Summary

This week, Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of Boundaries in Chapter 2 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! They discuss Dumbledore’s many secrets, Dudley’s misunderstood act of kindness, and Hedwig’s cage! Throughout the episode we consider the question: how do our boundaries change over time?

Thank you to Chelsea for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 3, The Dursleys Departing, through the theme of Vulnerability.
