The Order of the Phoenix (and the triangle) | Harry Potter Book 5 | Bonus Minisode

It’s week 5 over here in this crazy Harry Potter whirlwind of a miniseries!

Join Ashley and Liz as they read the entire HP series for the first time as full grown adults! Do you want our commentary? How about our thoughts on whether or not it’s controversial enough for our parents to BAN us from reading it as kids? We give you all of our opinions.

Episode 5 covers book 5: Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix. The first five-ish minutes are spoiler free with our one sentence rapid star reviews. Then Liz attempts to detail the entire plot in five sentences or less. Which after reading this entire book in less than two days was an ADVENTURE, to say the least. But Ashley gives our ears an even more satisfying treat from the Chamber of Secrets to celebrate Liz’s unlikely success!  

We talk about what our faves and fail characters and plot points are, our feelings on if this book should've been banned, if we have any unanswered questions (*cough* Sirius *cough*) and end with a fun piece of sinister and spooky HP trivia.
