The Real Weird Sisters: A Harry Potter Podcast

Ministry of Magic security protocols turn out to be alarmingly cavalier as Dumbledore’s Army begins its rescue mission. Not a soul is in sight as the group encounters the tank of brains, the Benjamin Button (well, not really Benjamin Button) Bell Jar, and the infamous veil for the first time. It’s not all fun and games, though, as the Department of Mysteries claims its first victim– that’s right, say goodbye to the handy penknife.

Finally, Umbridge gets her comeuppance as Hermy executes her “smart plan… really smart plan” and tries to use the centaurs to do her bidding. After a scuffle with Ronan, Bane, Magorian, and a “hard-faced gray centaur,” Harry’s impatience reaches new levels. After much debate, Luna saves the day and comes up with a plan to fly to the Ministry – and they won’t even have to ride on the back of the Kacky Snorgle to do so!

In this frantic chapter, Harry desperately tries to convince a skeptical Hermione that he doesn’t have a “saving-people-thing.” Ron attempts to fool Umbridge with a not-so-convincing lie about Peeves, while Ginny is a little more successful in tricking their fellow students into believing someone has let off dangerous (possibly fatal??) magical gas in the corridor. Ultimately, Dumbledore’s secrecy, Sirius’s mistreatment of Kreacher, and Snape’s strained relationship with Harry all converge to create the most terrible of misunderstandings.

Oh my goodness, is that them? Is that the examiners?? Professors Tofty (or is it Toffee?) and Marchbanks have arrived, and when it comes to O.W.L.s (more commonly known as owls) it’s not really what you know, it’s who you know. From Ernie averaging eight hours of studying a day to Hermione forgetting the definition of ehwaz, everyone is going to be glad when exams are finally over. However, as exams start to wind down, the real drama begins ramping up! Umbridge stoops to new lows, attacking Hagrid in the dead of night, and Voldemort finally acts on his master plan to invade Harry’s mind. All things considered, he really is quite considerate with his timing of the vision, as he could have planted it during Harry’s very first exam and sabotaged Harry’s chances of passing his O.W.L.s at all!

Now that Harry’s got the basics of Occlumency down, Snape figures he can just carry on on his own with his studies. However, he’s so down about Cho (it definitely couldn’t be anything else) that he’s having trouble enjoying the Easter holidays. When Ginny hatches a dangerous plan, Fred and George are willing to risk it all for Harry to enjoy a quick convo with Sirius. Meanwhile, Queen McGonagall puts it all on the line to vouch for Harry in his pursuit of a career that sounds pretty cool. Please consider supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/realweirdsisters.

With Umbridge as the new Head of Hogwarts, Fred and George take their troublemaking to the next level. A kitten plate saves Harry from divulging important information, though isn’t that the point of the Fidelius Charm? Voldemort begins laying the groundwork for luring Harry to the Ministry (we think?) and Malfoy finds out that Harry has been taking remedial potions. Finally, Harry’s world is shattered when he realizes that his father and godfather were the world’s biggest tools as teenagers.
