Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix: Review & Evaluation Part 3 (Chapter 13-Chapter 18)

"No I agree, we've gone past the stage where we can just learn things out of books," said Hermione. "We need a teacher, a proper one who can show us how to use the spells and correct us if we're going wrong." What a series of events in this new installment, where we cover Chapter 13 through Chapter 18 in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The students become the teachers as they look for ways to practice defense spells not only for their upcoming O.W.L. examinations, but for the dark dangers that await them in the real world. That's not all though, so join the Riddikulus Crew as we meander through some key moments such as an unforgettable detention with Professor Umbridge, the Gryffindor quidditch team appointing a new Keeper, and Hogwarts staff members undergoing inspection. This is a cornerstone segment as some lifelong bonds are created through these chapters as well as important locations being introduced. With Educational Decrees making life difficult for students and staff members alike, mercurial fireplace conversations, communications in/out of Hogwarts being monitored and a fateful meeting at the Hog's Head Pub, this is a can't miss breakdown! In the words of Ginny Weasley, "Yeah, the D.A.'s good," said Ginny. "Only let's make it stand for Dumbledore's Army because that's the Ministry's worst fear, isn't it?"

Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix: Review & Evaluation Part 1 (Chapter 1-Chapter 8)

"Dumbledore said we were to keep you from doing magic at all costs." -Arabella Figg. The Riddikulus Crew keeps the Hogwarts Express rolling as we leave the Goblet of Fire behind and park into book 5 in this series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! With this being the largest book of the Harry Potter franchise at 870 pages long, Chase & Josh have their work cut out for them. In this week's episode we cover Chapter 1 through Chapter 8 which has some pretty intensive aspects. From the Dementors appearance in the Muggle world, to the Ministry of Magic's choice of action, to the secret headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, we are starting this book in style with an action packed first episode. Us here at Fact or Fantasy are so glad to host you as this series heats up with a multitude of conflicts between organizations, characters and motives. With the Advance Guard escorting Harry, the mysterious and dark family tree of the Black's, foreboding dreams about long corridors and locked doors and a court hearing to determine Harry's fate, there's too much that you cannot miss.

Goblet of Fire: Highlighted Key Differences Between the Novel & Film

"Harry had taken his first step back toward Gryffindor Tower when something else on the map caught his eye . . . something distinctly odd. Peeves was not the only thing that was moving. A single dot was flitting around a room in the bottom left-hand corner ---- Snape's office. But the dot wasn't labeled "Severus Snape" . . . it was Bartemius Crouch." The Riddikulus Crew is excited to welcome you back as we officially close out and move on from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire today with our differences episode where we highlight the main inconsistencies between the novel and the film! From the missing out of the Weasley's coming to collect Harry from the Dursley's, to the complete omission of the Quidditch World Cup Final, to leaving out Winky the house elf, there are just so many main ingredients of the plot line missing in the film. With the attention to detail and scrutiny you have come to expect from Chase & Josh, we call attention to both major and minor variations that not only exist, but really threaten to change the way the story unfolds. With Dumbledore's brash demeanor, Rita Skeeter never spilling the beans on Hagrid's lineage, omitting Harry's discovery of Bartemius Crouch in Snape's office, Crouch's dead body discovered by Harry behind a tree, the Pensieve only showing one trial (incorrectly, may we add), to the mess they called the Third Task, the film took many liberties that strayed wildly from the novel. So join us here at Fact or Fantasy as we conclude book/film 4 because some of these differences may shock you and others you may realize you overlooked in the past. Whereas Harry tells Professor Moody in the film, "I don't think I said anything about a graveyard, professor." the novel clearly states on Page 673, " "What happened, Harry? " the man asked at last as he lifted Harry up the stone steps. Clunk. Clunk. Clunk. It was Mad-Eye Moody. "Cup was a Portkey," said Harry as they crossed the entrance hall. "Took me and Cedric to a graveyard . . . and Voldemort was there . . . Lord Voldemort . . ." "

Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire: Review & Evaluation Part 6 (Chapter 34-End)

"Very good," said Lord Voldemort softly, and as he raised his wand the pressure bearing down upon Harry lifted too. "And now you face me, like a man . . . straight-backed and proud, the way your father died. . . . And now ---- we duel." We have finally arrived at the climax and most crucial moments of the Harry Potter series thus far, today we conclude the contents in book 4, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! Wrapping up the first "big" novel in the series, there are so many instances that set the tone for where the series goes from here. It is the perfect transition novel for a series that goes from a targeted audience of younger readers, to fans of all ages. In a segment that includes return of Lord Voldemort, an imposter at Hogwarts, a brash decision before justice could be properly served, and the preparations for the Second War, nothing can be left out. As we close out this book, Chase & Josh also give their fan-favorite Magical Creature ratings as well as a surprise addition to the outline that already includes Favorite/Impact Moments, Foreshadowed Events, Potential Plot Holes and Interesting Facts. With the epic duel between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, the diabolical plan being unveiled, the Minister of Magic and Albus Dumbledore's falling out, and the distribution of multiple secret missions given out by Dumbledore to his trusted allies, there's no way you can miss this all-inclusive episode! In the words of Albus Dumbledore, "I tell you now ---- take the steps I have suggested, and you will be remembered, in office or out, as one of the bravest and greatest Ministers of Magic we have ever known. Fail to act ---- and history will remember you as the man who stepped aside and allowed Voldemort a second chance to destroy the world we have tried to rebuild!"
