With Firenze now at the helm of the Divination class, we have a lot of questions. Why are Lavender and Parvati so attracted to their new professor? Has teaching always been Firenze's dream? And where exactly do centaurs come from? We also spend plenty of time mourning the end of the D.A., celebrating Dobby's bravery, and wishing we could kick Percy. And while we may not like everything he's done so far this book, we just can't deny that Dumbledore's got style.

While Ron continues to fail miserably at Quidditch, Harry continues to fail miserably at Occlumency, maybe because his visions make him feel special...important? However, it's not all doom and gloom this chapter. Believe it or not, Harry's interview with Rita sends the Quibbler to reprint faster than any previous issue, even those about Crumple-Horned Snorkacks! And Trelawney's sacking leads to a game move only Dumbledore could pull off.

Several disturbing news stories shake the wizarding community, and Hermione sees the chance for an opening for Harry to regain some credibility. Harry goes on a disastrous date with the Human Hosepipe. And finally, Rita Skeeter makes her triumphant return as Hermione's unlikely drinking mate. We may not love the title of this chapter, but there's still plenty to discuss!

Snape reveals himself as a master of sass when he makes a surprise visit to Grimmauld Place. Harry reluctantly parts with Sirius, and Lupin and Tonks enjoy their first date as group chaperones on the Knight Bus. Harry's unhappy return to Hogwarts is made worse with his first session of Remedial Potions (Good Lord, he must be terrible, Snape doesn't usually give extra lessons, does he?)

Harry wallows in the wake of the Extendable Ears fiasco (this is exactly why Phineas Nigellus loathed being a teacher!) and comes up with some interesting theories about how exactly he might have attacked Mr. Weasley. Everyone forgets that Ginny almost died as a first year,  and Hermione gives up a really good skiing trip in order to calm them all down. While Mr. Weasley experiments with Muggle remedies and faces the wrath of Mrs. Weasley, Ron reckons with a possible diagnosis for the unsightly blemishes upon his visage. And finally, Alice and Martha find themselves lost for words regarding one of the series' most depressing scenes.

In one of the most suspenseful chapters of the series so far, Mr. Weasley's life hangs in the balance as Harry struggles to convey just how serious the situation is (do they not realize how much a person bleeds when fangs that long pierce their side?). It's a strange situation when Sirius behaves more maturely than Dumbledore, but that's the world we're living in these days. And finally, we get our first experience in St. Mungo's, which proves to be more lighthearted than expected.

Umbridge stoops to new lows in order to take down our biggest friend--but we know what she's doing, that foul, lying, twisting old gargoyle! Thanks to an extra special meeting of the Defense Association, Cho has A VERY HARRY CHRISTMAS!  Unfortunately, Harry doesn't have too long to bask in the glow of his first kiss, as he takes a little virtual trip to the Department of Mysteries. In other news, get ready for a ton of failed impressions and bizarre attempts at recreating the noises that characters make in this chapter...

Hagrid is back, and he recounts his tale (or is it his tail?) of his time with the giants for the three nosiest kids at Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, and Hermione learn conflicting information about Gurgs, gain new respect for Olympe (she's not afraid of roughin' it), and continue to question exactly how Hagrid got his disturbing injuries. And Hagrid is saved from spilling more info by a knock at the door from everyone's least favorite toad. Warning: Alice and Martha both try out their Hagrid impressions frequently in this super silly episode, with varying degrees of success.
