Magical Theory, a Harry Potter podcast

Turn to Page 581, The Pensieve. Today’s lesson is called Curiosity The chapter begins with Dumbledore asking Harry to wait in his office while he and Fudge survey the area of Mr. Crouch’s disappearance. Harry greets Fawkes and gazes around the office before spotting glittering lights. He inspects this interesting thing until eventually falling into what he determines is a memory - similar to how he fell into Tom Riddle’s diary. He sees a large judicial room and watches different sessions of interrogation. First, Karkaroff offers names to the committee in return for leniency. Most of his offerings were not valuable - though Snape was among them, and defended publicly by Dumbledore, but Augustus Rookwood of the Department of Mysteries seems like actionable new evidence. Next comes Ludo Bagman, sometime later, accused of sharing information with Rookwood - but he claims it was just an accident. These hearings are overseen by a determined, and maybe zealotous, Barty Crouch, with Dumbledore and Moody in attendance
