Harry Potter After 2020: 5.9: The Woes of Mrs. Weasley

She is a resistance fighter who's already lost family and now has children; the more people you love in life, the more they have on you. This is just a fact. Snape is the opposite, of course; he delib...

In this week’s chapter, Ron finally has a moment of triumph—only for it to be instantly overshadowed by his mother’s encounter with a boggart. At least he walks away with a new broom!

Yoda once told Anakin Skywalker “train yourself to let go of everything you are afraid to lose” for precisely this reason. It may be too late for Molly to adopt that strategy.

Harry Potter After 2020: 5.8: The Hearing

This way that Harry is being set up here -- drawing more blame to himself in proportion to how well he could defend himself from attack -- the only way for Harry to be virtuous in Fudge's eyes is to l...

In this weeks chapter, we see a fascinating play on words: they call this a “hearing,” and then the Wizengamot shows how bad they are at listening.

In each book, Harry takes at least one trip that widens his gaze into the wizarding world. This is a particularly overwhelming one!

Harry Potter After 2020: 5.6: The Ancient and Most Noble House of Black

When Sirius looks around at how they're refitting the house for the Order, he says, "If my parents could see the use it was being put to now…" I thought, 'Oh, that's actually honest and hopeful,' beca...

Cleaning house might not be everyone’s favorite way to pass the time, but imagine making a noble and most ancient house “fit for human habitation.” Harry and the Order are doing just that in this week’s episode!

Harry’s first dinner party with the Order of the Phoenix isn’t exactly relaxing, but at least it gets him closer to the truth. Or does it?

For once, Harry agrees that his position in the wizarding world should grant him certain privileges. Yet, it only gets him so far. Would he know anything he learns in this chapter if it weren’t for his godfather?

Harry Potter After 2020: 5.4: Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place

Buckle up, friends! This is the one where Harry goes CAPS LOCK (or bold characters, as it were) for the first time. After everything he’s been through, who could blame him?
