Summary

This week, Vanessa and special guest Hannah McGregor explore the theme of Apocalypse in Chapter 28 of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! They discuss Snape’s subtle display of care, Hagrid’s hut, and chaos as a liminal space! Throughout the episode we consider the question: how do we continue after an apocalyptic event?

Thank you to Heather for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 29, The Phoenix Lament, through the theme of Separation with Casper ter Kuile.

It’s two sickles to join S.P.E.W., and only five dollars to join our Patreon for extra content every week! Please consider helping us fill our Gringotts vault so we can continue to make this show.

1:04.1	And this is Harry Potter and the Sacred Text.
1:08.7	Hannah McGregor, you and I have never coasted Harry Potter on the Sacred Text together.
1:12.7	We have not. It feels so familiar and yet so unfamiliar.
