Snitches Get Stitches (DH Chapter 7, 'The Will of Albus Dumbledore')

Knock knock, who's there? Just the Minister for Magic, and he has questions about these 'random' things that Dumbledore has left behind for the Trio. Even after death, Albus knows how to mess with the Ministry, and we're here for it! Join us as we discuss Chapter 7 of Deathly Hallows, "The Will of Albus Dumbledore". Welcome Slug Club member, Sara! She gets extra points for remembering her Ilvermorny House even though we didn't ask for it. Ron has a birthday gift for Harry, but what is his intention behind it? Is he trying to genuinely be helpful, or is he just giving his bro a gag gift? Ron also admits to having barged in on Harry and Ginny. Is this appropriate behavior? Who ultimately should Ron try to be loyal to? Knock knock! The Minister is pulling into the Burrow with Arthur, and he has questions for Harry. Predictably, Scrimgeour handles this meeting with the Trio poorly. Could he have actually gotten some answers out of the Trio had he been different? Foreshadow alert! Hermione says she does NOT want to work in Magical Law after Hogwarts. We learn about the Snitch's 'flesh memory' as well as Scrimgeour's theory about the Sword of Gryffindor, and he's not too far off. Harry figures out the trick much sooner than expected. Turns out Norbert is a girl. How did Hagrid NOT know this sooner? Lynx Line: Which of Dumbledore's belongings would you have wanted? Quizzitch: What's the original name for the Deluminator?
