Welcome to Retold! A podcast where I retell you my favorite stories of all time, mainly Harry Potter. Every week, my guests and I do a chapter by chapter retelling of the Potter books and we discuss our favorite lines, lore, and love for this series. We also will retell other amazing fantasy stories somewhat randomly alongside our Potter episodes.

OOTP Chs 1&2 with Bailey
Q: List and paraphrase in order all the letters that are sent to Pivot Drive in Chapter Two.
The five letters come from Mathalda Hopkirk (expulsion notice and wand seizure), Arthur Weasley (don't give up wand but stay put), Sirius (sit tight, don't do anything), the Ministry (they spoke to Dumbledore, expulsion suspended), and the two Petunias (remember my last); the order was debated but ultimately concluded as five envelopes, with the last one unnamed in Chapter 1.
