7.29 The Lost Diadem
Neville's back, and he's a changed man, from his newfound confidence to his shrunken arm. At the same time, gossip king Terry Boot can barely contain his excitement, Michael Corner considers opening a bar (though the name is still undecided) and Cho Chang, Harry's ex-girlfriend, is as tempting as ever. All of this chaos does not impress Harry, who just wants to find the lost diadem (which is a bit like a crown).

7.28 The Missing Mirror
In the process of persuading the GOAT of his commitment to the mission, Harry ends up convincing himself, and proceeds with his nice job, which is the sort of thing you’d expect an unqualified wizard kid to be able to do without overstretching themselves. Meanwhile, Ron stuffs himself with cheese and mead, though he definitely missed the opportunity for some firewhisky- that bloke definitely would have sold him anything, he wouldn't care.
