Why was Dumbledore in such a rush to exit the trial chamber? And why didn't he bother to give Arthur the good news about Harry?

What was Lucius Malfoy doing down on Level 9? How does he know enough about Harry's situation to call him "Patronus Potter"? We analyze his level of (financial) influence over Ministry officials.

What does it say about Fudge that despite being surrounded by Death Eaters, Dumbledore believes he's acting of his own free will?

Arthur explains Muggle Baiting to Harry. Do Fred and George’s actions from last summer with ton-tongue toffee fall into this category?

Why doesn't Sirius seem to be happy for Harry? When is he going to grow up?

Are we surprised that everyone was surprised that Ron was made Prefect? Who would have made a better choice? Neville? Dean? Seamus?

The Not-So-Chosen One (OOTP Chapter 9, The Woes of Mrs. Weasley)

After a tumultuous summer, it’s time to go back to Hogwarts! Harry is still navigating his feelings of Ron and Hermione being made prefects, and he’s about to meet an entirely new character who might refresh his perspective, all in the latest Chapter-by-Chapter segment from the MuggleCasters, covering Chapter 10 of Order of the Phoenix, Luna Lovegood.

Harry is dreaming again. What can we make of this latest barrage of symbolism and metaphor?

Why does Harry’s security entourage keep changing? Is it a mark of safety, or dwindling numbers in the Order?

Sirius makes an unfortunate move. Bad dog, Snuffles!

Should we be concerned for Sturgis Podmore?

Hogwarts’ practice of prefects in place of real security might fall short. But at least their carriage is probably nice!

Will the upcoming HP tv series have the most trouble re-casting Luna?

Can Ginny be considered Luna’s friend? Can Neville?

Hermione’s foot enters her mouth regarding the Quibbler. Should she know better than to pick a fight about something a stranger is reading in front of her?

Unfortunately Harry’s arrival at Hogwarts reveals that not a lot has stayed the same how he wanted it. Sad.

Lynx Line: the Best made up Quibbler headlines

Quizzitch: Which UK tabloid, known for its sensationalist journalism, was founded in the year 1896 by a man who would later become 1st Viscount Northcliffe?
