A hidden prophecy, a headmaster who finally stops keeping secrets, and a battle at the Ministry that ends with a devastating loss - fifth year closes with the wizarding world finally forced to face the truth about the Dark Lord’s return.
Host Rhianna Dhillon is joined once again by Chrissy Costanza to revisit the second half of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Together, they unpack the emotional fallout of Sirius Black’s death, Fred and George’s spectacular Hogwarts exit, the chaos of the Hall of Prophecy, and why this film marks the moment the series fully steps into political thriller territory.
Plus, a Howler arrives with a special appearance from actor and musician Luke Eisner.
