Potter Revisited Episode #25 Slytherins In Lamborghinis AKA Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 7 "Mudbloods and Murmurs"

• Harry spends his time avoiding Lockhart and Colin, which we get
• Ron's wand injuries Professor Flitwick but yet, the school does nothing depite it being dangerous
• It's a miracle Ron didn't have to do exams with his broken wand
• Oliver was organized enough to book the Quidditch pitch for practice, but didn't tell the team beforehand? How did he get the girls up for practice?
• Colin has some crazy Harry Senses
• Colin shows Harry the photo of him and Lockhart, and Harry is trying to escape from view - very similar to how Harry was feeling when the photo was taken
• How exactly do photos and portraits work in the Wizarding World? How can portraits move between frames - even ones that aren't their own?
• Should the school do more to teach Muggleborns about Quidditch?
• Wood had them practice without eating breakfast - not very smart, Oliver!
• Interesting the Slytherin Team is all boys, when Muggle Quidditch has a Co-Ed rule for Gender Equality 
• Shay discusses the Gryffindor and Slytherin play styles and how they choose their team members to fit their needs
• +1 Snape Sucks point for overruling Oliver's booked pitch despite him going through the proper channels
• Malfoy is on the Quidditch team and Lucius bought the whole team state of the art brooms - how is this allowed?
• Malfoy is known to be a very good flier - so why did he resort to buying his way onto the team? 
• The Gryffindor team has no idea what to say to Malfoy - but Hermione comes right in for his insecurities like a badass
• Ron's first instinct is to curse Malfoy on Hermione's behalf - what a stand up guy
• Fred and George almost seem to get violent with Malfoy while Ron resorts to magic confrontation - is Quidditch the Twins way of releasing anger? 
• Why can't Colin read the room and see that Ron is ill? 
• Shay feels like Colin has Only Child Syndrome - we wonder if Dennis was a last minute addition to the series
• Hermione is affronted that Hagrid talks down about Lockhart, which is interesting for Hagrid since he always respects the Hogwarts Profs
• This book really shows the importance Hermione has to the trio + Hagrid. Hagrid refers to her as "Our Hermione" and Ron sticks up for her compared to the last novel 
• Is Hagrid right that no one else applied for DADA or is that just what Dumbledore wants everyone to think?
• We love Ron being the one to give the Wizarding Society context rather than Hermione in the movies. It makes so much more sense!
• Hagrid is growing suspiciously big pumpkins and Harry thinks his old wand is hidden in his umbrella. If so - did Dumbledore help Hagrid with this?
• We get some foreshadowing to Hagrid being expelled
• Shay wonders if Hermione fears expulsion because she sees what Hagrid's life is like 
• Shay discusses what she think Hermione would do if she was expelled 
• Hermione obviously disapproves of Hagrid using magic on the pumpkins but is also impressed - we see this a lot with Hermione and the Twins later on in the series
•  Harry and Ron receive their detentions - who approved Harry's detention?
• We finally hear "the voice" and Ron is Harry's go to person on weird magical things - as it should be!
• Interesting foreshadowing with Ron throwing up slugs on Tom Riddle's Services to the School award
