Summary
Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of attention in chapter 17 of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. This week we come to you live from our show in Washington, D.C. We discuss how the Ministry treats Morfin, how Hermione ignores Ron, and the similarities between Voldemort and Dumbledore. We were so very lucky to have our dear friend, Ursa Ghazi, with us to tell a story from her experience.
Next week we're reading Chapter 18, Birthday Surprises, through the theme of Recklessness. Thanks to everyone who came out to the D.C. show.
Please consider supporting our Don’t Be A Dursley campaign. We’re trying to raise $35K by Christmas for RAICES - an organization that helps immigrants and refugees struggling for rights in our country.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody, Vanessa here. I wanted to let you know about a little class that I'm running. |
| 0:05.5 | It is just going to be me and we are just going to be doing sacred reading practices on Sunday nights |
| 0:11.3 | with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone. We are going to meet for six weeks this summer on Sunday |
| 0:17.0 | evenings. We're going to enjoy the heat and the sun and the light and each other's company and |
| 0:24.0 | each class we're going to do one or two sacred reading practices and it's really just about |
| 0:28.1 | community and discipline and believing that the sacred reading practices can change us and do |
| 0:34.7 | magical work on us. And we're going to work our way through Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone |
| 0:40.4 | over six weeks together just through Sparklitz. I hope you can join me. It's a really affordable class |
| 0:46.8 | and I'm imagining it just as lovely and I know that it will be even lovely with your presence. |

| 0:58.2 | Welcome to this week's episode of Harry Potter and the Secret Text. This episode was recorded live |
| 1:08.3 | in our nation's capital, Washington DC. And so as ever with a live show, you'll hear some background |
| 1:13.4 | noise, some laughing at visual jokes and you'll hear some editing here and there. We had a great |
| 1:19.3 | time in Washington DC and we are so grateful that we get to meet so many of you as we travel. |
| 1:25.2 | However, as we all know, it creates a huge carbon footprint in order for us to be able to travel |
| 1:31.1 | and meet so many of you. So to that end, we have partnered with One Tree Planted and are donating |
| 1:37.2 | One Tree for every hour that any and not sorry productions employee spends in the air in order |
| 1:43.1 | to travel for meetings and live shows. And we can only do this because of your incredible support |
| 1:48.9 | on Patreon. So on this Thanksgiving, we want to say how grateful we are to you. We're grateful to |
| 1:54.8 | you for giving us a reason to get on planes and we are grateful to you for helping us try to |
| 1:59.4 | be carbon neutral as we do. So thank you again, happy Thanksgiving and enjoy us live from Washington DC. |
