S5E10 - The Lion Wins, the Serpent Strikes (OotP Ch. 19 & 20)
Gryffindor claims a bitter victory, while Hagrid returns with a dangerous tale from the giants.
Gryffindor defeats Slytherin—but Malfoy’s cruelty and Umbridge’s growing power transform the celebration into one of the team’s darkest days.
Then Hagrid finally returns to Hogwarts battered, bloodied, and carrying the story of his secret mission among the giants. Eric breaks down Ron’s crisis of confidence, Umbridge’s calculated punishments, the battle for the giants’ allegiance, and why every victory in these chapters seems to arrive with a cost.
