Summary
This week, Vanessa and special guest Hope Rehak explore the theme of Attention in Chapter 25 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! They discuss Harry and Cho’s date, Umbridge’s surveillance, and Wizarding journalism. Throughout the episode we consider the question: how is attention a loving act?
Thank you to Nat for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 26, Seen and Unforeseen, through the theme of Doubt with Matt Potts.
