Summary
Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of "disillusionment" in chapter thirty-six of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." This week we discuss Snape's bravery in revealing his dark mark, Molly's clarity of purpose in taking care of Harry, and the way government leaders tend to let us down. Our question this week: how much are we allowed to change the 'facts' of our own story?
Next week we're reading the very last chapter of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, chapter thirty-seven, The Beginning, through the theme of "love." We'll be coming to you live from our London show. Thanks this week to Kelly Webb for our voicemail.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. Are you feeling like you need to go back to school? I go through phases where |
| 0:08.9 | I am yearning to go back to school, but I don't really know how. And I feel like that |
| 0:16.4 | is a feeling that a lot of you nerds share with me, where you might want to go back to school, |
| 0:23.3 | but you want to go to a school where you can figure out how to live a life with intention |
| 0:27.3 | and meaning. And so I want to tell you about one of the most robust programs that we |
| 0:32.2 | at Not Sorry offer, because it is a seven month small cohort mini divinity school experience |
| 0:38.9 | called Wet Matters. You'll have three professors, including me, guiding you through a curriculum |
| 0:44.8 | of book discussion, spiritual learning, one-on-one chaplain seed, and personal storytelling. If |
| 0:51.8 | you're craving a deep educational experience, or you feel like you're not making enough |
| 0:56.2 | time in your life to think about life's big questions, then this really is the perfect space |
| 1:01.1 | for you. This session we're focusing on thinking about family, friendship, and ambition. We will |
| 1:08.0 | be asking questions like, what do I want out of my friendships? Who do you want to be in general |
| 1:13.8 | to the people who you love? And how do you hold people close while also setting boundaries? |
| 1:19.8 | Registration is open now. Class sessions are Wednesday evenings from 8 to 10 Eastern, and they |
| 1:25.7 | start on August 22nd. Find out more at NotSorryWorks.com and click on Wet Matters. |
| 1:37.1 | Chapter 36, The Parting of the Ways. Dumbledore stood up. He stared down at Barney Crouch for a |
| 1:44.4 | moment with disgust on his face. Then he raised his wand once more and ropes flew out of it, |
| 1:51.4 | ropes that twisted themselves around him. I'm Vanessa Zoltan, and I'm Caspar Teccail. |
| 1:56.4 | And this is Harry Potter and the Sacred Text. I remember so clearly the excitement I felt |
| 2:03.7 | about the first general election where I could vote. In the UK, you can vote when you're 18, |
| 2:08.8 | and so I was in college when the first election was coming up, and the elections in the UK |
| 2:14.6 | usually happened in May, so it was towards the end of the first year that I got really excited |
