, an elephant, and a helicopter landing pad?”
