This week, Casper and Vanessa explore the theme of Authenticity in Chapter 14 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! They discuss Voldemort’s name, Hermione’s truth telling, and Ron’s splinching! Throughout the episode we consider the question: when should we prioritize authenticity?
Thank you to Norah for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 15, The Goblin’s Revenge, through the theme of Reconciliation.
Harry Potter and the Sacred Text is a Not Sorry Production

0:00.0 | Chapter 14. The Thief. Harry opened his eyes and was dazzled by gold and green. He had no |

0:55.7 | We just want to be on the record and say that we know that camping under duress is different than the kind of camping that we're going to talk about. We're inspired. I mean, I don't know about your camping trips, but I feel |
