Oof-Tee-Poof, everyone!! 👋

Here is a chance to get your comment read out in the next Book review video!

If you are reading along with the reviews, we are covering chapter "Out of the Fire"! So if you have any thoughts, opinions, comparisons or questions regarding these, please leave a comment below!

I do have to ask, try to keep them fairly short, like 4 or 5 sentences. That way I can cover more when making the video. Also try to keep them on subject and not referencing anything that we are yet to cover. Ideally, keep it to 1 comment each if you can (if you have more to say after commenting, you can edit it and add to it! :) ). These are just rough guidelines rather than rules, I want to be able to fit in as many of you as possible! :)

NEW FEATURE!! - As some of you may want to make a comment, but not have it replied to by others, you can now Message me your thoughts on the chapters by DM'ing me on here. If you do, please follow all the above rules, especially avoiding mentioning things in future chapters or books! Oh and please start your DM message with "Book Club -"!

To anyone that does reply to comments below, please make sure you are being friendly and respectful! A lot of tone and meaning can be lost in text, after all! If you disagree with someone on something, keep it polite and remember the golden rule in life - Sometimes you have to just agree to disagree! :)

Thanks, guys!! :)

Hey Veggie! It's a pity snape couldn't get on better with Harry, because despite being an order member he doesn't get close to Harry's thoughts when he believes everyone who can help him is gone - the one time he decides to go to a responsible adult!

Greetings, Veggie and Woozle! Ch 32 - It’s really interesting that they skipped the scene with Hagrid and McGonagall being attacked in the movie, it removes any plausible explanation for why Harry couldn’t seek help after his vision. - ‘then we’ll have your body as proof for the next idiot’ - I love Ginny. - You kept mentioning how many ‘L’s Umbridge was taking. I think it’s necessary to show why she would become desperate and resort to the extreme of torturing a student with an illegal curse, especially with so many witnesses. She kept taking losses and becoming more unhinged as she lost control of the school. - And finally the answer to why Harry was attacked by dementors. Did you ever suspect it was Umbridge, or was this previously spoiled for you? It makes her treatment of him during the trial even more infuriating, she knew he was telling the truth. Thank you for all your hard work, and remember to take care of yourself and Woozle!

Hi Veggie and Woozle! I love the relationship Harry and McGonagall have and I wish they’d been able to include it in the movies more. I know how much Dan and Maggie cared about each other - there was a day that Dan stayed when he was done work just to hold Maggie’s umbrella in the rain. They also worked together before the movies so I think their relationship was similar to book canon. I appreciate the realism in Harry’s fear for Sirius making him unable to hear any logic from Hermione and to get frustrated with others. Personal note, I just rebound the Harry Potter series in Hufflepuff colours with all different creatures on the covers. You were the inspiration for it!

Hi Veggie, hi Woozle! Finally found the time to participate in the book club! And what a chapter it is. Harry is so frantically trying to communicate with Sirius, he forgets Snape. Well, Hermione and Ron did also forget him. And then he doesn’t trust him to help. What did Harry expect Snape to do in front of Umbridge? Say „I‘ll go tell Dumbledore“?

The arrogance of this kid honestly. Always knows best. Forgets multiple solutions to the problem. Ignores hermione at every turn. Ill edit this later

Hi Veggie A shorter chapter this time. - Harry's panic is understandable, last time he saw something like this someone nearly died, and only acting quickly saved them! But he really should slow down, take a breath, and talk with Hermione! - The biggest problem with the Occlumency lessons im my opinion, is that no one (that Harry trusts) sat him down and properly explained Why it was important for him to learn it. - Love ginny and Luna standing up for themselves and giving back as they get from Harry's rudeness while also being willing to help. - They really should have established a better way to communicate with the order, even if the order doesn't consider them members... - Did snape really give umbridge all the viteraserium he had on hand or did he lie about it? I am leaning towards him lying about not having it. - And finally we get to see just how far umbridge is willing to go, even if she does have to guile herself up to it. (for loyalty?? why is she willing to go this far.) She is, and has been, willing to both "kill" and Torture Harry to get him to "stop making trouble" for the minister.

Hi veggie it's been a while since I posted but your getting into uncovered territory. I have just three little notes for this chapter. I honestly feel like the movie glosses over the fact that Harry actually has more then just Ron and Hermione as friends. They definitely make Ginny an after thought In the movie where the books have her so strong. On kreachers behalf no one on the right side has shown him any kindness so no wonder he's bitter. Umbridge is worse then Voldemort in many peoples viewpoint. She abuses children and is against anyone not perfect.

Hi Veggie! I still don’t understand why they didn’t include the fact that Umbridge was the one who sent the dementors in the movie, it would have taken like 10 seconds of dialogue and would help making her a real threat… Maybe it’s because, as you pointed out, she hasn’t been taking as many L’s in the movie, so she would be less likely to let something like this slip and admit she was behind the attack in front of witnesses? But still, from a narrative standpoint it’s weird to never get an answer for this mystery. I guess many movie watchers must have assumed Voldemort was behind the attack, was it also the case for you? Why did Sirius go to the department of mysteries? And how does Kreacher know that he ‘‘won’t come back’’?

Hi Veggie! I admit, sometimes the fact that the characters conveniently forget the easiest solution to problems annoys me and makes me think it's lazy writing. In Chamber, they decide to take the flying car to Hogwarts, and when McGonagall asks why they didn't simply send an owl, Harry is like, "Oh, of course, it's obvious; I'm so stupid". Then, in this chapter, they decide to do this super dangerous plan, and when Snape shows up, Harry is like, "Oh, of course, I could have talked to him; I'm so stupid". I know Harry hates Snape, so he wouldn't want to think about talking to him, but I would expect at least Hermione to bring him up, and maybe then Harry could have refused, but nope, simply "forgot about it".

I helped 😅 (in reminding to post this) Hello woozy and woozle I don't have anything to say on these chapters until the end of Half Blood Prince where I have a lot to say and I have it already typed out lol. Thank you for doing this. These book clubs helps me out more than you could imagine. And thank you to each and everyone here who takes their time to write comments.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO BOOK CLUB! Would anyone like to help me with something I've prepared for Veggie and the book club? It's a small surprise but I need help with the art/graphics, and I don't want to use AI. Please let me know in the replies 🫶✨

Hi Veggie Kreacher being as loathsome as usual here. Hand injuries seem to be common for House Elfs. What do you think, accident, punished by someone or self inflicted? It’s not really surprising that Harry didn’t think to go to Snape. While Harry may understand logically that Snape is on the same side, emotionally he is the enemy and Harry was very emotional in that moment.
