Summary

This week, Vanessa and Matt explore the theme of Desire in Chapter 35 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! They discuss the Deatheaters’ true desires, the prophecy, and the Ministry’s denial.  Throughout the episode we consider the question: what underlies our surface desires?


Thank you to Yvette for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 36, The Only One He Ever Feared, through the theme of Mercy with Casper ter Kuile!
