The Buddies weren’t too happy about the 5th Harry Potter movie, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", where apparently the longest book in the series got hit with a shrinking charm. The Buddies discussed many important topics including: Death Eaters' and the Lost tv show crossover, Filch's unexpected workout routine, and whether the movie's pacing deserves to be thrown through the mysterious veil. So, grab your truth serum (which may or mayn’t be fake), avoid any suspicious-looking smoke clouds, and join us as dissect (attack) this movie for 45 minutes.
