HBP: Chapter 29 - The Phoenix Lament

We're back this week, and it's all about the Dark Mark on the Harry Potter Re-read Podcast. David and Kyle break down the chaos following the Quidditch World Cup final and discuss some of the decisions and accusations the characters lay upon each other. There's a lot going on in this chapter, and a re-read provides some clarity on why Barty Crouch reacts the way he does when the Dark Mark emerges in the middle of the night.

David and Kyle are back for an episode almost entirely on the logistics of the Quidditch World Cup and its entirely flawed system. Listen in as the guys talk about everything from the chaos occurring inside the muggle-run campground to the Quidditch World Cup final where there was just as much to watch on the pitch as there was in the air. We also meet two new Ministry of Magic characters who both carry plenty of baggage that we'll learn more about later in this book. Music by: Kenez Nonwar/YouTube

David and Kyle are joined by special guests Michelle and Katrina to discuss the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban movie, and the varying opinions of the film were surely going to cause a rift greater than the one seen between Ron and Hermione in the book. But surprisingly, the crew come to an understanding and had some great discussions about how both the book and movie have cemented themselves as one of the most influential editions in the Harry Potter series. Check out the debate and discussion in the latest Harry Potter Reread Podcast episode.

This week we finish the book! Hermione and Harry go back in time to save Sirius and Buckbeak, we relive a lot of what just happened, and then Harry casts a patronus to save everyone. Sirius escapes on Buckbeak and Snape loses his mind. Lupin resigns so he thinks its cool to give the map and cloak back to Harry. Harry and Dumbledore have their traditional end of book chit chat and Ron gets a new pet. We also recap the highs and lows of the book and try to figure out how time travel works
