| 0:00.0 | Welcome, dear listeners, I'm Jonathan Carlin. |
| 0:20.5 | And I'm Benjamin Carlin. And I'm Benjamin Carlin. |
| 0:22.2 | And we invite you to join us through the Griffin Door, your one-way ticket to the |
| 0:25.9 | enchanting world of Harry Potter. |
| 0:27.9 | So grab your wands and dust off your broomsticks and join us as we unlock the dark corridors |
| 0:32.1 | inside. |
| 0:33.2 | Order of the Phoenix. |
| 0:34.4 | Chapter 34, the Department of Mysteries. And it has never been truer that |
| 0:40.6 | we are unlocking the dark corridors today. Today is, this is the day. Yeah, it's like for the, |
| 0:45.9 | the phrase that you chose for, for Order of the Phoenix all throughout, for the first 33 chapters |
| 0:51.9 | have all been to build up to this moment. To this moment. |
| 0:55.8 | Exactly. We are there at long, long, long, long, long last. Um, and, you know, so looking at the |
| 1:02.2 | chapter art right away. I mean, I find it to be fully and completely iconic. What we've got here |

And it couldn't and shouldn't be anything else. And the thing that I think really stands out to me about this chapter art in particular is that it's like, it's not going to be until the very, very, very last page that it will say the words, he lifted the glass ball down from its shelf and stared at it. That is, that is the chapter art. And it is the second to last sentence of the chapter before Lucius Malphoy steps in. |
| 2:03.1 | And this to me is just like a take notes, Gobble to Fire, the first task. Because the first |
| 2:10.4 | task in Gobble to Fire is like probably my least favorite chapter art of all of it. All of it. |
| 2:17.0 | And it's so irritating because the first task is also one of my favorite chapters. |
