This is the one where Voldemort gives everyone at Hogwarts the choice to deliver Harry to him before midnight otherwise the Death Eaters will attack the school. Only Pansy Parkinson seems to think this is a good idea so everyone braces to fight while Harry still struggles to determine where to find Ravenclaw’s Diadem. With Ron and Hermione nowhere to be found, he tracks down the hiding place but runs into a number of old friends on the way who have joined to help fight. Harry reunites with Ron and Hermione and they head toward the Room of Requirement where they are confronted by Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle. Crabbe casts a Fiendfyre curse and the room goes up in flames but Harry decides to save Draco and Goyle before they escape with the Diadem. The sixth Horcrux is destroyed and they start planning their next steps when they run into Fred and Percy. The group is attacked by Death Eaters, and they find Fred’s body in the wreckage.

On Episode 373 we discuss...

→ Is Rex Lea Michele?
→ Casual Tuesday at Hogwarts
→ Matchmaking Hermione
→ Dating your friend's sibling
→ Katie had one job

This is the one where the trio follow Neville through the passageway back to Hogwarts and they are regaled with harrowing stories about what has become of the school since their absence. They are told of students being tortured as the fascist regime of Death Eaters gain power over Hogwarts. Once they arrive in the Room of Requirement, they are met with a large group of former Dumbledore’s Army members who are excited to see them and fight back against the evil forces at play. Much to Harry’s dismay, even more of his friends show up expecting to be let in on their plans to defeat Voldemort. After some convincing from Ron and Hermione, Harry finally allows them to try and help and they lead him to the Lost Diadem of Ravenclaw which he thinks might be another Horcrux. Harry and Luna sneak into the Ravenclaw common room to see what it looks like and are ultimately caught by the Carrows (who are definitely not in the movie adaptation).
