This week, explore the various teaching competencies of Hogwarts staff, and join the MuggleCasters as Harry dusts off an old potions book to find a cramped surprise within!

 <li>Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 9: The Half-Blood Prince The MuggleCast Pensieve segment highlights our last discussion of this chapter back on <a href="https://mugglecast.com/episode-389-quirky-walrus/">MuggleCast #389</a>!</li>
 <li>How does McGonagall’s attentiveness, which makes her a great teacher, compare with Slughorn’s incentivizing students to achieve their best work yet? Do less successful teachers (cough, Trelawney, cough, Snape) have something to learn from other teaching styles?</li>
 <li>Does the arrangement between Firenze and Trelawney to both teach Divination make sense?</li>
 <li>Was Snape really going to attack Harry? (All signs point to yes!)</li>
 <li>Crackpot Theory: Is Snape only being as awful as ever to Harry because Malfoy, now a Death Eater, is watching?</li>
 <li>Is Horace Slughorn... a good teacher?! His first lesson seems amazing. What would he be like with younger students?</li>
 <li>What are the pros and cons of Harry coming clean, and is what he chooses to do ethical? Is Hermione or Ginny closer to being right?</li>
 <li>Connections between this chapter and books 2 and 1 are plentiful! We discuss all the ones we found.</li>
 <li>MVP: Top sassy Harry lines that AREN’T “There’s no need to call me sir, professor.”</li>
 <li>Lynx Line: Have you ever had a school subject that you loved be taught by someone that you didn’t? How did it go?</li>
