Potter Revisited Episode #108 Very Right and Very Wrong AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 10 "Luna Lovegood"
Harry has some odd dreams after the party from the end of last chapter
It is smart of Moody to make sure Harry has a guard for his return to Hogwarts
Shay finds it odd Harry doesn't have a guard for the train
We love the chaos of the days preparing to leave for Hogwarts
Fred and George knock Ginny down the stairs in the chaos
Sirius decides to come to Kings Cross as a dog, and Mrs Weasley doesn't care anymore
Lupin says goodbye by giving Harry and co a handshake - is this a british thing?
Ron and Hermione have to go to to the Prefects carriage and Harry is sad about traveling without Ron
Thank god for Ginny taking pity on Harry as she likely has her own friends she could be sitting with
Harry thinking lowly of Neville makes Shay mad
We are finally introduced to Luna Lovegood as we love her
Luna is much more eccentric in the books but she is very aware of how she is perceived but will not edit herself to appease people which is nice to see
Neville got a rare plant as a gift from his great uncle, and it is so nice to see Neville's interests appreciated by someone in his family
Shay thinks that Luna and Neville make a good couple
Neville's attempt to show off his plants powers goes poorly when Cho Chang seems Harry and co covered in stinky plant sap
Hermione reveals that Malfoy and Pansy are Slytherin prefects and seems very put out by Pansy being selected rather than Malfoy
Shay is very upset about Malfoy being made prefect and for the first time ever - is giving Snape +1 sucks point for it!!!
Harry borrows The Quibbler from Luna and finds an interesting article about Sirius - as adults we can appreciate how funny this is a lot more
The Quibbler seems like a satire magazine except that they belief these opinions are true
To be fair to the Quibbler, they do proper interviews and back up their opinions with some evidence unlike Rita Skeeter
Hermione accidentally insults Luna - They are both such contrasting characters, like foils of each other which make their interactions so fun and interesting. They really are the Sully and Mulder of Hogwarts.
Hermione uses logic and evidence to back her opinions, where Luna has faith and belief
Malfoy comes right on schedule to bully Harry as usual - but Harry can't really be bothered by Malfoy's typical schoolyard insults after what he has been through in GoF
Harry is very worried when he sees Hagrid is not guiding the first years to Hogwarts
Harry comes face to face with a Thestral - which is he now able to see pulling the carriages for the first time
Harry being able to see them now is likely that he witnessed and processed that Cedric died in front of him, and he wasn't able to do that as an infant for his parents
or could it be that he was wearing glasses when he saw Cedric die and wasn't when he was a baby?
Malfoy implies he knows about Sirius' dog disguise - Harry is now very concerned about the risk Sirius took
Why do they have the Thestrals pulling the carriages at Hogwarts? Could it be to spot students that may need more support?
We love how Luna seems to be presented as nerodivergent and what it meant to us growing up
