Welcome Slug Club member Chloe! Wizards Unite is out and we discuss what we like about the game so far! Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is dealing with some launch pains Chapter-by-Chapter returns with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 29 The Phoenix Lament 7-Word Summary: After Dumbledore's death, Harry regroups with friends Harry breaks the news of Dumbledore's death and reveals the truth about Snape and Draco Lupin's loses control when learning of Dumbledore's death in a way Harry has never seen. Is this because of everything Dumbledore has done for Lupin? We discuss the healing impact of Fawkes' phoenix song on the Order Why did Lupin or Sirius never tell Harry about Snape and Lily? Given Harry had been right about Draco all year, if you were Ron and Hermione, how would you feel? The Vanishing Cabinet and Hand of Glory have strong threads connecting them back to Chamber of Secrets When Flitwick comes to get Snape and is mysteriously unconscious, why aren't Hermione and Luna quicker on the uptake? Shouldn't the fact that Snape didn't kill Flitwick tell us that more is happening than meets the eye? Does Snape actually save Luna and Hermione's lives? With Death Eaters in Hogwarts, do we think Snape is trying to act as quickly as possible to prevent them from harming the students/? Why didn't the Order stop Snape and Malfoy? Why didn't they alert the Ministry? Much like in Goblet of Fire, why didn't the Dark Mark trigger an immediate Ministry response? We react to Fleur's response to Bill's condition and Tonks' big reveal about Lupin Is Harry not trusting in McGonagall about the Horcruxes a mistake? Should Hogwarts remain open? The hosts give their MVPs of the Week and Rename The Chapter Quizzitch: In the final chapter of Half-Blood Prince, who is sitting in Snape's seat in the Great Hall?
