Potter Revisited Episode #109 Make Hogwarts Great Again AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 11 "The Sorting Hat's New Song"
It is such an odd time to be rereading OOTP with its themes of government overreach
Harry sees the Thestrals pulling the carriages when Ron doesn't and is starting to think he is losing it since Luna can see them too
Harry is bottling up a lot of feelings, thoughts and emotions which isn't healthy
Luna says Hagrid is a bad teacher and tbh, she isn't wrong. Ginny, Ron and Harry have a biased view
This is one of the only times where Harry is starting the year with people talking about him negatively
Harry notes that the new person at the staff table is the witch from his Ministry Hearing - while Hermione instantly infers that Umbridge is the new DADA teacher
The Sorting Hat has a new song that is very different from his usual - explaining the different houses and their preferred traits
This song goes into some Founders lore including rifts in friendships, ego clouding judgement and if sorting is actually a good thing and issues a warning that Hogwarts is in danger
Shay has some issues with how the hat generalizes the houses, such as Slytherin's and Hufflepuff's
Dumbledore is scandalously interrupted by Umbridge who gives a weird speech
Umbridge gives off the vibe that she has never spoken to a real child before and comes off very condescending
Children should not be friends with teachers / adults, Umbridge!!!
Ron and Hermione quickly realize they have Prefect Duties at the end of the feast to attend to
Is Ron acting odd about his badge because he feels he doesn't deserve it, or that he doesn't want to rub it in Harry's face that he got it
Or is it more about not wanting to be like Percy, who abandoned the family?
Neville is so excited that he knows the password and will be able to remember it
Harry is surprised and angry that Seamus' mom doesn't believe him and Dumbledore, and how Seamus is fishing for information on how Cedric died
Dean brings up that is parents don't know what has happened because he hasn't told them - does Hogwarts not inform parents, especially muggle parents? Death of a student would be a big thing to keep hidden
We love Ron standing up for Harry. He would throw down if needed
Neville's quiet support of Harry is so nice
Harry has people on his side, but is is struggling with having people he has known for years turn against him which is hard
