Ear Today, Gone Tomorrow (DH Chapter 5, 'Fallen Warrior')

This week, avoid using your most obvious spells and be careful who you let through the door! A stressful battle with Death Eaters has left Harry and co. on edge during our Chapter-by-chapter reread. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura for this holey harrowing readthrough.

Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Deathly Hallows, Chapter 5: Fallen Warrior

7-Word Summary: Paranoia ensues as survivors return from danger

The chapter title has us on edge. Do we remember suspecting the worst for a different character following the battle?

Why did Mad-Eye Moody insist on bringing Mundungus, who clearly didn't want to be there?

Could Mundungus have been decent if he wants to fight? Does he know more magic than Harry, Ron and Hermione since he is older?

We are glad that George is A-OK and that Molly can now tell her twin sons apart.

Whose side are we on between Harry and Lupin's arguments surrounding the Stan Shunpike encounter?

Is Lupin unfair to bring up James Potter's betrayal?

We discuss the effectiveness of the 7 Potters escape plan, after the fact.

How comes the Order members don't always follow through on the personal question / security check? Are they being reckless?

Could Bill or someone else have recreated the magic surrounding "Thief's Downfall" at Gringotts, or only goblins?
