July 01, 2026#112 Parentified Children and Emotionally Stunted Adults | OOTP 14, Percy and Padfoot
Potter Revisited Episode #112 Parentified Children and Emotionally Stunted Adults AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 14 "Percy and Padfoot"
Everyone needs therapy in this series
Harry and Cho finally are able to have a moment
Harry's conversation with Cho is so important for his survivor's guilt
Filch trying to read Harry's mail is shady and we know Umbridge is behind it
Tori and Shay debate who Cho had feelings for first - Harry or Cedric
Sirius has been outed as being in London - he really has no regard for his safety and how much Harry worries about it
It would of been nice if Fred and George could of been more encouraging to Ron at his first Quidditch practice, knowing how insecure he is
Draco and co have nothing better to do with their time so they crash the Gryffindor practice
Percy's owl shows up in the Gryffindor common room - a bad omen?
Percy's letter to Ron... is not great
It's nice that Percy wants to congratuate Ron on being Prefect, but then doubling down on cutting out Harry...
Was Percy persuaded to write this letter, as he urges Ron to confide in Umbridge about Harry
Percy glosses over the estrangement with his family in this letter quite a bit
It's got to be so hard for Harry to see this as Percy was someone he was close to for four years prior to this
Shay thinks as a Slytherin, Ron should of pretended to cut Harry off and speak with Umbridge to find out what she was up to
Sirius randomly pops up in the Gryffindor common room fire - despite the Ministry knowing he is in London
Sirius gives the trio the lowdown on Umbridge - and how racist she is
Fudge thinks that Dumbledore is training students for combat against the Ministry - is this dumb?
Sirius has no regard for his safety or how much Harry and co worry about him - planning to turn up in Hogsmede??
Sirius saying that Harry isn't like his father feels like such a low blow and immature for Sirius
Does Sirius have an idealized version of James he remembers? We think married, father James in wartime was a lot more responsible that teenage James
Harry really has to parent Sirius which is so annoying.

June 17, 2026#111 Needlework | OOTP 13, Detention with Dolores
Potter Revisited Episode #111 Needlework AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 13 "Detention with Dolores"
Poor Harry, he has no safe space at the moment
The propaganda machine is awful
Hermione is right, how could Dumbledore let this happen?
The concept of the Ministry restricting students performing magic that they need to practically demonstrate for their OWLs is so dumb
Fred and George have gone ahead testing their products on students, and Ron is but in a difficult position as prefect
Hermione threatening the twins with their biggest weakness: telling their mother
Hermione leaves out handknit hats for the House Elves, putting trash on top in the hopes to free time - we get her intent but it isn't very ethical to trick them
Could House Elves even be freed this way?
This doesn't mean Ron should make fun of her knitting attempts! It's a process!
The professors pushing how important their OWL exams are feels familiar to how High School teachers spoke about how serious University and College would be
Minne G gives the students a very nice pep talk, where they could all get an O in Transfiguration if they work hard and have confidence in themselves - even Neville!
Shay thinks they are exaggerating how much homework they have
Grubbly-Plank is such a great teacher... sorry Hagrid
Shay does not understand how the points system works at Hogwarts
Harry needs to stop annoying Grubbly-Plank about Hagrid
Luna lets Harry know he has her support, and Hermione picks a fight with her
Why does Luna rub Hermione the wrong way?
Angelina is channeling Oliver's intensity about Quidditch, we love that for her
Angelina does not care Harry is being gaslight about Umbridge, she has the team to think about!
Harry's detention with Umbridge is... a lot
Psychological and physical torture to a minor in your care? Jail!!!!
Harry does not have parents or an adequate guardian who can advocate for him, which Umbridge knows and takes advantage of
If this happened to one of the Weasley kids, Molly would be walking up to the school to commit a crime
Ron has made the Gryffindor Quidditch team! It's such a shame how insecure he is and how it affects his performance
It's actually great that Angelina focused on picking not the best player, but the player she felt would mesh with the current team the best
Harry doesn't tell Ron and Hermione what really happened during his detention, which is a shame
Harry feels that Dumbledore only cares about his scar... which is probably true
When Umbridge touches Harry, his scar hurts and he wants to talk to someone about this but feels like he can't
Harry's support system is really being cut off
Shay thinks a lot of this chapter is connected to needlework

May 27, 2026#110 Have a Biscuit | OOTP 12, Professor Umbridge
Potter Revisited Episode #110 Have a Biscuit AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 12 "Professor Umbridge"
Harry is not coping well with his peers thinking he is a liar, and is taking it out on Ron and Hermione
The Twins are advertising for product testers which seems like a bit of a red flag
Angelina Johnson is the new Griffindor Quidditch Captain - we love women in power
It is smart for the twins to conduct some kind of market research and not just focus on what they like
Being dormmates with the twins seems dangerous
The Twins debated leaving school before their last year - is this something they could actually do?
Ron and Harry think being an Aurror would be cool but Hermione is considering what she could do with SPEW after Hogwarts
It is crazy that they need to consider their futures at 15
Cho approaches Harry but Ron ruins their moment by confronting her about her Quidditch Team
Harry tries his best to make his potion but Snape won't even let him turn it in despite it not even being the worst in the class - +1 Snape Sucks point
Potions seems very similar to baking - everything needs to be very exact
Shay wonders if Snape is being harder on Harry now to prepare him for what is to come. Tori thinks he's just a dick
Dream analysis would be cool to learn, Harry and Ron are haters
The trio attend the first DADA lesson with Umbridge, and she treats the class like they are a lot younger and comes off very condescending
What are Umbridge's qualifications for teaching anyway? The other professors seem to have some real life experience or expertise in their fields
Umbridge reveals the new course aims, and they kids are not going to be learning defensive magic, only the theory
Having students use class time to read a textbook is such a waste of time
When the students complain about not being taught magic (valid), Umbridge decides it is a good idea to slander their previous teachers, and calls Lupin a "half-breed" - so disgusting to to, especially in front of the students. +1 sucks point
We love Dean standing up for Lupin, and the fact that Imposter Moody was actually a good teacher despite being a criminal
Pavarti brings up not learning spells during an important exam year - not everyone learns through theory and if this was a normal school year we could see parents being upset
Harry calls out Umbridge for not learning defensive magic when Voldemort is back
Umbridge gaslights Harry so hard we have whiplash
Umbrige telling student to come talk to her if people are speaking about Voldemort and that she is their friend is such a red flag. Adults - especially teachers - should not be friends with students. +1 Sucks point
Its so hard for Harry to hear how the Ministry stance disrespects Cedric - saying his death is an accident rather than the fact he was murdered in cold blood
Harry gets sent to McGonagall and she has one of the best lines in the series "have a biscuit, Potter" we stan
Its so interesting seeing this from Minnie G as she is one of the more proper and strict teachers in the series
Its really good that Minerva gives Harry this lesson of having to look at the bigger picture - what is happening to him is not right in any regard but he needs to consider the endgame rather than yelling that he is right to everyone who disagrees with him

May 06, 2026#109 Make Hogwarts Great Again | OOTP 11, The Sorting Hat's New Song
Potter Revisited Episode #109 Make Hogwarts Great Again AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 11 "The Sorting Hat's New Song"
It is such an odd time to be rereading OOTP with its themes of government overreach
Harry sees the Thestrals pulling the carriages when Ron doesn't and is starting to think he is losing it since Luna can see them too
Harry is bottling up a lot of feelings, thoughts and emotions which isn't healthy
Luna says Hagrid is a bad teacher and tbh, she isn't wrong. Ginny, Ron and Harry have a biased view
This is one of the only times where Harry is starting the year with people talking about him negatively
Harry notes that the new person at the staff table is the witch from his Ministry Hearing - while Hermione instantly infers that Umbridge is the new DADA teacher
The Sorting Hat has a new song that is very different from his usual - explaining the different houses and their preferred traits
This song goes into some Founders lore including rifts in friendships, ego clouding judgement and if sorting is actually a good thing and issues a warning that Hogwarts is in danger
Shay has some issues with how the hat generalizes the houses, such as Slytherin's and Hufflepuff's
Dumbledore is scandalously interrupted by Umbridge who gives a weird speech
Umbridge gives off the vibe that she has never spoken to a real child before and comes off very condescending
Children should not be friends with teachers / adults, Umbridge!!!
Ron and Hermione quickly realize they have Prefect Duties at the end of the feast to attend to
Is Ron acting odd about his badge because he feels he doesn't deserve it, or that he doesn't want to rub it in Harry's face that he got it
Or is it more about not wanting to be like Percy, who abandoned the family?
Neville is so excited that he knows the password and will be able to remember it
Harry is surprised and angry that Seamus' mom doesn't believe him and Dumbledore, and how Seamus is fishing for information on how Cedric died
Dean brings up that is parents don't know what has happened because he hasn't told them - does Hogwarts not inform parents, especially muggle parents? Death of a student would be a big thing to keep hidden
We love Ron standing up for Harry. He would throw down if needed
Neville's quiet support of Harry is so nice
Harry has people on his side, but is is struggling with having people he has known for years turn against him which is hard

April 23, 2026#108 Very Right and Very Wrong | OOTP 10, Luna Lovegood
Potter Revisited Episode #108 Very Right and Very Wrong AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 10 "Luna Lovegood"
Harry has some odd dreams after the party from the end of last chapter
It is smart of Moody to make sure Harry has a guard for his return to Hogwarts
Shay finds it odd Harry doesn't have a guard for the train
We love the chaos of the days preparing to leave for Hogwarts
Fred and George knock Ginny down the stairs in the chaos
Sirius decides to come to Kings Cross as a dog, and Mrs Weasley doesn't care anymore
Lupin says goodbye by giving Harry and co a handshake - is this a british thing?
Ron and Hermione have to go to to the Prefects carriage and Harry is sad about traveling without Ron
Thank god for Ginny taking pity on Harry as she likely has her own friends she could be sitting with
Harry thinking lowly of Neville makes Shay mad
We are finally introduced to Luna Lovegood as we love her
Luna is much more eccentric in the books but she is very aware of how she is perceived but will not edit herself to appease people which is nice to see
Neville got a rare plant as a gift from his great uncle, and it is so nice to see Neville's interests appreciated by someone in his family
Shay thinks that Luna and Neville make a good couple
Neville's attempt to show off his plants powers goes poorly when Cho Chang seems Harry and co covered in stinky plant sap
Hermione reveals that Malfoy and Pansy are Slytherin prefects and seems very put out by Pansy being selected rather than Malfoy
Shay is very upset about Malfoy being made prefect and for the first time ever - is giving Snape +1 sucks point for it!!!
Harry borrows The Quibbler from Luna and finds an interesting article about Sirius - as adults we can appreciate how funny this is a lot more
The Quibbler seems like a satire magazine except that they belief these opinions are true
To be fair to the Quibbler, they do proper interviews and back up their opinions with some evidence unlike Rita Skeeter
Hermione accidentally insults Luna - They are both such contrasting characters, like foils of each other which make their interactions so fun and interesting. They really are the Sully and Mulder of Hogwarts.
Hermione uses logic and evidence to back her opinions, where Luna has faith and belief
Malfoy comes right on schedule to bully Harry as usual - but Harry can't really be bothered by Malfoy's typical schoolyard insults after what he has been through in GoF
Harry is very worried when he sees Hagrid is not guiding the first years to Hogwarts
Harry comes face to face with a Thestral - which is he now able to see pulling the carriages for the first time
Harry being able to see them now is likely that he witnessed and processed that Cedric died in front of him, and he wasn't able to do that as an infant for his parents
or could it be that he was wearing glasses when he saw Cedric die and wasn't when he was a baby?
Malfoy implies he knows about Sirius' dog disguise - Harry is now very concerned about the risk Sirius took
Why do they have the Thestrals pulling the carriages at Hogwarts? Could it be to spot students that may need more support?
We love how Luna seems to be presented as nerodivergent and what it meant to us growing up

April 09, 2026#107 Ron Weasley, The Chosen One | OOTP 9, The Woes of Mrs Weasley
Potter Revisited Episode #107 Ron Weasley, The Chosen One AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 9 "The Woes of Mrs Weasley"
Tori feels the need to stick up for Ron in this chapter
Harry is cleared of all charges, and Dumbledore dips without even telling Arthur what happened
Percy and Arthur ignore each other
Harry and Arthur spot Lucius speaking with Cornelius and Lucius is very comfortable with his position as his goads Harry
Patronus Potter is actually a great nickname
We can't wait for Lucius to be in jail by the end of OOTP - what he deserves
The "He got off" chant is so fun
Everyone is happy Harry got off, except for Sirius
It is a bit immature for Sirius to be visibly upset Harry won't be an outcast with him, but we can understand why he is feeling down being suck in Grimmauld Place
The kids are back to cleaning up Grimmauld Place, and Hermione thinks a clean of Gryffindor Tower would be a great idea for SPEW
We love how dedicated Hermione is to SPEW despite how Ron and Harry treat it
Why was the booklist sent out the LAST day of the holidays?
Ron and Hermione are made Gryffindor prefects and Harry isn't sure how to feel
Poor Ron, everyone says how they expected Harry to get the badge
Mrs Weasley is there to praise Ron, which is probably good for her to have some good news to focus on
Ron has matured from GOF and doesn't take out any hard feelings about how everyone treats him getting the badge out on Harry
Its good for Harry (and Ron) for Harry not to get something that Ron does
Harry is fine with not being prefect after finding out his dad wasn't one
Moody shows Harry an old Order photo which he thinks is cool but really brings the party mood down
Moody thinks Alberforth Dumbledore is a strange guy, which says something
Harry stumbles across Molly trying to get rid of the Boggart which shows members of the Weasleys dead
Shay thought Ron might of really been dead for a moment when reading as a kid
This is some dark foreshadowing to a Weasley Death
The Twins are shown dead together, showing Molly couldn't imagine them being separated by death - we are not ready to lose Fred
Shay has issue with how Lupin says he would look after Ron and Ginny if Molly and Arthur died
Shay is back to not being a Dumbledore fan
Tori takes issue with Dumbledore saying later that he felt Harry had too much going on to be prefect - Ron deserves better than being a sub-in
Tori explains why she feels Ron is the best choice for Gryffindor prefect, and Shay discusses if Neville could of been an option

March 26, 2026#106 I Set the Vibe | OOTP 8, The Hearing
Potter Revisited Episode #105 Department of Injustice AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 7 "The Ministry of Magic"
Harry entering the room alone and realizing he is in the room where he saw the death eater trials is spooky
Does the Ministry assume Harry traveled to London from Surrey? Surely he should be pardoned for being late do the the quick location and time change - especially since he is a minor who cannot use the quicker transportation methods
Harry notices Percy, but Percy ignores him
What are Fudge and Umbridge's credentials to be interrogators in a criminal hearing? This feels like the Prime Minister asking you questions about a crime they think you committed as a minor
Fudge has an agenda for this hearing and how he wants it to go
Dumbledore makes his dramatic entrance into the hearing
Shay loves this version of Dumbledore - alert the press!
The way Dumbledore comes in, acts very calm and assertive totally undermines Fudge and his control over the hearing
Why is it such a big deal that Harry did magic in front of a Muggle when the Muggle is Dudley, who already knows about magic?
Madame Bones being so in shock and impressed about Harry being able to produce a patronus is so great, we stan
Fudge making a joke using Bagman's gambling addiction is in such poor taste and completely inappropriate for the situation
Dumbledore brings up the Charter of Rights - shouldn't Harry been aware of this before the hearing so he wasn't steamrolled by the Minister of Magic who has a vendetta against him?
Mrs Figg is brought in as a witness, and it shows how much care the Ministry has in Squibs as they have no record of her
We are introduced to Umbridge and prepare for the awfulness coming our way
Umbridge is such an different villain compared to Voldemort in the series
Fudge brining up other past incidents of Harry shows he is grasping at straws, and how corrupt he is when he says "laws can be changed"
Dumbledore dips as soon as Harry is cleared, and Tori doesn't understand Shay's Amanda Show reference
Shay discusses Madam Bones and how she would make a great surrogate mom figure for Harry in addition to Molly... and Tori breaks the news that she dies

March 11, 2026#105 Department of Injustice | OOTP 7, The Ministry of Magic
Potter Revisited Episode #105 Department of Injustice AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 7 "The Ministry of Magic"
Harry is trying to get ready for his important hearing and the portrait in his room is laughing at him getting dressed
Couldn't they have found Harry a better outfit for his important hearing or better prepare him?
We get a small hint to Scrimgeour, who plays a big role in HBP
Harry's original hearing was just supposed to be him and Amelia Bones - crazy how it escalates
Harry commutes the muggle way with Arthur to the ministry which brings back some great and not great commuting memories
Shay wonders if the telephone box entrance to the Ministry is too close to Doctor Who
Harry internally judging the Ministry's appearance and location when he just sees the scummy street and telephone box is great
Shay feels Harry should donate the money first to get good karma for his hearing
Mr Weasley's interactions with other members of the ministry do a great job at showing the kind of person he is - he is friendly and knows lots of people from many different departments
We debate why Eric the Security Guard seems to want to hold Harry back
Would you take a slide if it was at your office?
Are you able to demand replies from the ministry memos like Harry uses Hedwig to demand responses to his letters?
We get a small glimpse into the Aurror department
Arthur's department office really shows the lack of respect the Ministry has for it and muggle relations in general
Shay wonders if Arthur is really qualified for his job despite his passion for it
Harry's meeting place and time gets changed at the last minute - Fudge has it out for him. This wouldn't fly IRL
There is also a small introduction of Bode who comes into play later in OOTP
Harry is shocked that he is supposed to attend the hearing alone - shouldn't he have some kind of advocate as he is a minor? Maybe McGonagall or Dumbledore as they can represent the school
Shay lists off all the things that should of been done so Harry was properly prepared for this hearing
We touch on the prejudice, racism, propaganda and other elements going on at the Ministry
We discuss some of the most fun sounding departments and jobs at the Ministry are

February 25, 2026#104 His Family Tree is a Circle | OOTP 6, The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black
Potter Revisited Episode #104 His Family Tree is a Circle AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 6 "The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black"
Molly tries to send the kids to bed and put a stop to them talking about the Voldemort info dump they just got
Shay thinks the portraits in the bedrooms that can speak and see you are creepy
The twins apparating on Ron's knees is such a funny image
Fred thinking the weapon Sirius mention would be kept at Hogwarts is a strong theory
Love that George recognizes how powerful Ginny is - we are really starting to develop her character
Is Harry's odd dream about weapons as creatures PTSD from the skrewts?
Sirius is keeping Buckbeak in his mother's old room- we love a petty king
There is some forced politeness between Molly and Sirius after their confrontation from last night - makes it a bit awkward
Molly is using Gilderoy Lockhart's book for getting rid of the doxies - does she know he was a fraud?
Fred and George fill Harry in on their joke shop plans which have taken off quite a bit since the end of GoF
George fits a lot of stuff in his pockets - how are we still battling small pockets for women in 2026? Tori thinks back to 2016 skinny jeans and little has changed
Mundugus tries to stash stolen goods at Grimmauld Place - not on Molly's watch
We are introduced to Kreacher the House Elf - who is a lot different than Dobby
Sirius does not treat Kreacher well - could it be he is the last living reminder of the trauma he faced living at Grimmauld Place?
Sirius shows Harry the family tapestry and how he was disowned at 16
Shay notes how Sirius' family tree is basically a circle with all the inbreeding
Does Sirius running away at 16 have anything to do with the "prank" he played on Snape around the same age?
Sirius is obviously not doing well emotionally and mentally being back at Grimmauld Place
We learn about Sirius' brother Regulus - lots of foreshadowing
Harry forgot he still needs to attend the hearing at the Ministry
Why does Harry not have an advocate or a lawyer for this hearing?
Would Dumbledore actually allow Harry to stay at Grimmauld Place with Sirius if he was expelled?
The locket horcrux is mentioned so casually within a number of items they find in the drawing room
McGonagall in muggle clothing is unnatural
Despite being with friends and his support system, Harry is still not confiding in anyone
Dumbledore comes to Grimmauld Place but doesn't see Harry at all

February 04, 2026#103 Family Dinner | OOTP 5, The Order of the Phoenix
Potter Revisited Episode #103 Family Dinner AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 5 "The Order of the Phoenix"
This feels like a true family dinner
Turns out this creepy house belongs to Sirius as he is the last Black alive
Shay discusses the layout of Grimmauld Place and how it shows the class level of Sirius' family
Harry and Sirius are finally reunited and both seem to be angry with Dumbledore
Shout Out to Greenland!
We agree with Molly, no smoking at the dinner table Mundungus
Does Sirius feel a camaraderie with Mundugus?
We see another side to Sirius - he seems more bitter and reckless than GoF Sirius
Sirius and Snape are still at odds - that forced handshake can't undo years of loathing, Dumbledore
The Twins are obsessed with saving time with magic
Harry is finally given the opportunity to ask some questions
Molly and Sirius have some real tension
Thank God Lupin is around to defuse the situation between Molly and Sirius
Shay thinks it was irresponsible for James and Lily to name just Sirius Godfather of Harry
Is Molly upset because Sirius has the "authority" over Harry's wellbeing since he is Godfather
Fudge is a true evil politician
The weapon being the prophecy - should Harry have been aware of this earlier so it couldn't be used against him?
Is Molly struggling with the lack of control? There are a lot of things going on with her family
